Greetings and salutations crafty pals!

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

Our theme is B is for Birthday...who doesn't need more birthday cards in their stash??

We have a lot of family birthdays in September / October, so for me this challenge was perfectly timed!

I am getting super good use of my Confetti card making kit by PhotoPlay - this is at least the 20th card I've made with it!

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock base (PhotoPlay)
• Confetti design paper and element stickers (PhotoPlay)
• Color Study washi tape (Vicki Boutin)

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

Shopping Our Stash #382 - Washi Washi Washi

Greetings & salutations crafty friends!!

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

Yours truly is the host this week and our theme is WASHI WASHI WASHI

I don't know about you, but I have sooooooooo much washi tape in my stash and I keep buying more!!! 
I think I like collecting it more than using it!

I saw this super cute digital washi Christmas tree card and thought it would be easy enough to replicate with actual washi tape...and it was!!! 
So much so that I made 27 of them for the Army Cadet craft show fundraiser I participated in this past weekend.
Even the sentiment is washi tape!

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock (Fireworx)
• Washi tape (SU, Dollarama, Recollections)
• Glittery foam star (Recollections)

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

Random Snarky Thursday

I've been having fun playing with washi tape and snarky sentiments.

I made a few cards with a fun stamp set from Graphicat Stamps...sadly, I think they are no longer in business, which is really too bad because I LOVE their snarky stamps!
