House of Cards Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,
can you believe we've come to the end of our third term here at House of Cards?!  We are saying a fond farewell to some of our DT members and feel so grateful to those staying on.  To say goodbye and thank you, we're celebrating with a blog hop!  You should have arrived here from the wonderfully talented Cohenna.  This hop will run FROM June 1ST AT 6:00 AM CST THROUGHJune 15TH AT NOON CST,  ANY CARD STYLE is welcome and we've got a gorgeous photo inspiration for your crafting enjoyment! 


Here's our photo inspiration~

And here is my card:

You can easily see what inspired me here - the picture frame and the pink flowers. I used this awesome digital stamp called Blossom 1 from our sponsor Stitchy Bear, magnified it and printed a part of it. I colored it with watercolors and added Stickles to the center pf the blossoms. The black frame I cut with a die by Simon Says. the birthday die is by Papertrey. Added Washi tape.

Blossom 1

And here you get to enjoy another view of my card ;)

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.
