Hello Cards

I have been cleaning my house all week. (We have ants... Need I say more? It sent me on a cleaning frenzy.) I just wanted to make a card or something! (I have been crocheting, too a little..) I don't know where this card idea came from. My brain. I had a stamped Hello piece just sitting there. And I started coloring it.. I looked on Pinterest for ideas but I wanted "banners", going horizontally from the "Hello" piece. I couldn't find anything except for one thing (I didn't take a screenshot of it.) This is what I came up with. 🤷

Then I started to look at other "banner" handmade cards, and "purple". I found one that was both! 😀And it says "hello". It's a Triple Whammy. This is my version. I don't have a simple "hello" stamp, all mine are with a bird, or in a circle..  But, I do have "letter" stamps and I put them on my acrylic block and hoped for the best. 😁 I wasn't very happy with it alone, but when I put it all together, I really liked it. I don't want to send it to anyone. LOL...  I only had one purple (lavender, really) envelope left. And I cut the card base out to fit the envelope. 

This is the Pinterest inspiration. I was not paying attention, and I stuck all my "banners" down all the way. And my little heart punch is a little smaller. But, I still really like my card. Usually I am not 100% happy with my cards. But this one, I am. For some reason I thought of the Purple People Eater... I googled it, I couldn't remember what it was- a cartoon? A song? It was a song...  "It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater (One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater).

I was just sitting there and I had a bunch of scraps on the desk and I started putting them all together. Lol. I don't know what you would even call it. Abstract Art Ephemera. It's all in the garbage, now. I was just messing around...

I'm still kind of in the mood to make cards. But everyone is home today and we will probably all be doing something. Or not. But I won't be able to make cards..    I have been crocheting a Fourth of July gnome! I still have the nose, and the arms to do. (I know, I better hurry, it's almost here...) I need to get one more color and it's upstairs in my mess of a room.... (sigh...)  I want to crochet a Purple People Eater, too. 😝 Oh my God!! I just googled if there was a pattern for one and there is! 😂😂😂 I have to crochet one! I love it!!

There are a few patterns, but this is another free one. There's some on Etsy too. Those aren't free though obviously.  

I don't even know why I thought of that.. I have purple on the brain I guess.
