Casual Friday with Snippets

It has been ages that I played in the CASual Friday challenge - time to get back into it! I made this card "on commission" and there were very specific requirements about the colors and the scripture in front. It was kind of difficult...I thought the colors are Halloweenish and the scripture text does not really match. So I took a deep breath and approached it like I would any challenge and I actually really like the result of it.
 
 
 
I used a Sizzix Embossing Folder. The stars are cut from glitter paper with Simon Says dies. I printed the scripture text on my printer and went around the sides with blue ink to make it stand out better. Some silver thread to bring it all together.

As you can see below I made a whole bunch of them - but the one for the challenge has only
8 stars....
 
 
 
 I am also entering those cards into the Simon Says Wednesday challenge - Anything goes
and the Snippets playground - use a snippet

I love the stars Cornelia! The cards turned out great given the odd requests -- I could totally see this as a non-Christmas card -- maybe a You did it! type card.

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

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
