Check out these new Springtime ATC's at STAMPlorations!

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

I'm thrilled to showcase three new ATC's

(Artist Trading Cards) now available for purchase

at the STAMPlorations store!

Check out these GORGEOUS items:

RETRO FEMME ATC

COLOR ME SPRING ATC

WHIMSICAL HOMES ATC

Sooooo much fabulousness!! Wow!!

I've created three cards using a card from each package:

Card 1:

I started by stamping part of the Blossom Sprays #1 stamp in

opposite corners on the card base. I used one of the dies from the

Crazy double running stitch nesting rectangle dies and another

rectangle die to create a frame out of red cardstock. After matting

the Retro Femme ATC, I glued all in place. I used a sentiment

from my Some Snark stamp set to finish.

Card 2:

After cutting the large panel with the

 Crazy double running stitch nesting rectangle die, I blended

ink using the Delicate Links stencil onto it. The smallest sized die was 

used to matte the Color Me Spring ATC. I stamped a sentiment from the

Fond Expressions stamp set at the bottom.

Card 3:

I first cut the background panel using the Circles All Over Texture Plate.

After adhering the strips of designer paper and the teal cardstock,

I matted and adhered the Whimsical Homes ATC to the left.

I stamped Welcome from the Happy Zen Coffee Cups

stamp set, then added alpha stickers to spell out 'home'.

Starting last week and continuing this week, Shery will be posting

 projects every day that my teammates and I have created featuring

 these new ATC's over on the STAMPlorations blog. 

You won't want to miss it!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #272 C is for Cold

 

Hello and welcome snarky peeps!

It's time for our newest challenge at the 

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

C is for Cold: You could take that literally, or like me

and a few of my sisters, go a bit cold-hearted!

Ok, so besides that awesome sticker sentiment, the only other

thing that's cold on my card is the milk carton. 😄

Here's the finished inside:

I hope that you will join us this month for our Cold challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! For more ideas,

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #271 B is for Black Black Heart

 

Hello and welcome snarky peeps! It's time for

the next challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS,

which is Black Black Heart!

If you are like the Sisterhood, and are soooo over

Valentine's Day, then this is the challenge for you!

We would like to see hearts or black featured on your projects,

Perhaps even something anti-Valentine's! Of course,

you can go the traditional route, but you may be mocked. LOL!

Here's what I came up with:

Once again, I've defiled a perfectly pretty die set with

a snarky sentiment. Digging in my NBUS pile,

I uncovered these tulip/bouquet dies and 

immediately Miley Cyrus' song, Flowers, jumped

into my head. I just printed out the sentiment

and glued it all onto a black card base with a

black postage stamp panel. Easy peasy!

I even unearthed some ancient heart shaped

rhinestones in my stash. Bonus!

Now it's your turn! I hope that you find some time this month

to play along with our Black Black Heart challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! If you're looking for more

Hello and happy New Year!

If you celebrated, I hope that your

holidays were wonderful and relaxing.

For this month, we want to see your NEW or NEVER used stuff

at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

That could be all new crafty goodies, something you already

had but haven't broken the packaging yet, or

perhaps a technique that you've never tried before.

We want to see it!

Here's what I came up with:

I purchased this stamp set last year as well as the paper pad, and only

just now cracked open the packaging on both.

(Yep, I'm starting out the year with a two-finger salute. LOL!)

As usual, an inside sentiment to finish my card:

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

New or Never challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #264 H is for Hot Hot Hot! (Summer)

 

Hello and welcome snarky friends!

It's time for this month's challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This month, since most of the country, if not

the world, has recently reached the 7th level of Hades,

we'd like to see your Summer themed projects!

Here's my take:

Once again, I saw a meme online and immediately knew

that I had to use it on my card. LOL!

After I had made my card, I thought it needed some

faux water droplets on the veggies, so I dotted them

with some Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Happy little veggies! 😊

I hope that you'll be able to play along this month

in our summer challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #260 G is for Green

 

Hello and welcome snarky peeps!

It's a new month and time for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

We'd like to see your predominantly GREEN projects.

With St. Paddy's Day approaching, this is a good time

to get your green on. But, if that's not your style,

anything green is good!

Here's my card:

I've used this image a number of times, and since it's one

of my favorite Stella digi stamps, I'm sure I'll use it again.

She's colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I've

given her wings, wand, and flower center some 

Nuvo Glitter Drops for the sparkle. Her glasses also

received a coat of Nuvo clear Crystal Drops.

I used dark green card stock for the mattes, although

it looks black in the above pics. I tried to angle

the card so you can see the glittery wings and wand.

Even the paper snippet I used came pre-glittered!

I hope that you'll play along this month in our Green challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

For more inspiration, do visit the blogs of my sisters and our 

reigning Queen, Rachel. You won't be disappointed!

Send Wine

 Hello and welcome!

Here's a card that I had a lot of fun making:

A few months ago I received this 'send wine' die from my

snarky sister, Barbara, and put it in a safe place until I was

ready to play with it. Such a safe place that I only rediscovered it

yesterday. Anyone else have that problem?

Anyway, as soon as I found it, I wanted to use it,

and so this card was created.

I used the pink/red theme at Color Hues #103 and what do you know?

They are doing a collaboration with Inkspirational Challenge #334

so I'll add my entry there as well.

Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

CS: Taylored Expressions; Cardstock Warehouse; Neenah

Accessories: Send Wine die gifted by Barbara Godden; Fiskars - corner rounder

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #259 - L is for Love

 

Hello and welcome, snarky friends!

It's a new month, so time for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This month, we'd like to see your Valentine,

or Anti-Valentine projects!

I'm not one to celebrate it, so of course I went with 

the Anti version:

The snark is subtle, but it's there! LOL!

I'm not even quite sure how that paper with the hearts came

to be living in my craft room. I'm guessing that I bought it for the back side,

which is the strip of flower paper under it. LOL!

I printed out the sentiment then added the "SS" with a pen.

I hope that you'll play along this month in our Love challenge

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

There's lots of inspiration from my sisters, so do check 

out what they've created!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
