PPA #186 and welcome to 3 New Members

This year already has been so good to me - I have 3 more new members, I just won the TAWS challenge #44 with THIS card and best of all I made the Stamplorations DT - I guess I don't have to keep this a secret, since it was posted on the blog. So lets greet the new members in order of joining:

jellybeanerz - so sorry, could not find a blog, but I will add it, if you let me know

Shery the owner of those gorgeous Stamplorations stamps (I linked the shop, so you can check them out yourself).

Sandi Munro, who in addition to her own blog is on the DT for Addicted to Stamps and More and Inkspirational

I am in awe of all this talent that is joining my blog - I hope you will like what I'll make the future. And here is my welcome picture for you:

I just love this - it is by El Anatsui, who had an exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum last March. He works with recycled materials - metal bottle caps in fact and creates those amazing pieces that look like fabric from the distance. I choose this ppicture, because it also fits the challenge I am playing with.

Its my first time to play in the Pals Paper Art challenge ever. I discovered that blog a while ago, but was too busy with other stuff.

So I pulled out my not yet used PTI set Sketched shapes (except the sentiment, which I have used a couple of times) to make this card.

I also added some of those matte Neat&Tangled gold sequins, which are so elegant.

Added some splatters and popped up the card with foam strips.

I am also linking this card with Bizzy Becs challenge - Anything Goes

Oozak - Blue tones

Simon Says - use something new

Creative Friday - Alles Neu/something new

And tomorrow I have some more news for you...........

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...
