Time out with Apples

 I have not had such a long blog break in a long time - not counting vacation weeks, but my life has been just so awfully busy....Finally I sneaked up into my craft room to play in this weeks Time Out challenge - yes girls, I am taking TIME OUT to do just that......

As you can see on my card the theme is apples. I pulled out an ancient Hero Arts set, called September, which has this pretty apple in it. The sentiment is from the same set.


I heat embossed the apple outline and colored it with Copics and fuzzy cut them. Added glossy accents to make them look more yummy... The little green patch I sponged and made the lines with the edge of an acrylic block. 


And if you are wondering why two apples - I am also playing in the Extra Challenge at Time Out: "Double the Joy"! The occasion  - Bev, one of the wonderful DT members gave birth to twins, Josh and Ben! You probably know Bev from her own stamp company 

Uniko Studio

Congrats Bev - enjoy your boys, I know you will!

 I am also linking this card up with the current HOC challenge - I am on the DT - perhaps you want to share your creation with us over there, too!


 And I am linking this card with Di's Snippets challenge - add a snippet - the apples and leaves are

Ich liebe deine Karten!!! Sie sind immer so klar und ohne jegliche Schnörkel, das gefällt mir - und ist auch mein Stil. Woher nimmst du die Ideen immer??? Ich hangele mich an den Sketches und Challenges entlang, manchmal besser, oftmals schlechter.
Ich wünsche dir eine angenehme Woche mit etwas zeit nur für dich zum Erholen, Ausspannen, kreativ sein.
Liebe Grüße,
Flo

I saw this first on the 'twins' challenge and thought 'I hope she knows about our apple challenge'. So glad you did!! Those apples look so delicious with all their smooth glossiness. Really like the green sponging as the green lines as well underneath, really makes the apples stand out. So happy you joined us for both TIME OUT challenges and hope you come back again soon!

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! 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
