Holiday Card for BIC Challenge

Over at TAWS the challenge is almost over and I had to make a card - its one of my favorite challenges. Too bad its now only once a months....

I went with the glittery leaves inspiration photo:




I used my new TAWS stamp set Tri Me. The sentiment is from the set Holiday Sparkels. I heat embossed everything with gold, silver and copper embossing powder. Added a little bell on a gold string and underlayed my embossed panel with copper metallic paper. 



Its a different kind of Holiday card, but I like the modern, clean look of it. 
I am also linking it with Stempelkueche - atypical Christmas card
Taheera's Cure for the Monday Blues challenge - I think my card fits the chandelier in the photo

I also wanted to share two  cards with you that I recently got:




The butterfly card is from my friend Maria from rieslingmama and the tree card is from my friend Susanne from Keep in Touch. So thoughtful of you to send me a card - I really appreciated that. Thank you so much, it's nice to know people think of me in times of great sadness

By the way - there is still the Black Friday sale going on at STAMPlorations:


You may want to take advantage of it!

Die erste Karte glitzert und glänzt ja wie dolle!!! Da ist man total geblendet - aber schön ist sie trotzdem oder erst gerade deshalb.
Liebe Grüße,

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
