SoSS #271 - Black Black Heart

 

Greetings and salutations snarky friends.

The season of love is upon us.

Edna, as you can see, is thrilled by this prospect.

Much like Edna, I myself have never been much of a lovey dovey kinda gal.

Love is really best expressed through sarcasm and snark no??

I knew exactly the stamp set I wanted to use for this one, a la our Sister Chris and her "Some Snark" sentiments.

I also wanted to use one of my new TWC stencils (layered rose banner) cuz roses are dead romantic no??

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 for our reigning Queen of Snark and the rest of the sisterhood.

Until next time...

SoSS #270 - N is for New or Never

 

Greetings, salutations & happy new year snarky friends!

Hope the holiday season was kind to you and yours and that 2026 brings all the good.

Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers are back with our first challenge of 2026.

Did you get some new crafty things for Christmas? 

Do you have loads of stuff in your craft room that you've never used?

Here's your chance to show it off!

We want to see something new, new to you or never been used on your project.

My crafty resolution for 2026 is to break out some of the many many many things I have in my craft room that I have never used.

For this challenge I went back to a class by Simon Hurley that was part of the March 2023 Crop & Create that for some reason I have not done until now. For my project I used the stencils, masks and stamps from that class.

These colours are pretty far out of my comfort zone but I loved the stenciling and masking to get the layered effect. The sentiments are from a Strawberry Jude Stamps set that were gifted to the Sisterhood a number of years ago.

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.

SoSS #269 - C is for Cheeky Christmas

 

Greetings and holiday salutations crafty friends!

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

It's the most wonderful time of the year! 

Time for our snarky holiday challenge. 

I look forward to this one every year as my snarky sisters always come up with some doozies!

Mine is pretty tame, but very much reflects my "meh" Christmas spirit this year.

That and I do love Taylored Expressions grumplings!

As always, we would love for you to show us your cheeky Christmas spirit by joining the sisterhood to 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.

However, whatever and with whomever you celebrate this holiday season, we hope you wrap up the year in festive happiness. We will see you again in early 2026 for our next SoSS challenge.

Shopping Our Stash #560 - A Few of My Favourite Things

 

Greetings and salutations crafty friends!

I am trying to make the most of my days off this week, including getting a start on my holiday cards and participating in a few challenges.

I made a few Santa cards specifically for the A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS challenge at SHOPPING OUR STASH.

A few of my favourite things on this card are:

• shaped cards
• stenciling
• distress oxide inks
• Christmas
• SCT Let's Stamp Together kits (this one is from 2024 and this is the first time I've used it!)

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #104 - Just Add Antlers

 

Greetings and salutations crafty friends!

I was super excited to see the "Just Add Antlers" challenge theme over at Christmas Kickstart Challenge.

Some time ago, my lovely crafty Sistah Chris had gifted me some super cute moose die cuts (Poppystamps). 

I have some free time this week, so I grabbed some distress oxide inks, blending brushes and stencils and made 3 cards (2 without snowflakes as I decided after that the moose popped {not pooped}) better without the snowflakes.

When hubby and I were in Newfoundland in September, we saw these 2 (antlerless and sadly sweaterless) moose. They were so close to the car we could hear them chewing, and mama moose was keeping a keen eye to make sure we didn't get to close...meh, it was a rental car.

OK so here are the cards I made:

With or without snowflakes??

Maybe if I had done the stripes in brown and the snowflakes in blue - next time...

Now I gotta figure out where locally I can get my hands on those dies, I mean really a moose in a holiday sweater...come on now!
