End The Hate

Hi Everyone,

I don't know about you, but I am deeply disturbed about the events of the last several month. Starting with COVID19, that devastated the lives of so many people and disproportionately the lives of minorities, black and brown. It also disproportionately affected and affects the poor, since we are far from having overcome this disease. On top of that we experience senseless violence and police brutality against the black community. I feel drained and at the same time glued to the news. This country has been going the wrong way the last few years, sewing hate, dividing people, increasing income inequality and encouraging blatant racism. This needs to end. Change can't come soon enough! 


So out of my despair I created this card with iStencils (stripes, Statue of Liberty) and stamps by Ryn Tanaka (tear drops). Alphabet dies by Papertry. I think it needs no other explanation.


I hope for this country to heal and get better. I hope for justice.
If you disagree with my views feel free to unfollow. 

END THE HATE!

You nailed just how I was feeling. This administration has made the divide so much worse. Black & bron v. white, rich v. poor. I feel sad all the time.

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) fiftee...

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

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!
