The Sisterhood of Snarky Stamper's First Annual Spectacular September Snark Off Blog Hop

Welcome to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers First Annual Spectacular September Snark Off Blog Hop

"We have found our people!

There is a one woman company, Rubber Dance Art Stamps, in far off Norway that speaks our language. I don't mean English. I mean SNARK! She makes a whole rubber plate of snark! This divine product of snarkitude must be shared, and we have accepted that challenge.

The plate is called "Sarcasm Superpowers" and it is obviously perfect for our Sisterhood. We want to share this awesomeness with you, so we our hosting our first blog hop, the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers First Annual Spectacular September Snark Off Blog Hop!"  Sister Lee

Here's a little bio about Rubber Dance Art Stamps:

"Rubber Dance is a home based stamp company in the beautiful south-east of Norway, and is run by yours truly - Bibi Lindahl. I have my own vulcanizer, the machine one uses to press rubber stamps (at some 150+ Celsius/300+ F and 2 tons pressure), which means I will never run out of stock (yay!), and I will always know that the stamps I ship out are flawless (hurray!). The raw rubber I use is of the highest quality red rubber, imported from a manufacturer in USA that is very popular among stamp makers, and my stamps are of course deeply engraved to ensure good and clean impressions when you stamp."

Here are the Blog Hop rules: 

Leave a comment on each blog, beginning with Lee, and ending with Bibi.
You have until Sept. 28th at 1155pm PST to complete the hop.  Enjoy!!!

We will use some sort of free computer tool to pick a random winner and announce it on Wednesday, Oct 1. 

You should have arrived here from Lynne's Blog.   

Here is my creation using the "Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys" Sarcasm Superpowers" stamp. 

The Clowns are a freebie from Freubels Freebies.  I found the monkeys on a search of "scary monkey" images.  The yellow CS was embossed with the Crackle folder by Darice.  I used Black Versafine ink on the "Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys" Sarcasm Superpowers" stamp.  The pointing finger hands are freebies from The Graphics Fairy.

Your next step on the blog hop is Donna's blog.

SoSS Challenge # 17: D is for Distressing

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge # 17 - D is for Distressing 

 

Edna seems a bit distressed with this challenge.  Don't be Edna and Scream!  Whether you do a lot of distressing. or just a little you can enter our challenge. 

 

I embossed some Tim Holtz Kraft-Core Nostalgic Cardstock and distressed it with sandpaper over the entire surface and edges.  I added more distressing with direct to paper inking. I cut a slit in the cardstock to insert the The Hand from Crackerbox Palace Stamps.  I did not use the entire stamp, just the hand. I found some playing card images online and printed them in three sizes, two for the front and one for the inside top (printed at 60% opacity).  I distressed both the cards and the hand with Distress Ink.  I used a label die to frame the saying, printed using the free Distress font.

Challenge #17 ends on Friday, October 3rd at 11:55 pm EDT   Don't be distressed, just enter your project at SoSS.    

You'll have a chance to win the auspicious title of Queen or Princess of Snark!    

You know you want to win it!  If you're our Queen, you can be our Guest Designer!

Wine: Doctor's Orders

Hi All!

I don't always follow my doctor's orders, but this is an easy one!  I just need to find a glass that big!  The image is Glass of Wine a Day from Bugaboo and was colored with Copics.  The sentiment was printed in the free font, Smilage and it's background was created in Pages.  The embossing folder is Fabric Weave from the Celebra'tions line at Spellbinders.  I just love this embossing folder...it looks so rich!

I'm entering this card in the following challenge:
Quirky Craft Challenge #18 : Red, Red Wine

Thanks for visiting!

SoSS Challenge #16 - O is for One: One Color

Welcome to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #16: O is for One-One Color

I think the subtleness of this card is due to working with only one color.  The beautiful sentiment is Love, Memory, Treasure from Crackerbox Palace Stamps.  The cardstock, background paper, ribbon, and brads are from my stash.  The ink is Peeled Paint Distress Ink.

Challenge #16 ends on Friday, September 19th, at 11:55 pm EDT   Link your project at SoSS.   

You'll have a chance to win the auspicious title of Queen or Princess of Snark!
