The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #263 - P is for Pride

For our June Challenge we are celebrating Pride Month over at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, and we'd like to see RAINBOW colours on your projects!

Here's what I created:

I love this kitty from Catitude by Yuzu for MFT. I've lost the packaging for the rainbow die - it wasn't easy to use, so I may look for another one as the cut-out was so fiddly. 

I'm delighted to be linking to lovely Fiki's Show Us Your Pussycats Challenge #112. Such a fun challenge! The kitty in my card today is based on my friend's cat Rupert - he's a proper character and would definitely strut his stuff just like this!

Finally, here's another picture of Bruce from the Rescue. Isn't he gorgeous? I'm sure his forever home can't be far away with a face like that.

You're going to love the creations on offer from the SoSS team and our Queen of Snark, so please head on over and take a look!

Dani has chosen a fun theme for us to play this month

Challenge #99 - Christmas Critters

Here's what Dani made to get the party started...

You can find all the details about Dani's cute card over on her Instagram Account. I love the little mouse in a tangle of fairy lights. I'm sure this would be me if I didn't always leave the tree trimming to my husband!

I broke out some LOTV loveliness for my first card. 

For my second card I decided to create a festive trio of dancing cats from a favourite Jane's Doodles set. 

I volunteer at a Cat Rescue and often colour the cat images to look like our residents. Big boy Bruce has the starring role on this card, although in real life he's a shy guy who likes his basket.

Rudolph has a a sweet prize for his Random Raffle prize this month and he's offering some adorable critters to one lucky random winner.

Dani and I can't wait to see what you create for our new theme and very much hope you'll come and join the fun!

The Card Chain Challenge Reveal - May 2025

After a quiet start to the Sign-Up we had 21 participants who exchanged cards across the globe this month, and we even welcomed a new player!

 

All the cards exchanged this month used at least one of the following options:

 

Colour Palette Option

(Exact matching is not required.)

Sketch Option

(Orient as desired.)

Theme Options: Chickens / Smiles and Laughter / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Ribbon or Lace / Lacé

Here's how I played the options: I went with the theme option of Chickens, sprinkled in a little whimsy and then sort of picked-up the colour palette for the hens. 

The set is called Picket Fence Studios - One Hot Chick, but seems to be discontinued and out of stock wherever I look. Such a pity as these chicks are adorbs. I sent this card clucking all the way to Mia in Greece.

 

My sender this month was Imke in Germany and she sent me this little piece of wonderful...

Thanks so much, Imke, your card is a delight!

 

If you'd like to see the full Reveal grab a coffee and head on over!
