Combining AAA with LIM

Hi Everybody,

there are two challenges out there that I wanted to really play along - one is Less is More with pick a triangle and the other challenge is AAA Cards - made in minutes. 
I figured I need to combine the two.


I gathered my craft supplies - an embossing folder by Alexandra Renke, a cutting plate from Neat&Tangled, my favorite reindeer from Dixie Crafts and an already made background from my stash. I also used a Sizzix triangle die and a little star die from Lil Inkers.


Once I had my supplies making the card really only took a few minutes - way under 30 minutes. I even added a bit of sponged around my die cut trianglular tree. I did die cut the deer 3 times and glued it together - goes very fast, too.

Linking up with:
Less is More - pick a triangle
AAA Cards - made in minutes
CHNC - anything goes, option something starting with "R" (reindeer)

Cool Christmas card design. Sounds like it went together quickly too. That is my kind of card.

Simply splendid, Cornelia ... think this reindeer must be related to your tip toe-ing Santa ... and he's equally fun! Great texture and dimension! Hugs, Anita :)

Love that swag stealing reindeer and the triangle works brilliantly for a tree. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too.

Thanks for sharing at Perfectly CAS. :)
Such a clever and funny and Cornelia-esque design!! Love that greenbackground and that sneaky, jolly moose. Thanks for joining us at Less Is More.

Fabulous Christmas card, Cornelia ! This reindeer is so fun, he looks like stealing Santa's bag ! Gorgeous green background to highlight him too. I just remind you that at LIM we love to see large areas of clear and clean space with no texture, so, although I love this falling snow texture, it is may be too much to be eligible for our challenge. Anyway I DO love your card and we thank you for sharing it in the Less is More gallery. See you in January with our new challenges !

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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
