  I will add the card recipe later today.. until then... have a wonderful Tuesday! :-)

card recipe:
  • stamps - 'Baby Girl Clothes' by Artypants
  • coloring medium - Tombow Dual Brush pen
  • cardstock - American Crafts (pink), Clairefontaine (white)
  • font - Luna Bar (available at dafont.com)
  • other supplies - May Arts sheer ruffle edged ribbon in baby pink, Fiskars border punch, Kaisercraft clear rhinestone, paper piercing tool, foam tape from stash

Hi my sweet blogging friends and happy Thursday :-)

Yesterday we had lots of rain.. but it's still sticky and it has not really cooled down.. it's that kind of weather where I tend to get a headache.... *mmmpf*

But now onto some more nice things :-)

Today I want to share a card with you that I made with an image from a new stamp company: 'Some Odd Girl' ! 
Ha! I hear you calling: 'WHAT?'... 'a new stamp company???'
Ok ok ok.. I admit it.. it's NOT a new company.. it was only new to me! *lol* 
I'm sure many of you know these stamps already while I must have been living under a rock not having any of their adorable images until yesterday *lol*

  Soooo.... here's my very first card using a Some Odd Girl image - this sweet little girl is called 'Sunny Tia'
I colored her using Tombows, some watercolor pencils for some additional shading and a little bit of Stickles to highlight the flower in her hands. I then cut her out trimming very close and put her on foam pads.


Thank you so much for stopping by today and I would be delighted if you take the time to leave me a comment :-) Have a wonderful day, my sweet friends!

card receipe:
  • stamps - 'Sunny Tia' by Some Odd Girl, sentiment from 'Card Sentiments Digital Stamps' by Arty Pants
  • coloring medium - Tombow Dual Brush pens, Mondeluz watercolor pencils, Ranger Stardust Stickles
  • patterned papers - 'In The Garden' by Mari Koegelenberg Creations
  • other supplies - cardstock from stash, border punch from Martha Stewart, seamless binding from etsy, pearl pin from Jenni Bowlin, foam pads from stash, Glue Dots

Here's a card I made with a digi stamp from Moon Cookie Gallery aka Natalie Michalski who is a new designer for Whimsy Stamps.

{DT} - Flower Greetings

Oh my ... I'm soooo bad! My poor little blog... so neglected... *lol*

To all my sweet friends in the blog world: I'm sooo sorry to be such a bad blogger lately. I really hope to post on a more regulare base again, soon :)

But here is one thing I can promise: I will have at least two blog posts this week *lol*

The first card, that I want to show you today is this clean and simple 'Flower Greetings' card, where I used one of the beautiful digi stamps from the brand new digi stamp designer at Whimsy Stamps: Natalie Michalski.

Her adorable stamp collection for Whimsy Stamps is called 'Moon Cookie Gallery' (isn't that a cuuuute name?! :) )
I kept the design of the card simple, because I really LOVE this image ('Tall Striped Vase') and totally wanted it to be THE focal point on my card. Therefore I just used some red cardstock from my stash, some patterned papers from October Afternoon and a Fiskars scalloped border punch to create it. Really easy, but I like the result (even more IRL, because I wasn't able to catch the right colors in the photo... the colors of the image and the papers are matching really good IRL!).
I colored the image with my beloved Tombow Dual Brush pens ;-)

See you all tomorrow again with another (and totally different) card ;-)))))

Have a wonderful evening everyone!

Hi everyone and happy Friday :)


I have been absent from my blog for some days this week (the post on Wednesday was a scheduled one), because I have been sick with diarrhea and vomiting combined :-/


Luckily, I feel a bit better today and so I had a little bit extra time to color one of the newly released digi stamps from Crafts and Me. I colored this beautiful stamp called 'The Infinite Star' and made this card.

***sorry, have to put it down for the next month because the card will be published in Scrapbook News and Review magazine***
The pictures will be back up in July 



The paper is from a digital paper pack called 'Laitha's Follow Your Dreams Paper Pack'


The black corner in the lower left is a die cutting file for the Silhouette machine from Samantha Walker, the black swirl on the right side is a die cut from QuicKutz that I used with my Big Shot


here are a few close ups:


I really had a blast creating this card :)

card recipe:
  • stamp - 'The Infinite Star' by Crafts and Me (designed by Sara Burrier)

