Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, I am playing along with the  Muse Christmas Vision  and our Muse is Kimberly Wiener from  Wiener Honeymooners , yeahh! Here is Kim's card: You can see I went with the deer and the color theme. Stamped and heat embossed two of them in silver and die cut one in red. The stamp/die set is by Hampton Arts - got it for cheap in my Michaels :) also added some tiny silver stars and Wink of Stella on the sentiment. My stash of Christmas cards is growing steadily - how about yours? So, are you inspired? I bet you are! See you at  MCV !

Hi Everyone, I am playing along with the weather here, which can not yet decide if its going to be warm or cold.... My first card is for this weeks Muse Christmas Vision , where my talented friend Suchi from Suchi's Cardstock is our guest designer. She made a delightful card! Here is Suchi's card: I went with the red and green color scheme, but exchanged the baubles for penguins (Inkadinkadoo). Sponged the sky  and added falling snow with a Simon Says stencil and embossing paste. So how about you playing along, too?  Linking up with: One Layer Christmas card challenge  - anything one layer Christmas ABC Christmas Card challenge - I is for Ink (background made with distress ink) CHNC - anything Christmas Merry Monday - let it snow My second card has a more summery feel and I made it after the CAS Colour and Sketches sketch.

Hi Everyone, my Christmas card production is still in full swing.....so I am playing in a few more challenges. And I do love the Muse challenges - thankfully there is two of them now :) My first one I made for the Muse Christmas Vision challenge where Kimberly Wiener made this glittery masterpiece. I did a redux of it, keeping it more mellow.  The die cuts I used are by Memory Box, the sentiment is by Neat&Tangled, To get some glitter on my card I took a splatter stamp by  Stamplorations - Mixed Media Elements  and stamped it in Versamark over the sentiment and glittered it up with adhesive embossing powder and of course glitter. Kimberley's card:   The glitter splotch really doe not come out in the picture...too bad. It sparkles quite wonderful in real life.... The baubles are cut from shimmer paper and I mounted the whole card on wood PP. Also linking up with: Memory Box challenge  - Season's Greetings. ______ ...

Hi Everyone, I have not played with Make it Monday in ages - time to change that! The topic is splattering, one of my favorite things to do! If you are hesitant to do it - watch the wonderful video at the Make it Monday blog from Danielle Flanders she explains it expertly! I needed some Hanukkah cards so I pulled out the two little Papertrey sets I have and combined them. Its all heat embossed. Added the splatters and sponged some white ink around the candles and stars to give them some glow. I know, its a bit late for that, since its starts on Sunday, but since its going on for 8 nights my cards at least will get to their destination before its over......

Hi Everyone, I felt like making a Christmas card - in July, playing with the Muse Christmas visions ! Perhaps to cool off...although our summer so far has been great - not too hot or humid. Just perfect! I did not do any stamping on this card - it might be a first for me. I went with the unconventional Christmas colors on Chris'  card and the dry embossing. But as you can see I switched the gloves for the tree. I dry embossed the tree as well as my background paper. Die cut the sentiment and used one of those pieces that falls out of the letters for my tree topper.  Chris Blagrave's fun Christmas card: Here is another view: My supplies: Patterned Paper, tree die and background wood embossing - Papertrey, Tree embossing - Sizzix, sentiment die - Simon Says Also linking up with: Crafty Hazelnut Patterned Paper challenge July - anything goes Crafty Hazelnut Christmas challenge July  - anything Christmas Simon Says Monday challenge ...
