STAMPlorations Inspiration #90

Hi Everyone,
its inspiration time at STAMPlorations!


My stamp supplies:
preview-SRDFondExpressions2   preview-TheBeesKnees-WingedThings

Fond Expressions 2, Winged Things

I stamped the butterfly onto my card stock and heat embossed it in white. Colored it in. Stamped the butterfly again onto a scrap piece of card stock and colored the wings and then fuzzy cut them. Glued teh wings onto the butterfly and added white gel pen accents as well as black accents to the antennae. Added the tiny butterfly. Added black splatters (should have done it beforehand....)


Took an old envelope and tore of a strip and glued it onto the bottom of my card. Heat embossed the sentiment and adhered it with foam tape.

From one dazzling butterfly showcase to another...and once again, I'm completely smitten! You've sparked incentive to bring this set out for a play! Love the colours...the layers...the 'everything'...

Oh dear...stunning focal point...you've got serious coloring skills. Looks as though it could fly right off the card. But what gets me is the mileage you get out of envelope interiors. This one has an awesome pattern.
what a beautiful butterfly! stunning card!

Habe mich gewundert, was der Streifen unten war... ein Stempel? Washi tape? Nein, es ist ein alter Umschlag! Super! Tolle Karte!

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
