Steampunk with Funky Fossil Design

   Hi Everyone,

Steampunk isn't really my thing, but this new set called 
Engine Room from the latest release at Funky Fossil Designs is fun to play with. Especially for masculine cards, which can be so difficult to make......


I used a page from a dictionary and treated it with Gesso. Stamped the machinery on it and colored it. I added the Cogs and Gears dies . I used the wonderful new Patina Paper Pad for the die cuts. the sentiment is from the same set.



I hope you liked this and thanks for visiting.

Happy Stamping!

You'd never know by me that Steampunk wasn't your thing. Looks awesome on your card.

What an awesome card. I love the dictionary page idea, it goes really well as a background for the fab stamp. Hugs, Sue. x

You put the stamp, gears and paper together beautifully, Cornelia. And what a great idea to use a dictionary page for the background.

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!
