Guest Designing for 52CCT

Hi Everyone,

Merry Christmas to you! I hope you have peaceful and enjoyable Holidays! but in case you want to get some crafting in and work on you Christmas card stash for next year I have something for you! The new challenge at 52CCT, where I am honored to be guest designer for this week. The theme is brads or eyelets - I am sure you have them lying around in your stash......

I used the pretty Christmas tree from Katzelkraft and added star shaped brads and some pearls. I used thin cardboard for the card base to have a bit more heft for the brads. I brushed the background in part with gold delicata ink - gives it a nice shimmer, although it does not show up well in this photo. 
Added lots of splatters and painted on more "snow". The sentiment is a die from STAMPlorations - doubled up for more sturdiness. I also added thin copper thread and strung it around the big top brad.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting! and don't forget to kink up your card with 52CCT!

Happy Stamping!

Was für eine wunderschöne Weihnachtskarte!!! Super, dass Du den Hintergrund im oberen Drittel gelb gestaltet hast, ich finde, dass dadurch alles in noch hellerem Licht strahlt.

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) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car

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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
