Paper Smooches - and more cards to showcase!

I have been so busy the last couple of days - no time to make a card.... This one I made a couple of days ago and did not find time to put this blog post together and time is running out on the Paper Smooches challenge - its anything goes.....


I used the Paper Smooches - Zoo Crew and Sentiment sampler for this card. The candle is from Michaels (I tilted the flame...) and the "make a wish" is by Avery Elle. I colored it with Copics and added  Paper Candy. 
I am also adding this card to the Snippets Playground
and to the Paper Smooches guest designer search for June

Oh, before I forget - the STAMPlorations May release blog hop is still going on - visit and leave a comment - there is lots of stamps to win

--X--

And now I wanted to share some more cards with you that I got from my blogging friends:

 This card is from Di from the Pixie's Snippets Playground - one of my favorite place to link up my card - if you are not familiar with it go and check it out - all you need to have is a snippet on your card - most of my cards have one on it, so I am there regularly. You can also win - I was the lucky winner of this fabulous heart die that you see on Di's card - thank you, Di!


This trendy watercolor card is form Susanne from Keep in touch! - I love the colors and the sparkly sequins. We are both German from the same area there and live in the US and are planning a get-together, but so far it has not worked out :( - our day will come!


This card is form Anita from My Papercraft World - you may have seen this beauty already on her blog - it is just gorgeous. there is this subtle sparkle and the stamping is impeccable - not to forget the beautiful colors! 


And lastly a card I just got today from my sister (no blog). She is very much in trend here with the watercolor background - so simple and yet so effective!


So thank you all - it is such joy to get a card in the mail - it is quite special to find a real letter buried among all the junk mail!
And thank you also for visiting - I am glad you took time to come by - thank you!

Bei den vielen Karten weiss ich ja gar nicht was ich zuerst schreiben soll, aber die Giraffenkarte ist super witzig,)
Einen schönen Mothersday und herzliche Grüße aus dem Rheinland Elisabeth

Die Giraffenkarte ist süüüüüüß!!! Am Besten finde ich (ich habe es erst beim zweiten Hinschauen entdeckt), dass die Giraffe die Kerze ausbläst!!! Genial!!! Liebe Grüße, schönen Muttertagssonntag.

Oh what a fun card Cornelia! I do love the giraffe blowing out the candle and how you've combined more than one stamp set so cleverly.

Glad you like your Playground prize :)

Hugs, Di xx

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...

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...
