My sister and I enjoy sending funny cards to each other. On her last trip back, we visited the local scrapbook store for some crafty shopping. Each time I looked over at her, she was fanning herself with pieces of patterned paper and sweating like crazy. I was just waiting for Debbie, one of the shop owners, to tell my sister , "Excuse me
ma'am, but you'll have to buy that paper if you're going to sweat all over it". My sister says just you wait
sista, your time is coming! :)
So I thought it would be fun to send my sister one of these cards:

At first glance, she'll think it's a cute Christmas card. But then she'll get a look at this fan.

And then she'll read the sentiment: Personal summers in the middle of winter?

And the inside of the card says: Well that stinks

I can't wait to get her *hardy
har har* phone call when she gets this one in the mail! And just in case you have a friend experiencing the dreaded hot flashes, I've added a few of these cards to my
Etsy shop. Enjoy!
Card details: The
electric fan and inside sentiment images are from Karen
Lockhart. I colored the fan image with
Copic Sketch markers, using the patterned paper as the color inspiration. Ranger Glossy Accents makes the fan look shiny, while glitter and a glue pen were used for the air blowing out of the fan. I added a few small snowflake stamps to the image to reflect the winter theme. Front card sentiment was computer generated then printed.

Hahahaha!! She's going to crack up! :)
I love that font on the front- do you remember what it was?
Those are funny! I have been put on new medication that give me hot flashes from time to time. The cool thing is I can wear short sleeves even though it is cold!
Too funny. I have that stamp, I might have to make one for a friend of mine too. What font did you use for the front sentiment?
ha ha! That is funny! SO clever!
Love the card and the sentiment. It cracks me up!
That's a funny one and would fit me as well as your sister! One has to have some humor to survive the darn things!
That is too funny!
love your sense of humor and style!
so funny! I had to have a hysterectomy at a young age and this would have been fun to have rec'd. I think I need this fan image for my SIL and friends going thru this now though. Ü
i've lived through it - and humor definitely helps! great card, as usual. you are a hoot, mish and i have a feeling your sister is going to get a cooling laugh from this adorable card!

He he! I laughed too :) My own sister would have appreciated this and I definitely would have received a har-de-har phone call from her!
