SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #240 A is for ATC

 

Hello snarky peeps and welcome back!

It's time for another challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight, we are revisiting a popular

(to some of the Sisters 😉) theme, the ATC,

or, Artist Trading Card/Coin.

A little tiny work of art on a little tiny canvas of your choice.

The sky's the limit with these gems!

Here's what I came up with:

I used some particle board for my substrate, and mod podged some

scrap bits of gel printed paper, and various papers. I smudged black

paint around the edges. I stamped and colored the fox images, as 

well as stamped the words with an alphabet stamp set.

Here's a closer look:

I hope that you'll join my sisters and our reigning Queen,

Granne, and create one or more ATC for our ATC challenge

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

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

Supplies:

Substrate: particle board

Stamps: Some Odd Girl - Hipster Pets; Studio G - alphabet stamps

Ink: Memento - tuxedo black; Staz On - Jet Black

Papers: scraps

Accessories: Spectrum Noir markers; Prismacolor pencils; scrap gel prints, stamped book paper, mystery paper; DecoArt Americana black acrylic paint;

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 #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 #107 - U is for Umbrella

They say April showers bring May flowers, but we are

still getting snow here in the Mid Atlantic. WTH?!

Regardless, Edna and my Sisters at 

the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS challenge you to

create something using an umbrella. 

Whether you use the type which keeps the rain off of you,

or the kind that are a garnish to tropical drinks,

is up to you!

 

Here's what I came up with:

and with inside...with snark, of course:

With a little help using the sketch from Just Add Ink #401, I had some fun

coloring this sweet image (NBUS! I've had this for at least 3 years). It's amazing

what you rediscover in your craft room when you start looking inside boxes.

My sentiment was computer generated since I didn't have that as a stamp already.

You can tell a bit in the picture that her Wellies are slick from Glossy Accents.

Now it's your turn to slap a bumbershoot onto your project and link up

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! Do yourself a favor and visit the blogs

SHOPPING OUR STASH #344 - Celebrate National Dress Day!

Welcome and happy Tuesday!

Did you know that March 6th is

National Dress Day?

To celebrate, the SOS Crew at

SHOPPING OUR STASH

challenge you to add a dress to your project!

For my card, I stalked Pinterest and found this template that I

printed out onto the back side of the paper I used for my dress.

I thought a little black dress with pink polka dots would make

for an adorable dress. The ribbon I won years ago from May Arts. It's

a pale pink, although with my crack photography skillz, it looks more white.

I found a teeny little flower in my stash to add to the waist. So cute!

and the inside:

My sentiments are from a couple stamp sets that I just rediscovered.

(the fabulous stamp saw ink for the first time! NBUS!)

I hope that you find some time this week to play along in our dress challenge

at Shopping Our Stash! Need more ideas? Simply visit the blogs of

my teammies to see the amazing creations they came up with!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #290 - Heartless

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!

What? You still need to make yet another last minute

V-Day card? Well, you are in luck, because at 

SHOPPING OUR STASH,

we are challenging you to make a 

romantic project without using hearts!

Here's the card I made:

and a bit of snark on the inside:

Yeah, I had to go there. LOL! I'll admit that I don't make V-Day cards unless it's for

one of my design teams. (I think it's a Hallmark holiday. That's right. I said it.)

So, why not make it fun?!

My card design is based on Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge #198 (already ended,)

and the Color Throwdown #429 (also ended. Sigh.)

But, it challenged me to color orange hair, which I think I pulled off. (IMHO)

Now it's your turn to get those really last minute romantic cards or projects made

and link them up at Shopping Our Stash so we can admire them! (Or think of it as 

getting ahead for next year! LOL!) Need more inspiration? Then simply check out what 

my teammates and our Guest Designer, Ina, have created for your viewing pleasure!

Just a reminder: We are looking for Guest Designers! If you'd like to be considered for

March, simply leave a 'DT' after your name when you link up!

JUST US GIRLS #379 - Word Week

Hello crafty peeps and welcome! It's Word Week at JUST US GIRLS! Lisa is your

hostess and she would like to see DOGS on your cards or projects.

Here is my contribution:

 and the inside:

A bit of coloring, a bit of masking, a bit of fussy cutting. Can you believe I've had this stamp set for at least two years and this is the first time I've inked up anything from it? So so sad. I colored this cute chihuahua with Spectrum Noir markers, then added 'fur' with a Prisma Color pencil (Goldenrod).  

I hope you have a chance to play along with our Word Week challenge! Just link up your card or project at Just Us Girls so we can see it! For more ideas, check out what my teammies, and our Guest Designer, Michele, have come up with to inspire you!

JUST US GIRLS #335 - Color Week

Hi everyone! I'm your hostess for Color Week at JUST US GIRLS. Since Spring/Easter is just around the corner, (it's really early this year!), I thought some pastel colors were in order. I chose PASTEL PINK, YELLOW, and PURPLE. For my challenge, any light neutrals are welcome, but please only use the three colors picked for the challenge. (That means no blues, oranges, greens...you know who you are! LOL!) Here is the trio (Yep, three!) of cards I've made:

It's the same sentiment on the inside of all cards: 

I started with an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of white card stock, and went about randomly stamping the bunny then the basket in the 3 challenge colors. Then I die cut 4 panels from it. (I still need to make one more card) I made card bases with card stock in the three colors. I stamped the sentiment onto scraps of the same card stock using similar colored ink, and cut them into a banner. As a last touch, I added sequins in the same challenge colors to all the cards. So simple, and I was able to crank out more than one card in a session of crafting! Yay me! 

I hope you find some time to play along with our color challenge at Just Us Girls! I look forward to seeing what you make with the colors! Just a reminder, if you are picked as Chic of the Week for any of our March challenges, you'll be in the running to be our Guest Designer for the month of May! Good luck and happy crafting!

Good morning snarky peeps! It's time for another fun challenge at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS! How about that Edna? The hills are alive with the sound of music! (Either that or she's trying to be in the next Ricola commercial! LOL!) We want to see your music themed projects this fortnight. Here's what I came up with (at the very last second):

 And here is the inside:

Yep, as is my style, the snark is on the inside. And now you won't be able to sing that particular Christmas song without thinking of this card. Buahahahaha!!! Come on, who wouldn't love a farting Rudolph card?! ☺ 

Now it's your turn to make a music themed project and link up at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers. While there, please do check out what my Sistahs and our newest Guest Designer, Gloria (aka Creepy Glowbugg), have created for your viewing pleasure.

Another Christmas card done...

Hello crafty peeps! I have a quick card to share:

 Here's the inside:

I colored this cutie up and added Glossy Accents to her eyes and the bulbs (then proceeded to accidentally smear some of the bulbs - rolls eyes and shakes head). The sentiment was heat embossed for some added shininess, though you can't see it in this photo. But it does. For real.  ☺

That's it for me. Back to life. Gotta go walk the fur baby! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a great day!
