#74 is for XXX - X-MAS

With Christmas just around the corner, we, the snarky sistahs,  have a new wonderful challenge for you:

#74 is for XXX - X-MAS

It's our current challenge at our *Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers* blog for the next two weeks.

I stamped my card with a background stamp from Viva LasVegasStamps, the cat is an image from Tim Holtz, which I stamped and cut ... as well as the tie and the hat..

I cut some flakes for texture and stamped little Christmas sentiments wit Waltzing Mouse Stamps.-

I hope you find the time to join us, we'd love to see your Christmas creations ♥

*Z* is for Zentangle

A new challenge at our "Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers" blog ...

This is my take on the *Z* is for Zentangle challenge. Unfortunately I couldn't bring myself to try to draw by hand, so my background is design paper .... shame on me :(

Please hop on over to the blog and check out the amazing jobs the Snarks have come up with :)

Happy weekend ♥

Autumn Challenge at Rubber Dance Stamps

I created this tag for the current challenge at Rubber Dance Stamps.

I used one of the beautiful textured flowers and a sentiment from KaiserCraft.

I used a stencil for my background and stamped the flower twice. From one I fuzzy cut the flower without the stem and adhered it with pop dots after I embellished it with a brad.

Happy Autumn ♥

Good question :)

I felt like I had another idea for the challenge at Viva Las VegaStamps and created this tag with the "beautiful" lady!

This time I had  neutrals in general in mind as well as the stars and the "demonic" little sentiment in coordination with the image :)

The background stamp is "Mesh" from Darkroom Door.

Crazy lady

Trees

Moon

Grass

Alphabet

Sentiment - (Must be on one of the plates!)

Star - Plate 1474

The early bird .... demonic

For the monthly challenge at Viva Las VegaStamps I have created a card using VLVS only :)

I was inspired by the stripes and the color, also I DO love orange AND the images designed by Mary Vogel Lozinak  :)

 I used the following stamps:

Sitting Bird

Expanding Ray Silhouette

Star - Plate 1480

Stitching

Sentiment 
Alphabet - Plate 1456

as well as some wood veneer star.

Take It Make It Challenge

For the Take It Make It Challenge at the Craft Stamper Magazine Blog I created this ATC with seasonal/earth tone colours: reds, oranges, greens and  yellows.

The background is from a Master Board I had inked with different Distress Inks in Autumn Colours.

I stamped the textured Flowers and removed the ink with Bleach. Then I coloured the flower with Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens. I added some little flower stamps with white ink. 

The sentiment is from a PI Stamp Set, the Flowers are from Rubber Dance Stamps.

 

Black & White

We have a new challenge at USE YOUR STUFF today!

Make something in Black & White, easy peasy, isn't it?

I made an ATB with Cherry Pie stamps ...

Hop on over and join us, lots of fun ♥

Erin Sparler of EyeConnect Crafts (USA) and Bibi Lindahl of Rubber Dance Stamps (Norway) met online in the fall of 2015. They quickly hit it off and discovered that they had a LOT in common, or as Erin so eloquently put it: There is no word for old friends who have just met!

The Design Teams have been generously supplied with chip boards from EyeConnect Crafts and rubber stamps from Rubber Dance Stamps and we are all thrilled to show you the results with this joint Blog Hop.

VivaLasVegaStamps December Challenge

I didn't know what to choose from the mood board at Viva Las Vegastamps. The Santa, Christmas outfits, fluffy hats, postoids, red, glitter, black and white, shades of gray, overstretch belt buckles, trikes, kids, Christmas morning, SANTA himself, stripes?

I had just posted the funny steam punk owl a couple of days ago, but not in December, so I decided to use it again, I love this image!

I stamped my owl on an ATC, this one with a striped outfit in Red and White, kept the rest of the "costume" B&W, went for "shades of gray" for the background and of course a fluffy hat :)

One more, this time the outfit is B&W with stripes, the background Red & white, again a fluffy hat, an overstretched belt buckle and a sticker sentiment as a little joke from my side :)

Happy Crafting!
