Spring and Winter

Hi Everyone,

I have a Twofer today, as Darnell would call it and two very different cards. The first one I made for the Ellen Hudson Pinsights challenge  - see the mood board below.


I used the Mondo Hydrangea - heat embossed it onto Bristol paper and colored it with a combination of oxide inks and water brush pens. The die cut thanks is by CUTplorations.

Lovely, that mood board, isn't it? I also added Wink of Stella to the hydrangea, but it dos not show well in my pictures.


My second card I made for Merry Mondays. Since Muse Christmas Visions is now monthly I need to play with the "competition" to get my Christmas cards done without too much stress in the end.


The theme is "Kraft". Heat embossed the Hero Arts wreath (CG485) and added tiny pearls and gems. Added the twine. Again the die cuts are from CUTplorations.

I especially LOVE your card made with kraft cardstock. The white wreath looks fantastic against your card base.

The Mondo Hydrangea is Mondo gorgeous. Amazing color scheme and love the loose leaf on the panel. Very artsy.
As far as the Christmas card, I never met a wreath I didn't love as evidenced by my HUGE stamp collection of them. This card is a winner, hands down. Crazy about those touches of red.

Dynamic duo of cards for 'opposite' seasons! The hydrangea is gorgeous; the white/kraft classy! Once again, marveling at your diversity...

Loving both of the 'Twofers'. Fabulous take on the moodboard with your first amazing card. Beautifully coloured, love the pop of vibrant lime and the dimension of the sentiment...perfect x Such a classy second card. Again the dimension of the sentiment die cut sits so perfectly against the kraft, white and red. You are on a roll, so creative and stunning! x

Your painting on the hydrangea is gorgeous, Cornelia. I love how you added the ribbon and bottom border to your wreath card.

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...
