Twofers Challenge #5

Hi Everyone,

here comes once again my last minute projects for the Twofer Card Challenge #5.
The theme is butterfly.
Took some thinking on my part.....


My supplies: 
butterflies: STAMPlorations
sentiment: So Suzy Stamps
congrats die cut: CUTplorations
tiny butterfly die cuts: Memory Box
embossing plate: Papertrey


Not sure if you need much explanation here. I did make myself a stamp from the lacy butterfly die cut and heat embossed it in clear on my sympathy card. I embossed it with Kaleidoscope embossing powder on the congratulations card. So it has that fabulous iridescent shimmer.


Happy Stamping!


Linking up with:
Twofer Card Challenge #5 - butterflies
Simon Says Wednesday challenge - use more than one stamp (sympathy card)
Crafty Friends - "B" is for butterflies (congrats card)

The monochrome sympathy card is so full of impact, Cornelia, the imagery is perfect with the sentiment. White on white is always gorgeous ... and with all the shimmer on this trio of butterflies here, it's just stunning! So pleased you made it to our gallery ... thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)

Love all the dimension and texture of both cards Cornelia. The dry embossing adds a special touch. The monochromatic colours work perfectly for your sympathy card with the butterfly aperture.

The shimmer from the iridescent finish on the butterflies of your second card is GORGEOUS! Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge. xx

Could you hear the giant "THUD" from my house. In my book, these are clearly winners. Elegant and gorgeous.

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...
