Two FISH cards and a FUN evening!

 I had some ideas for the FISH theme at this weeks CASology challenge - and that's what I ended up creating:



I used my Sea Mates set from TAWS for the first card. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.


The waves I cut with Lifestyle Crafts die out of vellum. The waves are held together by a Washi tape and bakers twine. The eyes I made with glossy accents and on the whale sprout I put some glossy accents - does not really show in the picture.....

Here is a new challenge to link up with: 

Go visit Stempelgaudi and link up your favorite project from last month. Although this can be hard, to pick a favorite card ....For me it is.... I love them all......(almost all)


--X--

My second card I modeled after the childrens book SWIMMY by Leo Leonni - it was one of our favorites when my kids were little.....





The red fish are from Paper Source, the black fish I made myself out of left over scrap from a rubber stamp sheet. The sentiment is from TAWS - Sea Mates (again). The coral is by an unknown stamp company....

And here I wanted to share a picture from yesterday evening - on the left you see Sherrie  - on the right that is me - we met through our online blogs and eventually we discovered that we happen to live in the same town !!! How small the world is...... so eventually we managed to get together for a fun evening of making cards together and getting to know each other a little bit!


The card that came out of this I posted yesterday - I could not wait, since the challenges I made it for were near closing......

I love both your cards, Cornelia. Super cute and creative. Love the first one with dimension and orange and blue colors, cute scene. Love how you inspired by the book's illustration for the second card, beautifully done.

You look beautiful in the picture. Good you had great time with your friend. :-)

Liebe Cornelia,

deine entzückende Meer-Szene kommt genau richtig zu den aktuell tropisch-heißen Temperaturen in "good old Germany". Man möchte auf der Stelle zu den putzigen Fischlein ins Wasser springen und sich ein kühles Bad genehmigen ...

Herzlichen Dank für deine Teilnahme an der brandneuen Challenge 'Meine TOP 1 des Monats' und deinen tollen Beitrag. Ich freue mich riesig, dass du mit dabei bist.

Ich wünsche dir viel Spaß in der Challenge, beim Seiten-Hüpfen in den Challenge-Blogs und natürlich auch viel Spannung für die Auslosung des Einkaufs-Gutscheins.

Und wenn es dir Spaß gemacht hat, sei ab 1. August gerne wieder dabei in der nächsten 'TOP 1'-Challenge …

Bis bald und viele liebe Grüße
Moni

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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
