Breathe, it will be ok: CAS-ual Fridays #125

Hi everyone, happy Friday and Happy New Year!!!

It's time for our next CAS-ual Fridays challenge and the challenge is:

Instead of a resolution, choose a word that describes what you hope for the new year. 

Well for me the saying on this card pretty much sums up, what I am hoping for this new year: I hope to be able to be a little bit more relaxed! To take a deep breath, take it easy, let some things go and .... hopefully everything will be ok :)

Therefore my word for 2014 is BREATHE and now tell us what is YOUR word for the new year? Can't wait to see what you will come up with!

For more inspiration from the talented Girl Fridays, please visit the CAS-ual Fridays blog!

Oh and from today, I will post detailed instructions on how I created the card 

(see "Instructions" box below). 

I would love to hear from you, what you think about it! 

Do you find the instructions feature helpful or do you rather skip reading this?

Your honest opinion is much appreciated!

Thanks for helping me keeping/getting this blog worth visiting and reading :)

Snowy Christmas Card for CAS-ual Fridays #123

Hi everyone and happy Friday :)	Hallo zusammen und Euch allen einen wunderschönen Freitag :)
It is time for the next CAS-ual Fridays challenge and I love this weeks theme! It is:	Es ist mal wieder Zeit für die nächste CAS-ual Fridays Challenge und das Thema dieser Woche ist so ganz nach meinem Geschmack! Es ist:
For my card I stamped all ten snowflakes that are content of the "Snowflake Greetings" set! I adhere all snowflakes "randomly" on a huge acrylic block and stamped them all at once with Tsukineko Brilliance "Pearlescent Sky Blue" ink onto the white cardstock. I then added some more of the smaller snowflakes here and there. Then I simply stamped the greeting with Tsukineko Versafine Onyx Black ink onto the lower right side of the card front and added some clear rhinestones of various sizes.	Für meine Karte habe ich alle zehn Schneeflocken, die im "Snowflake Greetings" Set enthalten sind benutzt! Ich habe alle Schneeflocken "zufällig" auf einem großen Acrylblock verteilt und dann alle zusammen mit Tsukineko Brilliance "Pearlescent Sky Blue" auf weißen Cardstock gestempelt. Dann noch ein paar der kleineren Schneeflöckchen einzeln hier und da dazwischen gestempelt. Den Spruch habe ich mit Tsukineko Versafine Onyx Black in die untere rechte Ecke gestempelt und dann noch ein paar verschieden große Glitzersteinchen aufgebracht.

Joy To The World - Christmas Card for CAS-ual Fridays #122

Hi everyone and happy Friday :)	Hallo zusammen und Euch allen einen wunderschönen Freitag :)
It is December 6th and this means it is "Nikolaus" day in Germany. The evening before Nikolaus day, Children put one of their boots outside, hoping Nikolaus is filling it with sweets and treats.	Heute ist der 6. Dezember und somit Nikolaus Tag. Hat Euch der Nikolaus die Stiefel gefüllt? Oder wenigstens Euren Kindern? ;-)
But it is not only Nikolaus day, but also the launch of a new challenge at CAS-ual Fridays ;-) This weeks challenge is:	Aber heute ist nicht nur Nikolaus Tag, sondern auch der Tag an dem eine neue Challenge bei CAS-ual Fridays beginng ;-) Die Herausforderung dieser Woche lautet:
Use a tree or trees on your clean and simple project (doesn't have to be a Christmas project *just saying*)	Wir möchten CAS Werke mit einem oder mehreren Bäumen sehen (und es muss nicht zwingend ein weihnachtliches Werk sein *nur so erwähnen wollte*)
For my card I have used a stamp set from Paper Smooches (it's an older one, but I still like it, because I think it's of a timeless style) I stamped everything with various colors of Tsukineko Brilliance inks. Oh how I love these inks (especially the "pearlescent" ones with that wonderful, subtle shimmer... hope you can see it in the close up below!)	Ich habe hier ein Stempelset von Paper Smooches verwendet (es ist zwar schon älter, aber ich mag es immer noch gerne, weil ich finde, das es einfach zeitlos im Stil ist). Ich habe alles mit verschiedenen Farben aus der Tsukineko "Brilliance" Stempelkissen Kollektion gestempelt. Ganz ehrlich.. ich liebe diese Stempelkissen total (ganz speziell die "pearlescent" mit ihrem wunderschönen und ganz subtilen Schimmer.. ich hoffe man kann es in der unten angefügten Detailaufnahme erkennen!)
