Dry Embossed Holly Jolly Christmas Card

 Hi Everyone,

working on increasing my Christmas card pile..... I am playing along with the 52 CCT challenge. The theme is dry embossing. 

I took an embossing folder (Mundart Stempel) and Kraft paper. Took some gold gilding polish and gave everything a gold shimmer. Wasn't happy with the outcome and took my brayer and brayered green ink onto one side of the embossing folder and ran it through my Big Shot again (you will have to line it up correctly). I liked that better. Took the tired angel from the Katzelkraft Pabos series, stamped and colored him and cut him out. Die cut my favorite Santa (Dixi Craft) in black. Heat embossed the sentiment and added it with foam tape.
Lastly I added Stickles to the halo, the wings and the bottom of the dress.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 
Happy Stamping!

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

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know.....
