Muse Christmas Visions #102

Hi Everyone,

it's my term for the next two weeks to be your Muse at Muse Christmas Visions.


Wondering how I made this card?

I started with a bag I got in Chicago - had to turn it into a card, no way around it.....


I choose an uncrumpled section and did a lot of masking....
The  sentiment stamp is by So Suzy, as is the Santa stamp. I also added some water splatters, sequins and colored some of the windows yellow.



Have fun CASEing this - you can even go with the recycling theme....The options are limitless ;)


So come and play along! You'll have lots of time, the linky list closes at 7:59 AM EST on Monday, June 25.

See you at MCV!

Linking up with:

Time Out - Holidays (it's a one layer card)

Talk about painting the town red! It is so fun! The white moon and those yellow and white lights just glow! I've been on their architecture boat tour before and learned so much!

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
