Happy Birthday with Cat #6

Hi Everyone,

I needed a birthday card for somebody special and I took that opportunity to play along with CASology's 5th birthday blog hop party.
The theme is balloon.

So here is my card:


I took Big Cat #6 from Katzelkraft and colored her/him with Inktense pencils. Added the balloon (MFT) and sponged it with distress inks. Added the die cuts. You might wonder how this card is going to fit in an envelope....
No problem!


It folds up - I have a lot of slightly bigger envelopes that I use for "over the edge" cards - gotta take one of those. You see a tiny bit of string peeking out at the bottom - if you pull on it, the balloon "stands up" again.



A very happy birthday to CASology - to the next 5 years!

Happy Stamping!

Diese Karte ist herrlich!!!
Die Katze ist DER Hit und du hast sie mal wieder toll in Szene gesetzt.
Aber wie funktioniert dieser Ziehmechanismus!!!
Da muss doch irgendwie eine Führungsschiene dabei sein, denn wie stellt sich der Ballon sonst aufrecht hin?
Aber vielleicht kann ich nicht kreativ genug denken :-(((
Liebe Grüße

Always knew you were a genius...now I have proof. This card is beyond funny, cute, fabulous. Not only the coloring of the images (who doesn't believe a cat needs a microphone) but the construction. Add engineer to you many titles.

I love cats, now I have two kittens at home and that is why I love this card! Sweet singing kitten :-)) But I know that cat singing is not always so nice, hehe.
I love this huge balloon. Looks amazing!

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.

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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
