A musical birthday card

 Hello and happy Friday to you!

I'm back with another birthday card.

Earlier this year I made at least 5 panels

using this technique by Gina K. This is the

last panel to be used.

I cut the guitar from red cardstock and used a black marker

to color the neck, bridge and bolts. The pickguard was cut

from black cardstock with a shimmer to it.

The sentiment was white heat embossed onto black cardstock.

And now I have a dude card for my stash!

AAA Birthday challenge #79 is a music themed challenge, so

I am entering this card there.

That's it for now. Thank you so much for visiting.

I hope that you have a great rest of your day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #266 F is for Finally Fall

 

Hello and welcome snarky peeps!

Isn't this graphic by Sister Lee absolutely amazing?!!!

It's time for another fun challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This month, we'd like to see your Fall themed projects!

Here's what I came up with:

No snark this time, but I did add a punny sentiment. 😁

I tried that technique that I keep seeing on Simon Says Stamp,

where you blend color on the debossed side of cardstock embossed

with an embossing folder, then swipe a black ink pad over the whole

panel to fill in the background.

This is what it looked like before swiping the black ink pad over it:

That adorable mouse was hard to see with the busy background,

so I used a strip of the same green cardstock as my card base,

and embossed it (debossed?), lining it up with the colored panel

to keep the design flowing. Make sense?

Another sentiment finishes the inside:

I hope that you find some time this month to play along in

our Fall challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

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

reigning Queen, Michelle, have created!

Hiking through the snow

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

Today I'd like to share a winter

themed birthday card:

As usual, this is a mixture of old and new products. The new products are

the boot dies. Also, the grass die cuts were a gift from my friend, Jules,

who was just in town, so we were able to meet and catch up.

I love it when crafty friends can actually meet face to face! 😊

Here's the inside:

There are a few challenges I'd like to enter this at. First is the current

sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. Second, Just Us Girls has a die cut challenge.

Lastly, AAA Birthday calls for a winter themed birthday card.

We are supposedly getting some snow within the next hour. It's a rare

occurrence where I live, so I'm kind of excited to see it.

(I just don't want so much of it I have to shovel! LOL!)

Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a great day!

Fall foliage birthday

 Hello and happy Tuesday to you!

Here's a card that I made using a fun embossing

folder technique by Gina K.

I made one panel, and I loved how it came out,

so I made four more. This is the 4th panel

finally being used:

I didn't want to cover up this gorgeous panel, so

I triple die cut the happy birthday sentiment,

stacked and glued together, then went over the top

with glitter glue for some sparkle.

A simple sentiment finishes the inside:

We've been having a lovely stretch of cooler weather here

in North Carolina, so I think I'm going to go enjoy it!

Thanks for visiting!

Snowy Yappy Birthday

 Hiya! I'm back with another post today!

A two-for!

And the inside:
 

 

 

I used a much loved embossing folder, Darice Snowflake Background, on some

blue card stock then lightly sanded the design to make them show up more.

Then added some Nuvo white blizzard glitter drops in the centers of them 

for some sparkle. While that dried, I stamped, colored and die cut that

absolutely adorable wee doggy (NBUS!). Stamped the sentiment and once everything

was dried, assembled my scene.

Ok, I'm done for real. Thanks for visiting, and I hope

that you have a relaxing evening.

(For an alphabet challenge, X is getting harder to figure out, so we have to get creative. LOL!)

Hello and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

It's my all time favorite holiday. And you would think that I'd have

made a Halloween card for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS,

but alas, no. We want to see what you create using

faux...whatever! LOL! This is what I came up with:

My faux item? It's the faux tin tile I created using this tutorial.

 I may have made a couple...

This card may look elegant, but you know me,

can't resist a bit of snark:

For more fabulous faux creations, do yourself a favor and check out

what my Sistahs and our returning Queen Beverly have created for

your viewing pleasure. 

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

Man of the Moment

 Hello and welcome crafty friends! I've been up in the ol' craft room

creating some cards, and here is one of them:

 

 

...and the inside:

 

 

I used some metallic gold paper to emboss the back panel, using the

 

Brick Wall EF by Darice. I found this funny sentiment 

 

to cut out from the sheet and the fish DP from 

 

the same collection. Ooh! Shiny!

A snarky stamped sentiment on the inside and this card was done!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope that you have a great day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #170 - C is for Chalkboard

 

 

 

Hello and welcome snarky peeps!

There's a new challenge starting at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS! 

C is for Chalkboard!

Some of the Sisters went with the chalkboard technique, some

made their cards look like a chalkboard sign, others 

were very creative in interpreting this challenge.

I did a bit of both the chalkboard technique and created

my card to look like a sign:

 

Barely no effort went into the making of this card. LOL!

The sign I recreated from this inspiration pic:

 

The sentiment is from a magnet I have on my fridge. LOL!

 I hope that you find some time this fortnight to play along

in our Chalkboard challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

For more ideas, do check out what my Sistahs, and our newest

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