Two New Members and Two Cards

Hallo Everybody,

today I want to welcome 2 new readers to my blog:

Dewi from Indonesia

and

Nicole - BaNiKa from Germany

I am so happy you found me and hopefully you will enjoy your future visits here as well. I found a welcome picture for you in my "stash" - perfect for this time of the year:


Its a Dogwwood - they are flowering right now, but I took this picture 2 years ago when I visited the Walter Reeds Arboretum near my home in New Jersey.

--X--

But now back to cards.......



I made this card for two challenges. One is Less is Moore, which is a sketch challenge this week and the second challenge is Simply Create Too, where the theme is "All about Babies". I have copied the sketch below. The sentiment is from Kaisercraft. And since its "Anything goes" at Simon Says" I am linking this card with them as well.



The second card is done with the ink blowing technique that I tried yesterday (see details on that post). It is just too much fun not to do it again. 



The sentiment is from Papertrey - Modern Basics. I also used some Memory Box pearls. I am linking this card with the Make it Monday challenge #114

Thank you all for your lovely comments - you always make my day with them.

Hallo Cornelia!

Mensch, die Karten sind wieder klasse geworden!
Richtig süß, wie die kleine Giraffe oben aus dem Fenster linst.

Und die Farben auf der 2. Karte!! PENG, KRACH, wenn das mal nicht gute Laune macht - ein richtiges Farbgewitter :-D

Übrigens: Nein, ich bin dir nicht böse wegen dem Kommentar zu der Karte (du weisst schon welche ich meine ;-) ) - schließlich ist es Deine persönliche Meinung, und warum sollte man jemandem "Honig ums Maul schmieren", wenn einem etwas nicht gefällt :-)
Im Gegenteil, ich mag es wenn jemand seine ehrliche Meinung sagt (schreibt)!

Viele liebe Grüße, und ich freue mich auf alle weiteren Kommentare von dir ;-)

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! 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
