There is an old saying that laughter is the best medicine. If that is so, how about a dose of a humorous hello card? It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
It’s the talented Joanne’s turn to host our monthly theme challenge. She has selected “Cards That Make You Smile!” How much fun is that? I went with one of the few humorous sets I have in my stash, Stampin’ Up!’s “We’ll Walrus Be Friends”. The walrus images are so cute, and are sure to brighten anyone’s day. This is one of the sets which will be leaving us this June. You can see the complete retirement lists later in today’s post. I hope you enjoy today’s card. As for me, I can’t wait to see what you create!
Colors of the Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
An adorable walrus floating on ice is the focal point of this card. Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends were used to color in my critter, while a Light Pool Party Blend was used to outline him and color the water. If my ice looks sparkly, it’s because it has a layer of glitter on top. Blue rhinestones are used as accents.
The little fish which adorn the sentiment were colored with Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut out. The adorable striped banner was created from a pattern in the Come Sail Away designer series paper collection, which is retiring. And that awesome textured background? That’s the High Seas 3D embossing folder. Sadly, it is leaving us, too.

Just love this card Ann! That walrus looks very happy to have found a ride – and wow, what a beautiful glittery iceberg that is! The striped paper is lovely and what a shame that gorgeous EF is retiring. Isn’t it amazing how quickly pups grow! That’s a wonderful photo of Sixx – looks almost like a painted portrait! Vicky x
Adorable card. Fun glitter accent along with your great texture and layering.
I love a walrus or two Ann – they always make me smile so I’m glad you used this set too this week! I will be keeping my retiring set, so will also be pinching that glittery iceberg idea in the future – love the sparkle! Also – great picture of Sixx; is it painted or creatively photogrpahed? It made me want to paint it, I love the pose!
Ann, this card made me SMILE! I love that chubby walrus on his glittery iceberg. The striped banner and embossed background are just perfect! HBD to the party of ten. Your babies are beautiful! Time flies! Stay well, My Friend! XX
