Snippets Playground Challenge: 17th - 30th September

Hi Playmates!

I'm hosting the new challenge over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND for the next fortnight, so why not reduce your mountain of snippets and make something so that you can play along?

Here are some snippety cards made with my favourite flower stamp set (Aall & Create set #986 called 'The Good' by Tracy Evans). I decided to use up some white strips left over from cutting my own card bases.

The card sizes vary a little, but all measure approx 3" x 6".
Main image mounted onto a snippet of SU Pool Party card stock (centre card),
with the cards either side using up packaging for the mats!

DL and A6 sized cards.
Snippets used: black and white pieces of card and an inked up piece using an embossing folder,
plus some green patterned SU papers - all trimmed to fit.

The focal points of the above 5 cards started out life like this:

9 white snippet strips - uninspiring or what?!

Here are the 9 strips all stamped up.
The top 4 strips will be used to fussy cut flowers
for later use (like those seen to the right of them).
The bottom 5 strips are the ones I used to make the 5 cards shown in this post.

    

Congrats if you made it to the end of this longer post! 

I wish you a very happy day.

Sarn on Sunday!

Hi Playmates!

I have published RESULTS from the previous challenge, so please hop over to the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND to admire the top picks and discover which lucky playmate won the prize.

Meanwhile, here's a card full of collage for you to feast your eyes on!

Card measures 3¼" x 4¾"

The entire card is made from snippets of left over card and paper from other projects, all glued into place on the card front, including a leafy die-cut that was waiting to be used up.

The paddling pool has been a very popular hang out in the Snippets Playground during the UK heatwave this week, plus I've been adding extra ice to the Treehouse cocktails. It's all good!

Wishing you a very happy day. 

Flowery Thanks OLC

Hello lovely readers!

Today I have a One Layer Card (OLC) for you.

Card measures 5" x 5"

The pretty flower and surrounding foliage is from the multi-step stamp set 'Beautiful Day' by Altenew. 

The sentiment is from an Art Deco set by Woodware.

Snippets Playground Challenge: 3rd - 16th September

Hi Playmates

It's Sunday morning and time for a new challenge over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND where Miss Di is in charge for the next fortnight - shiny whistle at the ready in her attempt to keep us all under control!!!

My homework is a very positive ATC:

ATC measuring 2½" x 3 ½" made entirely from snippets.

The white snippet was stamped, coloured and mounted onto a piece of packaging.

The fox is part of Aall & Create’s 'Up Up & Away' stamp (set #467) and I watercoloured him using Distress Oxide inks. I think the sentiment was part of a magazine cover gift. I distressed the white edges with a Tim Holtz tool.

That's all from me today folks! Keep on using up those pretty snippets of yours, then come and play in the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND.
