Another Baby Card

I liked my recent baby card so much - I had to make another one.....



I used the colors and sketch from the current CAS-Colours and Sketches challenge, see below. The baby elephant is more minty in real life - looks more blue in the picture.... I wanted to make a color neutral card, as the gender of the baby is not known yet.....


I again pulled out my Paper Smooches set Chubby Chums - its my go-to set when it comes to baby cards...... and stamped it on patterned paper. The cork is from Home Depot, I think its a shelf liner or something like that and has a sticky back - how convenient.... Stamped the sentiment - it's from the same set. The toe nails and tusk I accented with liquid enamel. 


I am also adding this card to the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge - Anything goes
and Less is More - use more than one stamp (I used 3)
And Dream Valley has Baby as a theme - I am on the DT - perhaps you wan to play as well!

Thanks for visiting my blog today :)

Liebe Cornelia, diese Babykarte ist allerliebst. Du machst wirklich wunderbare Karten und ich freue mich so sehr, dass mich deine Werke unversehrt erreicht haben. Vielen Dank, dass du uns bei unserer Kartenaktion unterstützt und ich bin noch immer sprachlos, dass uns wirklich Karten aus den USA geschickt wurden, für einen kleinen Verein im bayerischen Eichstätt. Wahnsinn! Du bist großartig! Vielen DANK und alles Liebe, Martina

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
