SoSS #275 - R is for Rainbow

Greetings and salutations snarky pals.

Glad you stopped by to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

This month we are celebrating all things rainbow and PRIDE and we hope that you will join the parade, be a good ally (every month not just in June), be your best authentic self and fly your flag,

whatever that flag may be.

I haven't crafted in a few months, but we are getting settled in our new house and slowly slowly slowly the craft room is coming back together.

For this challenge I went back to Crop & Create from March 2023 and the super cute "My Rainbow" set by Lawn Fawn.

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

You can find all the challenge details on the SoSS BLOG. While you are there, please share some crafty love and comments with the rest of the sisterhood.

SoSS #273 - H is for Happy Birthday

Greetings and salutations snarky pals!

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

Edna is inviting you to the party as we celebrate H is for Happy Birthday.

I always struggle to make masculine birthday cards, so I pulled out my very favourite birthday stamp sets by LRDS Creative from the March 2023 Crop & Create, a few Tim Holtz stencils and some distress inks to make this card for a special someone who celebrated their 40th birthday this year.

As always, we hope you will come to the party and show us your birthday projects.

SoSS #272 - C is for Cold

Greetings & salutations snaky friends!

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

Poor Edna looks a wee chilly out there without her coat and boots and toque - she is a tough old bird!

We made it through January and February - the clocks spring forward this weekend - can we hope that sunshine and warmer weather are not too far behind?

Is there anything better on a cold day than a warm bevvy??

Not for me....while it's true that I am a year round tea granny, in the cooler months I am also known to enjoy a chai latte (I know still tea) or hot chocolate with a splash of coffee and cream.

I was inspired for this challenge by the November 2025 SCT Let's Stamp Together kit by Spellbinders.

How freaking cute are those mugs and little marshmallows???

Yes November kit, I know it's March...I didn't have time to do the class until a few weeks ago...

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

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.

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!

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.

You can find all the details for the challenge on the SoSS Blog.

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.

SoS #250 - O is for Outdoors

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.

Edna looks like she is pursing her serenity in a beautiful setting and she would love for you to join her and show us your favourite outdoors stuff!

I did a bit of a cheatie for this one and used the March 2024 Let's Stamp Together kit from Scrapbook and Cards Today which featured some super cute stamps, dies and stencil by Taylored Expressions. I hadn't done the class yet, and thought the adorable wee bees would be prefect for this challenge.

The kraft card is a pretty close follow of the class sample, then I decided I didn't really adore the black spatters and made one without them and on a white card base, only to decide I liked the first one better lol.

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

SoSS #249 - F is for Fold It

Best wishes and warmest regards snarky pals!!

Edna and the sisterhood of snarky stampers are back with another fun challenge, we want to see your fancy folds, just like see Edna's hat!!

I made an easel card from the March 2023 Crop & Create. I had made this card once before, but thought it would be a great one for this challenge as well.

I do love me an easel card and the die cut from Brutus Monroe makes this fold super easy and I love love love the edge vine die!

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

SoSS #246 - N is for New

Greetings, salutations and happy new year!!

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

In 2024 we are celebrating our 10th anniversary - can you believe that??? 10 awesome years of snarkiness! We hope that you will join us in our celebrations.

We are switching things up a little this year and will be hosting 1 challenge each month instead of 2, we hope that will give you more time to play along!

Our first challenge for the year is N is for New, that means we want to see something new (maybe something you got for Christmas??) or something you haven't used before on your project.

I was lucky enough to receive an amazing #RAK (random act of kindness) from Sister Deena just before the holidays...which worked out perfectly for this challenge!

The background stamp and hand / finger die were in that #RAK package and the sentiment is from a package she had sent me previously (crafty friends are the BEST am I right???).

Shite I used to make this card:

White & black cardstock (Recollections)
Happy Crafting design paper (Echo Park - September 2023 SCT Sampler)
Roadies Background Vol 1 Salty stamp (Ink Road Stamps, #RAK from Sister Deena)
Scallop Rectangle die (Lawn Fawn)
Helping Hand die (HoneyBee Stamps, #RAK from Sister Deena)
Foil Ready Basic Cheeky Sentiments (Rebellious, Ink Road Stamps, #RAK from Sister Deena)
Paper piercer & mat (SU)
Fine tip Sharpie
Peach cardstock (Concord & 9th)
Bling (Dollarama)

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

ATC Around the World #108 - Winter Wonderland

Well 2023, you've been a year!

Maybe I should have guessed that you'd have one more surprise in store for me in the last few days of the year...ta da....another round of COVID for this girl

Bleh

So while I am hanging out by myself in my craft room, thought I would get a head start on my 2024 crafty goal of using some design paper and collections in my stash and made a few ATCs for the latest challenge over at ATC Around the World - Winter Wonderland.

I used the Holly Jolly collection from Simple Stories and some bling and paper (sentiment cut outs) from a SCT sampler (ya I have to use those too!)

I was inspired by my crafty pal Helen's ATC and attempted to draw my own freehand borders...not the worst thing I have ever seen LOL

Christmas Kickstart Challenge & SoSS

Greetings all!

While Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers are on a bit of a break, our pal and sister Jo has invited us to play along for the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #80 - It's Christmas Jim, but not as we know it.

We want to see something non traditional on your project (including perhaps a Star Trek reference???).

I went the non traditional colour route with a blue, pink and purple card using a super cute Let's Stamp Together kit from November 2022 from Scrapbook and Cards today and LDRS creative.

The ornament is 3 separate layering stamps (super cool right??)
