Happy Birthday Darnell!

The wonderful Darnell from djcardkreations is celebrating her birthday today! 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY you sweetheart! I wish you many more. I love seeing your new creations and your blogposts - they are a treat to read! You have inspired my at so many levels - thank you!
I am sure everyone knows Darnell - if not you better head over to her wonderful blog.....

Darnell, this is for you:


I hope you like it!



I got inspired by this weeks "Masking with die cuts" over at Make it Mondays. The super talented Erin Lincoln is showing us how to do this expertly. Its a great video to watch! So I went to "work" on this card. I diecut post it notes for masking, sponged around them and then stamped in the flowers, deliberately leaviing an off center white border around the stamps. the happy is die cut from a paint chip. All supplies are by Papertrey. Added some tiny white dots and some sprinkles of Mr. Huey.

There is a linky Party going on over at Ardyths blog Maskerade in honor fo Darnells birthday - you may want to join in!  And Bev is hosting a mega party for Darnell over at her blog Happy Dance - go over, say Hi and join in the fun!

Of course I have to link this up with another challenge...
Inkspirational - blue with white or cream

Also edited to add this card to the Wonderful Words Challenge over at Moxie Fab
and to Virginia's View challenge #5 - Die Cut

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) fiftee...

We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool!

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...
