SoSS #238 - U is for Upcycle

Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers as we bring you U IS FOR UPCYCLE.

We want to see what you can reuse, repurpose or upcycle on your project.

I upcycled a library card from my crafty pal MIMI, used a piece of amazon bubble packaging and watercolour markers to make the coloured pattern on the library card and a (yep I did) toilet paper roll in black ink to create the pattern on top of the bubble wrap.

If you look super close, you can kind of see the toilet paper roll in the bottom left of the picture and the card is sitting on the bubble wrap.

The snarky sentiment was sent to my in the most awesome gifty package from my crafty pal DEENA

SoSS #197 - is for Rude

 

Greetings and salutation snarky friends!

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

This challenge could also be the Donna challenge, I have been called this (and much worse) many a time.

Me....rude....really??? Pfffffffffffffffftttttttttttttttt, I have a toque that says I am an effing delight (see below) so I don't know what these people are on about....read the toque people, read the toque!!!  

Super cheers to my cool pal Char at Mulberry Street Craft Co. for making me this incredibly accurate toque! She really makes the coolest stuff!!!

OK back to the challenge...R is for Rude...

I had a lot of fun making this one. 

I think paper piecing might be my crafty jam.

I started with the coffee mug image, then did the background burlap overtop, then paper pieced the coffee inside the mug, the mug, the handle and the rim of the mug all separately...drew the border...added the rude sentiment and voila!

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Black Soot, Ground Espresso and Twisted Citron distress inks (Tim Holtz)
• Fresh Brewed Blueprint stamp set (Tim Holtz)
• Bit of Burlap background stamp (Market Street Stamps)
