Demo Day to Go at Photo Scraps!

 

Hi all! Just wanted to pop in to let you know that I will have two

card kits available for purchase tomorrow at Photo Scraps in

Eldersburg, Maryland!

Here are the cards I've made:

The brick layer uses a stencil from My Favorite Things, along

with the showstopper mug of beer. I've used a

DecoArt Snow Writer to create the foam. So fun!

That background paper is custom paper by Tracy. She has created

some amazing papers for sale in the store. Go see for yourself!

Everything is stamped, ink blended, and cut to size. All you

have to do is assemble yourself using your 

choice of adhesives.

This is a very versatile card. You can use it for a birthday,

congratulations, Father's Day. It's all up to you!

Here's my second card:

Just look at that bear! So adorable!

You can color the image however you like, but these are

the Spectrum Noir markers I've used for this card:

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #212 - T is for Tags

 Welcome snarky peeps and happy Saturday to you!

It's time for the new challenge at the 

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS

to start, and this fortnight it's T for TAGS!

Here's my take on it:

Looking for a person image to use, I rediscovered this stamp set from

Totally Stampalicious, back when Bugaboo stamps were made in

rubber and not digital form. I used a STAMPlorations luggage tag, and the

sentiment is from my Hot Mess stamp set.

I hope that you'll join us at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers in our

tag challenge! We'd love to see what you come up with. Need more ideas?

Simply visit the blogs of my Sistahs and leave some love while there!

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in...June?

 Hey all, I'm back with my second post today.

I'll make this quick since one of the challenges I want to

join in on is about to end. ;)

Here's a guy card using a new to me technique:

Here's the inside:

The technique is called Triple Time Stamping. First time I've tried this,

and I plan to make more cards using it. I've followed the tutorial 

from this video, just making slight adjustments to the layer dimensions to 

fit my card. I also made it much easier by using one big stamp. Another

bonus was that I already had the sentiment strip embossed and

ready to use. Yay me! 

Got to go enter this now before time's up.

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!

Riding by to wish you a Happy Birthday

 Hello and welcome!

My blog has been somewhat silent last month, other than

for scheduled design team posts. May is a busy month

for us. Plus we just got back from our beach vacation,

(I want to go back!!!)  It's actually hotter here now

than it was last week on the beach in NC. Go figure.

Anyhoo, I took a break yesterday from the 'after vacation things to do'

and made a couple cards. Here's the first one:

Here's the inside:

I started with the card base and blended teal ink using the Clustered Hearts stencil.

The bicycle image was stamped and then I did a bit of masking for the basket, 

using a planter pot from the Succulently stamp set. Once everything was

colored and adhered, I added some ancient tiny flower stickers to the basket, 

and a few enamel dots to finish.

I love the fun, summery vibe of this card. :)

That's all for now. Have more laundry to wash.

Geesh, if there's one thing that infinite, it's laundry! LOL!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #211 - W is for Wicked

 

Hello and welcome back, snarky peeps!

It's time again for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight, we want to see your WICKED projects!

Here's what I made:

...and the inside:

This is a digital image I printed out well over a year ago,

and I've only now colored her up. All the snark is on

the inside, which I printed out on my computer.

As much as I love how she came out, in hindsight, I wish I would

have stenciled some clouds in the background. Next time

I color her, I'll do that. Found some ancient but cute bat stickers 

to add to the scene. 

Now it's your turn to join the Sisterhood in our Wicked challenge!

For more ideas, do check out what my teammates, and our

reigning Queen, Fran, have created for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope that you have a great day!

A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge #9 - Flowers

 Hello and welcome back!

Today is the start of the May challenge at

A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge!

This month's prompt is FLOWERS!

ATC cards or coins are welcome.

Here's what I came up with:

(This post contains affiliate links, at no additional cost to you!)

Here are some close ups:

These were pretty easy to put together. My ATC bases are from

the Mixed Media Spring ATC Ephemera pack.

I die cut a bunch of flowers from white card stock using

the trendy spring blooms dies. Once I had them glued down,

I grabbed some scrap card stock and adhered sentiments

from the Shine Bright clear stickers, trimmed and adhered

with foam squares. I added some enamel dots to

finish my ATCs.

I hope that you'll join us this month for our flower

challenge at A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge! For more inspiration,

do check out what my teammates created to WOW you!

Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

Supplies:

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #210 - F is for F Words

 

Hello snarky peeps and welcome!

It's time for one of our favorite challenges

at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS:

F is for F Words!

Felines, fire, fabric, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Me? You guessed it. I went for my favorite cuss word:

You've been warned.

Yes, I do realize that only after I stamped all those words, that

I probably should have placed them lower on the panel so

that they'd look like they were coming out of her mouth

instead of her forehead. LOL!

Even though the lady stamp is called Banksy Wall Singer, to me she sort of

looks like Frida Kahlo screaming, so I'm adding that to my F list!

I hope that you'll join us for our F Word challenge this fortnight at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! Go ahead and let your

freak flag fly! As always, snark is never mandatory to play along.

(But you know we love it!) Need more inspiration? Simply check

out what my Sisters have created for your viewing pleasure!
