Shopping Our Stash #533 - Birds of a Feather

 

Had a day with a little bit of down time today (whhhaaaaattt?????) so I decided to play along with a few challenges including SHOPPING OUR STASH and their latest challenge - "Birds of a Feather" and  SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY challenge #294 - Feather

Some of you may know that I have a weird unwarranted terrifying fear of birds, so I don't have a lot of bird related craft supplies LOL

Last year my crafty friend Christa gifted me a few stamp sets, including this "Dream" set from Lawn Fawn...I knew I had feathers somewhere!

I based my card on this one I found on pinterest:

Here is my watercolour rainbow of feathers (I need to find the coordinating dies now!)

Shite I used to make this card:

• White and black cardstock (Recollections)
• Nocturne Versafine ink (Tsukineko)
• Dream stamp set (Lawn Fawn)
• Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac distress inks (Tim Holtz)
• Watercolour brush (Tim Holtz)

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

SoSS #255 H is for Halloween

 

Greetings and salutations crafty pals!

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

With October upon us, it's time to celebrate all things Halloween!

As is it also Breast Cancer Awareness month, we like to throw in the option of pink as well.

I have a plethora of Halloween design paper - like more than Christmas, I can't stop collecting (haha) Halloween paper! So in an effort to use up some of my stash (and do some crafting at the trailer that didn't require my entire craft room) I made some mini albums.

I started with THIS TUTORIAL and a few empty bear paw boxes (yes I eat like a 2 year old)

Each mini album has 12 pages, I made a few pages with pockets and journalling cards, left some for pictures or whatever. These were super fun to make - now to figure out what to do with them lol

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.

SoSS #253 - A is for Autumn

 

Greetings and salutations snarky friends!

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

Labour Day is past, kids are back to school, all things pumpkin spice have returned.

It may not quite be sweater weather yet, but we are celebrating autumn and hope that you will join us!

Growing up my favourite part of fall (nerd alert) was getting ready for back to school. Shopping for school supplies and that special back to school outfit - even now I can't resist looking at school supplies this time of year!

Since my crafty mojo took a significant leave of absence over the summer and  I just haven't been motivated to do anything crafty, so I kinda took a cheatie way out on this challenge with a pre designed card kit.

These make crafting at the trailer super easy with minimal supplies and I did want to make some cards for some of my favourite back to schoolers.

Here are the cards I made using the Simple Stories You've Got Class card kit:

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

SoSS #253 S is for Summer

Best wishes and warmest regards snarky pals!

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

The season is upon us and we are celebrating all things summer!

One of my favourite thing about this time of year is strawberries, fresh, straight out of the field, still warm from the sun strawberries...mmmmmm....

I used this challenge to do the Berry Sweet class by Laura Graff from Scrapbook.com from the March 2023 crop & create that I hadn't done yet. 

This first one with the basket was my favourite to make

The this black and white background was my next fave:

Then I made this one, which is kinda...meh...maybe too CAS for me (and not centred properly lol)

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

SoSS #252 - L is for Lindsey

 

Best wishes & warmest regards snarky pals!

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

This month we are honouring our beloved Sister Lindsey who passed away in July of 2022. 

It's so difficult to think that we lost her 2 years ago already.

We hope that you will join us in our ode to Lindsey, we want to see something inspired by her, or something that she made. You can check out her crafty creations here on her BLOG.

I made a few graduation cards based on THIS CARD of Lindsey's:

Here are the cards I made, one for an elementary school grad (yay Adrian!!), one for a high school grad (yay Theo!!) and one for Master's grad (yay Srin!!)

As always (and especially for this challenge) we would love for you to join the sisterhood.

Here's what I made using the Dragons & Dreams collection by Becky Moore for PhotoPlay

Thanks for hopping by!!

SoSS #251 - D is for Die Cut

 

Best wishes and warmest regards snarky pals!

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

Break out your old cuttlebug, or platinum six (or in my case both) cuz for this challenge we want to see your die cuts!

I made this card for my father in law's birthday this year using the January 2024 Let's Stamp Together kit from Scrapbook and Cards Today (yep, I am trying to make an effort to use my kits at least once!).

I die cut the envelope, the present,  the letters and the shadow for the letters. I also had a lot of fun stenciling, which I like more than die cutting...but hey it's not a stencil challenge (note for next year's challenge list).

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