TAWS#35 and Less is More #134

Hi Everyone, 

I am playing again in the TAWS challenge - (scroll down for the Less is more challenge) - and in the Seize the Birthday challenge - anything goes Birthday. Below you can see the inspiration picture for TAWS. I was tempted to do the chalkboard technique, but then in the end decided against it - I wanted to keep it clean....



I used 3 of my TAWS stamp sets for this: 
Bird Brain, Jibber Jabber and All about YOU.




The white sentiment is heat embossed, the birds are colored with Copics. Two enamel dots to finish it of.

The challenge at Less is More is Washi Tape - so its going to be a quick card. I have some Halloween washi tapes and I decided to use them finally....



The stamps are Studio G and craft smart (Michaels)


I white embossed them and put tiny red perfect pearl dots as spider eyes - not sure if you can see them.

Thanks for stepping by!

Hi Cornelia,
It's amazing how you can keep your cards clean and simple - I tried it, but it's hard, I keep messing up :P.
Anyway, one of the cards I made was inspired by a post of yours, but I can't find it now. I think I copied almost everything from your card so I really want to link to that post.
It's a one layer card, where you had to make your own border. You made it using a mask. I can't remember the colour, but I think it was a leaf stamp / colour. And I also think it had the text "Enjoy the little things in life" on it. (That's the text that I put up on it, and I remember thinking the text in the card I saw was stamped much straighter.)
At least I hope it was on your blog that I saw it, else I don't know where to begin to find the blogpost... I hope you can help me with it!
greetings,
Debbie.

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) fiftee...

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!
