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.

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!
