SoSS #221 - H is for Halloween

Greetings and salutations crafty friends!

Hope all is well and safe and cozy in your corner of the world!

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 and we are celebrating all things spooky and Halloween!!

Looks like Edna may have played one too many tricks, and she may end up as a treat for the spiders!!!

Poor Edna!

I won't tell you exactly how many Halloween cards I make every year, sometimes more than Christmas cards...the set of mini slimline cards I made for this challenge will have gone out in the mail already to some of my most favourite ghosts and ghouls and I **may** have made at least duplicates of all of these cards.

Told you I liked making Halloween cards!

Shite I used to make these cards:

• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Gnome for the Holidays - Halloween (PhotoPlay)
• Orange and purple bling (Dollarama)

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 #220 - P is for PINK!

Greetings and salutations snarky friends!

Hope all is well and safe in your corner of the world.

Edna and the sisterhood of snarky stampers are back with a new challenge and we'd love for you to play along.

There's no in between on this one, you either love it or hate it, we bring you...P is for PINK!

I love it, but really don't use pink much in crafting...not sure why, I like it when I do.

A few weekends ago I participated in the Crop & Create Delivered cardmaking event with Scrapbook and Cards Today. 

THREE FULL DAYS OF CLASSES AND CRAFY AWESOMENESS FRIENDS!!

THREE FULL DAYS!!!!

It's amazing and exhausting all at once!

One of the awesome products we received was the Triple Slim Falling for You Stencil and Stamp set from Taylored Expressions.

Can I just tell you how in love I am right now with stenciling? Especially the Triple Slim and Create in Quads stencils, you create three or four cards at a time! The three cards below were all stenciled at the same time! Love love love!!!

And of course I used my favourite snarky stamp sets from our very own SISTER CHRIS.

Shite I used to make these cards:

• Pink cardstock (Recollections)
• White cardstock (gift from my friend Judy)
• Triple Slim - Falling for You Stencil and Stamp sets (Taylored Expressions)
• Some Snark and Hot Mess stamp sets (Chris Dring Designs)
• Honeysuckle and Oceanside inks (Corcord & 9th)
• Dusty Concord, Frayed Burlap and Ground Espresso distress inks (Tim Holtz)
• Blending brushes
• Fishtail and Banner die set (Your Next Stamp)

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

Shopping Our Stash #430 - On Trend - Slimline

Greetings and salutations crafty friends!

Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from the crew at SHOPPING OUR STASH.

Seems like everyone is making slimline cards recently - there are even dies and stencils specifically designed for them.

So we are jumping on the bandwagon and making slimline cards for this challenge.

Meh - I could take or leave them (ya it was me that picked the challenge theme LOL).
I don't really like making this size of card, maybe it's the cheapness in me that thinks this is a colossal waste of paper for the sake of fitting a card in a cheaper envelope...I don't get it...anywho...it was my bright idea...so I made one...here it is:

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Oh Happy Day design paper (Simple Stories)
• Oh Happy Day Bits and Pieces (Simple Stories)
• Scalloped border punch (Fiskars)
• Foam dots (Dollar Tree)

As always, we would love for you to join our crew and play along.

You can find all the details for the challenge on the SHOPPING OUR STASH BLOG.
