Can't get enough of you...

The title refers to the sentiment of today's card but you could say that I can't get enough of your visits and comments because I am back for the fifth time in a row!  ;) 

I made another card for the love themed challenges:

Stamps: SSS (sentiment), unknown, unmounted script background
Dies: SSS (banner and swirly heart)
Other: various heart punches


Dora B. gave all the 7 Cardologists this heart die for Christmas! Isn't it gorgeous! I cut it out from the same glossy, holographic paper that I used on yesterdays card.

Challenges:

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge "Have a Heart"






Simon Says flickr challenge "Love"


Time Out Challenge #23 "Valentinesday with an optional twist of hearts"




Just realized that I forgot to enter it at the Uniko Challenge #17 "Love and Friendship"!






Sending you lots of love,
Susanne

Love card

Quickly popping in before I go to bed to show you this:

Stamp: SSS (you)
Die: PTI
Stencil: SSS (falling hearts)

The LOVE is cut out from glossy, holographic paper and was not easy to photograph.

Challenges:

Simon Says Wedneschallenge "Have a Heart"





Simon Says Flickr challenge #11 "Love"


Time Out Challenge #23 "Valentinesday with an optional twist of hearts"




Just realized that I forgot to also enter it at the Uniko Challenge #17 "Love and Friendship"! 




Hugs,
Susanne

SSS flickr challenge #10 "spots n dots"

I made a card for the SSS flickr challenge #10 "spots n dots"! It gave me a chance to use the new to me large dot stencil from SSS! Watch out - love is in the air!

Stamps: Avery Elle (sentiment), Stampin' Up (heart from Daisy Crazy, a retired set)
Die: Simon Says Stamp (curved line)
Stencil: Simon Says Stamp (large dots)
Other: Kelley Purkey (sequins), JudiKins (Galaxy embossing powder)


What is hard to see is that I used glittery embossing powder on the flowery heart and I forgot to take a close-up. In real life the purples go well with each other...

ETA: Just discovered that the theme over at Uniko is "Love and Friendship" and that all stamps are allowed. (Don't have any of their awesome products yet - will have to remedy that soon!)

I am very excited to welcome another follower

Judy of Judy's Card Corner

So glad you found me and hope you will like what you see here, Judy! Here is your welcoming quote by Martin Luther King Jr. (because it is MLK day):

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Wishing you all a great week with lots of time to create, of course!
Hugs, Susanne

Very CAS butterfly for SSS flickr challenge #9, NBUS #3, "Less Is More"

Hello friends!

I hope you all had enjoyable holidays and that 2015 is treating you well so far and continues to do so!

Please forgive my long absence and thank you for not removing me from your reader or email list! Today my guys went skiing and I had some fun in my stamp room so now I can even show you a card! I am starting the new year with a very CAS card that was even supposed to be a one layer card but then something happened with the Impression Plate and I had to cut it down and layer it. Because I don't throw away things easily! I used a new to me die from Simon Says Stamp that is so delicate and beautiful that I wanted to give it center stage and therefore kept it very CAS.

Stamp: Hero Arts 
Die: Simon Says Stamp (Leanna butterfly)
Impression Plate: PTI (linen)

The butterfly is cut out from sparkly paper.
The picture is not the best because when I was done daylight was already fading. Trust me it is prettier IRL.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

SSS flickr Challenge #9 (the die is NEW to me)
Darnell's NBUS Challenge #3 (the die is NBUS)
"Less is More" - Black, Metallic, and one color (if the ladies think the silver gem in the center is enough "Metallic", if not please remove)
ETA: Almost forgot that the card fits perfectly into Virginia's View Challenge #11 - Clean Slate


       


 

I am very honored and happy that 4 more people have decided to follow my little blog and I apologize that it took me so long to welcome them! Please help me give them a warm welcome by browsing through their blogs and leaving them some love!

Neha of Periwinkle Creations 
Ellie of My Creative Moments
Samantha of Samantha designs
Jennifer Spivey (couldn't find a blog, please let me know if you have one)

As is my tradition I have picked a quote to welcome you. This one is by Albert Camus:

In the depth of winter
I finally learned
that within me 
there lay and invincible summer.

It is my wish that we always carry our own summer and sunshine within us no matter the season or weather! And if that's not possible we can always stamp a sun, right?

Well, thanks for sticking with me until the end. Hope to get back to more regular blogging!

Hugs,
Susanne

Baby Girl for SSS flickr challenge

Just popping in with a card I made for the Simon Says Stamp flickr challenge. They want to see any kind of embossing - dry, heat, or paste. I used one of their amazing stencils with embossing paste mixed with pearl acrylic paint to make it shimmery.

Stamps: Lawn Fawn (Milo's Alphabet), SSS (baby girl)
Stencil: SSS (falling stars)
Dies: Sweet 'n' Sassy (clouds)

Did you see that Dora and Cathy have their "Get To Know You" posts up? If not, go for a visit and leave them some love! It's always fun to learn something new about our stamping friends!

That's it from me for now. I am trying to get over a strep throat but the antibiotics are not kicking in as fast as I would like to...

Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Susanne
