SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #253 S is for Summer

 

Hello and welcome snarky peeps!

It's time once again for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

As the graphic created by our fabulous sister Lee suggests,

we'd like to see your summertime projects!

For me, summer always means the beach, so

I created a fun scene on my card:

No snark this time, this was too pretty for it. LOL!

I added some Snow Writer to the waves for more dimension, and

when it was dry, randomly went over it with some glitter glue.

I hope that you find some time this month to play 

along in our Summer challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

Need more inspiration? Simply visit the blogs of my sisters

to see their amazing projects!

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

Merry Christmas Florals

 Hello and happy Fri-YAY!!

I'm popping in with another

Christmas card:

Anyone else take advantage of the Christmas in July sales?

Yeah, I did too. The stamps and designer paper used on this

card was the end result of that. 😊

Bonus, I actually broke open these new-to-me goodies

right away, instead of adding them to my growing

pile of NBUS! LOL!

The center of the large flower has glitter drops on it, and

all the other flowers/buds were winked with Stella

for some extra shimmer and glitz.

(Although you can't see that with my crack photography skillz)

Here's the finished inside:

That's all I have for now. I thank you for stopping by,

and hope you have a great weekend!

Whaley big birthday wishes

Hello and welcome friends!

You know when you see a sketch and

you get some crazy idea of how to

interpret it onto a card? Yeah, that's

what happened with this one:

I used the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, but I rotated

it so that the vertical lines were horizontal. See? It's ocean waves now!

I went full out artsy-fartsy with this, by tearing up different shades

of turquoise cardstock, (So therapeutic!), so that this wee orca had

something to swim in. Bonus: I used up some paper snippets. 😊

Here's the inside:

This was a cool sketch that really made

 me think outside my comfort zone. (Thank you!)

Thanks for stopping by. I hope that you have a 

great rest of your day!

Hummingbird birthday

 Hello and welcome!

I have a card to share that I was

working on over the weekend:

I used a brand new (to me) hummingbird layering die that

I'm so loving right now!

Shades of green and a pop of red. The ruby throated

hummingbird is the kind that I have zipping around my

hummingbird feeders. They are so much fun to watch!

Here's the finished inside:

Well, that's it for now. 

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

Joy Christmas card

 Hello and welcome, friends!

This is my second post today, and

it's another Christmas card!

I still used traditional colors, but that black snowflake panel makes

this card a bit more dramatic. 

Here is the inside:

It's been some time since I've made any Christmas cards, so I'm

happy to have this and the one on my previous post done.

I probably only need to make around 100 more, or so. LOL!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great rest of your day!

Happy Holidays poinsettia

 Hello and good Monday to you all!

I'm popping in with a card I'd like to share:

I made a bunch of these poinsettias last December and had

this one left to use, so, here it is! LOL!

Have a fruitful birthday

 Hello friends and welcome!

I have a fun card to share with you today:

This stamp from Lawn Fawn had little stick arms and legs

on it, but I only wanted to use the banana. So, after stamping

and coloring, I fussy cut them out and arranged them as a bunch.

For a bit of texture, I used a bit of corrugated paper I found in my stash.

I did some careful masking to turn the sentiment into a birthday theme.

Here's the finished inside:

This one came out better than I had imagined. 😄😄😄

I never think about using fruit in my card designs.

Guess I should do this more often. LOL!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope that you have a great day!

Aqua Birthday Wishes

 Hello friends and welcome!

I hope that you are having a good day so far.

I have a card I'd like to share with you:

I wasn't sure if I could pull off a dogwood in shades

of aqua, but I'm really pleased with how this turned out. 😊

I used DOX in Peacock Feathers for the subtle shading.

The sentiment was stamped in the same color but in

Distress Ink, then I clear embossed it.

I added some white blizzard Nuvo Glitter drops to the

flower centers.

Here's the finished inside:

That's all I have for now. Thank you for visiting!

I hope that you have a great rest of your day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #252 - L is for Sister Lindsey

Hello and welcome snarky friends!

This month the Sisterhood is paying tribute to our dear friend and

snarky sister, Lindsey Martin-Penny, who lost her battle

to a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer on July 21, 2022.

It's been two years and the Sisters still and always will

miss her terribly. As an homage to her, the 

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS

 invite you to create 

something that was inspired by Lindsey.

You can visit her blog for all kinds of inspiration.

(Just be sure to let us know what it was that inspired you,

as it may not be obvious.)

Those who knew her knew of her great love of cats, and punny

sentiments. I've combined both using

a never before used stamp set that I bought two years ago:

This is my artistic take on Lindsey's cat, Duncan. He looks

very dashing in his party hat. (Even though it's pink!)

A simple sentiment finishes the inside:

We hope that you find some time this month to help the sisters

celebrate our sister Lindsey at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Please do yourself a favor and visit the blogs of my sisters

and our reigning Queen, Rosi, to see their projects.

Thanks for visiting. I hope that you have a great day!
