SHOPPING OUR STASH #454 - Back to the Books

 

Hello and welcome, crafty friends!

We have a fun new challenge starting at SHOPPING OUR STASH:

Back to the Books! 

Anything related to books, reading, or even using a page from a book

or text design paper on your projects can be used.

I decided to make a few bookmarks, upcycling some old

library checkout cards that were gifted to me by my teammate Mimi!

I stamped flower images on opposite corners, colored them with

Prismacolor pencils, sponged some ink around the edges, and added

glitter glue to the centers of some of the flowers. My neighbor

has a laminating machine and she let me use it to laminate these cards.

Added some ribbon and twine and these babies were done!

Here are some close ups:

I also stamped and colored on the back sides:

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #193 - P is for Paper Piecing

 

 

 Hello snarky peeps! It's time once again for a new challenge

at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight is brought to you by the letter P - for PAPER PIECING!

Apparently, some of my Sistahs thought, like me, that using stamps

from Art Impressions was the ticket. 😄

Here's what I came up with:

  

 I figured the paper piecing might be hard to make out, so

here's the cut apart pieces I used: both pants, both shirts, and

the cardigan were all paper pieced.

 After all the glue dried, I went over the paper pieced clothes with

various Spectrum Noir markers to add some shading.

 

 I used sketch 434 from Atlantic Hearts challenge, which was

the current challenge when I made this card. (I was working ahead)

Of course, a snarky sentiment is always a great finishing touch

whenever possible! LOL!

I hope that you get a chance to play along in our Paper Piecing challenge 

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! Need more idea? Simply check out

what my Sistahs, and our reigning Queen, Rachel, have created to wow you!

Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful day!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #453 - Summer Lovin'

 

Hello and good Tuesday morning, crafty friends!

The new challenge at SHOPPING OUR STASH has

started, and the SOS Crew are looking for all the things you

love about summer!

Here's my take on the challenge:

I shopped my stash and discovered this square block cutting plate by

Taylored Expressions I purchased at least two years ago, and yes,

it's the first time using it. Better late than never.

It even comes with those smaller wavy die cuts for each of the larger blocks!

I cut the die from white heavy weight card stock. I colored the frame with a blue marker.

On two of them, I used some ancient vellum stickers, (the sentiments). 

On the others, I sponged a couple DI's onto the panels,

 then splattered them with white paint. I die cut

the flip flops and sun from scraps of card stock, assembled and adhered to

the block frame. I found some flamingo Washi tape in my stash that

fit perfectly over the one skinny long strip. As a final touch, I added some

insanely tiny sequins to the flip flops and another onto the center of the sun.

I hope that you'll join us in our Summer Lovin' challenge at 

Shopping Our Stash! For more ideas, please do check out

what my teammies have created to wow you!

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #192 - H is for Hormonal

 

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

a favor and check out what my Sistahs and our current reigning Queen,

Tristan, have created for your viewing pleasure.

August Demo Day to Go at Photo Scraps!

 Hey there crafty friends!

Just popping in to tell you that I'll have two card kits

available for purchase tomorrow for 

Demo Day to Go at Photo Scraps!

From 10 am to 4 pm you can stop in and pick these up along

with at least 18+ other kits by other demonstrators. 😁

 

 Here's the first card:

 

I use Spectrum Noir markers and chose colors to match that fun

background paper, but feel free to color the image however you want:

Tip: a grid mat is your friend when placing the half circle pieces, but

not necessary. Just so long as they are no less than 1/4" in from the edges, 

you'll be good to go.

*** Here's the second card ***

Spectrum Noir colors used:

I hope that you can stop by. You can also call the shop or let

them know on their Facebook page which card kits you'd like.

(Keep in mind that those who come in to the shop have first

choice of the kits available) Help support a

terrific small business!

Have a great day!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #452 - Wood You Believe?

 

Good Tuesday morning to you, crafty friends, and welcome!

Today starts the new challenge at SHOPPING OUR STASH!

This fortnight, as the title prompt indicates, we are looking for your

projects that have some type of wood items on it. It could be

designer paper, wood grain embossing folders or stencils, wooden

chipboard items, anything like that.

 

Here's what I came up with:

and the inside:

On my card, I used a wood grain EF then took a gray ink pad directly to

the raised design to bring it out. Over that, a piece of weathered wood DP.

I thought a nice frosty mug of beer would be the perfect

addition to this masculine card, not to mention a fun sentiment.

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

at Shopping Our Stash! We'd love to see your take on it.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!
