Go Nuts on Your Birthday

Hi Everyone,

and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!

my friend Flo nudged me to play along in the current Night Shift Stamper challenge . The theme is fall fruits. How could I say no...... in fact, it's my biggest problem. I just can't do it.  - Just discovered the link is closed, buhu.....


But I kept it CAS - the fastest way to get a card done.....
I wanted a graphic vibe. I picked an ancient Michaels 1$ stamp - the big acorn. To make it even better it was an NBUS
I heat embossed it onto black card stock. Stamped the little squirrel (Cats on Appletrees) and added the sentiment (My Favorite Things). Would have been even better if it would say bloody birthday....I added those red splatters, since I wanted some color, but it just looks like blood splatter....


Hope you like it - despite those splatters....

Happy Stamping!

Hope you don't end up like this squirrel after today 😜

Good grief...that's one very fat squirrel. Actually on the holidays I prepare so much food my appetite is nonexistent, so I eat very little. Unfortunately, there are still leftovers unless I can convince my kids to take them home. Anyway, to me, any card you make with those darling critters is fabulous...and I disagree about the spatters...I like them.

Och, leider zu spät. Donnerstags starte die neue Challenge (es waren doch 14 Tage). Dabei wäre Deine Karte mit den Stempeln von Cats on Appletrees mal was ganz anderes. Sehr schön. Ich mag ja diese Stempelsorte.

Hoffen wir, das Dein Eichhörnchen die Nüsse nicht alle auf einmal ist, sonst endet es tatsächlich wie das Eichhörnchen auf dem Foto. Cooles Kärtchen!!

I think the red splatters add pizazz to this quirky squirrel, Cornelia ... if he eats all those acorns, he's definitely going to look like that photo! So much fun ... and so cute! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)

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
