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.

SoSS #256 - C is for Critters

 

Greetings and salutations snarky friends!

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

In this challenge we are celebrating all the critters and hope that you will play along.

I went with a  "mythical critters" birthday theme using the "celebrate" triple slim layering stencil and "mythical grumplings" stamp and die set from Taylored Expressions.

Not sure I am super digging the colours that I picked, but meh - it is what it is - yellow is totally outside of my wheehouse lol.

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

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

While you are there please share some crafty love and comments with our reigning Queen of Snark and my snarky sisters.

Until next time, best wishes and warmest regards...

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.

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

Looks like Edna perfected her tie dying skills at summer camp...and now she'd like you to show us YOUR vivid creations!

I totally took the easy way out on this one and used a "Done For You" alcohol ink sheet from Taylored Expressions.

I am having one of those no mojo times, so this worked super well for the challenge and hey, it does have vivid colours!

The image is from a stamp set I picked up at Scrapfest in Kitchener this past April and then of course, a snarky sentiment (is it snarky if it's the truth???)

Shite I used to make this card:

• White and black cardstock (Recollections)
• Done For You Alcohol Ink Series 2 sheet (Taylored Expressions)
• A Little Snarky stamp set (Sweet'n Sassy Stamps)
• Nocturne ink (Tsukineko)
• Small Talk Snarky sentiment sticker (Tim Holtz)

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

SoSS & Christmas Kickstart Crossover

Greetings and salutations crafty friends!

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

Did you know that our very own SISTER JO has her very own Christmas Challenge Blog??

It's called Christmas Kickstart Challenge, and she has invited the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers to be her helper elves for challenge #68 - Trees Trees Trees

One can never ever ever have too many Christmas cards in ones stash, so I took the opportunity of this challenge to try out my new Create in Quads "Peaceful Pines" stencil set from Taylored Expressions to make 4 card fronts.

As glitter opposed as I am, I even used some stickles on the last layer of stenciling to create faux snow.

Shite I used to make these cards:

• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Peaceful Pines Create in Quads stencil set (Taylored Expressions)
• Weathered Wood, Hickory Smoke and Black Soot distress oxide inks (Tim Holtz)

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.

SoSS #216 - O is for Old

Greetings & salutations snarky pals.

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

We are celebrating all things OLD (people or stuff).

Edna looks like she has found a super cool vintage junk shop...I want to join her there!!

I went with old people and a snarky sentiment from my man Tim Holtz.

I practiced my layered stenciling with this super cool "create in quads" stencils that were part of the March Crop & Create card making event. 

The more I use those blending brushes (thanks Michelle!!!) the more I like stenciling and blending.

With the quad stencils you create 4 different card fronts at once...how awesome is THAT??

The sentiment sticker is covering a wee spot where I tore the stenciled layer....meh...LOL...that's probably (maybe) where I would have put the sentiment anyway.

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Create in Quads - Hexagon Layering Stencil (Taylored Expressions)
• Peacock Feathers, Fossilized Amber and Mowed Lawn distress inks (Tim Holtz)
• Watering Can archival ink (Ranger)
• Blending brushes
• Snarky Big Talk sentiment (Tim Holtz)

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

SoSS #173 - P is for Penguin

 

Greetings & salutations snarky friends!

Thanks for stopping by today to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the sisterhood of snarky stampers!

We are working our way through the alphabet (in no particular order) as we crawl towards the end of the year...this time around P is for Penguin.

I think I only have one penguin stamp...so it was easy for me to decide what to use...LOL

Why do I only have one penguin stamp? I like penguins...and of course the only penguin stamp I have is kinda, well, cranky?

My sisters will be so impressed!! I actually coloured something, well kinda, I used a water brush and distress inks to colour in the penguin and give him a wee patch of ice to stand on (that's what that blue bit is supposed to be).

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Christmas paper pack (Recollections)
• Holiday Grumplings stamp set (Taylored Expressions)
• Black Soot, Mustard Seed, Barn Door, Mermaid Lagoon, Spiced Marmalade and Twisted Citron distress inks (Tim Holtz)
• 1 3/4" circle punch (SU)
• Tag Collection die (Tim Holtz)

• Fine tip Sharpie
• Ruler
