Memory Box Christmas Trees

Hi Everyone,

another quick post from me - my eye still hurts when I spend too much time on the computer....

I did a quick water color background, layering on colors.


I die cut the pine trees from Memory Box using silver glitter paper. The sentiment is by Technique Tuesday, heat embossed in silver. I left that little white strip on the left side of the card for balance.



I actually made two similar cards - gonna show you the second one tomorrow :)))

This is gorgeous - very eye catching, and a wonderful pop of color. Love your sparkle trees. Thanks for playing in our Mod Squad Challenge this week.
I love the color background and the contrast with the black and silver! What a wonderful combination. Thank you for sharing!

I'm working in reverse order, so the breath-taken away from the 'newer' extends 1000000% to the 'older.' Your shimmery trees, pretty background, silver embossed amazing sentiment...smitten! Completely smitten! Put your feet up and heal, my friend!

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.

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!
