SoSS #261 - M is for Manly

Greetings and salutations snarky friends, thanks for visiting to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Our challenge theme for the next month is M is for Manly.

I went back to a stamp set and class (one of my faves) from the March 2023 Crop & Create with a base stamp set from LRDS Creative, added my "Walter" image from Riley & Co and a snarky sentiment from Frantic Stamper Inc and my super old (maybe the oldest other than swiss dots??) happy birthday embossing folder.

As always we would love for you to join the sisterhood and get your green on!

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.

Until next time...best wishes, warmest regards!

SoSS #260 - G is for Green

 

Greetings and salutations snarky friends!

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

Before we roll on to the challenge, is Edna not giving you total Wicked & Elphaba vibes??

I am a huge fan of the book series and play (haven't seen the movie...yet)

Our challenge theme for the month is G is for Green

My go to for green this time of year is usually a combo anniversary and St Patrick's Day (we got married on March 17). 

Not sure if the Kevinator will get this one as an anniversary card or not??

I haven't been overly snarky the last few challenges, so I broke into my Tim Holtz snarky sentiment stickers to make my gnome a little naughtier.

Here's what I made for the challenge using the Tulla and Norbert's Lucky Charm collection from PhotoPlay.

This fun fold is a direct CASE of a super cool birthday card I received from my crafty friend Donna

(fun fact, we both call each other the "other Donna" lol).

Here is the card she made for me

Yep, mine was pretty much a directly copy of hers with different papers and a snarkier gnome, so thanks Donna for the inspiration!!

As always we would love for you to join the sisterhood and get your green on!

SoSS #259 - L is for Love

 

Greetings and salutations snarky friends - thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

Can you believe that February is already upon us?  January felt like a month of 999 days - and then pop here we are in the season of love...meh

Edna has mixed feelings about love, as you can see from her candy hearts. 

"Hard Pass" and "Ewww" are my favourites.

However you feel about love and Valentine's Day, we'd love for you to show us your love and play along.

I am generally not a lot of huggy romance lovey lovey typa gal, but I do really like making Valentine cards for my family and special littles.

I used a stand up envelope die from Pink & Main (from a past crop & create event) and a mish mash of Valentine paper collections (I have a LOT of those) to make a set of these cute stand up cards.

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

SoSS #258 - N is for NBUS

 

Greetings, salutations & happy new year snarky friends!

Thanks for checking out the first challenge of 2025 from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

Did you get some awesome new crafty supplies over the holidays??

Or like me, do you have so many things in your craft room that you have never used??

This is the challenge for you!

We want to see all of your NBUS (never been used stuff).

I bought this peeking winter bear die by Hero Arts before the holidays with great intentions of making many Christmas cards, but...I did not...it sat in its package glaring at me for weeks...silver lining, I can use it for this challenge and add to my stash of winter birthday cards.

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.

I'm also linking this card up for the following challenges:

Just Us Girls - Die Week #756 - Anything Goes

Jingle Belles - Something Old...Something New

Shopping Our Stash #536 - Winter But Not Christmas

 

Greetings and salutations crafty friends!

All the best of the holiday season to you and yours!

Joining in on the latest challenge from the crew at SHOPPING OUR STASH - WINTER BUT NOT CHRISTMAS

Always looking for ways to use up the many, many, many, many paper collections that I have hoarded, I found this great link on youtube making 18 cards from the Carta Bella Snow Much Fun collection (yep, I have that one).

So I didn't make all 18 cards, but I did make 5!

Cards got a little wet taking pictures in my driveway, not sure if you can see the tiny snowflakes that landed and melted on them - hey it is a winter themed challenge!

Until next time, best wishes and warmest regards...

SoSS #257 - H is for Ho Ho Ho (Naughty Christmas)

 

Greetings and salutations snarky pals!

Hope that all is well in your corner of this crazy little planet we inhabit together.

The end of another year is almost upon us and for Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers that means it's time for on of our favourite annual challenges - H is for Ho Ho Ho (Naughty Christmas).

We want to see some colossal year end snark on these ones

Don't celebrate Christmas? Cool Cool...show us what you celebrate this time of the year and don't forget to bring the snark!

I had this card in my little brain and I am happy it came out even better than I hoped!

I am soooooooo in love with the sidekick side-order collections from Tim Holtz - I had to use a few (Letter Board and Christmas Minis) on my card. 

I hope that Sister Deena is proud of me for doing some die cutting (little pieces and old eyes are not a good combination!)

Shite I used to make this card:

• White, pink and black cardstock (Recollections)
• Fa La La design paper (Bella Blvd)
• Kraft Core cardstock (Tim Holtz)
• Sanding block (SU)
• Letter Board and Christmas Minis sidekick side-order thinlits / texture fades  (Tim Holtz)

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

Hey Dude!

Super excited that both SHOPPING OUR STASH and SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY  have masculine challenges on right now.

I picked up the "Party Animal" stamp, stencil and die set by Concord & 9th not that long ago and had yet to break into it. 

I always struggle making dude cards (why is that??) so I thought these ones would work for lots of things depending on the colour scheme (I also struggle not to use pink and purple all the time lol).

I love the reverse stamping of the sentiment stamp, the ink stamps the black background and the text stays the colour of the cardstock underneath.

The colours of balloon dogs in the background required me to number the colours in sharpie on the first stencil and use lots of sticky notes for masking.

This card is almost a direct CASE of the sample card at Two Scrapbook Friends (which might have been why I bought it???)

Entering this card into the following challenges:

SHOPPING OUR STASH #535 0 MASCULINE

SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY #296 - MASCULINE

Until next time, best wishes, warmest regards...
