Topflight Stamps -- Autumnal Christmas

     Hi Everyone,

It's Topflight Stamps day! 
This week it's anything goes. A good way to increase my Christmas card pile!


Honestly I really thought that part of the stamp set is Christmassy, although if you look closely it's really more autumn.....Oh well, too late, it's now a Christmas card. just don't analyze those leaves too closely. The red berries are Christmassy enough.
I colored with water colors and water based markers. Added crystal lacquer to the berries. I like that stuff better than glossy accents. It doesn't clog up the bottle immediately. I also added generous gold splatters. The sentiment is heat embossed. I also added a little bell on a red thread.


I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 
See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.
And here are the stamp supplies I used:

Sehr schön ist auch diese Karte, die Zweige stehen für Weihnachten, auch wenn sie in Natura heftig stacheln.

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!
