Hello to all my Irish Friends!

Hi Everyone,

I am getting back into the swing of things....
Today I have a really green card - in honor of St. Patrick's Day!



I used this cool iStencil to make this card.

27-00107 R SC

I sponged it first, then added clear embossing paste and let it dry. Then I added some more color to the edges, making the clear embossed pattern stand out more. Added the "hello" die cut - its from Mama Elephant. The clover is a Marta Stewart punch.


Linking up with:

Stamping Royalty - going green
Cut it up - St. Patty's Day
Sparkle and Shine - see inspiration photo
Inkspirational - geometric
Stamping Smiles Designs - Tic Tac Toe - green, gold, photo
Double Click Skittles - lots of green
I love Stampin' Royalty Challenges

Happy Stenciling!

WOW, this is a really neat card. Love the stencil as well as the colors you used.
Is the card 3D, or does it just look 3D? Either way, it's cool!

Thanks for joining us at Cut it Up for our St. Patty's Day challenge!

I think I saw you use that stencil before, Cornelia. I was amazed then and amazed now. It is so cool looking and adding the translucent paste and darker edges really does make the center pop.
Sensationelle Karte, so farbintensiv und schön!

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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
