So Suzy Challenge July/August

Hi Everyone,

onto a new challenge at So Suzy and Crackerbox stamps. The theme is Christmas in July.

I am sure with that heat you can use some cooling off, making Holiday cards....

I stamped the cool deer stamp and colored it with Inktense. Added white gel pen accents.  Added the sentiment and some Washi tape.

Hopefully I'll see you at the challenge!

The challenge will run from the 15th trough the 14 each month.
You can use ANY stamp, just need to follow the theme.
If you use So Suzy Stamps or Crackerbox Palace Stamps you will have a double change to win.
Winner will be announced the 15th on the next challenge.
Prize will be a $25 Gift Certificate from So Suzy Store.
All projects need to be new and the link need to be directly to post or gallery.

Happy Holiday card making!

Muse Christmas Visions #104

Hi Everyone,

last time I did not find enough time to play along with my teamie over at Muse Christmas Visions, but I couldn't let this current opportunity pass again..... 

Our current Muse is Kimberley, who made this cute card:

I don't own little girl stamps (not my thing), so I replaced her with a fox (Michaels). Went with a similar color scheme for the background (Hero Arts). Added the sentiment (Ellen Hutson).

So come and play along! You'll have lots of time, the linky list closes at 7:59 AM EST on Monday, July 23rd.

See you at MCV!

So Suzy Stamps - Leafy Birthday Wishes

Hi Everyone,

again, I pulled out some of my older So Suzy stamps for this card. They are just so beautiful and need some love......

Especially that Maple Leaf - my absolute favorite!

I heat embossed it in white.

Added the Chestnut Leaf, just stamped with Versamark.

And lastly the Mini Spray, stamped in black. Added the sentiment, heat embossed in white and a little left over stripe of patterned paper. Also added a wood bird from my stash. Lastly I trimmed the Kraft paper before mounting it on a white card base.

A simple card. Hope you like it!

Happy Birthday with Katzelkraft

Hi Everyone,

It's Katzelkraft time!

For this card I used the Balloons and combined it with Cat #8. I stamped the cat and the balloons (with some masking). Used masks and added my cloudy background with a MFT stencil. I colored it with Inktense pencils. 

Cat #8, Balloons

I hand drew the balloon strings, since I did not want to have to fiddle with the ones from the set..... Added the sentiment with stamps from my stash.

If you feel the urge to buy any Katzelkraft products, you can also order them in the US from those companies: Topflight Stamps, Frantic Stamper or Lost Coast Designs

Happy Stamping!

Stamp Connection #39

Hi Everyone,

Connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Tanja from Little Art Cottage and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 3rd Sunday of the month and this is our ninth transatlantic get-together!

This time it was my turn to pick the requirements:
Paper clips

As you see, I took two paper clips and turned them into little stick figures with googly eyes. I adorned them with Impression Obsession die cuts. The sentiment is by Avery Elle. A strip of patterned paper at the bottom to ground the card.

I love them! Such a cute little pair!

Lets check out  Tanja's artwork!

Happy Stamping!

Big Fish

 Hi Everyone,

I saw the challenge at The Male Room and knew I had to play along...

 The theme is fish.

I fairly recently bought this stunning stamp from Stampscapes and made a few cards with it, that I have not yet shown. This is one of them. Sponged on photo paper, stamped and fussy cut the fish. Added white accents and the sentiment.

Trimmed the card stock and mounted on a white card base.

Happy Stamping!

Shery's Birthday Hop

Hi Everyone,

you all know Shery, the owner of STAMPlorations. Guess what? It's her birthday today and she sure deserves some cards for this special occasion! So the DT got together to celebrate this special occasion with a little hop!

For details, go and visit the STAMPlorations blog.

I wanted to use my favorite rose again - you can find it HERE. the Cutplorations die is HERE.

I heat embossed the roses in gold and used Inktense to color them. Fussy cut them. Heat embossed the happy and used gold foil paper for the word die. I cut the wood paper panel with the medium sized stitched nesting die. Added an enamel dot.

Happy birthday, dear Shery, I hope it is going to be your best ever! I wish we could have some cake together, but unfortunately this picture will have to suffice.....

Just in case you want to order, use code STAMPGIRLCORNELIA

you will get 20% off on all stamps, stencils, and dies on all regular- and sale-priced items in the store.

Happy Hopping!