Have A Very Happy Birthday



Hi everyone and happy Saturday :)
Just popping in quickly to show you a birthday card I made by following the sketch at 'Fun with Shapes and More'. To create this card I used one of this weeks new released images from Meljen's Designs. I think this little mouse guy is just the cutest sitting in his(?) birthday cake *giggle* What you can't see in the picture is, that I used Twinklings H2O on the icing that gives a super shiny shimmer


Hallo zusammen und einen schönen Samstag wünsche ich Euch :)
Ich komme nur mal schnell vorbei um Euch eine Geburtstagskarte zu zeigen, die ich nach dem Sketch bei 'Fun with Shapes and More' gemacht habe. Für diese Karte habe ich eines der niegelnagelneuen Motive von Meljen's Designs benutzt. Ich finde ja diesen kleinen Mäuserich, wie er da so putzig in seiner(?) Geburtstagstorte sitzt zum dahinschmelzen *giggle* Was man hier auf dem Foto mal wieder nicht erkennen kann ist das ich den ganzen Guss der Torte mit Twinklings H2O koloriert habe, was dem ganzen einen super glänzenden Schimmer verpasst




don't forget to enter for winning my blog candy!

challenges:


card recipe:

~°~ Thanks for visiting my blog ~°~

now... the card *lol*


*woohoo*.... after coloring the beauty (see post below) I finally managed to finish the card *yay* ;-))) After lots of CAS cards recently - here's something very different *g*
I also did some distressing here: Used some Distress inks for the edges of the patterned paper in the background and a Tim Holtz distressing tool to go around the edges of the stamped image.
I'd like to submit this card to this weeks 'Crafts and Me Challenge' and I hope the butterflies all around the mermaid qualify for the theme 'time to spread your wings' *ahem*

*juhuuuu*...nach der Koloration dieser Schönheit (siehe Post unten) habe ich sie tatsächlich fertig.. die Karte *jippie* ;-)) Nach vielen vielen CAS Karten in letzter Zeit ist das hier wohl ein ganz schönes Kontrastprogramm *g*
Ich habe hier außerdem mal wieder etwas distressed: Ich habe Distress inks für die Ränder des gemusterten Papiers benutzt und außerdem ein Tim Holtz Distressing Tool um damit die Ränder des Stempelmotivs zu bearbeiten.
Ich möchte die Karte gerne als Beitrag für die Challenge bei 'Crafts and Me Challenge' einstellen und hoffe das die Schmetterlinge auf der und um die Meerjungfrau herum genug geflügelte Wesen sind, um bei dem Thema 'time to spread your wings' mitzumachen *räusper*

( here's a close up ... see the butterfly on her hips? ;-)
hier noch eine Nahaufnahme.. könnt Ihr den Schmetterling auf ihrer Hüfte sehen? ;-) )

      no card, but...


      Hi everyone and happy Friday :)
      Sorry for not being much around here on the blog lately, but the last week was super busy at work and so I did not have time to create something *sigh*
      But today I purchased my first (digi) stamp from 'Crafts and Me'. 
      This image is called 'Hidden Treasures' and .... ohhhh... I so adore this image designed by Hannah Lynn 
      I did not have time to create a card with this beauty but at least I had time to color her ;-)
      And to prevent this blog becoming an orphan I thought I'd show you at least the colored image ;-))))


      Hallo zusammen und einen schönen Freitag :)
      Tut mir leid, das ich nicht soviel hier auf dem Blog zeige in der letzen Zeit aber die letzte Woche war super hektisch und ich hatte wahnsinnig viel geschäftlich zu tun und somit war die Zeit für Kreatives leider sehr knapp *seufz*
      Aber heute habe ich meinen ersten (Digi) STempel von  'Crafts and Me' gekauft
      Das Motiv heißt 'Hidden Treasures' und.... oooohhhhh... ich finde dieses Motiv das Hannah Lynn entworfen hat, einfach umwerfend schön! Ich hatte leider nicht genug Zeit eine Karte damit zu gestalten, aber immerhin habe ich es geschafft diese Schönheit mal zu kolorieren.
      Und damit mein Blog nicht total verwaist, dachte ich ich zeig' Euch wenigstens mal das kolorierte Motiv ;-)))

      Hi everyone :) I'm so excited to tell you that the sweet Cheryl of Sassy Cheryl's asked me recently to be one of the 'Featured Sassy Friends' on her blog. Thanks Cheryl, that's a great honor for me :)

      So I decided to use this cute image of a boy taking care of his friends ('Nature Lover Boy'), because as a mom of four boys I'm always in need of boys Birthday cards.. and I thought this image is just PERFECT :)
