Stempel Spass

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: BEACH I am actually not a fan of the beach I prefer mountains. I get bored, don't like salt water and hate the sand getting into anything.... I guess I am probably pretty along out there with my views.... Nonetheless, I made a beach card. Decided on a shaker with real sand from somewhere... The beach ball is just a punched out circle that I colored as a ball. The water I created with a an ancient sky stamp from Stampscapes. Added some "shark fins" and a ship - just cut from paper scraps.  I used an MFT stencil for the clouds. For the shaker window I use...

Hi Everyone, we at Stampotique have a  new challenge  starting - the theme is " Monster ".  I used the   Waving Spotted Monster  for my shaker card. Used a little shaker window insert. Makes making shaker cards a snap. Colored it with Inktense pencils. The window die is MFT and the stitched border die is by Cutplorations. Put assorted sequins into my shaker window. The sentiment is from Quotes1 . Stampotique Challenges run every TWO weeks...... Please remember you can use any stamps for our challenge and you are allowed to have 2 entries per challenge. From all the current months entries we will draw 2 random winners who will each win a 30.00 gift certificate on the first week of the following month. Have fun with  Hope to see you at  the  challenge ! Linking up with: Night Shift Stamping - Dies and card Inkspirational - mythical Simon Says Wednesday challenge - anything goes

Hi Everyone, is me again, this time with a Shaker card, I made for the 50th birthday of a good friend of mine. I took my Papertrey numbers and die cut them into a shaker card. The sentiment is also by Papertrey. Added some striped paper (an envelope liner - got a lot of mileage out of this one) and an enamel dot.

Hi Everyone, I am playing with this month   Memory Box challenge . The theme is shaker cards. So I pulled out my underused big butterfly die from Memory Box and turned it into a shaker.  I really like this die - I should use it more often...The pretty sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers (Mix Mash set) I am also linking up with: Time Out  - Birthday Inkspirational - going with challenge  # 23 - orange, star fruit, melon Simon Says Wednesday challenge - ombre Seize the Birthday - CAS birthday HLS - anything goes with HLS stamps (sentiment)

Hi Everyone, its challenge time at  A2Z Scrapbooking ! For this month  we want you to create a shaker card.  I used that cute set  by  Hero Arts Elephant Stamp & Cut DC135   to make this card. I die cut the elephant a second time using fun foam, to give my card dimension and leave space for the sequins. It also give you a nice sturdy layer underneath and does not crumple during shipping. Added a googly eye to the shaker elephant and die cut the panel with a rectangular Simon Says die. The sentiment is by Papertry and the speech bubble is punched with a EK success punch.  So cute - I love it! I hope you will get a chance to join our  monthly challenge .    Remember - Hero Arts Products are required.  This challenge runs though the end of the month. You have a chance to win a $25 gift card to the a2z Scrapbooking Store. The  a2z Scrapbooking store   takes care of ...

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 fifth transatlantic get-together! This time it was Tanja's turn to pick the requirements : Shaker card and animal For quite a while I had that duck from your Next Stamp quacking at me to get used - well - now its her turn! Combined it with some patterned paper. The sentiment comes with the duck. Did my usual thing  - using fun foam as a spacer. The window is die cut with a die by Simon Says. The duck is colored with Copics. Filled in Microbeads and various sequins.  Linking up with  Your Next Stamp - sketch challenge Simon Says Work It Wednesdays     Lets check out Tanja's shaker card !
