SHOPPING OUR STASH #432 - Hot Beverages for Cold Nights

 

Hello crafty peeps and welcome!

It's time for another challenge at 

SHOPPING OUR STASH!

This fortnight, as the title suggests, we are looking for projects 

that feature a hot beverage.

Here's what I came up with:

 

 

 

These coffee mugs were fun, and very therapeutic to color. No

shading, just coloring to color. (My inner child had fun!)

I used a stencil to emboss the aqua panel. I think that's the first time

I tried that out, and I like it. I'll be using that technique more. 

We hope that you'll play along in our Hot Beverages challenge

at Shopping Our Stash. For more inspiration, do yourself a favor

and check out what my teammies created. So much crafty goodness!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #429 - Make A Mess

Hello and welcome crafty friends!

This fortnight at SHOPPING OUR STASH,

we want you to get messy!

Think glitter, powder inks, paint, etc.

I broke out my sadly neglected gel press, some paints and

stencils and made some prints. I quartered one of them to

create four cards!

Here are some close ups:

SHOPPING OUR STASH #401 - Base it off a Book

Hello crafty friends and welcome!

We have a fun new challenge at

SHOPPING OUR STASH this fortnight:

Base it off a Book!

For my card, I chose The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

by L. Frank Baum:

and the inside:

I love it when the designer paper you pick does all the work for you!

All I did was some fussy cutting, and then added red glitter embossing powder to 

Dorothy's shoes. They really do sparkle in real life. ☺

I always loved this book, and the friendship between the four main characters,

 so I stamped the simple message for the inside sentiment.

Now it's your turn! We hope that you find some time to play along

in our Based off a Book challenge at Shopping Our Stash! Looking for

more ideas? Simply check out what my teammates created for

your viewing pleasure. Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

Supplies:

Stamps: Studio G alphas

Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black

DP: Graphic 45 - The Magic of Oz

CS: Taylored Expressions - Darice

Accessories: Versamarker; Whispers - Red Glitter EP; heat gun

Adhesives: SA by 3L - tape runner, 3D & thin 3D foam squares

SHOPPING OUR STASH #391 - Best Friends Day

Hello and welcome crafty friends!

This fortnight at SHOPPING OUR STASH we are

celebrating our best friends!

I really shopped my stash, and uncovered this stamp set

that had never seen ink! It's got to be at least 7 years old.

(***cough hoarder cough***)

Here's my take:

She is so cute! And bonus, that sentiment came with the set. I had that bit

of butterfly paper left so I based my coloring from it, using Spectrum Noir

markers. She's fussy cut and popped up on foam squares, as is the sentiment.

It's hard to see in this photo, but the barrette, beads, belt, bow and shoes have all been 

winked by Stella. A few rhinestones and done!

I hope that you find some time to play along in our Best Friends challenge

at Shopping Our Stash! We'd love to see your projects.

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

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #44 - B is for BOOBS!

(Look at Edna's Ta-Ta's! Who Knew!!!)

That's right crafty peeps, this fortnight at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS. we are celebrating National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so of course we had to do a challenge that focuses on boobs! I actually had no clue what to make until the other day, and only after stalking Pinterest for ideas. (Pinterest saves the day, yet again!) I found this template and wound up having a lot of fun putting my card together. Ok. Enough blathering. On to my card:

Here's the inside:

I did give my card some implants, as I thought the bra should be filled out more. *snicker* The lace started out white, but after I swirled it in a Dixie cup that had some drops of black re-inker added in, wah-la: black lace! I even found a bag of those tiny roses, hidden in a long neglected shoe-box-o-embellies! The inside sentiment, while not snarky, is a bit punny. And that's just fine by me. ☺

So, ready to make a boob themed card or project? Do you even need a reason to?! Just make sure you link up at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, because you know we want to see it! Please be sure to stop by the blogs of my Sistahs in Snark, and our newest Guest Designer, Emily Leiphart, and leave them some love! Thanks for stopping by, now go get your craft on!
