Seize the Birthday #332 - Funny/Pun-ny

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

I have been making lots of cards but

not blogging about them, so I'm fixing

that right now. Here's one I made

at least a month ago, and I think

it fits the challenge at Seize the Birthday #332 -

Funny or Pun-ny cards:

I've had this idea to pair this sentiment with this image

for quite some time, and I finally made a card with them. LOL!

It's pretty CAS for me, but since white space

makes me cringe, I stenciled the background. 😁

Since Addicted to Stamps and More #524 has an

Any Occasion challenge going, I'll add this there also.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

Supplies:

Stamps: Viva Las Vegas Stamps - Flasher Back; STAMPlorations - Some Snark, Birthday Bash

Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black; Taylored Expressions - Honey

CS: Spectrum Noir; Neenah

Accessories: Spectrum Noir markers; Hero Arts - Filigree Pattern stencil; MISTI

Happy Birthday, genius!

 Hello friends and welcome!

I always seem to be behind in making birthday

cards, especially dude cards. But I

did come up with this little gem:

I had this sentiment stamp set out on my desk when it

occurred to me that I had the Einstein stamp somewhere in

my collection. A snarky card was created LOL!

I thought the tweed paper was a nice touch. 😉

I already have a brother-in-law in mind for this.

Luckily, we all share a snarky sense of humor!

AAA Birthday #71 calls for a masculine card for their

current challenge, so I am entering this over there.

That's it for now. I hope that you enjoy the rest of your day and the weekend.

Thanks for visiting!

Hello and Happy Holidays to you!

It's time for our annual Naughty Christmas challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #246 - N is for New

 

(Edna in Barbie packaging! Sister Lee is brilliant!)

Hello and Happy New Year snarky peeps!

Can you believe that this is our 10th year at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS?

We'd like to thank everyone who has supported us by playing

along all these years!

You will notice that our format has changed this year from every two

 weeks to once a month. That gives you more time to join in the fun!

Also, we have a new Sister! Please welcome

Deena! You may recognize her from Shopping Our Stash

and also a designer for the Ink Road Stamps.

Welcome aboard Deena!

For our first challenge of 2024, we want you to use something new

on your projects. Maybe you received some new crafty goodies

over the holidays. Or perhaps you have something brand

spanking new in your crafty stash that you've yet to use.

Well, now's your chance!

I took advantage of one (*cough, or four, cough*), crafty sales

over the holidays and purchased this 'Sign of the Times'

die from My Favorite Things. In my usual demented way,

I used it in a very unwholesome way:

I sent this to my sister, Laura.

Believe it or not, this is our term of endearment between

my sisters and myself! 😂  

I couldn't send a card to one sister and not the other, so...

This one went to my sister Sandy. Like me, the word

fuck is widely used in her vocabulary. 😆

After I took these pictures, I thought that the cards were missing

 something, so I added a bit of shading on the hands/arms, and added hearts. LOL!

So much more meaningful with the hearts!

I hope that you'll join us in our NEW challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

For more inspiration, please do visit the blogs of my sisters

and leave them some love!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS # 241 M is for Music

 

Hello and welcome snarky peeps! It's time for the new

challenge at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight, it's all about MUSIC!

Here's what I came up with:

In case you didn't know, Beethoven started losing his

hearing in his 20's, thus the double meaning in his

response to the crowd. 😁

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

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

For more ideas, do yourself a favor and check out what my

sisters, and our reigning Queen, Carol have created for your

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #230 - Y is for Yuck

 

Welcome snarky peeps!

The new challenge has started at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS,

Y is for YUCK!

Interpret this however you'd like. I'll admit I had no clue what

to do with the prompt, but as I was looking at the stamps

I had from Viva Las Vegas Stamps, I came across this

image that immediately reminded me of

Spanish Inquisitors. I printed out the sentiment

on my computer and this is what emerged:

I'm not really sure if that is an actual quote from the inquisitors,

but it sounded like something they'd say. LOL!

It's your turn to challenge yourself and create something 

yuck-worthy and add it to the gallery at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! Need more ideas? Simply 

visit the blogs of my Sisters and our reigning Queen,

Beverly, to see how they interpreted the challenge.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #210 - F is for F Words

 

Hello snarky peeps and welcome!

It's time for one of our favorite challenges

at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS:

F is for F Words!

Felines, fire, fabric, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Me? You guessed it. I went for my favorite cuss word:

You've been warned.

Yes, I do realize that only after I stamped all those words, that

I probably should have placed them lower on the panel so

that they'd look like they were coming out of her mouth

instead of her forehead. LOL!

Even though the lady stamp is called Banksy Wall Singer, to me she sort of

looks like Frida Kahlo screaming, so I'm adding that to my F list!

I hope that you'll join us for our F Word challenge this fortnight at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! Go ahead and let your

freak flag fly! As always, snark is never mandatory to play along.

another challenge at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight we encourage you to say what you really want to say,

and be rude! LOL!

Here's what I came up with:

I utilized another gel print I made a few years back for this card.

I thought this Banksy gas mask girl went perfectly

Hello and welcome back snarky peeps!

We have a fun new challenge starting today at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

That's right, own those hot flashes like a boss and

get all HORMONAL!

I wanted to use colors that portrayed what it's like to get hot flashes,

 mood swings, and all the other not so fabulous changes our bodies go through

during menopause. Oranges and reds - all the wonderful hot, fiery colors!

I dug in my stash of gel prints and found this one to use:

 

 

 and made this:

That sentiment pretty much says it all. LOL!

I hope you can join us in our glorious hormonal rages this fortnight

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! For more funny ideas, do yourself

Here's my offering:

I knew Viva Las Vegas Stamps wouldn't disappoint me when I searched

their store for a flasher stamp. LOL! He's colored with Spectrum Noir 

markers. The background is die cut from a

gel print I made a couple years ago, then I added to it with the

stitched texture plate. My sentiment is courtesy of a meme

I found on the Google.
