Dream Valley Challenge #86 - Summer

Hi Everyone,

Dream Valley's new challenge is opening today - the theme is Summer - perfect timing I would say, that's what we have right now here in New Jersey and what a wonderful summer it is this year!


I did some tone on tone stamping here - using a striped background stamp by Market Street Stamps  called Candy Cane.  The flowers are by Stamplorations from the set Eclectic Florals, that I fuzzy cut. Added some Paper Candi, colored with Copics. The sentiment is by Papertrey - Signature series Flower.


Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is proud to sponsor this challenge


Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and owned by Robyn Weinrib.
Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion
Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to award the winner 3 digital stamps!

Now come on over to Dream Valley and let our wonderful DT inspire you and perhaps I'll see your creations on the blog - looking forward to that.

This is just fabulous, Cornelia! Love how you combined the sketch and inspiration photo. I haven't been able to get in my craft area for awhile due to the new puppy. I'm going through withdrawal! LOL. Anyway, it is a lovely card. By the way, congrats on your top pick at Inkspirational! :-)

So bold and beautiful, Cornelia ... I always forget about tone on tone and this looks fantastic, so I need to give it a go! A stunning take on the inspiration! Anita :)

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
