SoSS #235 - S is for Steampunk

SoSS #235 - S is for Steampunk

 

 What a neat challenge! I'm not real comfortable with Steampunk, so here it goes-

 

 

What's better than cars and gears for a gearhead? The embossing folder is Steampunk by Tim Holtz, which I colored with Tie Dye, Evergreen Bough, Rusty Hinge Distress Inks, then added Memento Cocoa Brown. The gears are by Spellbinders, and the car is from Stampers Journey Mr. Classy set. Added the sentiment cut with a MFT banner die, and voila! My attempt at Steampunk.

 

I'm entering this at Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Steampunk challenge!

Y is for Yuck

SOSS #230 - Y for Yuck

 And I have a card today that represents Yuck twice!

Is there anything worse than crap? Or feeling like crap? I dunno. But this is great for the males to receive because I swear, they have a fascination with crap. This was made with Unity Stamp Co. Stinkin' Cute stamps set.

Have a great day!

I is for Inky

 

SoSS #229 - I is for Ink

 And here is my project-

I used the Alcohol Ink Lift Pad (Tim Holtz), and Paper Smooches stamp set Feline Friends. When used together it lifts the ink off the paper! The alcohol ink panel was one of my first ones I ever made, and the Alcohol Ink Lift Pad worked like a charm. Added some butterfly brads and embossed a sentiment on vellum and came up with a cute cat card.

 

E is for Expletives

SoSS Challenge #228 - E is for Expletives

 Well, here I am entering another challenge at SoSS! Love these themes!

Here is my project-

The image is a new one for me (clearance rack, 1/2 off!), and I mean how could I resist? Colored with Copics, she's really a pretty lady. She's from Artistic Impression (The Queen Set).  The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co. (sadly, discontinued), and the die tag is from Spellbinders Fancy Tags 2. The brick wall is an embossing folder from Darice, using Fired Brick Distress Oxides. The window is from Poppy Stamps (Large Window Die).

I hope you like!

S0SS V is for Vintage

 Another great challenge from the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! It's...

SoSS Challenge #227 - V is for Vintage

 

And here is my card-

and a 2nd card because I couldn't make up my mind-

The card bases are some Theresa Collins pre-made ones I've had forever. Just found them and thought I would give a go at making something with them! The vintage prints & sentiments are from Stamplorations (Retro Fashionistas and Hot Mess). The dies for the sentiments are from Cuttlebug (Labels and Such), colored with Copics and an air compressor. I also added pearls to the Half Empty card and holographic sequins to the Hot & Steamy card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

G is for Glitter

 Today I am the Guest Designer at Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, and the challenge is-

And here is my project-

 

And on the inside-

 This card was put together using an alcohol ink background, and the Cas-ual Fridays items called Pop Fizz Clink Stamp Set and Champagne Flute Dies. I used gold mirror cardstock for the flutes and gold glitter cardstock for the bubbles. The gold glitter tends to cling to the plastic, but I think it looks like bubble trails!

Join in the challenge and have fun with glitter!

Christmas Cat

 Today I'm joining the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for-

 

 

And here is my project-

 The older I get, the more I feel like this.

Here is the material list-

1. Stamps: cat (Snarky Cats by Tim Holtz), sentiment (My Favorite Things-Sassy Pants Holidays).
2. Paper: red plaid, white cardstock.
3. Other: Versamark ink, white embossing powder.
   

 

Gobble, Gobble!

 Today I'm entering this card at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

 

 

and the inside-

The turkey card I cut with my Cricut from an SVG file from Dreaming Tree, and the inside sentiment is from Two Lips Stamps.

H is for Halloween

Today I'm joining the H is for Halloween challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, and here is my project-

I made this for my niece for this year, but forgot to post it in a challenge! This was made with my Cricut. The clouds I made with my Copics and a cloud stencil, the sentiment (both inside and out) were written by my Cricut. The inside sentiments says-

I love you so much that there's almost no chance I'd use you as bait during the Zombie Apocalypse.

Another drunk card

oSS #219 - D is for Drunk

 What a fun challenge at the Sisterhood!

 

 

Here is my project-

 

Well, I got one more card for the nieces done-I'm going to ask my sister which one should get this card. The paper is out of my stash, so it's unknown. The image is Riley & Co.s  Helen & Alice (Love how versatile this image is!). Can't wait until the party!

 

D is for Drunk

 

SoSS #219 - D is for Drunk

 What a fun challenge at the Sisterhood!

 

 

Here is my project-

Truer sentiments were never typed. Yeah, I like to have fun. The image is from Unity Stamps (She used to Care), colored with Prismacolor pencils. The paper is out of my scrap stash, and the sentiment computer generated. I'm going to TRY to put together a half dozen or so cards for my nieces birthdays, as they are snarky in their own right and might need appropriate cards to remind friends of the drinking games they play!

