SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #154 - E is for Evil

Good Saturday Morning to you, snarky peeps!

It's time for the next challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS! 

First off, let's give a major shout out to Sister Lee, our

Graphics Goddess! (If you haven't figured it out,

she superimposed Edna's face over the orange

clown sitting in the Oval Office. LOL!)

 Which brings us to the new challenge theme: E is for Evil.

I already had the perfect sentiment to use, just needed an image.

Behold:

I had so much fun coloring up this image. The wee

she-devil looks like she's already thought up at least

a dozen ways to make your life, er, hell.

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

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! For more incredible 

ideas, do check out what my Sisters, and our newest Queen,

 Rina, have in store for you!

Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #402 - Gone Fishin'

Hello crafty peeps and welcome!

It's the start of a new challenge at

SHOPPING OUR STASH! 

Gone Fishin' is our theme this fortnight. We'd like to see

fish themed or a fish on your projects.

I made a couple punny fish cards:

For my first card, I broke out these creepy-cute fishes and colored them

with Spectrum Noir markers. The background is a gelli print that I made last

year. I simply used a circle stencil that I blended over it. I used my 

computer to print out the sentiment.

Here's the inside:

My Twofer is yet another punny (and perhaps bizarre), card:

Fish-as-Christmas-Ornaments? Sure, why not?

I stamped two different sizes of pine boughs with two colors of distress inks.

Stamped, colored and fussy cut my fish and popped them up with foam

squares. I dug in my Christmas stash and found these ancient mylar light bulb 

stickers. Last, I tied some silver floss around the fish tails, you know,

because they needed to be all festive like. LOL!

Here's the inside of this card:

I hope that you find some time to join in our Fish challenge at

Shopping Our Stash! We look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Needing more ideas? Simply visit the blogs of my teammies, and leave

some love while there. 

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #101 - T is for Technique

Hello hello!

The SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS is back!

The next two weeks are brought to you by the letter T-

as in T for Technique!

We want you to try a technique, any technique. Either one that you love to do,

or perhaps one that you've yet to try. Easy peasy!

For my technique, I tried using a Gelli plate for the first time.

I'm not gonna lie, it won't be the last time.

I had a blast pulling prints! I was lucky to have won a 

starter kit last summer, and never got up the nerve to try it out, until now.

My plate is only 5" x 5", but for now, I'm happy to play with that. I made

12 prints so far, and made a couple cards out of them.

Here's the first one:

 and the inside:

Here's the print I used. 

All the prints. This is the first print.

 the second print:

 the last print. Some I like, some not so much. But I'm still learning.

(sorry for the crappy pictures. I was using my phone camera, and yes,

these are drying on my treadmill. What else do you use a treadmill for?)

I forgot to take a close up of the next print, but here's the second card I made:

I've used a variety of stencils, bubble wrap, and even the cap from a deodorant stick! HA!

Of course, there HAD to be some snark on these babies!

So, now it's your turn to play. Use a favorite technique, or try something new. Just

link up at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers so we can see what you made!

Looking for some inspiration? Simply visit the blogs of my Sisters, and this year's

first Guest Designer, Toni, to see what they came up with!

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

SHOPPING OUR STASH #336 - Out with the Old, In with the New

Hello and welcome crafty friends!

This week's challenge at

SHOPPING OUR STASH

is called Out with the Old, In with the New!

We want you to use something really old from your craft stash and

pair it with something new (or new-ish)

For my card, I've used a new snowman stamp I just got, and also a sentiment

from a stamp set I bought last year, and never used until now!

The paper is dated 2012, and the snowflake bling is from 2009.

 inside:

So what do you have in your stash that's both old and new? Why not

combine it into a card or project and link up with us at Shopping Our Stash? 

We'd love to see your creations! For more ideas, please do check out

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #94 - P is for Pink Halloween

Hello and happy Saturday snarky peeps!

Today starts one of our most favorite challenges at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS:

P is for Pink Halloween!!

We've been doing this challenge for the last 4 years, to acknowledge

both Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

So create anything Halloween themed, but the color 

pink must be the predominant color on it! 

(You can use other colors)

Here's card #1:

 and the inside:

My background was made using Magenta Nuance Powder Dyes in Hot Pink and Grey.

I used a grungy, painty stamp on all corners (NBUS), and had to ink up this 

fabulous skeleton family. (Also NBUS. Look closely at that

little one in the bottom corner! LOL!)

For my second card, my background is made using

Strawberry Cream Glimmer Mist. I die cut that awesome haunted house, colored and die cut 

the Grumpling Kitty. (All NBUS)

 and the inside:

 Look at all the shimmer!!

So now it's your turn to create your pink colored Halloween masterpieces! Be sure

to link up at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers so that we can admire it!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #64 R is for Resist Technique

Hello and welcome snarky peeps! I'm back from vacation and perhaps now I'll be able to catch up on commenting. (wink wink) As Edna is showing us in the awesome graphic above, our new challenge at the Sisterhood is to use the Resist Technique on your card or project. There are a boat load of video tutorials out there on Mr. Google, so if you haven't tried this before, never fear, just Google it! LOL!
Here's my card:

and the inside:

No snark on this card. It's all warm and toasty feely. I heat embossed the pine bough in white EP, then sponged Pine Needles DI over it, making it darker around the image. Then I smooshed Iced Spruce DI on my craft mat, spritzed with water, and flicked that on the panel with a paint brush. 

Now it's your turn to try out the resist technique! We'd love to see what you come up with. Just link up at the Sisterhood so we can admire it! Need more inspiration? Then please visit the blogs of my Sistahs and our Guest Designer, Helen, and be sure to leave them some bloggy lovin! Thanks for hanging out!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #183 - Happy NEW Year!

Happy New Year crafty peeps! Ready for a new year of fun challenges? Of course you are! For this week's challenge at SHOPPING OUR STASH we want you to use something NEW! (Or, at least, new to you! ☺) Here's what I made:

 and the inside:

My 'new to me' items are the fir tree stamps by Rubber Dance stamps. I purchased this set recently, but haven't until now inked them up. It was time. ☺ This card was fun to make. I used four of the fir stamps and two sizes of pine cones, a few different green inks and was done. Well, almost. It still needed something, so I went over all the needles and pine cones with diamond Stickles.

Ooooh! Shiny!!

So, did you get any new crafty schtuff for Chistmas? Have a stamp set that hasn't been opened yet? It's time to use them! Be sure to link up at Shopping Our Stash - we want to see it! Please also check out what my teammates created while there and leave them some bloggy love! Have a wonderful day!
