SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #264 H is for Hot Hot Hot! (Summer)

 

Hello and welcome snarky friends!

It's time for this month's challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This month, since most of the country, if not

the world, has recently reached the 7th level of Hades,

we'd like to see your Summer themed projects!

Here's my take:

Once again, I saw a meme online and immediately knew

that I had to use it on my card. LOL!

After I had made my card, I thought it needed some

faux water droplets on the veggies, so I dotted them

with some Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Happy little veggies! 😊

I hope that you'll be able to play along this month

in our summer challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day and stay cool!

Seize the Birthday #308 & Atlantic Hearts #635

 Hi there and welcome!

Here's a card I created combining

a couple challenges:

I started by making a stencil by die cutting the arch from

copy paper. Then I just blended a few colors around the edges.

I die cut the vase and leaves from black cardstock and adhered

to the main panel. All that was left was to stamp

the sentiment.

Another sentiment finishes the inside:

I'm using the current sketch at Atlantic Hearts challenge #635,

and the silhouette challenge at Seize the Birthday #308.

Thanks for visiting! Enjoy your day!

Supplies:

Stamps: Honey Bee Stamps - Birthday Wishes

Ink: Taylored Expressions - Pineapple, Peapod, Cookie Monster; Memento - Tuxedo Black

CS: Neenah; Cardstock Warehouse

Accessories: LDRS Creative - arch die; Honey Bee Stamps - Tropical Bouquets dies; MISTI

Adhesives: Bearly Art glue; Scrapbook Adhesives - tape runner

Addicted to Stamps and More #495

 Hello and welcome friends!

I absolutely LOVE this card that

I'm about to share. It was a major

labor of love because of all

the tiny die cut pieces.

Here, check this out:

I think each flower has 7 parts and the hummingbird

has 11 parts. Even better, I started with white

die cut pieces and blended each one. 

My eyesight is clearly as blurry as my pictures. LOL!

This fits the Addicted to Stamps and More #495 challenge

of die cuts and/or dies, so I'm entering this in their gallery.

Thanks for visiting. I hope that you are staying cool from this

heatwave we are experiencing!

Stamps: Honey Bee Stamps - Inside Birthday & dies, Mini Messages: Birthday

FMS #691 & JUGS #780

Hello and happy Sunday to you all!

I have one more card that I made last week to share.

Combining the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #691 and

the mood board from Just Us Girls #780, 

I came up with this:

I love the contrast of the beach scene and those gorgeous orange

flowers! I don't know what type of flowers they are in the

photo, but they reminded me of poppies, so that's 

what I used. I also liked that the photo is darker in the 

lower left and upper right, so after I stenciled

my waves, I blended those corners on the panel to

mimic it.

Another simple sentiment on the inside finishes my card.

I think what took the most time for this card was trying to mix

the different orange inks I have. I have some from various companies

but no full sets, so maybe I should make swatches. It could happen. LOL!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great rest of your day!

The Color Hues Challenge #112

 Hello and Happy Summer Solstice to you!

Woot Woot! I've made a card every day this week, but I'm

only just now getting around to blogging about them.

This one I made on Wednesday using

colors from The Color Hues Challenge #112,

peach and cobalt:

I've owned this stamp and stencil combo from Taylored

Expressions for a while now, and I honestly can't

remember if I've ever used it before. This

may be the first time. How tragic!

In an effort to make the wings look iridescent, I covered

all of them with glitter glue, 

My eyes are still cross eyed from doing it. LOL!

Another sentiment finishes the inside.

That's all for now. Thanks for visiting. Have

a wonderful weekend!

Stamps: Taylored Expressions - Dragonflies stamp/stencil combo, Sundry Sentiments, The Inside Scoop: Birthday

Atlantic Hearts #634

 Hello and welcome crafty friends!

I've been busy in my craft room making

cards again. It's good to

have Mr. Mojo back in town. 😊

I made this card on Tuesday, but I'm only

getting around to posting about it:

I only just noticed that one of the design team members had the

same idea I did! GMTA! Wouldn't it have been bizarre

if we used the same exact piece of paper?!

Being Pride Month, I wanted to use some fun designer paper

that had rainbow colors in it. On the back side of the paper, I hand

sketched the design but mirrored it, then used scissors to cut

the pieces out. I didn't mind that they were wonky, I'm really

liking that look on this card! A white heat embossed sentiment

and some rhinestones finishes the card front.

Since I'm notorious for sending out birthday cards after

the birthday, I figured I'd own that with this

sentiment on the inside:

This card is based on the current challenge at Atlantic Hearts.

Thank for visiting and happy first day of Summer!

Boot-iful Birthday Wishes

 Hello friends and welcome.

I've been very absent from my blog,

and I will explain that later in this post.

For now, though, I want to share a card

that I finally found the mojo to create:

This die set is actually a Fall themed set, but I wanted to

stretch it and make a more Spring themed card.

I'm not going to lie; it took me 3 days to finish this.

But I'm pleased with the final look.

A simple sentiment on the inside finishes this card:

I am going to enter this at Seize the Birthday #305 - Flowers

and also AAA Birthday #73 - Anything Birthday Goes.

 So, as I've said, it's been a while since I was last here.

If you follow me on Facebook, you'll know

that our beautiful fur baby, Colby, 

crossed the Rainbow Bridge a couple weeks ago,

after his health took a drastic nosedive in April.

He adopted us when he was 11 months old, and

he had just celebrated his 16th(!) birthday in March.

We miss him so very much, there is a huge hole

in my heart, but we rest easy knowing that he

is no longer in pain and in a much better place.

Thank you for visiting. I hope that you have a good rest of your day.
