My STAMPlorations supplies:

preview-CUTplorations-StitchedWinterLandscapepreview-DeesArtsyImpressions-NewBeginningpreview-CrazyDoubleRunningStitches-Rectangle


I sponged the background with mainly distress oxide inks. Die cut the winter landscape die and added it to the card. Also used the stitched nesting die as border. Stamped the sentiment and the birds. 

Here is another view of it:

Our rules and prizes:
Players can link up as many projects as they want (1 project per blog post)
Players must use at least 1 STAMPlorations product (stamp, stencil, die, or coloring page, or digi stamp)
Prizes: $10 GC for the winner; $5 GC each to the 2 top picks
If there are more than 25 entries: 1 player will be randomly drawn to win her choice of CUTplorations dies worth up to $15

Sounds enticing? I sure hope so!
See you at the challenge!

Gorgeous sky, Cornelia; perfect for your little cabin in the woods! Wishing you a most Happy New Year, filled with all things marvelous! Thank you, too, for the STUNNING shaker cards that appeared in my mailbox recently; I LOVE it! You are such a treasure! (as for befriending the neighbourhood; alas, that's not the case...I'm far too introverted in 'real' life!).
Hugs~c
Such a beautiful scene card. The sky is fantastic!

Terrific inked sky, Cornelia, and I love the birds flying over head. I love the sentiment but so do many others I guess because the stamp set is sold out.

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
