Rainbow Pigeons

Hi Everyone,

I got that awesome pigeon die as part of my birthday present from my sister. Naturally I had to make a thank you card.


I got inspired by a painted utility box, that I found on one of my recent trips to Hoboken, NJ. I thought it would be perfect to transform into a card:


I used a window die I had in my stash and scraps of rainbow paper - since I also wanted to play along in the current Day of the Month card club challenge. The stamps I used are from STAMPlorations and Funky Fossil Designs.


Hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.

Happy Stamping!

Love your colourful pigeons. We had one in the corridor at work yesterday. It was very stubborn when it came to flying out of the window it had come in by. Thanks for joining us at The Alphabet Challenge. Love Dawn x

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.

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
