Stamp Connection #19

Hi Everyone,

Connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Tanja from Little Art Cottage and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 3rd Sunday of the month and this is our nineteenth transatlantic get-together!

This time it was my turn to pick the requirements:
 and I picked

Foiling



I have to use those foil papers I bought - they are collecting dust....tsk, tsk, tsk....
I water colored my background, let it dry and foiled the sentiment on it - the stamp is by Neat&Tangled, as is the splatter. Splattered some ink on it as well and added Washi Tape


It really is easy to do. Not sure, why I don't do it more often. I love how it looks. I use some craft glue i have in my stash, not the special glue recommended. It works just fine, as you can see.




Linking up with:
Addicted to CAS - Ombre
My Time to Craft - no layers (not sure if Washi tape counts as layer...)
Craft for the Craig - two colors - pink and purple
Neat&Tangled - CAS
 
Lets check out  Tanja's artwork!

And then I want to add few thank yous here in the order of arrival:
THANK YOU That's Crafty - I won all those fabulous, wonderful sets over at The Craft Stamper last month. They sponsored the challenge - aren't they gorgeous?

Below is Suchi's fabulous fall card - came out of the blue without any occasion! How fun is that - gave me a BIG smile!


Now this card by Conil knocked my socks off - it is SPECTACULAR!!!!! Rainbow, fab layout, CAS - it has it all!


And then a wonderful little treat from my German blogging friend Gundi from Papierelle - a little chocolate Advent calendar  - to shorten the waiting time until Christmas. How sweet! And so pretty with those little Purple onion stamps! Woot, woot - although I don't know if I can refrain from eating the whole thing at once, LOL!


So thank you all - blogland is one wonderful place and I am grateful to be a small part of it and have you as my friends!


Happy Stamping!

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
