Inky Bird

Hi Everyone,

Lost Coast Designs has a cool challenge going on right now - splash of neon. That's just up my alley! And such a good excuse to pull out my LCD stamps!


I made the background with a Prima stencil, that has triangles in multiple sizes sponging with my Hero Art neon inks. The cool bird is by Lost Coast Design - put a googly eye on him, to make him less scary (mainly did that for Carol Mayne - I did not want to scare her with my card.... ). then sentiment is from Dylusions - I heat embossed it and cut it apart.


Added a strip of PP on the side.

Happy Stamping!

Bwahahahahhaha...that googly eye is the perfect addition to "non-scare-ify" your bird! He's quite fabulous - and that's a mighty high compliment coming from the Queen of Bird Terror! Neon triangles = perfect backdrop for your feathered friend! Awesome!
Hugs~c
(ps. Thanks for the Happy Mother's Day wishes, however, I'll have to trade them in for Happy Aunty Day Wishes..only a niece and nephew for me. No kiddos of my own. Then again, I do have my husband who, at times, is one big kid...*grin* Happy Mom's Day to you; hope you're spoiled and pampered to the nth degree!)

As I was reading your post, Tom walked by and said: hey that looks like the duck from the Dawn commercial!" He is so astute - and goofy. I for one think this guy is not scary at all, and just as cute, and clever as can be!!! LOve that sentiment!

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
