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.

You can find all of 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 and warmest regards...

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:
