Stamp Connection #30

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 ninth transatlantic get-together!

This time it was Tanja's turn to pick the requirements:
Halloween



I took my all time favorite Stampin' up set and stamped and masked the pumpkins. I heat embossed them in clear and sponged around in purple using a die cut mask. Added the sentiment (Marta Stewart) and some ancient sticker ants. I was surprised that they still were sticky.....


I also added white Sharpie accents. I just love how this turned out!


Lets check out  Tanja's artwork!



Happy Halloween everyone!

Awesome Halloween design. Love the sky and those pumpkins are so cute and just pop with that background.

LOVE jack-o-lanterns that look joyously evil. These two really meet that requirement and the multi-color stamping works great. You even got to use those ants. The perfect compliment to these gourds. The sentiment is perfection.
Hello Cornelia: I saw your card on the CAS on Friday challenge and I had to tell you it's amazing, love the deep, rich background for your awesome pumpkins, they look fabulous.
Love the cute ants, very sweet detail.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.

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...
