SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #280 S is for Snow

 

Hello and welcome crafty friends!

It's time for the next challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

But before I show you what I did, I wanted to let you know in case you

haven't heard, in September we lost our beloved Sister Toni. As with most card makers, 

we never had a chance to meet in person,

 but I loved her wicked sense of humor. She was a true snarky stamper and she will be missed.

 Please keep her family in your hearts and prayers. 💖

This month we are gearing up for the upcoming winter season,

and want to see SNOW on your projects.

Here's my take on it:

This was part of a Create-in-Quads stencil set from Taylored

Expressions, and I used traditional colors for my cards.

I stamped the sentiment, cut it with the coordinating die

and popped it up with foam squares.

I hope that you'll join us this month for our SNOW challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! For more inspiration, please

check out what my sisters and our reigning Queen,

Beverly have created for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks for visiting!

STAMPlorations Holiday tag making challenge!

 

Hello crafty friends and welcome!

We are getting in the holiday spirit at STAMPlorations with a

Holiday tag making challenge!

Starting today thru November 30, hop along on the STAMPlorations 

blog and leave a comment for a chance to win prizes. Also, create a

 holiday themed tag and link up for more chances to win prizes! See all 

the details on the blog. Here is my first project, that's actually two:

I cut two tags from white cardstock and another from patterned paper,

cutting that one in half on an angle and gluing to the white tags.

I used glitter paper and added a thin strip to the tags and also

die cut two dies from the Bloomdala Bliss: Felicity dies to use

as my 'snowflakes'. I stamped sentiments from the 

Yuletide Deer and Perfect Pairs: Classic Christmas stamp sets.

Some twine and silver floss finish my tags.

For my second project, after die cutting a panel from

patterned paper and adhering to the card base, I die cut a tag

from the Curly Labels/Tags Nesting dies, traced around the die,

 fussy cut the mat and glued together. I used a hole punch to

add the hole at the top and tied some twine to it.

I added a couple images from the Autumn Cozy Ephemera package

using foam squares. I stamped a sentiment from the

Gratitude Trees stamp set, die cut it and also glued it down.

Tip: Add a tiny glue dot behind the twine knot to

hold it in place!

Prizes:
