Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #104

Hi , 

its challenge time at Addicted to Stamps and More!

We have an easy one for you for this week - its CAS! Don't we all just love this! Although they are not always that simple to make....



I choose to do a one layer card and in celebration of Germany's world cup victory I decided to go with a soccer theme here..... Since I am German I naturally rooted for the German team - although I did not watch the game.... had better more important things to do ;)

The colors of the German flag are black, red and yellow - those ovals are actually my fingerprints - I did some generational stamping here. The sentiment is by STAMPlorations - Celebrate Artsy. The soccer ball - no idea....

We have a generous sponsor this week - its:

The winner will receive 3 free digis of her choice!

So come on over to the ATSM challenge blog  and get some inspiration from our wonderfully creative DT and we hope you find time to join in the fun!

I am also playing in some challenges with this card:

One-Layer Simplicity Challenge - Wave the Flag - I am waving the German flag here
Less is More - One layer card - Adapt A Fingerprint

Haha Cornelia, as soon as I saw this card, it reminded me of the world cup finals match. You had used the flag colors in a great way.

I knew as soon as I saw this that it was about the final. Stayed up to watch extra time, Germany's goalie is fantastic. Great idea, just about to post my LIM creation. :)

Love the card and the fact you "stamped off" your fingers to give the illusion of movement too

Great card Cornelia! I've been waiting for you to get those fingers inky ever since Saturday when the LIM challenge went up :)

We were also supporting Germany from the beginning here - great result. Although, like you, we didn't really see much of the football.

Hugs, Di xx

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! 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 same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
