The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #271 - B is for Black, Black Heart

We're having far, far too much fun over at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers with Challenge #271 as we play B is for Black, Black Heart. Doesn't Edna look the bizz? 

We'd like to see anti-valentines or black on your cards, or even a combination of the two - whatever floats your crazy little love boat. 

Here's what I made using one of my most favourite stamps from Rubber Moon designed by Mary Engelbreit. I don't know why this lil gal makes me laugh so much, but she does! 

BTW, you may be relieved to know I'm not sending the card above to my hubby. He's getting this one instead!

The XOXOXOXO background is from Simon Says Stamp and I cannot stop playing with it. Seriously, I. Just. Can't. 

I'm linking this little chameleon card over at Inkspirational because their word prompt of XOXO just seems to fit perfectly! 

The current AAA Colourful Challenge also seems like a good place for my cards to go and play. 

And I'm also linking to Lost Coast Design as rightly, or wrongly, I think my chameleon card fits in here too... sort of!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #249 - F is for Fold It!

 

Hi guys, it's F is for Fold It over at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, and once again our Graphics Goddess has rocked the challenge with her latest Edna! I have no idea HOW Sister Lee comes up with such fabulous graphics, but I'm glad she does. 

Here's a cute kitty card made for my friend Susan...

And the final fold...

I had so much fun making this card for Sue and hope she likes it. I always enjoy working with MFT cats; this one just called out for the addition of googly eyes.

You can find the tutorial I used by clicking here. 

And it turns out that the lovely folk over at Inkspirational are also into fancy folding for the next two weeks. There's some lovely inspiration from the DT!

Please, come on over and join the fun at SoSS. You'll love what our fabulous royalty and the Sisters have created for this challenge.

Playing along...

Hi, folks! It's a chilly and frosty start to the day here in the UK, so what better than a little time in a cosy craft room!

I wanted to play along with the current challenge over at Inkspirational as I love an excuse to do a little paper piecing. 

I had a really good idea of how I wanted this card to look, but it hasn't quite worked out as I'd expected. Perhaps I shouldn't have used Distress Oxide to ink the base card? Perhaps I'm actually just fussing over nothing?

The cute cup image is from the lovely Jane's Doodles set I have open on my desk at the moment. I love the size of her new sets and they are so much fun to colour. 

I'm also linking this card over at ABC Christmas Challenge where 'A is for Anything Christmas'.

Have a crafty day!
