Hello, Stamplings!
Welcome to October 1st! And welcome to Day Eight of our ten-day challenge to USE NBUS! For all the details on the history, rules, and prizes, please go here. If you have a card to enter today, the linky tool is below!
Just like this year, this NBUS challenge seems to be going by too fast! Today I have a coupla cards for you and a recipe. You might say the sediments on these cards are updated versions of "Old Wives Tales!"
On a light pink card base (which looks jaundiced on my monitor!), I stamped one of the "My Ladies" stamps from Stamps By Judith. Thankfully, Judith is still in business along with her daughter! I colored this zany chef with my Ziggies and added a sediment from an ancient black foam-backed stamp with no name. Then I used a piece of old SU! pp to cut a fun frame from MFT.
I think she is making Christmas Rum Cake, don't you?!

Off you go! Have a great day using that NBUS!!

Christmas Rum Cake
(unknown source)
Before you start, sample the rum and check for quality. Good, isn't it? Now, go ahead.
Select a large mixing bowl, measuring cup, etc. and check that rum again for quality. It must be just right. With an electric mixer, beat one cup butter in a large fluffy bowl, and add one teaspoon of sugar and beat again. Meanwhile, make certain that rum is still the best quality.
Add two large eggs and two cups dried fruit and beat well until bery high. If fruit gets stuck in the beater, pry it out with screwdriver. Sample rum again, checking for consistency.
Next, sift in three cups of baking powder, pink of rum, one seaspoon toda and one cup of pepper. Or is it salt? Anway, don't fret, just test the rum again. Sowie . . .
Now, sift in half a pint of lemon juice, fold in chopped buttermilk, and add strained nuts. Rample the sum again.
Now, add one bablespoon srown tugar or whatever color is around. Mix well. Grease oven and turn on cake pan to 350. Now pour the whole mixture into the oven and ~ oops ~ now where did I put that mop?
On second thought, gorfet it, check the rest of fa rum, and go to bed!~~~
I also colored this character with my Ziggies, but this time I drew a funky frame around her. (She looks like she stayed up half the night making two batches of Rum Cake!) Then I stamped the NBUS sediment from Cheeky Monkey and added the Washi tape. Yes, I know, I'm using a lot of NBUS Washi tape ~ bonus!

I want to share two links with you as additional sources for funny/snarky stamps. Gail told me about Carmen's Viranda (just the company name karacks me up!) and Mary Anne told me about Creative Vision Stamps. Enjoy!

