Just Fold It!!!

 Welcome to another new monthly challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and here is Edna to introduce the new theme.

Edna has been very busy folding newsprint into a Hat or is that a Boat on her head, do you remember making these paper creations as a child? Well we don't want a newsprint hat/boat we want to see some Fun or Fancy folds. I love making different folds I find them easy and fun so here is what fold I did.

It's a Circle Easel card and I finally had chance to use the House Mouse stamp and I found this fruit designed patterned paper at Dollarama and matched perfect the sentiment I found on Pinterest, used more circle dies and popped it up to hold the top portion of the card.

Close up of the sentiment, it's a bit out of focus so your eyesight hasn't gone downhill.  Since I used my favourite "meeces" I toned the snark.

Side view so show ow the easel part works.

Best part it folds flat for mailing as long as you don't pop things up too high and it fits in a square envelope.

I'm adding this to:

Fractured Mini Slimline Cards.....

 Hello again, yes these Fractured cards are really addictive and I tried the technique on a mini slimline card. I love the mini slimline cards for putting a bit of "folding money" in it fits perfect with no folding an end over. While searching for something in my stash of "stuff" a long diamond die set popped up, never even been taken apart, so you know it's a NBUS. When I saw it I immediately thought I could make a fractured mini slimline card using it instead of a square, it did take some extra time to cut the 1/4 inch strip ends so the next one fit perfect. I did use just a single piece of patterned paper as it was my first try, next I will try one with different pieces of paper. 

Of course I needed to use my house mouse Easter stamps, I coloured and fussy cut (what a nightmare) and popped them up of the diamond shape. Both patterned paper was from 2 different paper pads from Bo Bunny.

This one has Maxwell Mouse holding his supply of Easter Eggs. Beside the card is the set of Diamond dies now detached from each other but I need to get them in a CD case with a magnetic pad. 

I think this is Monica Mouse having a nap after eating all the  filling from the Easter Creme Egg.

I am entering this in these challenges:

NBUS ~~ Challenge 61

S is for Snarky

 Welcome to the March challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and I'm ready to SNARK Mother Nature I'm sure she is off her meds or need new ones, ya never know what kind of day you have until you step out the door and my tulips are confused. So I will let Edna announce the theme for you.

 

Don't you think we need one of these T-shirts? I would wear one.

Well dug out my Snarky Cats and used a favourite Sheetload of cards design from January 2023 for a mini slimline card, these make perfect money holders. The plaid patterned paper was a scrap that was on my desk, the blue layer a scrap from my paper file drawer. The image and both sentiments was a scrap of heavy 110 lb. cardstock. I used word bubble dies (stampin'up) to die cut the one sentiment.

Close up of the sentiment and cat.

No inside sentiment yet as I was running low on time and it's too late at night, I promise to finish it tomorrow as I have a bunch of cards without sentiments and I find it is much easier and faster to do it all at the same time as it is to go to sign a card and find you need to finish it...trust me I have been there and done that and will probably do it again.

Do You Want To Build A Snowman?

 Welcome to the February edition of the monthly Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, it must be the 1st Saturday of the new month because there is a New challenge.

Awesome graphics by Lee.

As you see it's W is for Winter although here in SWO it's been hit and miss with the snowflakes but I don't think I have seen the sun for weeks, it's wet, damp and dreary, it's looking like we might see some Sun on the weekend. So here is my offering for the W theme.

I coloured the grumpy kitty and did some fussy cutting on it to make the snowbank, I had bought a paper pad that is filled with galaxy backgrounds so used one, since I was in a time crunch to get it done, now looking for a scrap to use I found this snowflake embossed piece the perfect size. BONUS.  The sentiment also came with the set so I stamped and cut it with one of the speech bubble dies from Stampin' up. 

Close up of the sentiment.

Finished the inside with a stamp from a set from Elizabeth Craft Designs. and a scrap of the the galaxy paper.

Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge ~~ Decembere.

 Welcome to the December Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge and if you have read the main blog you will already know that the challenge blog will be on an extended hiatus. Check the main blog for all the information. So here is my final offering for the challenge.

As you see the challenge is Anything Goes with the option of Festive Animals and who doesn't love critters all dressed up for the Holidays 

I do love my House Mouse images and use them any time I get a chance and this little critter is so adorable with his "berry" nose and branches for antlers. I used the "Softly Falling EF: from Stampin'up for the background and a snowflake circle from Memory Box.  The jury is out on whether I am putting a sentiment on the frond, perhaps a small silver sentiment as not to take away from the focal point, What do you think?

I finished the inside with the sentiment that went with the image which is a Stampendous Clear Mini stamp set (I have quite a collection, Christmas and more.)  I added a couple of pieces of the glitter scraps and a sticker snowflake.
