Sarn's Sunday Snippets - 27-07-25

Hi Playmates!

After messing around sliding into the paddling pool and splashing about, I managed to get some homework done!

A6 Sized card

Details:

  • Main panel features an ancient Rubber Romance wooden stamp - I think it was called Julia (stamped in VFC Pine Cone ink). She was coloured using a water brush and SU Rich Razzleberry ink. The book was coloured with Vintage Photo DI.  I added a small Happy Birthday sentiment (details lost in the mists of time!). Die cut using Heffy Doodle Stitched Rectangles.
  • Main panel mounted onto a snippet of brown card at a jaunty angle!
  • Snippet of torn burgundy patterned paper added across card front.
  • Ancient SU floral stamp stamped three times across the bottom of the card using SU Rich Razzleberry ink.

Di has published RESULTS from the previous challenge, so please hop over to the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND to admire her top picks and discover which lucky playmate won the prize. There's still nearly a week left to play in the current challenge if you haven't already done so.

Snippets on Sunday - an ATC

Hi there!

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. There's still nearly a week left to play in the current challenge if you haven't already done so.

ATC 2.5" x 3.5"

DETAILS:

  • 2.25" x 3.25" Snippet of paper from the 13Arts "End of Summer" paper pad, glued to a black snippet of card measuring standard ATC size of 2.5" x 3.5"
  • I used a sentiment stamp from That's Crafty's "Nature's Gatherings" set. It's one long line in reality, but I used Washi Tape to mask off and ink separate parts of the sentiment in order to make it two lines which better fitted the small space available. 
  • The sentiment was stamped with VFC Nocturne ink, then heat embossed using clear embossing powder.
I'm also entering this ATC into the current challenge for Tag-Along & ATCs where the theme is "In the Garden" (or anything goes) - with a lovely prize on offer.

Sunday Snippets - another bird card!

Hi Playmates!

Miss Di is in charge of the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND for the next fortnight - so why not skip over there to find out what lovely prize she is offering, as well as all the details on how to enter. 

My homework uses up just two snippets, but they make a big impact on the card front along with a larger birthday sentiment. I thought this would make a good masculine birthday card - which I always find harder to make.

A6 Card

Details:

  • Unbranded bird die from Temu, cut from a masterboard snippet.
  • Spellbinders Wonky Rectangles die used to cut a navy blue snippet.
  • Birthday sentiment from a Visible Image "Birthday Wishes" stamp set.
