SHOPPING OUR STASH #365 - Shaker Cards

Hello and welcome, crafty friends!

This weeks challenge at SHOPPING OUR STASH is to

make a shaker card!

For my card, I used a long neglected die and some ancient dimensional stickers:

Here's the inside, using some more stickers:

Yay! Another Christmas card done! Of course, you can make

Hello and welcome snarky peeps!

It's time for another challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

Let's see your Over The Hill projects!

Here's my card:

and the inside:

The skeleton was stenciled onto my card panel, then I stamped

the sentiment. This started out as white card stock, but I

aged and grunged it up using some Distress Inks and a texture stamp.

Ready to play along? Of course you are! Just create something

relating to Over the Hill, and link up at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers

Hello crafty peeps!

I needed a male birthday card to send, and of course, didn't have

any readily made.

So, this happened:

and the inside:

 

This came together relatively quickly. (Heh, see what I just did there?)

I die cut the stitched frame twice, from navy and white card stock, then stamped

Einstein on the white circle center. The sentiment was stamped, trimmed to size then

a navy mat added. Before adhering, I stamped the texture stamp repeatedly on the card base

in grey ink, stamping off once for a more subtle image. The inside sentiment was

stamped, then I used the texture stamp over it to tie in with the front.

That's it for now.

We are having another gorgeous, sunny day today, and I

want to go out and enjoy it!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #109 - E is for Engineering

Hello and welcome back snarky peeps!

It's time again for one of our favorite challenges at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS: 

E is for Engineering! 

(otherwise known as our STEAMPUNK CHALLENGE!)

I made not one, but 4 Steampunk Halloween cards: 

 

It's pretty easy to make multiple cards if you use designer paper that mostly 

does all the work for you. (Like this paper from Graphic 45)

Here are the individual cards:

They all look the same on the inside:

 

I could have made these a lot quicker by using the people cut outs as they were printed, but I wanted 

to pop them up for some dimension. That meant I fussy cut them out, die cut the beige panels (sponging vintage photo DI on them then stamping a grungy stamp for more interest. You can

see this better on the inside panel), and die cutting the smaller panel and rounding out the corners.

Yeah, could have made this easier, but why would I do that?! LOL!

I cut 4 panels from black card and used a couple embossing folders (cogs and pocket watches), and

even used some Halloween sticker sentiments (I sponged over them also with the vintage photo DI)

I hope you find some time to join in on our Engineering (Steampunk) challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! You know we love to see what fabulous creations you

come up with. For more inspiration, do check out what my Sisters created along with our

newest Guest Designer, Sharon, and leave some bloggy lovin!
