SoSS #231 - B is for Bunny

Greetings and salutations snarky pals!

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

With spring arriving and Easter approaching, we are celebrating all things bunny.

This is one of my "OMG this took me ALL day to make" cards.

The bunny is from the September 2022 crop & create (which I had not used until now!!), the postcard die is from this past weekend's crop & create event and the sentiment is from a stamp and die set I found at Michael's years ago.

I watched the video from the September 2022 event to watercolour the background, the bunny and the little pill bottle.

Several things went awry in the making of this card and it almost ended up in the recycling.

But I took sooooooo long to do the watercolouring, I couldn't bear to toss it!

A few of the many things I have learned doing crop and create events - friends, it's only paper...and...it's better than horrible!

The little pill bottle, when die cutting, the die shifted, so it has an indent in it...meh...

When cutting the background piece with the postcard die, the little pill bottle die was still stuck on the cutting plate - so there's a pill bottle size hole in the background behind the bunny...meh

Shite I used to make this card:

• White and black cardstock (Recollections)
• Watercolour paper (crop & create Sept 2022 kit)
• Feel Better stamp and die set (Mama Elephant)
• Cheeky Modern Pop stamp and die set (Recollections)
• Seaside Post Wafer Dies (Concord & 9th)
• India Ink Black ink (Hero Arts)
• Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw, Gathered Twigs distress inks (Tim Holtz)
• Water colour pen (Tim Holtz)
• Water spritzer (SU)

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

SoSS #230 - Y is for Yuck

 

Greetings and salutations snarky friends!

Hope all is well and safe in your corner of the world and thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

Ready to see some gross stuff?? 

Join us for Y is for Yuck.

I call my project an ode to my 20 year old laundry adverse son.

I am not sure why he is so laundry adverse, but I can tell ya he has nowhere near the amount of underwear it would take him to have a pair for every day between laundry loads...TMI

Don't get me wrong, his underwear DOES NOT look like this - but come on kid, do some freaking laundry!

My lovely and wonderful SISTER JULES sent me some images from this stamp set (with which I made his birthday card and he was not impressed LMAO), then I found the set on sale at one of my local shops, so of course I had to buy it!!

I impressed myself by (not too badly) fussy cutting the underwear and paper piecing the band at the top so it was all matchy matchy.

My crafty pal DEENA helped me design the pee stain (do I have the BEST friends or what??)

My card is an almost direct CASE of the card I found here on Pinterest (apart from the yucky pee stain).

Shite I used to make this card:

• White and black cardstock (Recollections)
• Well Played design paper (Carta Bella)
• 2.5: circle punch (Marvy)
• Black Soot distress ink (Tim Holtz)
• Change is a Good Thing stamp set (Unity Stamp Company)
• Yellow Blaze marker (Bic)

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

Hope all is well and safe in your corner of the world.

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

Edna appears to have been working on her ink collection in more way than one - check out those awesome sleeves and maybe a wee tat under her eye?? Makes me want another tattoo...sigh...

Anywho...break out your inks and show us what you've got!

I drew inspiration from 2 of my crafty friends for this card.

HELEN who showed how you can print random imanges and photos to use on crafty projects, and DEENA who insists I follow the rule of three for bling and not just randomly drop 1 or 2 (LOL).

Shite I used to make this card:

• Pre cut card base (American Crafts)
• Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers and Black Soot distress inks (Tim Holtz)
• Bit of Burlap stamp (Market Street Stamps)
• Small Talk Snarky sentiment sticker (Tim Holtz)
• Random image from the internet printed on photo paper
• Bling(Michaels)

Mine is a T...I got this great sentiment stamp from Crackerbox / Suzy Stamps recently at a local crafty store...and IT WAS ON SALE!!!!

Greetings and salutations snarky friends.

Hope all is well in your corner of the world.

Thanks for stopping by to check out the  V IS FOR VINTAGE challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers

I don't usually make cards for myself, but I think this one I will keep and hang on my bulletin board behind my laptop to remind myself that I am fabulous and an a+ grown up.

Sometimes we all need a wee reminder that we are awesome, even if it comes from ourselves.

Adulthood is seriously overrated...that's all I will say on that. LOL

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock (American Crafts)
• Black cardstock (Recollections)
• Everyday Flair design paper (My Minds Eye)
• Fabulous 3x4 pocket crafting cards (Authentique)
• Sentiment sticker (KrissyAnne Designs)

SoSS #226 - G is for Glitter

Greetings and salutations crafty friends!

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

This time around, we are celebrating all things {{GAH!!}} glitter.

The bane of my crafty existence, shaky hands and glitter are not the best combination. I will only use loose glitter in very controlled circumstances, like a shaker card and even then, it still gets everywhere!

The shaker tag die was a freebie from Taylored Expressions (which I hadn't used yet) so I thought it would be perfect for this card and this challenge.

I can see making more shaker tags for sure, they were relatively quick and easy (after I watched a few videos lol).

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock (American Crafts)
• Black cardstock (Recollections)
• Shaker Tag (Taylored Expressions)
• Shaker bits and acetate (Recollections)
• Sweet Talk design paper and cardstock stickers (Simple Stories)
• Pink extra fine glitter (Dollarama)

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

Jingle Belles - What Did Santa Bring You

Greetings and salutations crafty friends!

The first challenge of 2023 with our friends at Jingle Belles is What Did Santa Bring You.

I hit the Christmas crafty jackpot this year! Santa brought me some card kits and paper collections, and a shiny new paper trimmer.

So far I have made four cards with the Simple Stories "Baking Spirits Bright" card kit.

Seriously, these are so cute, I am not sure I can bring myself to give them away...nonetheless...I am on my way to creating my 2023 Christmas cards and it's only January 9th!

Here are two of the four cards I made so far:

Quick and easy cards, you pop all the pieces out, adhere them all together and voila...super cute little ginger people cards!
