Two cards- several challenges


When my son saw this inspiration picture from the very first colour me challenge he exclaimed - "you have to play in this challenge" - and guess what - he was right!


   
I took a very literal approach here, since that picture is just perfect! Here is my card:


Since it also kind of fits the sketch from the Friday Mashup I'm linking it there as well.


Materials:
 Die and sentiment by Avery Elle, 
stamp: Close to my Heart One Way Borders Flair
Paper Candi buttons

I am linking this card with the Snippets Playground - used several Snippets here

Here is the inspiration picture for this weeks Color Throwdown






I finally stocked up on my Neat and Tangles stamp supply and now own several sets! Yeahh, I finally can play better in the Neat and Tangled challenge, called Little Tangles.

The two stamp sets I used are Everyday Labels and Party Dots. I also used Washi tape, stuck it onto white card stock, since I did not want it to be transparent and punched a 2"circle. The sentiment is heat embossed. 


I am also linking this card with Creative FridayAlles Neu/something new

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) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car

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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
