Have a Fin-tastic Day!

Hi Everyone,

a little while ago I won at the Rubbernecker challenge and got myself some wonderful new Rubbernecker stamps. Time to ink them up!!!!


Of course I am also playing in the Rubbernecker challenge - the theme is embossed backgrounds.
I have a lot of embossing folders, but I am usually at a loss of what to do with them. So, this is in fact a real challenge for me. I used blue vellum and an embossing folder. Colored it a bit with Copics and cut some slits to insert my little Rubbernecker fish. Didn't have a suitable Rubbernecker sentiment, so I used one from Your Next Stamp.
Sewed on the vellum/


I also wish you a Fin-tastic day and happy stamping!

Fintastic card, perfect embossing folder for your card and fish.
Wow! This looks awesome. A great underwater scene with those darling fish.

Initially, I was at a loss of how this card was done so was grateful for your instruction blurb. It looks so much like a watery wonderland and those fish look both happy and complacent. Stitching the vellum on was a stroke of the genius in that beautiful mind of yours.

The blue vellum is perfect, Cornelia, and I love the way you slit it to place those cute fish.

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
