Hugs and Kisses

Hi Everyone,

I am playing in the February challenge over at Joy Clair - shades of red is the requirement! Since Valentin's Day is coming up I decided to stick with that theme:


I used on of my favorite Joy Clair stamp set for this card:
Its called Hugs and Smiles

I inked it up with various distress inks and spritzed it with water and stamped it into opposite corners. Took a piece of plastic and stamped the rest of the ink from my stamp on it, spritzed again and dabbed it in between my stamped images. Let it dry. Added the heat embossed sentiment and a die cut ampersand (Papertrey) as well as gold thread.


Linking up with:
Joy Clair - Shades of Red
AAA Cards - Love
The Paper Players - Valentine
HLS watercolor challenge - used a little die


Happy Smooshing and Spritzing!

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

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
