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!

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

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
