Birthday Stripes

Hi Everyone,

just a quick post - its gorgeous outside, so I don't want to spend a lot of time on the computer....

I made this card for the Ellen Hudson Pin-sights challenge:


The theme is aqua - see the mood board below.

I like those ice-cream cones - so two Mondo Hydrangeas from my brand new EH set and the wire basked is mimicked by those black stripes - an IO background stamp. Its very hard to get a good impression of this, even with my Misti I did not manage to get really black stripes. I would have preferred PP, but I did not have the right one....The die cut sentiment is by SSS


So now I am enjoying that premature spring day we are having - funny, yesterday I was ice skating in Bryant Park....

Have a Great Day!

Aaaah yes, the ice skating. Hope you had fun. But that card...I just want to live in your mind for an hour or two. I'm sure I'd come away with all those brilliant ideas you have rattling around in your fertile brain. What an amazing card...I smell a winner.

Haben die Blümchen nicht richtig geblüht, das Du sie hinter Gitter gesetzt hast? ... *grins* War natürlich nur ein Scherz, die Idee find' ich mal wieder super, tolle Karte.
Oh, was für eine Kulisse beim Schittschuhlaufen!!!

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

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! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
