Happy Birthday Shery!

You all probably know Shery from one layer cards, the lovely, generous and creative mind behind STAMPlorations stamps. Its her birthday today!

Happy Birthday Shery!

I hope you'll have a blast today. I wish you many more! 



Of course I used STAMPlorations stamps for this, augmented by some punches/die cuts
Vignette - Celebrate Artsy
Vignette - Its Your Day
Sentiment Builders - Celebrate
Holiday Artsy


So how about to get to know us a bit better? Nonni (the organizer of this birthday surprise) thought up some questions for us:

1) My favorite STAMPlorations stamp and why:

Well, that is a tough one - up to recently I would have chosen the Retro Mod set without a second thought, but the set I used here for this card is probably a close second. I just love the creative options those sets give me. Both sets are really unlimited in their use. Think of any card for any occasion and I can make a card using those sets.

2)  My favorite piece of writing or your favorite book (Shery is a writer) and why:

Oh god, what a question - one ???? book - I am supposed to choose ONE book out of millions, no category?
Lets do this differently:

Fiction: Barbara Kingsolver: Prodigal Summer - wonderful story telling intermixed with facts about nature (she has a degree in biology)
Non-fiction: Wild Fermentation by Sandor Ellix Katz - just got into that, great read and learned a lot
Travel: Bill Bryson: Neither Here nor There, A Walk in the Woods or any of his other book - hilariously funny
Cookbooks: Deborah Madison: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone - down to earth great tasting recipes.
Teen and young adult reads:  (yes, I read that stuff too - I have a 13 year old son at home) Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer - fun, fast, incredibly creative and captivating
Drama: Antigone by Jean Anouilh - read it a long time ago and it left a lasting impression.

There is more, as you can guess, but I  won't bore you any more.....

3) My message to the birthday girl Shery:

 Dear Shery, I am so happy to have "met " you and can be on your team. It has been amazing so far and as far as I can tell, it will continue to be fabulous! You are generous, fantastically creative, stimulating, wonderful - I could not imagine a better team to be on! Now go girl and celebrate - 
Champagne Glasses

Cheers!

 I am also linking this card with Seize the Birthday - anything goes

This card is sitting on my desk beside my monitors and it makes me smile every time I look at it. Call me silly, but I shake the card every so often because the fishy eye is just begging for it :o) It's a wonderful distraction! I so love it. PS: Must check out the authors on your reading list!

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

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...
