SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #274 G is for Gnome

 

Hello and welcome, snarky peeps!

It's time for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This month, we'd like to see a gnome or gnomes on your projects.

I dug through my arsenal of stamps and found a set that

 I only used once. I had only colored up one of the 

cute images in it, so I came up with this little gem.

You know, since it's almost that time of year!

(IYKYK!) 

OB1 is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut.

I found some star themed paper for my background.

The sentiment came with the stamp set, and I LOVE it!

And the message...?

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

Gnome Challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

For more inspiration, do check out what our reigning

Queen, Jenn and my sisters have created.

Thanks for stopping by!

Dotty birthday wishes

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

I'm back with another card to share.

I love a simple design with a bold color pallet. This

card just makes me happy! 😊

Another sentiment finishes the inside.

I finally put up some Halloween decorations today.

I didn't go all out like I usually do, but it was

enough to make me feel good.

Now it's time to get some dinner started.

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

Get your hula on!

 Hello and happy hump day!

I'm popping in quickly to share a card I made for

my sister for her birthday. She loves the beach

so I created a cute ocean scene:

Here's the inside:

Yep, I am the younger sister, and I love to remind her of it every chance I get. LOL!

I used a few NBUS stamp sets to make my scene, all from Stampendous,

(supply list is below) and colored with Spectrum Noir markers. To keep the

beach vibe going, I stenciled a tone on tone wavy stencil onto the card base.

Oh, and that hula gnome? She's on an Action Wobble!

That's all for now. We are getting some gorgeous weather here right now,

and I want to go out and enjoy it. Especially since the cicadas are pretty

much gone. LOL! Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

And here's another guy card

 

 Hi there, I'm back with another beer themed guy card.

My guy card stash is pretty much non-existent, so I cranked

out a couple cards to help with that. Here's the other one:

 and the inside:

 

LOL! I love that sentiment, and this is yet another card for one of my beer drinking

 20-something nephews. I was able to use up some snippets from a 

paper collection to make up this card. Yay!

That's it for today. Thanks for visiting!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #172 - X is for fauX

 

(For an alphabet challenge, X is getting harder to figure out, so we have to get creative. LOL!)

Hello and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

It's my all time favorite holiday. And you would think that I'd have

made a Halloween card for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS,

but alas, no. We want to see what you create using

faux...whatever! LOL! This is what I came up with:

My faux item? It's the faux tin tile I created using this tutorial.

 I may have made a couple...

This card may look elegant, but you know me,

can't resist a bit of snark:

For more fabulous faux creations, do yourself a favor and check out

what my Sistahs and our returning Queen Beverly have created for

your viewing pleasure. 

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #166 V is for Vulgarity

Welcome snarky peeps!

It's time for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS! 

I'm your hostess this month, (totally random) and this fortnight's

challenge is V for Vulgarity.

Now, if you are not up for some swear words, or if the

kids are around, you might not want to go any further.

You've been warned.

Here's my card:

As if I wouldn't use my favorite swear word for this challenge. LOL!

This was a labor of love, as the F U words are two separate stamps.

That I stamped repeatedly. A lot. Then to glam it up, I did a bit

of Frantage heat embossing around the edges.

Shiny!

I hope that you'll play along in our vulgarity challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers. There are some very diverse ways my Sisters

interpreted this challenge, so do yourself a favor and

visit them to see their amazing creations!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

Jumbo Zinnia? Yes please.

Hey there and welcome!

Happy Mother's Day to all who are celebrating,

whether you have human babies or fur babies!

This crazy time has really been messing with my

creative mojo, but I did find the spark again, a bit, to

make this card yesterday:

here's the inside:

 

With my crack photography skillz, both the stamped background and flower do not

match the same shade of dark purple that the sentiment banner is in this

picture, but I assure you they match rather well in real life.

The flower was stamped twice, colored (well just a coating of the light purple

where it would be covered up with the next layer), fussy cut and layered together.

I've added a bit of Diamond Stickles to the centers of the stamens. Both layers

are popped up with foam squares onto the card base, then a simple sentiment

and some sequins finish the front.

That's all for now. Got to get going and get some dinner on. Sadly,

Mother's Day isn't a 'thing' in my household. Sigh. I DO have

a fur baby. That should count, I believe. Oh well. LOL!

Have a great day, whatever you do!

Heat embossing using stencils - part 2

Hey there crafty friends!

Here's another card I made using heat embossing 

along with a stencil:

So much shine!

Here's the finished inside:

This is such a fun way to use your stencils in a different way. 

(at least it was for me.) 

Another relatively CAS card for me. But I really like how this one looks.

That's it for tonight. Gonna relax and read for a bit now.

Have a great evening and thanks for visiting!
