Black/White + Splash of Color

Ahhh, the guys in my house left me for the weekend (they are having some serious FUN together), my daughter will be with her boyfriend and I will have almost an entire weekend for myself. Guess what I will do???

But before I want to say "Hello and Welcome" to my latest members on my blog 

Susan and Joy

Rosi (Daen'Ys) did that when I joined her blog and I found that just so very nice. I get so excited when somebody new joins my blog, so I wanted to say thank you for making my day brighter. I hope you visit often and like what you see. See Rosi, I am an old copy cat, but that was such a nice thing you did!

So this card is for all of you (including my slightly "older" members):

Of course I also will link it to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Black/White + Splash of Color. I had so much fun for and more ideas for essentially the same challenge by Less is More last week, so using the same theme is just up my alley!

 











I ran the black paper with a Sizzix embossing folder through my Big Shot, directly applied white ink onto the embossed areas and glued the paper onto white card stock. The punches are from Fiskars (heart) and Paper Shapers. I used paint chips from Home Depot for the punched shapes and them I applied a thick coat of Glossy Accents  onto the hearts. That shows better on the detail picture. The sentiment is Paper Smooches (Christmas sampler), which I heat embossed.

Hi Conni,

freut mich dass dir die Art wie ich meine neuen Verfolger begrüße gefällt und ...
...."copy cat" gefällt mir *lol*

Sehr schön und edel ist eine Begrüßungskarte. Die zwei Herzerln sind wunderschön und das embosste hast du toll gemacht.
Ich hab so was noch nie probiert, die Farbe direkt auf die Prägeschablone aufzutragen... der Effekt ist super, da muß ich doch mal ein bisschen rumexperimentieren!
Gut auch das ich bei dir vorbeischau, die Challenge bei der du da mitmachst interessiert mich auch. Ich hab da nämlich eine Karte die super gut zu Less is More gepasst hätte aber die Idee dazu kam mir erst heute als ich eine Karte zu meinem Sketch bei der Bastel-Elfe gemacht habe.
Kennst du dieses Forum auch?
Hier gibt es zwar nichts zu gewinnen, aber der Spaß bei der Sache ist immer da und wir tun einfach so als ob. *gg*

Ach...Cognac pur ist mir zu stark, ich mag ihn ganz gerne mit Schweppes verdünnt...

Wie ich lese hast du dein ganzes Wochenende zum Kartenbasteln! Schön... dann gibt es bestimmt viel neues bei dir zu sehen!
Ich muß noch ein paar Tage warten, dann habe ich ab Dienstag die ganze Woche für mich allein *Augenroll*
...mein Mann fährt mit zwei ehemaligen Schulkameraden in den Süden Frankreichs, um die Rally von Monte Carlo zu verfolgen. Er war in seinen jungen Jahren selber Rallyfahrer aber auf kleinem Niveau.
Jetzt spielen wir beide Tennis, das ist nicht so gefährlich... ;-)

Uiuiui, schon wieder so ein Roman den ich dir schreibe....

Hab ein schönes und kreatives Wochenende

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!

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

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
