Kiss Me, I'm Irish!


Hi everyone! Bibi here today, and I know I'm a little early using March colours ... (think Paddy's Day), but when I saw that Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers had a challenge right now where kiss is the theme, I just HAD to make this Irish inspired kissie-kissie card:


An Irish giraffe? Why not! That stamp has become one of my favourites so she will continue to show up, unannounced and unexpected.

I made the Shamrock using three heart stamps, stamped with green ink and coloured in with a lighter shade. I made its stem by swooshing the green ink pad across a piece of cardstock, then cut it out in the thickness I needed.

The text is printed out, using a free font from dafont.com (love that place!).  




The giraffe is popped up with pieces of foam tape underneath.

I finished off my card with some green fibers attached around the spine (is it called "spine" when we're talking about a card?)


I'm entering my card to:

Thank you for the inspiration, Snarkies!

 XOX,
Bibi

PS: I am not Irish, although my shoulder's tattoo of the Irish harp 
and a tiny shamrock suggests otherwise:

I got it in Dublin over 20 years ago and it has faded a lot since then, but my love for Ireland has not!

Updated February 24th: 
My card won me the honourable title of Princess over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!!

This one is fantastic!!! It is so cool. The giraffe's glance goes perfect with the sentiment. She looks super self confident.

Thanks, Donna! ♥ Married on Paddy's Day, that is so cool! Did you wear a green dress? ;) I used to dye my hair green on March 17th, back in my younger days when I celebrated the day at an Irish pub in Oslo. Glad I found your challenge in time!

I love this card! Since everybody is Irish on St. Patrick's Day, of course your giraffe is. ;) The background behind him is so cool, too. Thanks for joining the fun at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (You know the sisters love their Rubber Dance stamps!)

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop: ...

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...
