So Suzy Themes and Techniques January Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year to all of you!

We have a new feature at So Suzy Stamps called

Themes and Techniques
and for January its going to be seasonally appropriate:

  • Theme: Baby It’s Cold Outside
  • Techniques: Vellum (use vellum in your project)

My stamp supplies:


I decided to combine the theme with the technique.

I started out with heat embossing the Blowing Snowflake Tree stamp with ultrafine white embossing powder.


Added the sentiment, using my Misti - 
I want a good black impression of that, which means repeat stamping.


Sponged distress ink around the tree and added punched out vellum snowflakes - the vellum I had colored with alcohol inks, but it did not work... got really crumply and I did not like it


Still wanted something else, so I die cut a Memory Box border die with vellum and added it to the top of my card


To give it some sparkle I added Stickles. 


 It turned out a little busier than I normally like my cards...

Go and check out all those fabulous inspiration cards our talented DT made!

Wunderschön, wie der Spruch die Karte wiedergibt - oder umgekehrt!
Was mir auch sehr gut gefällt ist die aus Pergament gestanzte Bordüre, sie wirkt hier so federleicht!
Happy New Year!!

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
