Vermont, a Card and 2 New Members!

I can say HELLO to two new members!

Ryn Tanaka -
the creator of many beautiful stamps the most famous of which is the waterdroplet stamp, that I have shown on this blog several times...

and

Claire -
who is with me part of the Simply Create Too design team and creates beautiful shabby chic cards.

Here are my welcome pictures for you - the photo above is a collage made from glass blowers molds and the picutre below is taken in Quechee, VT. The building on the side is the famous Simon Pierce glass blowing workshop, powered by the Ottauquechee River. The molds are exhibited inside.

I really enjoyed Vermont and I made a Thank You card for my friend with whom I drove up there. On our last day we did a short hike and walked by some birch trees. I took some of the bark with me - ironed it at home and made this card from it. she noticed that it almost has the shape of Vermont - put sideways.

The bird and branches are Memory Box dies, the sentiment is Hero Arts Fancy Script Messages, the butterfly a Martha Stewart punch.

Great card - love the background! Love your photos too. Waving hi to Ryn - her stamps are gorgeous, aren't they.

Thanks for visiting my blog, and for your lovely comment. Come back soon as I will be uploading some more photos - the building and architecture ones, and the wonderful textiles, are must-see!

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. 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
