Less is More #154 and Welcome to two New Members


I am happy to tell you that my blog has grown again and two new members have found their way over to my blog! I want to send a warm welcome to 
Sandra
and 
Debra

Both are accomplished stampers and their blog are fun to visit - lots of inspiration to be found - hop on over, if you have time. Thanks Ladies for joining my blog. And as always, I picked a welcome picture for you:



This masterpiece can be right now found at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and is knitted by Tatyana Yanishevsky. I took the picture from the internet (usually I take my own), but the way it was hung there made it impossible to take decent pictures..... It quite amazing and was definitely worth while the trip. I hope you like it. I certainly do. So intricate, this Tigerlily, quite amazing!

But now,back to card making...

I made this for the Less is More challenge - its one layer hearts this week. 





The little hearts are stamps by Judith, the beautiful ampersand is a stencil from TCW and the  sentiment is Hero Arts You and Me. I spritzed it with glimmer mist and added glossy accents to the hearts. It was very quick to make the card, although it took me forever to come up with something I liked....

I am also adding this card to the Oozak challenge - Love
Simon Says Monday challenge - Anything goes
A Blog named Hero - New Year - New Stash - used my brand new stencil
CAS Colours and Sketches


Have a good night and dream about stamps.........

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! 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...
