Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies in May

Hi Everyone,

guess what???
I am on the Happy Little Stampers DT for Anything Goes with Dies - a monthly challenge ( I am sure you are all familiar with the HLS challenges) run by Kylie, the sweet and talented owner of those fabulous HLS stamps and dies.
This is the first challenge and as already said its anything goes :) 
- but gotta use your dies!


So I challenged myself doing some inlaid die cutting with A Papertrey set that I got myself as a Christmas present and so far has been collecting dust....


I also did some dry embossing using a Papertrey embossing plate to give the card some texture. On the photo below you see I used shimmer card stock. The tiny sentiment is also by Papertrey


So come and play along - you can win a $15 gift certificate to get yourself some lovely HLS stamps!

Yay you! Well done for being on the DT of the HLS challenge. Love your card - I'm not a huge one for using dies, but I think I probably should more often. I love the inlaid technique on this card - perfect for a Christmas parcel. xx

Way to enter multiple challenges...wish I could do that. Anyway, can we say that not only fits the bill but the inlay is meticulously done. Adding that diagonal background is brilliant...really makes the eye focus on the present.

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
