Stamp Connection #21

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 twenty first transatlantic get-together!

This time it was my turn to pick the requirements:

incorporate a newspaper or a magazine photo into your card



I used my favorite iStencil for this card - this optical illusion stencil. I picked my newspaper picture and used the stencil with clear embossing paste. After it was dry, I sponged dark blue ink over it and wiped it off the clear embossed dots. I used adhesive spray to adhere the newspaper picture to my card base. 

Added the sentiment - a CUTplorations die and the rest of the sentiment (also by STAMPlorations)






Linking up with:
Creative Friday - anything goes
Simon Says Monday challenge - be square (my newspaper picture is square)
Craft Stamper TIMI challenge - anything goes
Take It, Make It Challenge


Lets check out Tanja's artwork!


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
