Here is another quick and easy card using the KellyCraft Get-it-Straight Laser Square and some new dies and rubber stamp sets from Sizzix.  I also used some great colorful papers from Glimpses by SignifyPink.

This card is a great way to let someone know how much they really mean to you.  It's not a project that will take you hours to create but it really does say it all!  And once again with the Get-it-Straight Laser Square, layering your papers and getting your embellishments lined up perfectly is an absolute breeze.  Your card will look like a store bought card...only BETTER!!!

"I,n NOT a Morning Person"

One of the best things about being a Design Team member with KellyCraft, aside from working with the owners, Jimbo & Aaron, and having Ann as our Team Leader (they're all awesome!) is that we get to see the new products before they hit the market!

When I first saw the new line of "Jimbo Lojik" rubber stamps, I almost busted a gut laughing so hard at all the different sayings that the new line offers!  They are some of the funniest things that I've heard and they relate to everyone.

To prove my point, when KellyCraft offered this new line of rubber stamps at the CHA summer show in Vegas this past July, I had the pleasure of seeing first hand how people reacted to the stamps in our booth when they saw them.  Everyone, and I mean everyone, that picked up these stamps would read them and then laugh out loud!  I can't tell you how many people would say, "Hey, this sounds like our family" or something along those lines.  It was such a pleasure to stand in our booth and watch people get such a giggle out of these new stamps.  It made my whole show and I have never had more fun at work!!!

It is no secret that I am not a morning person and my KellyCraft family tease me about it all the time.  When I saw the set that I designed this card from, I asked Jimbo if he had made this stamp just for me.  He just smiled and said "Does it sound like anyone you know?" Yep, just like me.  I can't wait for all of you to buy these stamps, because I know you're going to say the exact same thing!

"Neater than socks on a chicken"

So, because I live in the same house as Jimbo, I hear Jimbo Lojik on a regular basis. It's so awesome to see those sayings come to life as stamps! So choosing one out of so many funny 'jimboisms' was a little difficult at first. Then I came across the "Socks on a chicken" and since our son loves chickens, it was the perfect choice. A great sentiment to let someone know how 'neat' you think they are in a simple card.

Supplies used:
Jimbo Lojik Stamp Set G - KellyCraft
Color Box Crafter's Ink - Bark
Get-It-Straight Laser Square - KellyCraft
Clementine Paper Pack - Close To My Heart

"Life is Better"

Well, school has started and at our house that means summer is officially over. I was talking to several teachers in the hallway on Monday about the things we will miss the most about summer. I think we all came to the agreement, that one of the things at the top of our list was flip-flops! After spending the day up and down the halls in a pair of heals, our feet were certainly missing the carefree, summer days spent wearing flip-flops. Let's face it, "Life is better in flip-flops!" When I saw this sentiment on the new Jimbo Lojik stamp set made by Kellycraft, I knew that I wanted to create a card for my teacher buddies. I wanted the cards to be bright and cheerful so I choose the Dream Pop paper pack and used the ColorBox Crafter's ink in Sweet Pea, Aruba, and Fire.

Starting off today is:

Words to the Wise by Candice Windham

When I first saw the new Jimbo Lojik stamps at the Craft andHobby Show, I thought, “Finally, there’s someone who thinks like me.” These word stamps are straight from my Granny’s mouth … or from my Dad, my crazy aunt and all the people I dealt with on a regular basis while I was growing up. There is such a variety of phrases and something for every occasion. I had a tough time selecting one for this hop, because they are all so down-to-earth funny.

I combined them with beautiful Clearsnap Color Box inks, Smooch Pearlized Accent Inks and a couple of my new Spellbinders curvy borders to create this fun card. I plan to send it to one of my good friends, who is definitelya drama queen. We have been saying this to each other for years. Obviously, I can be a bit of a drama queen myself.

Here’s how I did it:

Supplies

• Jimbo Lojik stamps
• Acrylic stamp block
• Color Box Pigment Brush Pads, Chestnut and Alpine
• Color Box Archival Dye Ink Cat’s Eye, Wicked Black
• Smooch Pearlized Accent Inks, Pool and Gold Lamé
• Spellbinders Borderabilities, A2 Curved Borders One
• Spellbinders Grand Calibur
• Legs Stamp; Graphic 45
• Swirl Stamp; Magenta
• Glue Dots, small and medium
• Card Fold, 8 ½” x 5 ½”, folded to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”
• Scrap papers from my stash
• Brown 1/8” ribbon, 24”
• Brown feather
• Colored Pencils, brown and teal; Prismacolor

Instructions

1. Cut three borders with Spellbinders curved borders die. The top sheet should be approximately 2 7/8” wide at the bottom and top and 5” tall. Sponge the edges of the top sheet and the bottom curve with Chestnut ink. Stamp the swirl stamp on the top sheet with Chestnut ink. Adhere all layers together.
2. Stamp the legs stamp on white cardstock. Color with colored pencils. Add Smooch in Pool to the shoes and Gold Lamé to the base. Adhere to card front with Glue Dots.
3. Stamp Jimbo Lojik sentiment in Wicked Black ink on cream cardstock. Trim top and bottom on trimmer, then tear left and right edges. Sponge all edges with Chestnut and Alpine inks. Trim a scrap of printed cardstock slightly larger than sentiment card and ink edges. Attach the sentiment to the printed cardstock slightly askew, then attach to card with glue dots.
4. Attach ribbon to back of card with small glue dot. Wrap around the card twice and glue end with glue dot. Tie excess ribbon in a bow around the two strips on the front. Add feather.
5. Attach to front of folded card. Trim card right edge to fit the curve and ink the edge with Chestnut ink.

That’s’ it. See how easy that was?
