Spotlight on Trendy Feathers


 Hi, its Cornelia here today, 
playing with trendy feathers from STAMPlorations!




And that's how this card came together:
My supplies:




I die cut the Poppy fluffy feather from white cardstock.





Inked up the feathers and stamped around the opening, masking off the top part



Stamped the sentiment onto the die cut, cut 5 more feathers and glued them together. Still needed more definition so I sponged around the edges.



Assembles the card after adding a silk ribbon to the feather and some sequins. 


 You like it? I do. Now in retrospect you may ask why I bothered cutting out the feather first? Well, because I originally had something else in mind, but then things took  it own course and that was what I ended up with.... I usually have a vague idea of what I'm going to do and then  I see where it takes me.


How do  you make your cards? More structured? I'd be interested to know. 
Much fun to combine stamping with die cutting. I am sure you all know this already.... 
Have a great day and thanks for visiting. If you want to go over to STAMPlorations to check out their fabulous stamps and stencils click

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

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
