Stempel Spass

   Hi Everyone, I am back with another Christmas card.  I am playing along with  52CCT  - the theme is a sketch, see below.  I pulled out those Tim Holtz dies (Sizzix) that I bought a while ago and have never used.... They were quite dusty, LOL! I used some old patterned paper (Funky Fossil) under the die cuts. I stamped the obese deer (Brutus Monroeon scrap paper and colored it with alcohol ink markers. Cut it out and added it to the card with foam tape. the tiny sentiment is by Winnie & Walter. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Linking up with: 52CCT  - sketch Use Your Stuff - small type

Hi Everyone, there is an interesting challenge at CAS Mix-up - its about the stained glass technique. It looks amazing, doesn't it. Although honestly I would change the name to pained glass technique. It's a pain in the you know where..... to put together. So you have been warned! LOL! But I persevered, although I wasn't quite sure why....I guess I know why. I knew it would look great in the end and be worth the effort - to send to somebody special, who appreciates it. As they have lots of tutorials over at the CAS Mix-up blog I spare you the details. The only difference on my card is that I used fun foam to build up the layers. Makes it a tad faster.... A detail shot for you to  see it better. The triangles are by Altenew . The background I made with a stencil by MFT (My Favorite Things). The sentiment is by Winnie & Walter.

Hi Everyone, there are a couple of challenges that are just begging to be combined in one card - I have listed them below. I made this card with a stencil by My Favorite Things, animal stamps by Cats on Appletrees and the sentiment stamps are by Winnie & Walter . Added Washi tape at the bottom. The reds are all different, but almost look the same in the picture... I wish you a great day - you'll need it. It's Monday, after all....

Heat it an you are set. for me second card I chose those cute Cats on Appletrees stamps. The sentiment is from STAMPlorations. I splattered and added a strip of striped paper. Happy Twofing!

Hi Everyone, it is my turn,to be your muse at  Muse Christmas Visions . I made this card with a homemade stencil. I basically took a sturdy piece of paper (actually an old commercial card) and cut a slim triangle out of it and used it as a stencil. And then I stenciled and masked and masked and stenciled until I was happy with the result. The little stylized stars are by Winnie & Walter, the sentiment is from Neat & Tangled. Trimmed the card a bit and added some black card stock at the bottom. You likey?  I sure hope so, because I want all of you to play along! See you at MCV ! Happy Stenciling!

Hi Everyone, my neighbor needed another Bat Mitzvah card and I needed some inspirations, which I got for the gorgeous picture from Inspired by all the Little Things . Here is that picture - isn't it gorgeous? As you can see, I basically went with those bottles and ignored the flowers.... I used my peony dies from The Ton - those are my favorite flower dies. The sentiment is a concoction of Paper Smooches, Impression Obsession and Winnie & Walter. Added shimmery gold splatters with my Fine Tech Mica water colors. I am so happy with this creation!

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 eleventh transatlantic get-together! This time it was Tanja's turn to pick the requirements: She picked "create your own background using small stamps". I took  that gorgeous W&W set My Precious , which has all those pretty little gems. I stamped them onto water color card stock and heat embossed them in white. I water colored them in and water colored the background. Added the big FRIEND - die cut it twice. Once with aqua paper and once with hot pink fun foam. The precious is heat embossed in white and cut at an angle for more interest. I also added some Wink of Stella, but it does not show on the photo. Linking up with: Winnie&Walter - Rerun - my...
