Christmas Kickstart Challenge & SoSS

Greetings all!

While Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers are on a bit of a break, our pal and sister Jo has invited us to play along for the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #80 - It's Christmas Jim, but not as we know it.

We want to see something non traditional on your project (including perhaps a Star Trek reference???).

I went the non traditional colour route with a blue, pink and purple card using a super cute Let's Stamp Together kit from November 2022 from Scrapbook and Cards today and LDRS creative.

The ornament is 3 separate layering stamps (super cool right??)

We would love for you to come on over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge blog and play along with us!

There might even be a prize!!!

Simple Stories - Baking Spirits Bright

May have forgotten that I only did 4 of the 8 cards last year in this super cute "Baking Spirits Bright" card kit from Simple Stories.

On a crafty roll (pun intended) and finished off the kit. 

Will likely be adding these to my stash of "too cute to give away" cards.

Simple Stories - Mix & A-Mingle

 Here are the other 4 cards I made using the super cute Mix & A-Mingle card kit from Simple Stories.

When I have zero crafty mojo, these card kits are just the thing to pop together.

Thing is, they are sooooooo stinking cute, I never want to give them away

JINGLE BELLES - NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING

 

Had a little crafty time over the weekend, finally cracked into a card kit I bought last year and some of the cards, with a mix of dogs, a cat and a reindeer are a great fit for the current challenge at Jingle Belles...NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING

Here are 4 of the 8 cards I made (the other 4 didn't have any creatures) using the super cute Mix & A-Mingle card kit from Simple Stories.

I love love love the colour combo in these cards (kinda looks like the Jingle Belles photo above!)

Shopping Our Stash #508 - Colour Challenge

Cute fall card using the September 2023 Let's Stamp Together kit from Scrapbook & Cards Today and The Stamps of Life.

Love the stamps dies and stencils in this kit!

Entering this card for the Colour Challenge at Shopping our Stash.

SoSS #244 - X is for Xanadu

Greetings and salutations snarky friends.

Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

X is for Xanadu

I gotta admit, I was at a loss on this one. When I think Xanadu, I think Olivia Newton John and roller skating...but then I googled the meaning and got this:

Xanadu • \ZAN-uh-doo\ • noun: an idyllic, exotic, or luxurious place

For me, my happy place, is camping. We currently have a travel trailer that is parked at a seasonal site...it has a fridge, microwave, furnace, running water, full bathroom and air conditioning, that's pretty luxurious camping.

I grew up camping in a tent trailer with my family, to me that is the most idyllic way to camp because I have the best memories.

You might notice one consistency in the 3 cards, mosquitoes! Not only are they essential for camping, they are one of the only things I am allergic to...so I am a benadryl camper..lol...never leave home without it!

So here's what I came up with for the challenge:

Shite I used to make these cards:

• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Camp Happy Bear and Happy Trails collections (Simple Stories)

As always we would love for you to join the sisterhood and play along.

You can find all the details for the challenge on the SoSS BLOG.

While you are there, please share some crafty love with our reigning Queen of Snark and the rest of the sisterhood.

This is going to be our last SoSS challenge for 2023. 

Edna and the Sisterhood are going to take a much needed (and deserved) break for the next few months.

Greetings & salutations snarky friends! Hope that all is well in your corner of the universe!

Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Looks like Edna perfected her tie dying skills at summer camp...and now she'd like you to show us YOUR vivid creations!

I totally took the easy way out on this one and used a "Done For You" alcohol ink sheet from Taylored Expressions.

I am having one of those no mojo times, so this worked super well for the challenge and hey, it does have vivid colours!

The image is from a stamp set I picked up at Scrapfest in Kitchener this past April and then of course, a snarky sentiment (is it snarky if it's the truth???)

Shite I used to make this card:

• White and black cardstock (Recollections)
• Done For You Alcohol Ink Series 2 sheet (Taylored Expressions)
• A Little Snarky stamp set (Sweet'n Sassy Stamps)
• Nocturne ink (Tsukineko)
• Small Talk Snarky sentiment sticker (Tim Holtz)

As always we would love for you to join the sisterhood and play along.

You can find all the details for the challenge on the SoSS BLOG. 

While you are there, please share some crafty love and comments with our reigning Queen of Snark and the rest of the sisterhood.
