Blue with Washi




I made this birthday card for one of my sons good friends in Germany. I used Washi tape and the Inkadinkadoo Set Bird Assortment (97729)  - its one of my favorite sets from them, I have used it often. Those birds are just hilarious! I colored them with Prismacolor markers. And guess what - they also will go into the Simon Says Washi tape challenge and the CASology "Blue" Challenge. I thought I would skip on those challenges this week - too many other ones, too little time and I just won the last Simon Says challenge anyhow, but this card just begged to be put into those - haha....!!

And here is a card my blogless sister made for me - a thank you for our yearly Chicago trip in December. I LOVE it - I hope you do too!


I wish you a Fun filled weekend and Martin Luther Kings Day  - and here something funny for my German friends:

My son goes:"Montag ist Martinstag, nicht wahr?"

Sorry, too complicated to translate.

Wow - love that plaid washi (I think I have to, being married to a Scotsman! lol!) And you're right - the expression on those birds' faces are priceless! Thanks so much for playing along with CASology this week!

Ah, Washi tape, das ist etwas das ich noch nie ausprobiert habe. Ich warte schon sehnsüchtig auf mein Packerl, in dem normalerweise die ersten beiden drin sind.
Wie du deine Karte damit gestaltet hast, finde ich sehr interessant. Wenn ich sie mir so ansehe, dann denke ich an Strand mit einem Pfosten und zwei Strandläufern... ....den Spruch finde ich ganz toll!
...Martinstag ist am 11. November.

The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey.

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! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
