Stamp Connection #34

Hi Everyone,

Connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Tanja from Little Art Cottage and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 3rd Sunday of the month and this is our ninth transatlantic get-together!

This time it was Tanja's turn to pick the requirements:
Inspired by Nature



I have this die now for a while (it was a present). I actually don't know the company - let me know, if you do. I used water color paper and colored it with water colors. Added the sentiment (Kaisercraft). So it was pretty easy to do. I needed a card for my neighbor, who just delivered a baby boy. Besides that she is one of my fans and customers, so I wanted to make a special card for her. 






But I also had a gift, so I needed a box. YouTube came to the rescue. After I watched several videos, I settled on THIS one. Used some of that DP, that has been piling up in my craft room for no good reason, since I hardly ever use patterned paper. Two sheets less, hundreds more to go....


That is her gift - a teething necklace - how fun is that? They didn't have those when I had little kids....



Lets check out  Tanja's artwork!

Bin ganz hin und weg von dieser tollen Karte und wollte wissen, wer diese super Stanze macht und nun muss ich lesen, dass du es nicht weisst! Hoffentlich meldet sich wer, der es weiss! So süss!

Die Stanze habe ich auch, aber bei meiner Verwendung wird es wahrscheinlich nicht so fröhlich bunt, das kannst nur Du so gut!!
Wonderful little scene to welcome a little one.

Beyond gorgeous...this truly is an amazing card. You colored that die to the nth degree and it is fabulous. Also delighted to hear I'm not the only patterned paper hoarder in the craft world.

Such a sweet, whimsical scene, Cornelia ... the soft colouring really pops against the black ... so lovely for a new born! What a brilliant idea a teething necklace is ... you packaged it beautifully! Hugs, Anita :)

What a fun die cut, Cornelia! Great work with the watercolors. Thanks so much for coming to play in our "Anything Goes" challenge at QKR Stampede this week. Good luck in the draw.

The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
