Stempel Spass

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...... I am linking up with: The Card Concept  - see below, going for CAS Muse: Christmas Visions - inspired by Chris Blagrave's  wonderful card   

Hi Everyone, its challenge time at House of Cards and just appropriate for the month our theme is LOVE. My supplies are: Renke Stempel - Herzen am Band , I heat embossed it in white and then sponged the ombre strip. Added Papertrey Wet Paint love die, which I "treated" with some black Stickles. The beautiful heart is a Simon Says die cut, mounted with foam tape. Added silver string and a silver Paper Candi.  I am linking up this card with Stempelkueche   - heat embossing The Card Concept   - Going with the love, ombre and hearts - CAS, of course    Simon Says flickr goup  - Love theme - the die cut heart is SSS Shopping our Stash - Love theme AAA Cards - Love Mixed Media challenge - Love Hope to see you at House of Cards !

What else is new - another last minute project from me .... This time I combined both teh sketch and the inspiration picture from Your Next Stamp to create this shaker card. The sketch really looks like a snowglobe to me and I love shaker cards, so I went to work.... And here is my result: I used Paper Smooches stamps. The trees are actually green, you see this better below and its holiday confetti from Michaels, as are the little snowflakes. The snowglobe base is in real life more yellow, but looks like orange in the picture... I added wink of Stella to the white parts of the snowman's hat and that you can't see either... Here you can see the green trees: As luck will have it, my card fits the  The Card Concept  challenge perfectly  1.) A TAG or a CARD with a tag on it 2.) Snowmen, snow or any other "wintery" theme!  My card goes into the CAS category, of course. I like it, its cute!            ...

Hi Everyone, Dream Valley's new challenge  is opening today - the theme is  Fav Colour Combo ! Now that's a great theme! Personally I like just about any color, and almost did a rainbow theme, but then in the end I settled for aqua and lime - nice summery colors: and made a one-layer card: Materials: Tim Holtz stencil - Splatters, TAWS - Sea Mates, TAWS - Gabfest - I made the sentiment with that, sequins and Stickles. I am also playing in some challenges with this card - see below.

I am a little late here with my blog post for the new STAMPlorations challenge - it started this morning,  but I forgot to write up my blog post...but better late than never, right?  So, here’s the sketch for this challenge. It’s open to interpretation. Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch, use different shapes, add other elements to suit the type of paper craft you’re making, and so on — just make sure the sketch is recognizable in your submission(s).  You can use stamps by other companies to create projects that you enter to our challenges, although if you have STAMPlorations stamps in your stash, we'd be tickled if you use them! And here is my card: I pretty much used the sketch, just rotated it.   I used the Happy Sentiment Builder from the upcoming release and heat embossed it. I mounted it with foam tape. The card base I ran through my Big Shot with a Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder and lightly sponged it.  Our g...

OOoops - published a day early.......well, gives you extra time to prepare.... Hi my Friends - its time for another sketch challenge at STAMPlorations ! This is a fun one - you'll love it! We also have a very talented Guest Designer  - Kathy from Stamps at Play ! But first my card: I used the  VIGNETTE: Artful Flutters . I stamped the butterfly on watercolor paper, inked it up with my Kaleidocolor ink pad and spritzed it with water, before I stamped it. I let it dry and then fuzzy cut it, The sentiment is from the same set.  The strip of newsprint paper is actually also from STAMPlorations - Shery wraps the stamps in it, when she ships them - another little bonus :) April 7 - Sketch #9 (ends April 18; winner announced April 20) PRIZE The sketch challenges are sponsored by our sister shop,  All About Scrapping . The winner gets to pick 3 DIGITAL products from the shop -- any combination of  printable sheets ,  Phot...

I'm still playing around with my right now favorite TCW stencil. The possibilities are just endless... I decided to make a card for retrosketches and the Card Concept . I had my nephew in mind, when I made this card: I used Paper Smooches - Sentiment sampler and the RAD set from CASual Fridays. Added enamel dots I think this card classifies as clean and graphic. The challenge  at  Less is More  its stencils or masking - this will be my second card for it.... Here are the sketch and the inspiration picture:        and  Seize the Birthday   - anything birthday with optional stitches And lastly I'm adding this card to the  Moxie Fab STENCIL challenge , that has just started!
