So Suzy Friends & Family Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

welcome to the Friends & Family Blog Hop at So Suzy Stamps. 


Perhaps you arrived from the wonderfully talented Justine Hovey.



Birds on a Branch, Laugh Smile Live

I started out heat embossing the stamp in gold.

Colored it with Inktense pencils.


Colored some more.


Added the sentiment.


Drew some lines and added some sequins.


​And what would be a blog hop without prizes? 
1st price of 25$ gift card from the store
three additional prizes of 15$ gift card from the store.




Commenting is open from April 26 to midnight April 29.
The winners will be announced on So Suzy's Blog and So Suzy's Facebook page on May 4th.
Your next stop on the hop is Donna Idlet

Dir beim Kolorieren und Gestalten deiner Karten "über die Schulter schauen" zu dürfen, finde ich immer sehr spannend.
Die Farben dieser Karte sind absolut fantastisch. geradezu paradiesisch. ;)
Aber auch der gewählte Spruch gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut.
Liebe Grüße

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
