The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #219 - D is for Drunk

 

Another fabulous Edna from Sister Lee ushers in another great challenge theme from The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

It seems strange that a group of ardent teetotallers such as the sisterhood should pick this theme, but despite our pledges of total abstinence we thought this might make for an amusing challenge. The gals have put aside their lack of familiarity with alcoholic beverages to create some awesome cards.

I've heard that people can be prone to imbibing considerable amounts of the demon drink during the festive season, so made this card...

I wanted the sentiment to take centre stage, so created a splashy, inky background in blue tones. I really do love this Stamp set from W Plus 9 called Merriest Snowflake. It's one of my favourite Christmas sets and I wouldn't want to be without it. The sentiment comes from MFT set Sassy Pants Holiday too: great fun and just perfect for our theme!

We hope you'll come and join the fun!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #204 - Q is for Quirky

We're delighted to be playing Q is for Quirky over at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and Edna is wearing her best new hat and scarf for the occasion!

I was in the mood for a little black and white number and broke out Kind Soul by W Plus 9 as I think the flowers in this set are lovely left uncoloured. I stamped and die cut two lots of flowers and stuck them around the wording. I carefully removed the excess with a pair of scissors which gave me enough 'spare' to fully frame the wording. I cut with a rectangular die to tidy up and pull everything together.

We're joined by the fabulously snarky Beverly for this challenge and I know you'll love her card - it's hilarious! The sisters have also gone to town on this theme, so please come over, take a look and play along. 

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #54 - Funny Ho, Ho!

There's another new challenge starting today over at Christmas Kickstart and I'm delighted to be joined by the very lovely Anesha M from Crafting Queen!

Our theme for this month is:

Challenge #54 - Funny Ho, Ho!

We'd like to see comical, amusing, funny Christmas cards. There may be a 'Ho, Ho!' in the title, but your card doesn't have to feature Santa; Santa's are entirely optional for this challenge!

My card uses Art Impressions stamp - Cheers To You! This fun set seems to be out of stock everywhere, so I've linked to something vaguely similar. The beautiful background stamp is W Plus 9 - Merriest Snowflake, which also features on my second card. I used a cute sentiment die from Stamplorations for the centre of this and added a stamped sentiment that has been sitting in my stash for a while. 

Rudolph has chosen with another gorgeous Random Raffle Prize. For this challenge he's chosen a very cute 'naughty but nice' sentiment from Crafter's Companion. Nice work, Rudolph!

I very much hope you'll join Anesha and me and come and play along!
