DB - Masculine Anniversary Card

Do check out the cute anniversary card I've got over at the Doodlebugs WA blog today.  So cute!

SOSS #209 - U for Underwater

Hey, chums!  Are you ready for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #209 U for Underwater?!

I immediately thought of one of my snarky shark sets (That's right. I have more than one.  Wanna fight about it?)  The lights trailing from the great white's mouth cracks me up. Maybe a poor fisherman bit it (LOL) while decorating his boat or maybe the shark is getting ready to decorate his own abode. We'll just never know.

I hope you'll check out my nested mandalas card on the Birch Press Design blog.  It was a lot of work but I love the results!

ATSM #428 - Birthdays

It's birthday time at Addicted to Stamps and More!  Birthday cards are the ones I make the most after holiday cards. Now if only I would remember to mail them!  LOL.

I used sprays on the background and set that aside to dry. I then took my new Art by Marlene neon paints (LOVE them--fantastic applicator and amazing coverage and more vibrant than the pic!) and added a few lines of paint to scrap cardstock then used my brayer to spread it. It dried pretty fast, just a couple-three minutes.  

I then stamped my images and fussy cut them out and adhered them to the background. I printed the sentiment on my printer and used a Copic Multiliner to outline the words.

DB - Lift Those Flappies

I'm over on the Doodlebugs WA blog with an ultra cute lift the flap card.  That little doxie is trying so hard to reach that critter!

Winter Sports

I thought about putting the bear on an action wobble then realized that would probably raise the cost of postage due to thickness.  I don't want to price myself out of sending holiday cards!

I'm entering this in Winter Wonderland Winter Sports and Fab 'n' Funky #549 Feature a Creature.

SOSS #208 - L for Layers

Oh my goodness, how I love the card I made for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #208 L for Layers.  One of my sistahs said I should have colored his "carrot" blue.  So true!  What a lost opportunity!

My card is full of layers:  multiple layers of gesso, ink, and paint along with paper layers and embossed layers too.

ATCAS #218 - One Layer Card

The latest Addicted to CAS Challenge is #218 One Layer. I used a Marvy Snow Marker that puffs up when you heat it but I'll still count it as one layer if you will (and even if you don't!).

I used an MFT bird that I've had in my stash a year or two, having purchased this during holiday sales in either 2019 or 2020.  Yikes!
