Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, here come my last minute projects for the Twofer Card Challenge #2 . The theme is heart. Not so easy.....  First I couldn't think of what heart to use and then once I decided to make my own heart stamp from a die and fun foam what to do with it.... Well, you see what I came up with: Card #1 is done with generational stamping. I used my new Catherine Pooler inks for this and they are fabulous. The big sentiment is by Neat&Tangled.Mounted it onto a black card base. Card #2 uses the same heart, but sideways. I turned it into fish - doodles some fins and added googly eyes. The awesome bubbles are by Ryn Tanaka. It's about time to use them again....The die cut at the bottom is from Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Your Next Stamp. So, here you have it - same stamp, different themes, completely different cards, jumbled brain, puh......! Linking up with: Twofer Card Challenge  - hearts Simon Say...

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two weeks the theme is Anything Goes - what could be better than that? I made a Shaker card with one of my favorite YNS sets. Love those silly little monsters . Colored them with Copics.

Looks like I might make it through all 7 days at Mel's 7 Days 7 Sketches...... This is my card for day 5 : Cut the big circle with a Lifestyle Crafts die and used a square die to cut the square. Watercolored them and taped them in. Stamped the butterflies from Stamplorations - Artful Flutters, added white accents and stamped the sentiment (ancient Memory Box set- In the Garden - CL106) around the circle Here is another view: Linking up with: Handmade Bliss - see colors below Addicted to CAS - butterfly Memory Box - butterflies Now onto day 6 : I die cut myself some stamps from fun foam, using those Lifestyle Crafts nesting dies.

Added some enamel dots and Bakers twine.  Linking up with: Cosmic Strawberry - see colors below Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone, we had a big celebration on Sunday - our daughter graduated Biomedical Engineering with highest honors (summa cum laude) from college!!!!! Yeahhh! We are so excited! She always was an outstanding student and she still is. I made that card for her: I made the graduation cap with a diamond die by Lifestyle Crafts and just cut the bottom part by hand. Made the tassel with embroidery gold thread an dadded some left over sequins from aprior project. The gold dots I  made with a stamp by  Avery Elle - Circle it and WOW embossing powder. The die cut sentiment is by Papertrey. Here is our daughter showing off her decorated cap: And here are both of my kids in front of the Biomedical Engineering building on Campus: Another view of my card: I am linking up with: Curtain call - Totally Tassel Friday Mashup - all about grads The Pink Elephan t - Graduation      And I have another car...

Hi Everyone, just trying to get my card in in time for the  Fusion  challenge - I have not played there in a long time... I used wood patterned paper, die cut the hearts with nesting Lifestyle Crafts heart dies. The flower is by Memory Box, I lightly colored it with pencils. The sentiments are Simon Says stamps - from the same set - Sending and Wishing (sss101475) I love how this turned out - different from the usual red/pink heart Valentine's Day cards! I am also linking this card with the  Simon Says flickr goup  - Love theme - stamps by SSS with Flashback Friday  - Got flowers and with Shopping our stash  - love theme      We got a bit of snow last night - finally winter has arrived here - happy shoveling!

Hi, STAMPlorations is the sponsor for the current Time Out Challenge , which is starting today! The theme is Valentine's Day with the optional twist of Hearts.  I sure used quite a few hearts here: I started with water color paper and made a rough heart with orangy and red Brushos. Waited for it to dry...... In the meantime I took vellum in different shades white - pink, (although you can't really see the gradation in the picture) and die cut it with Lifestyle Craft dies. I then sewed the hearts to the paper. The sentiment is from the brand new Stamplorations set -  Sentiment Builders: Love . I LOVE it! Lastly I threaded 4 tiny silver beads onto the loose threads. STAMPlorations will provide 2 prizes: a $15 gift certificate (randomly chosen from all Time Out entries) and a stencil pack ($10 value; randomly chosen from comments left on the STAMPlorations blog).
