Peace for Ukraine

Hi Everyone,

these days I feel myself consumed about the war Russia is waging in Ukraine. It is just unbelievable and senseless in so many ways. I feel it's just another step back into the dark past. There are so many things that nowadays are going backwards instead of forward, but this war impacts a nation of 44 million people and many of which have already lost or given up their homes, being separated, living in fear or have lost a loved one. And it's just the beginning. It also seems that only a small minority really wants this. My heart goes out for everybody that got affected, including those Russians, who found themselves trapped in this grisly situation.

I figured I make a card, joining many of my card makers that want to express their solidarity with Ukraine. You may know that there is a card auction on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ukrainecarddrive/?hl=en) and there is a #cardsforukraine link up on Instagram as well.

I don't really have a dove, so I used the pigeon from Cats on Appletrees for my Ukraine inspired card. The Peace sentiment is from a Christmas set from Simon Says Stamps.

Thanks for visiting.

Peace for Ukraine!

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!
