Merry Monday #69 and Moxie Fab

Hello Everybody,

I have another Christmas card I made for the Merry Monday challenge #69 - the sketch is below.




This card would have been a lot easier, if I would have done it in the right order... I started out with the green paper, die cutting the openings with the Papertrey Take Tree die. Then I realized that I needed the red strips on the side and I wanted the paper doubled up, to give it more substance, so I fiddled around with the red paper, trying to die cut at the same level as the green paper, which I kind of managed to do.... the sentiment is from Hero Arts Happiest Holidays. And the felt ornaments I had in my stash - bought years ago in Germany...

I am also linking this up with the Moxie Fab Holiday challenge.

 And now some Calgary pictures - some contrast to Christmas - street art:












Cool, hu - I love it! I have more to share about Calgary in my next post!

Great take on the sketch, Cornelia! Love it. Isn't Calgary fun to visit? I used to live there and my parents are still there. We're going to visit this Christmas. :-)

Das sind ja wirklich wunderbare Fotos von Calgary. Du hattest bestimmt einen tollen abwechslungsreichen Urlaub. Hoffentlich kannst du recht lange davon zehren.

Und dann die Weihnachtskarte :-))) Ja ja, es geht schon wieder mit Riesenschritten darauf zu. Man kann gar nicht früh genug anfangen, für Weihnachten vorzubereiten.

LG Flo

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
