Delightful Mail

Hi Everyone,

I want to share a few cards and this delightful box I got from my blogging friends. Apparently the post office cleaned out their storage - it all arrived at the same time



I got this wonderful succulent box from my friend Rosi from Let's take Time and stamp with Daeny's from France. WOW!!!!! It looks like real succulents! Look at all the lovely little details - the blossoms, the moss, the shiny Washi tape! This is just one delightful present. I also happen to love succulents. THANK you Rosi!


By the way - she did not stop there. Her little package also contained a matching card


and, because one card was not enough - a separate Easter card - how fun is that/! The Easter card is hand-drawn. I am always wondering why people who can draw that well need stamps... I wish I could do that!


The next package arrived from Germany from my blogging friend Gundi from Papierelle.
It contained this amazing drawing from her son Benedikt - I think he got his mothers talents (or even more?) Quite impressive, isn't it - the proportions, the expression - just super!


And again that was not enough, no he also included second card  - now how much fun is that one? Those delightful party animals paired with macaroons, yum!


And that was also in the package:
A wonderful spring card and some stamping goodies, beautiful wrapped - especially with those chocolate Ladybugs :)


Such an adorable stamp set - and the best thing is that I don't yet have it!


And again I got two cards - the other one is for Easter: 


Isn't it gorgeous? Cool idea to emboss those eggs and the feather tucked behind and the little speckled ones in front. Just so pretty! Thank you Gundi und Benedikt!

And lastly - my Christmas card from my friend Bozena  from Art Card Box arrived! Yeahhhh!!!! I saw this card on her blog and admired it greatly and offered my mailing address ;) - and guess what - she mailed it to me. But she warned me that mail from Poland might take forever and I was joking that if it does not arrive for Christmas it may arrive for Easter, LOL! I guess it was not a joke - here it is in all its beauty!


And lastly - not sure why it took so long I got this - must have been collecting dust at customs:

I won over at CAS on Sunday and this was my fabulous prize! Thank you CAS on Sunday  - I had actually totally forgotten about this and was so surprised to find this in my mailbox! It came with this gorgeous card from the uebertalented Anja Curvers from Scrapietoo.



THANK YOU ALL! You brought so much joy into my day!

What a wonderful collection, I thought that those succulents were real at first. So talented and that wonderful bunny and vegies card, so beautiful. You have done very well and I am assuming it is your birthday or near to so Happy Birthday or Happy Belated Birthday Wishes. Maybe there is more mail coming. Bet its hard to settle back in after such a wonderful time away, thank you so much for sharing your photos on line. Hugs Aileen

My dear Cornelia,
Happy Easter !!
I understand that you have not yet got my Easter card ...?
It was a grim joke for Polish post, but as you can see, my joke turned out to be prophetic :-( I wonder how long time it will take to provide my last Easter card? That maybe it's time to send you another Christmas card?
I hope you have a good time and beautiful Easter.
Hugs,
BożenA

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!

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

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