K is for Kraft

The Challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is-

I need to replenish my supply of snarky cards, so I'm getting (got?) busy! Here is my project-

Unity Stamps has some great off the wall humorous stamps! This one is AH Crap and has other funny sentiments along with the toilet & plunger. The floor was stamped using Taylored Expressions "Woodgrain" rubber stamp, and the walls were stenciled using Cas-ual Fridays "Tin Roof" with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide. I seem to put my foot in my mouth on a daily basis, so I know I'll need this card.

Come join in the fun!

Christmas in July!

SoSS Challenge #214 - C is for Christmas (In July)

That's a pretty hot Santa Edna is hanging with! I wish theanta's I know were that built.

Here is my project-

This will be a great card for my brother, who has a cat that likes to terrorize my Yorkie when we visit. That cat can haul his fat butt (25 lbs!) onto the fridge, knocking everything off. Of course the kegarater being right by it helps. 

The cat stamps are from the Tim Holtz Snarky Christmas cats, and the sentiments computer generated. The paper was out of my stash of scraps.

I'm joining the fun at Sisterhood of Snarky Stamps C is for Christmas!

 

W is for Wicked

SoSS #211: W is for Wicked

Love this challenge! Lots of different takes on Wicked, and here is mine-

That's my story and I'm sticking to it! What I used to make this card (especially at the last minute!)-

1. Image: Wine Divas by Impression Obsession, colored with Copics.
2. Dies: Labels 16 by Spellbinders.
3. Paper: white, pink cardstock, ugly designer paper by GCD.
4. Sentiment: computer generated.

Love the Sisterhood!

 

V is for Vibrant!

 Hello there! The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers have a new challenge, and it is...

So, I made what I think is a vibrant project-

And truer words have never been spoken! I have seen (and done) stupid things under the influence of margaritas. As have many, many, many, others! Her are the materials I used to make this card-

1.  Stamps: margarita, sentiment (Salty, by CAS-ual Fridays). Colored with Copics.
2.  Background: alcohol inks on Yupo paper. 
3. Papers: pink foil, white, black & pink cardstock.

 

I'm also entering this card at Simon Says Bit of Green challenge.

Snark to the rescue!

 

 Can you believe this milestone? The 200th challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

 Here is my project-

 

I was actually going to use this as my Queen card, and changed my mind. Now, recent events have happened to rethink that decision, so I'm entering this at the Sisterhood! I gave this card to my father-in-law, as he has the perfect humor for it (And he knows that I'm poking fun at the Thanksgiving dinner disaster!). He laughed so hard! So, I printed the picture off the internet, computer generated the sentiment, and added it to patterned cardstock. 

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas, and let's hope a better New Year!

S is for Snark!

 

 Can you believe this milestone? The 200th challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! And the challenge theme is Y is for Yuletide!

 Here is my project-

and on the inside-

This kinda sums up my Yuletide Spirit! As I age, I don't decorate, no tree, etc. Too much work just for me and the hubby! The stamp I used is from Artistic Impressions called Cheers to You, colored with Copics. Christmas paper is from Michaels (a long time ago), and the sentiments are computer generated. 

I hope you have lots of Christmas cheer and a happier New Year!

N is for Naughty

SoSS #198 N is for Naughty

 Another fun challenge with the Sisterhood! Here is my project-

Love Vintage images, and this one I found somewhere on the internet (I can't remember where, too long ago!). I have folders in my desktop I put them in, and use when the mood strikes me! Sentiment is computer generated, and all of it is mounted on some gorgeous red flocked scraps I had. I may add pearls or sequins if I get to it!

Thanks to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for a wonderful challenge!

Pinkfresh Wreath Challenge

 

 Soooo...I have never owned Pinkfresh products before I got a Glimmer machine. I was watching Jennifer McGuire foil, and use Pinkfresh coordination stencils. Then I watched a Pinkfresh Studio video about the Solid Foil Plate-and ordered a bunch of stuff during the video! Here is my first attempt at foiling and stenciling with Pinkfresh! I am entering the challenge, btw.

 

 This was put together with:

Pinkfresh Studio Diamond Plaid Stencil

Pinkfresh Studio Daisy Wreath Hot Foiling Plate 

Pinkfresh Studio Daisy Wreath Layered Stencil Set

Pinkfresh Studio Daisy Wreath Die

Spellbinders More Sentiments 

 This was so much fun to make! 

 

 

R is for Rude

 SOSS Challenge #197 - R for Rude

Wow, I finally get to participate in another great challenge from the Sisterhood! I can definitely do rude!

Here is my project-

 

The only flaw in the card is who I can give it to, that respects the snarky aspect of it! Too bad that most people would be insulted to get this card-I think I'll give it to my sister. Or not.

The stamps set is called "Old Bag" and is from Unity Stamp Co. I used a portion of a real brown paper brown bag and stamped it with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide. The cardstock is from a 6 x 6 pad that I fussy cut around the frame, and the dots are paper punched from the left over paper.

Thank you Sisterhood, for letting me get my rude on.
