In 80 Days around the World for Heindesign

Hi Everyone,

the German company Heindesign has an ongoing challenge on Facebook. The theme is "In 80 Days around the World". The challenge is still open until 7/19. So I decided I need to play along. The requirement is a post card with a front and a backside.


Above you see the front. I used an iStencil for my background. Sponged in rainbow colors. Most of the little animals are by Cats on Appletrees. The plane and car are ancient wood stamps from my stash and the sentiment I created with my computer.


Here is the back of my postcard. I borrowed the post card stamps (Papertrey) from my sister. I used another iStencil for the cityscape. The balloon and clock are also ancient wood stamps. Masked them and sponged the rest.


And to make it more fun I created a little poem in German:

Schnell, schnell wir eilen,
koennen nicht verweilen.....
In 80 Tagen um die Erde
ob ich das denn schaffen werde?
Ich hoffe schon und sende Gruesse
an den Herrn Hein und seine Suesse

In English - sorry, could not make it rhyme.....

Lets move fast
we can not rest
In 80 days around the world
not sure if I'll be able to do that?
But I sure hope
and I send greetings
to Mr. Hein and his Sweetie


My envelope. If you want to participate you still have some time to send your postcard on its merry way!

Hope you liked this and thanks for visiting!

This is definitely a winner in my book. All those sweet animals surrounding the beautifully colored world. A cityscape that is just as lovely on the opposite side. All those darling modes of transportation and an envelope to boot. These are really works of art.

Die Karte ist der Oberknaller!!! Ich habe sie auch schon bei Herrn Hein auf der Internetseite entdeckt!!!

Das Thema hast Du wunderbar umgesetzt. Das alles auf eine Karte zu bringen ist schon eine Herausforderung. Und dann auch noch beide Seiten gestalten ... das ist "strafverschärfend" *lach*

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

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!