Jane

Anne
Hi Darnell, Loved both cards.
Hope you have a nice day. Sue
Such fun cards Darnell you never fail to amuse me......sending lots of love x
Totally terrific! Jo x
Both super cards Darnell. I just popped by with a second card xx
Super cute cards Darnell! I used to have a couple of those stamps by Judith. I'm wishing I had held on to them. So cute and fun!
This is so great card!
Cute cards!!
Your cards are adorable, the links are great for sentiments and that rum cake sounds like fun. I never thought about washi tape I have a hoard of it and I washi tape challenged.
Two more great makes Darnell and two more really fun sentiments to boot! Wonderful colouring and NBUS washi, and a great doodled frame on the second. x
So glad you suggested commenting on 3 entries, it made me stop and look at all of them and WOW, great inspiration and enjoyment slowing down and browsing, thanks!
One seaspoon soda...hahahahhahah! Love the recipe; love your cards! I may have be indulging in rum after we come home from officiating today's bike race; both a snow AND wind warning in effect. Yep...longjohns and mega-huge parka day! The gallery is ahhhh-mazing!
Hugs and love~c
He, he, he! Yo karack me up, Dolly!
darnell, i am loving your humerous cards!!
Once again, I forgot what you made because I was too busy reading the snarky sentiments on the 2 links. Good gosh some of them really do make me laugh out loud. Oh, now I remember, rum cake and a terrific recipe and some lady mixing it up. Love reading your posts. [Bunny]
Hi Darnell,
as usual brilliant cards and brilliant sediments too.
Their designs are super and those stamped images are super also.
Thank you for sharing the link for the sediment stamps.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I feel quite drunk after reading about your Rum cake now I nee a lie down.
Love and crafty hugs from my house to yours. Jenny L.
You are right Darnell, these web sites are hilarious - thanks for sharing:)
I love the zany dogs and boy have you been using your stash of washi tape. Isn't it fun?
QUESTION: Have you seen a stamp that reads "Today I will be happier than a bird with a french fry." I love it and saw it painted on a bedroom wall at an estate sale. Have fun Irma. BBB
What a hoot, I love those wonderful ladies. Thanks for brightening my day
I really LOVE the sentiments today - they are just hilarious, I am loving all of your makes during this NBUS challenge - I even managed to join in! Hugs, Annie xx
When NBUS is over, where am I going to go to laugh my ass off...it really does need reducing. You keep coming up with these tired old hags...and make them look so good. Maybe I should just take a picture of myself and slap it on a card.
Hahahahaha! Now, stop! I can't take anymore! I had to go look at those sentiment sites. Pretty funny! If anyone's interested, Rubbernecker has good sentiments, some snarky, but not too severely snarky. Lots of other good sentiments, too. I think they're a much neglected site.
Lovely cards - and I must try that recipe! x Anne
These great cards definitely gave me my laugh for today...very nicely done!
Fabulous cards and what a great recipe...WOW! Love your handmade frame and cheery color palette on both cards, too! Thanks so much for another really fun challenge, Darnell and thank you for keeping me smiling every day ;)
Thanks for the laughs. I just love the cards you made this time too!
Two more fabulous funny cards, love them Darnell, Kate x
Another fun day and thank you for the recipe for the rum cake x
HA HA HA good ones. I am loving the cards and the bit of lovely snark.
It's a great wish for friends :-) hehe, as always a great sentiment and a perfectly matched image. Thank you for smiling, Darnell :-))
Another day of fun and laughter. Great cards, Darnell. I've seen the sentiment on the second one before and it's my favorite. I hope you were able to copy and paste that recipe because I don't know how else you could keep it straight. Oh wait. I guess it doesn't matter. ;)
Darnell, you made me laugh a lot, again!!! :D Such fabulous funny/snarky cards!! You made my day (evening), :)thanks so much!
That's exactly how I feel about housework!! LOL! Such fun cards!!!
I Love your fun cards
& the Rum cake recipe is
too funny!
Thanks for sharing that great rum cake ressapie! I tird it and siz yhummmmmmmmmmeeee. BTW, ur cardizzzzzzz are funeee too! Hic!
Darnell, I very much enjoyed today's cards. And a big thank you for giving us links to those two sites. I've already been there to look/see, and am just about to go back to spend lots of $$. Oh, and before I forget, I will be making that version of Rum Cake for my next Girl's Day Out get together. If anyone makes a snarky comment about the taste, I'll just say, "It has to be right, I got the recipe from the internet". I promise I will not incriminate you in any way. Hugs
Two more great cards and I can relate to the sediment about housework.... dangerous stuff that :) Thanks for all the laughs and inspiration. Hugs, Zelda
Loads of fun!!
Cute, cute, cute! The frame you drew is amazing, Darnell--love it!

Your cards are so cute, thanks for the funny/snarky stamps link, I will take a look see there next!
Two more fun cards! I've really been enjoying your humorous creations. I checked out the links you listed for humorous stamps. I love the creativity of the two companies. Found myself laughing out loud, with my husband wondering if I had finally gone off the deep end.
Fabulous cards, love the humour! I daren't look at those links or Mt NBUS might grow another couple of feet!
Hahahahaha ... so fun, Darnell ... those sentiments are brilliant ... knew there was a reason for me not doing housework ... and not baking!! Thanks for those links ... I'm still wiping away the tears!! LYAMYLMAHYHAHD! Big hugs & bisous, Anita :)
