Crackerbox & So Suzy Stamps - Chrysanthemum Birthday Wishes

Hi Everybody,
It's Crackerbox & So Suzy Stamps anniversary month and that is a good reason to celebrate. And you know what that means, right? Generous discounts, a possibility to win and FREE SHIPPING! All the details are listed below.


My Crackerbox & So Suzy Stamps:


I recently learned a new technique - the idea is from Hein Design and thought I share that with you here.


You take some dark card stock and mask it with Post it tape or whatever you have at hand. Take some acrylic paints and a small sponge and sponge the paint in alternating stripes onto the card stock.


Make sure the stripes overlap.


Remove the tape and wait for the paint to dry. It doesn't take long.


Use white acrylic pain, dab it onto your stamps of choice and stamp. Make sure to clean off the stamps right way with a toothbrush and water, to not have the paint dry on your stamps.

I liked it so much, I made a second card using different colors.



And here are the good news:

- Free flower stamp over a $50.00 order (after discounts)
--Free shipping over $45.00 US, $65.00 International
--Every order gets put in a drawing for a Reg. MISTI, or a Mini MISTI, or a $50.00 gift cert. at the end of the month. There will be 3 winners.
--BoBunny paper, buy 1 get 1 free
--Different stamps will be on sale at random for 50% off until they last.
--Everything on web site is 20% OFF

Zwei mega schöne Karte, auch wenn mir die Farbkombi der ersten Karte total gut gefällt, ist die Zweite doch eher mein Favorit. Irgendwie leuchtet das Blau so schön!

WOW! These folks are incredibly generous. Already put your technique on my todo list. Love the look of those flowers over the stripes. Lots of texture and interest.

Oh, das ist aber eine tolle Technik! Super schön diese Karten - die blaue gefällt mir gleich noch besser als die graue...

What a cool technique, Cornelia ... the bright stripes are fabulous against the dark cardstock ... and those white positively glow against them! Hugs, Anita :)

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.
