Eyelet Birthday Card

Hi, Crafting Friends

I needed a card for my daughters birthday, so what is better than combining a color challenge with something else?
That something else is the eyelet challenge over at Retro Rubber where my friend Susanne is GDT! Of course I had to play!!!!! I used the colors from this weeks Color Throwdown.


The numbers are dangling from gold threads- threaded through eyelets. The birthday die is Papertrey, as are the numbers. The happy is Paper Smooches - Sentiment sampler - my very first Paper Smooches set I bought several years ago....


We had one warm day today - 46 degrees, tomorrow night the predicted low is 1 degree - isn't that crazy???

Happy Stamping!

A fab card, sure your daughter will love it.
Glad we are not alone in the weird temp stakes.After a few days of almost double digits (9'C) we are back into negativity and ice!
Keep safe. :)

Ich denke, da wird sich deine Tochter freuen, eine sooooo schöne Karte zu bekommen.
Noch hebe ich alle gebastelten Karten auf, die ich bekomme/bekommen habe. Mal sehen, was ich damit mache, wenn es zu viele werden.
Da es heute bei uns schneit, kann es bei euch nur wärmer werden.
Liebe Grüße,
Flo

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) fiftee...
