Paper Smooches, 10 minute craft dash and 2 New Members!

I have great news - 2 new members have found their way  to my blog! Thank you for joining in and helping my blog grow! I want to extend a warm WELCOME to 


she not only makes beautiful cards, takes great photos but also specializes in calligraphy - I am glad you can't see my handwriting  - its nothing to be proud of....

and


an awesome paper crafter. Right now she does a year in review - hop on over and see her beautiful work.

And as customary I have a welcome picture for you. I took it in Chicago, where I attended a conference at the McCormick Center a few week ago. This glass work is by Costas Varotsos, a greek artist, who does just amazing things with glass.



I hope you like it as much as I do. But if not maybe my card puts a smile on your face......

Its ANYTHING GOES at Paper Smooches this week. By far my favorite kind of challenge.... I have a couple of kids birthdays coming up, so I pulled out my brand new Zoo Crew set to make this card.



That hippo just makes me smile. The sentiments are Sentiment sampler and Zoo Crew. Added some Washi tape and sequins. The hippo is colored with Copics. I photographed it twice to show the sparkle of the sequins better....



This was a very quick card. It took me 9 minutes and 43 seconds, but only because I took my time with the sequins......

I am linking this with the 10 minute craft dash - also anything goes. I am sorry to see the craft dash go - its their last challenge :(

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!

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

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
