STAMPlorations CASEplorations March

Hi Everyone,

come and CASE with us here at STAMPlorations!

Our guest designer for this month is going to be the one and only Betsy Feldman. I am sure you all know her from Papertrey and from her blog Paper Scissors Superheroes

Here is my CASE of Betsy's card:

Looking at this side by side I should have taken a more orangey yellow....oh well, funny that your mind thinks you have it right, but reality proves it wrong :(

I just love her card - the beautiful color combination and the soft, airy feeling - that's why I choose butterflies for my card. I also wasn't sure if water coloring would work with that mask, so I decided to play it safe and sponged.

My supplies:

Anita made another beauty and our amazing DT has quite some inspiration to offer! Go and check it out!

So you want to play along? Case Betsy's card (this is a change from the prior rules) and link it up HERE - you have the whole month to join in! And of course - there are prizes to win!

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!
