The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #261 - M is for Manly

 

All together now... 

"Edna's a lumberjack and she's OK

She sleeps all night and she works all day..."

Bravo to Sister Lee for yet another awesome Edna to get us in the mood for Challenge #261 - M is for Manly. 

For some reason I decided to grab a Grim Reaper die from Sizzix for this one. 

A balloon die cut and a Dani Doodles stamp also jumped on board to join the fun. 

There are some truly brilliant macho creations on offer for this challenge, so please come and join us over at The Sisterhood... lumberjack shirts are optional. 

Dani Doodles

Hi there, welcome to another post showcasing the fun stamps created by Dani of Dani Doodles.

Once again, I teamed-up my fave Funky Fossil stencil with a yet another fun sentiment by Dani. 

I did a little masking and then reversed the stencil to get the effect of the orange bird doing it's own thing. I think this bird is a female... possibly about to turn 60, but trying to keep going and living her best life! 😉😜😜

You can see more of Dani's new stamps over on Facebook here or on Instagram here. You can shop the new release and purchase other sets here and don't forget to use my discount code: ddjo10 to get 10% off.

Dani Doodles - March 2025 Release

Hi there! It's time for me to share another card featuring new designs from Dani Doodles. 

 

I fell head-over-heels for this cute pup, and I think the illustration is based on Dani's little pug Maisie. What a sweetie, and just look how Dani has drawn that lil' face. 

This really is the most adorable little set for Easter - you can buy it here, but you better hurry as stocks are running low. 

My second card once again features sentiments from Sorry. The gorgeous birds were created using a favourite stencil from Funky Fossil. I've made another card using this stencil paired with Dani's stamps and I'll be sharing it next week.

Dani Doodles - New Release

It's NEW RELEASE Week over at Dani Doodles! And what a fun release it is too.

Here's how a Dani Doodles package arrives:

I do like it when a delivery looks like a little gift. Such a sweet touch and so typical of the lovely Dani. 

Here's my first card using one of the new sets:

And suddenly, thanks to Dani, 'Sorry' doesn't seem to be the hardest word! 

This is just such a great set of sentiments and I love the fonts that Dani has used. For my card I paired the big 'Sorry' and 'things are rubbish' with sweet Hero Arts Lia Griffiths Mini Clear Just for You set, plus a nameless stencil (I must try and find the packaging!). I stepped-up the middle of the card just for a little added interest.

Here's the stamp set in full:

And here's another card using stamps from the same set, plus Dani's gorgeous Winter Vine pattern. 

And here is a little look at Dani's fun pugs on her set Easter Maisie. My favorite is the pup with the bunny ears!

Dani's final set of the release is a little bit X-rated and you can find it here in her online shop. Great fun!

Dani Doodles - It's Sneak Peek Week

 

We're on the countdown to a brand new release over at Dani Doodles, and Dani and the team are sharing Sneak Peeks this week.

Here's how a Dani Doodles package arrives...

So exciting, so pretty and who doesn't love a bit of hairy string!

And now a little look at what I've been playing with from the new release. This is such a great set and I'm wondering how I managed without it for all these years!

I'll share the card in full next week, and showcase other cards made using the sentiments from this set.

Finally, here's a fun card I made using Dani's Naughty Affirmations Pt 2 (currently a Bestseller) and Whittle Unicorn from Poppystamps. Cute or what - and doesn't he look pleased with himself!

Happy crafting, everyone!

Dani Doodles Day!

If it's Thursday, then it must be my day to share a Dani Doodles creation! 

Today, I'm showcasing More Narky Sentiments and proving how well Dani's sentiment stamps pair with just about any image you may have in your stash! 

I love this Stamplorations border called Coffee Pot Row, but have always lacked the perfect wording to partner with it... Until now! The 'hello' is a super-oldie from Simon Says Stamp. 

Hope you're having a happy day!

Dani Doodles - A Little Pug Lovin'

Hi guys, here's wishing you all a very happy Thursday! 

I made another card using this set from The Ink Road and Dani's Dog Puns! 

Isn't this little cutie adorbs, and just perfect to pair with Dani's fun sentiment. The background bones stencil is from Funky Fossil and was coloured with Distress Ink. 

Don't forget, you can find all the info about Dani's stamps by heading here.

And I'm so happy to play along over at Addicted to CAS Challenge #277 where their code word is PET.

Happy crafting, everyone.

Dani Doodles - Howl You Doing?

Hi there, card fans, it's time for more Dani Doodles fun today as I showcase a fun sentiment from Dani's set Dog Puns.

Doesn't this little pup from The Ink Road just work so well with this sentiment??? The background was created with two Distress Inks and a MFT stencil. Dani's sentiment stamps are so easy to work with and give a lovely, crisp finish. Stay tuned for more cards featuring Dani Doodles products... the February Release isn't far away!

Happy Crafting!

Dani Doodles meets AAA Birthday

There's a fun challenge over at AAA Birthday: Game #70 is Ink Smooshing and I knew I wanted to play along. I do love a bit of smooshing and the DT inspiration is gorgeous!

My 'go to' background of the moment is this beauty from Dani Doodles and I had loads of fun heat embossing in white and then getting smooshy with some dye inks. The sentiment is from another of Dani's sets: More Narky Birthday Sentiments. 

BTW, Dani now has a Challenge running on Facebook which you can find here... And she's offering a fun stamp set prize for each challenge!

Happy crafting everyone!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #259 - L is for Love

 

The Sisters have been hard at work creating some wonderfully 'romantic' cards to celebrate Valentine's Day on 14th February. As you can see from our graphic, Edna is in two minds about celebrating this annual show of affection! Great work, Sister Lee.

My card is all cute and girly - gold on pink and created using Dani Doodles gorgeous Winter Vine and one of her fun More Narky Sentiments. 

Reads: Nope, Not Today.

Who said ROMANCE is dead?

Please come play along with the Sisterhood and share your romantic/mildly indifferent/anti-romantic creations with us!

Dani Doodles

 

Earlier in the week I was finally able to announce my new creative adventure as one of the DT over at Dani Doodles. 

The DT comprises the lovely Dani...

Plus Stacie, Angela, Vicki, and (top right) Squinty McSquinty Trousers. In my defense the light inside the glasshouse at Kew was dazzling that day. 

Dani Doodles is known for the Narky sentiment stamps which offers a range of fun, cheeky and tongue-in-cheek alternatives to those currently on the market, designed to get a fun reaction from the recipient!

Today, I'm showcasing Dani's new release of fun and narky sentiments, 

plus her very first drawn design.

Dani Doodles - More Narky Sentiments

Dani Doodles - Winter Vine

I love this pattern soooooooooo much. 

Because everyone appreciates a little praise from time-to-time!

Dani's sentiments are great because they work on their own and also pair well with a variety of images from my stash... especially this little sweetie.
