Pink and Purple Christmas

Hi Everyone,

now since I am not on so many DT's anymore I actually have time to play in challenges! Need more Christmas cards. 52 CCT has an  old technique for us - I had done it in the past but didn't know it has a name. It's called Josephs Coat.


I used a background stamp from Simon Says Stamps, the sentiment is Hero Arts and the die cuts are by Alexandra Renke.


And here is the winner of my little Christmas give away that I had on my blog recently:


 Big congratulations Rosi - your elf is on its merry way!

Linking up with:
52 CCT - Joseph's Coat technique
Addicted to CAS - pink and purple
Simon Says Monday challenge - something clear (clear embossed those little trees)

This is so creative...love the non-traditional colors and those downright, adorable diecuts.
Your card is so well designed. I have not done Joseph's Coat in ages. Thanks for the reminder.

Mega schön!!!! Ich habe mich mit der Technik total schwer getan, erst Versuch Nr.3 war einigermaßen brauchbar, obwohl ich alles nach Anleitung gemacht habe.
Naja, was soll's, man mus ja nicht alles können.

A beautiful smart and stylish card. The purple is unusual but gives a fabulous look for this technique. Thanks for joining in at 52CCT

I had forgotten about that technique too, Cornelia. It worked beautifully to let that pink and purple shine in your unconventional but so YOU Christmas card. Thanks for sharing it with us at Addicted to CAS.

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...
