Stempel Spass

Its challenge time at ATSM! And its my favorite theme- CAS! I hope you are not getting sick and tired looking at all those Christmas cards - not much longer and I'll switch gears.... This card was really easy to make. I started with the strip of sheer fabric, which really was a wrapping "paper" - bought it for crafting and I hardly used up anything from that roll.... The candy canes I stamped in red and treated them with lots of glossy accents. The  bow I stamped in glitter paper and paper pieced it - its part of that stamp (from Michaels) The sentiment is Holiday confetti - also from Michaels.   Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is Stamp Art Design  the Prize is 5 free digis  --X-- I am also playing in the Jingle Belles challenge - Christmas Feast

I have not played with the  Muse  in a while - there is just too many challenges and too much other schtuff to do......but I am back with one card. Now you may wonder how I got inspired to do this, but honestly I did get inspired by Marion's cute card! What I really wanted is an animal hanging upside down, instead of being perched on a branch, so I rummaged through my supplies and only found a monkey and a spider.....I settled for the spider. Since I reversed the animal, I also reversed the sentiment, stamping it on top. I only did a partial frame with Washi tape.  So, here you have it - totally inspired!!!!! Supplies: Spiders - Studio G, web - Craftsmart, sentiment - Martha Stewart. I am also linking this up with the  July Linky Party  for a chance to win a $25.00 gift card in the  a2zscrapbooking Store. And remember - Halloween is coming sooner than Christmas - eeeeek!

Hi Everybody,  its another challenge at Dream Valley and quite appropriately its Easter Day! Don't we all need to make some more Easter cards? Here is you chance to link them up! I used the Papertrey Take Tree die for this card. The bunnies are from Stamping Up- Ears to You and teh sentiments are Craft smart stamps from Michaels. I made the bunny eyes with liquid enamel and colored the ears a bit with Copics, to give those bunnies more dimension. Added an enamel dot and a Paper Candy.  Now head over to the blog and see how the DT can inspire you!

I LOVE Halloween! So I made a bunch of Halloween cards today for the LIM challenge - one layer witches or wizards . I have no wizard stamp at all - my selection for witches is better... This is my favorite card - I may post the other ones some other time.... The witch is from craft smart, the other stamps are Martha Stewart. I colored it with Copics. I had to give her some googly eyes - I could not resist.... I am also linking this up with Inkspirational - Anything goes --X-- Watch out - there are a lot of pictures coming up...... And then I thought I share with you my fun afternoon I had yesterday. I went with Ren-Yi and my sister to the birthday bash from Mama Elephant in Hoboken. We went crazy with stamp shopping and we did some make and takes - below are mine. I used the set Winter Wonderland for it. The sentiment is from Merry Greetings.  The tags are made with their tag die cut set and I also used the Party set for it. So much...

Hi Everyone,  I am playing again in the TAWS challenge  -  (scroll down for the Less is more challenge) - and in the Seize the Birthday challenge - anything goes Birthday.  Below you can see the inspiration picture for TAWS. I was tempted to do the chalkboard technique, but then in the end decided against it - I wanted to keep it clean.... I used 3 of my TAWS stamp sets for this:  Bird Brain, Jibber Jabber and All about YOU. The white sentiment is heat embossed, the birds are colored with Copics. Two enamel dots to finish it of.                   --X-- The challenge at Less is More is Washi Tape - so its going to be a quick card. I have some Halloween washi tapes and I decided to use them finally.... The stamps are Studio G and craft smart (Michaels) I white embossed them and put tiny red perfect pearl dots as spider eyes - not sure if you can see them....
