Happy Birthday Maria!


Another Blog Land Birthday Celebration!!!!!

Happy 50 Birthday Maria!
(from rieslingmama)

You are amazingly creative, witty and fun! I'm glad I met you through blogging. You are always an inspiration to me!
I wish you fifty more, my friend!



This cake I found for you on Pinterest - I thought it best reflects your style - innovative, clean and a bit wonky ;)

And here is my birthday card for you - I actually send you one through snail mail - that was before I got wind of the linky party that Shirley clevery organized. The linky will be up for 2 weeks, so anybody can join into this celebration.




Enjoy you BIG BIRTHDAY Maria!

I used the Papertrey Rainbow Stripes die with the inlaid die cut technique. The balloons are Mama Elephant - Party Kit, the sentiment is Papertrey Think Big Favorites.

I am also linking this card with CASology - the cue word is BLUSH
and Seize the Birthday  - anything birthday with optional stitches
Snippets Playground - use a snippet (balloons)

Oh Cornelia - I love it. The cake... looks like one I would make. You'll never see a perfectly frosted thing on my kitchen counter! And the dots banner - yep, so me. As for your description of my style... I wish I could go back and rewrite my Moxie Fab interview. I would LOVE to use "innovative, clean and wonky". As for those wonderfully shaded balloons sliding down the stripes, and all in shades of pink too... that is one fun birthday card! Thanks so much for this AND for the gorgeous embossed flower card which arrived just yesterday!

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

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...
