Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, perhaps you arrived from  Donna Idlet  on this hop. The new So Suzy and Crackerbox Stamps release is out and you will be happy to hear, that we now have a lot of wonderful sympathy card sentiments in our collection. The sentiment I used you can find HERE I masked the first line of the sentiment and stamped it with Versamark onto dark green card stock. heat embossed it in gold. The reminder of the sentiment I stamped on the inside of my card. The background I made with alcohol ink on Yupo paper. There is a fabulous YouTube Video out there - if you are interested how I made this background. I did it pretty much the same way as that guy in the video.Where there is a lot of ink, it stays sticky and I used that to add little bits of gold foil to it. Came out quite well.  You now can also buy Catherine Pooler inks on the So Suzy and Crackerbox Stamps website - they are fantastic! I am a big fan! The next stop on the...

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 25th transatlantic get-together! We also have the amazingly talented Suchi from  Suchi's CardStock  joining us. This time it was my turn to pick the requirements: I choose "FIRE" Ha, I love to play with fire! I cut some card stock obliquely and set it on fire, to get those burnt edges. Extinguished it with water - which stains the edges brown - kind of an interesting effect.  Got rid of all the ashes and then applied glue near the edges and foiled it. Glued everything together and added the sentiment. The die cut is by  CUTplorations and the little birthday is  Stamplorations - Pets . I also added brown splatters.   Lets visit Tanja an...

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 nineteenth transatlantic get-together! This time it was my turn to pick the requirements:  and I picked Foiling I have to use those foil papers I bought - they are collecting dust....tsk, tsk, tsk.... I water colored my background, let it dry and foiled the sentiment on it - the stamp is by Neat&Tangled, as is the splatter. Splattered some ink on it as well and added Washi Tape It really is easy to do. Not sure, why I don't do it more often. I love how it looks. I use some craft glue i have in my stash, not the special glue recommended. It works just fine, as you can see. Linking up with: Addicted to CAS - Ombre My Time to Craft - no layers (not sure if Washi tape...

Hi Everyone, I am so honored to be guest designing for TIME OUT  for the next two weeks! The challenge theme is lovely -    Inspired by Words:  Friendship is Golden. So true! I immediately knew what I wanted to make! I die cut the "FRIEND"  - by Winnie &Walter out of thick watercolor paper and foiled the top. I did not want a straight edge to the foiling, so I used that part of the foil I had used on a previous card , giving my those jagged edges. I colored the rest of the die cut with distress inks. I used an iStencil as background, centered ti that it would line up with the "dot of the I". Added the sentiment, also Winnie &Walter  and little sequins. http://istencils.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=27-00162 Here is another view of my card - I just LOVE that gold foil! Check out all the wonderful inspiration form their talented DT! Happy stamping - I hope to see you over at TIME OUT ! Linking up with: Winnie...
