Happy 4th of July!

Hi Everyone,

 are you enjoying your 4ht of July? I hope you do! It has been the coolest ever since I have been here for us - but warm enough to be enjoyable and to go to the pool (which I did after working most of the day....)

I have been staring at the sketch for this week's Paper Smooches Sparks challenge for the entire week - no idea of what to do - until the threat of Mr. Linky closing - that always gets my imagination going....so I did a card in patriotic colors:




I used the stamp set Super and used the matching die. Some Washi tape and that's it.
Here is the sketch:


Also linking up with:

Brown Sugar - Red, white and Blue
Frosted Designs - Red, white and Blue with a twist (old Washi tape - brand new dies)

Less is More - RED, WHITE & BLUE

Cornelia, Had to smile at the idea of Mr Linky getting the motivation in gear for this cute patriotic card. I was much the same with the card I posted for 4th of July. Love the washi tape trimmings...and the way you've used the cityscape die and placed Mr. Super over the whole. This is just a fun & most patriotic card. I LOVE it! TFS & glad you were able to relax in the afternoon. Hugs

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
