{DT} - Cardabilities Sketch #51

Hi everyone and happy Thursday :-)
It's March 15th and as every 15th of a month this means there's a new sketch reveal at Cardabilities!
And Karan has come up with another great sketch

Hallo zusammen und Euch allen einen wunderschönen Donnerstag :-)

Es ist der 15. März  und wie jeder 15. eines Monats bedeutet das, das es einen  neuen Sketch bei Cardabilities gibt! Und Karan hat wieder mal einen tollen Sketch kreiert

And here is my card using papers from the new April Scrapbook-Werkstatt kit (available on March 26th)

Und hier ist meine Karte bei der ich Papiere benutzt habe, die im neuen April Kit der Scrapbook-Werkstatt (ab 26. März erhältlich) enthalten sind

The butterflies are punched out twice: once from red cardstock and once from patterned paper, then adhered with mini Glue Dots. This let the butterflies punched out from patterned paper stand out from the busy background paper and gives both, more interest and dimension :)

Die Schmetterlinge habe ich zweimal ausgestanzt: Einmal aus rotem Cardstock und einmal aus dem gemusterten Papier und dann alles mit Mini Glue Dots befestigt. Das sorgt dafür, das die Schmetterlinge aus gemustertem Papier auf dem unruhigen Hintergrundpapier zu sehen sind und außerdem sieht es so ein wenig interessanter aus und sorgt auch gleichzeitig noch für ein wenig Dimension auf der Karte :)

card recipe:

• stamps - Kaisercraft (trees), Paper and Such (sentiment)
• patterned papers - Studio Calico , My Mind's Eye (both content of the new Scrapbook-Werkstatt April Kit available on March 26th!)
• tools - Big Shot
• dies - Spellbinders Paper Arts 'Picot Edge Circles' and 'Standard Circles LG'
• other supplies - American Crafts red cardstock, Fiskars border punch, EK Success butterfly punch, Kaisercraft blue rhinestones, foam adhesive from stash, Glue Dots minis

{GDT} - Paper and Such Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday :-)

As I told you already at the beginning of the month, I'm a guest designer for Paper and Such this month :-)

And every two weeks on Tuesday there's a new challenge starting over on their blog - and today it's a 'Tic Tac Toe' challenge - here's the sheet:

Simply choose one row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) and use the items listed in this row.

I chose the row with 'ribbon - flower - lace' for my card :)

To create my card, I stamped the mum from the Fall Flowers stamp set directly onto kraft cardstock (as well as the sentiment that's also included in this stamp set) and colored it with my Mondeluz watercolor pencils (but without using any water!)

card recipe:

• stamps - Fall Flowers by Paper and Such
• coloring medium - Mondeluz watercolor pencils
• cardstock - Bazzill kraft cardstock, orange and brown cardstock from stash
• other supplies - Sass and Belle cream cotton lace, May Arts 1/8'' orange mini ric rac, Hero Arts green flower gem

challenges:

• Paper and Such (tic tac toe)
• Craft Us Crazy #16 (autumn colors)
• Digistamps4Joy #27 (autumn colors)
• Fairy Tale #23 (lace and flowers) - I hope the stamped flowers counts as 'flowers' :-)
• Happileigh Scrappin Challenges #39 (autumn/fall)
• Lexi's Creations#48 (autumn/fall)
• My Craft Spot #25 (happy harvest)
• Sentimental Sundays (autumn/fall)
• Stamp, Scrap and Doodle (thanks)

{GDT} - CAS-ual Friday sponsored by Paper and Such

Hi my sweet blogging friends and happy Friday :-)
Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am! :-))))))

I have been asked by the lovely Julie Smith to be a guest designer for Paper and Such in September - thanks Julie :-)

'Paper and Such' is sponsoring the 'CAS-ual Fridays' challenge this week and I'm sure you don't want to miss this challenge, because this week you can win a 20$ GC for the Paper and Such online store!

 CFC18:  Create a Clean And Simple project inspired by a book, and use the colors black, white and red.

So here's my card using the 'Deer Dad' stamp set from Paper and Such, which will be released next week!
So don't forget to pop on over to the Paper and Such store next week to see all the awesome new releases they will have. 

I have to admit this was a huge challenge for me. I love CAS style cards but black-white-red is NOT my favorite color combo *lol* but as soon as I saw this adorable deer stamp I knew what I wanted to do - and here's the result:

My inspiration for this card came from the book 'The Hidden Life of Deer: Lessons from the Natural World' by Elizabetz Marshall Thomas 

card receipe:

• stamps - 'Deer Dad' stamp set by Paper and Suchhttp://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2011/09/cfc18.html (to be released next week)
• coloring medium - Tombow dual brush pen in red
• other supplies - Spellbinders Label 1 die, red cardstock from stash, Crate Paper red button from Peppermint collection, white floss from stash, May Arts red-white striped twill ribbon,  Cuttlebug embossing folder, foam pads from stash

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy the day!
