Thinking of You with Dryer Sheet Flowers

Hi Everyone!

I'm sure by now you realize I am a Snarky Sister!  Well the Sisters got together and talked...We. Like. To. Talk., and decided we had to find some people and have a blast!  We thought let's party with Just Us Girls!  By the way, with that acronym,  J.U.G.s, we new we were going to have an  awesome time!!

This is the first card I made with die-cut flowers from dryer sheets.  I have tried other dryer sheets techniques, but this one was a little more difficult than I had expected.  There were a few different shim trials before I had the flowers cut out completely.  This might be due to the small size of the Tattered Flowers or because of the composition of used dryer sheets.  I tried unused dryer sheets and although they cut out easier, I didn't like the stiff texture.

Prior to cutting, I painted the dryer sheets with Tim Holtz Distress Paints.  The card base is from Stampin' Up and the DP is from the Daphne's Closet Collection by Lawn Fawn.  The sentiment is from Tim Holtz.

Quiry Crafts Guest Designer -Springy Spring Sheep

Hi All!

This is my second post as Guest Designer for Quirky Crafts and a reminder to enter the Quirky Crafts Challenge #9 - Something beginning with S!  You have until midday on Saturday, May 9th - UK time or 6:00 am CDT.

 

I just love the Springy Sheep image from Bugaboo's Scene it - Happy Spring to Ewe.  I printed the Springy Sheep image on X-Press paper and colored them with Copics.  The flowers, bumblebee and butterfly where highlighted with a Clear Glitter Spica pen.  It's difficult to photograph the cool Shimmer effect! The patterned paper is Daphane's Closet - Petite from Lawn Fawn.   I added a ribbon and a frog eyelet from Eyelet Outlet since frogs are very Springy in Spring.  The creek near my house is full of Springy Spring Frogs who are Serenading me every night.  I love it!  The Springy Sheep are enjoying, or at least I think so, their Springtime fun.  I hope you are enjoying your Spring!

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #7, "Y" is for Your Mama

Hi All! 

Welcome to Challenge #7 at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!  It's "Y" is for Your Mama-Make a Mother's Day card. 

 

I made two cards for the "Y" is for Your Mama Challenge.  The first is snarky using the Glass of Wine a Day image from Bugaboo and patterned paper from Daphane's Closet Petite from Lawn Fawn.  The free font for the saying is Fontdinerdotcom Loungy.  I printed the image on X-Press paper and colored it with Copics.

This card is my non-snarky card.  The woman stamp from Viva Las Vegas Stamps!  I don't know the name of it.  The cardstock is from Club Scrap, the bling from Prima, and the saying was printed using the free font Summertime.  I stamped the woman on X-Press paper, colored her with Copics, and fussy cut. The tissue tape is from my stash.

Visit the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for all the details and check out the awesome artwork the rest of the DT has created!
