Party Birds

Hi Everyone,

I thought I take a break from card making, but then LIM asked for birds for their current challenge and I had to play along. How can I resist that theme....

For now I am sick and tired of Christmas cards - don't you feel the same way??? So I made a general card  - suitable for any kind of celebration.


I took my Katzelkraft birds and made them hold a banner, which I drew by hand - you see my drawing skills are rudimentary, LOL!
I colored them with Stabilo markers. Added a strip of Washi tape at the bottom. One layer CAS it is...


Absolutely love those birds!
You can get them directly from France HERE
or in the US you can find them HERE and HERE

Happy Stamping!

Fabulous, those ready-to-party birds of yours! I'm running out of steam with making Christmas cards but now I'm fretting that after all those, I won't know what else to create! I foresee a lot of staring at my other stamps, wondering what to do! AND, super thrilled to see you in the HLS CAS Challenge gallery!

Love this, Cornelia! I am laughing out loud! They look like an old married couple! She's the one all perky and ready to party and he's sour on the whole idea! Those expressions on those stamps are the best!! Happy Holiday Hugs! Darnell

Your drawing skills are quite a bit better than rudimentary. I love this card so much...those birds always make me laugh as do all the Katzelkraft critters. They just beg to be colored in bold, vibrant color.
I'm sick of Christmas cards, too but still have a few special ones to make, darn it. Personally, I'll be happy when all this hubbub is over.

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. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car

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! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
