SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #249 F is for Fold It (Fancy Fold)

 

Hello and welcome!

It's time again for a new challenge at the 

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This month, we'd like to see your FANCY FOLD creations!

I tried making a shutter card for the first time:

Wow, this was definitely a labor of love. I bought this shutter card die 

set a few years ago from Crafter's Companion, 

and it's the first time using it. Lots of die cutting, coloring, and gluing

later, and this is how it turned out!

I hope that you'll find time this month to play along in our fancy fold

challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! If you need more 

ideas, do yourself a favor and check out what my sisters,

 and our reigning Queen, Fran, have created.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

 Hello and happy Thursday!!

It's been over a month since I've posted anything.

If you're a procrastinator like me, you've

been in 'Christmas card making mode' for at

least a month or two. I'm happy to say all

my cards have been made and sent out.

(insert sigh of relief here)

Now I'm starting to work on building up my

much depleted stash of birthday cards.

Here's one with a bit of snark:

and the inside:

I used the sketch from the current challenge at Sunday Stamps #324

but tipped it on its side. The part about the ship sailing got me

thinking about using paper that had destination stickers all over it.

Remember back in the day when travellers put stickers 

of the places they visited all over their trunks? 

That was the thought process behind picking that paper. LOL!

Ok, that's it for this post. I have more cards to share soon. 😊

Thanks for visiting! I hope you have a great rest of your day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #187 - T is for Texture

 

 

 Hello and welcome snarky peeps!

It's time once again for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight is brought to you by the letter T:

as in TEXTURE!

 I dug out the only 3D embossing folder I own to make

this very pretty, non snarky card:

 

 

 (Yes, Jennifer McGuire had a major influence on this! Thank you!)

I used some teal mirror paper with the EF for the background. The

solid die cut of the butterfly received a thin coating of crackle paste, the 

intricate die cut was cut from black card stock then coated with White

Blizzard Nuvo Glitter Drops, which picked up the teal card

brilliantly IRL! I used a Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker for the sentiment.

I did manage to stamp a sentiment on the inside and added a

snippet of the teal paper to finish it off.

See? Snark isn't mandatory at the Sisterhood,

(but you know we LOVE it!)

I hope that you find some time to play along in our Texture challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! For more inspiration, do check out what

my Sistahs and our reigning Queen, Tristan, have created to wow you!

July Demo Day To Go at Photo Scraps!

Hi all!

Just wanted to let you know that I made a couple card kits for

Demo Day To Go at Photo Scraps!

It happens tomorrow, July 18th, from 10 am to 2 pm.

A little snarky:

 

 and a little sharky:

For the shark card, I've included the extra cut outs, mostly just in case

someone would rather use the light grey instead of the red for 

the inside of the shark's mouth. I've actually used the extra red mouth opening

part to construct my sample. Here's how I put the

pieces together:

Start with the big die cut. This die is great as it marks where all the

pieces will go!

 I used both red pieces on my sample, so that the next layer

will have an even area to add them to. You can skip this if you want.

Also, if you'd rather use that light grey inside mouth piece instead

of the red, this is where you'd add it.

 Next, the teeth. I suggest gluing the bottom teeth first then

the top teeth.

 

 Over that, the light grey piece.

 Glue the eyes and you're done!

You'll notice that on my sample, I've added white dots to the eyes.

This is totally optional. Speaking of the eyes, in the kit, they are

stuck with repositional tape to a bit of copy paper. 

If you happen to lose one or both, just fill in the eyes with

a black marker. Easy peasy!

I hope that you come out tomorrow to Photo Scraps

for Demo Day To Go, or you can order kits by email!

It runs from 10 am to 2 pm. 

 Help support a small business!

 

 Thanks! Have a great day!

JUST US GIRLS! #284 - Trend Week

Good morning crafty peeps! Sue is your hostess this time around for Trend Week at JUST US GIRLS, and she's picked SPLATTERS! How fun is this?!! Here's what I came up with:

 Here's the inside:

I started with white card stock and got out my Hero Arts neon ink cubes. I smooshed ink on my craft mat then spritzed with some water. Stirring it up with a paintbrush, I then spattered the white card stock with color. I repeated the process for all four colors. Once that was dry, I heat embossed the sentiment with white EP onto some black card stock, cut to size and adhered. I wrapped twine around one side, matted it onto black card stock then onto the blue card base. Of course, I felt compelled to add more, so out came the enamel dots. ☺ I trimmed another panel to size, matted it, stamped it, and adhered to the inside to finish my card. I really love the bright colors in this card. Makes me think that Spring is right around the corner!! 

I hope that you get a chance to play along with our splatter challenge at Just Us Girls! Also, please check out the incredible creations that my teammies and our Guest Designer, Jen Mitchell, created. A.Maz.Ing! I'm tellin' ya! Remember, if you are picked as Chic of the Week for any of our March challenges, you'll be in the running to be our Guest Designer for the month of May! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope that you have a great day!
