Gatefold Card "Hello"

Hi everyone and happy Monday :)
And Happy Memorial Day for my friends in the United States!
Today I want to share a special fold card with you - a gatefold card.
It's actually a very easy to create card and I am planning to make a little step-by-step tutorial for everyone interested in the near future.
ETA: You can find the tutorial ***HERE***
So if you are interested in learning how to create this card, please come back soon and hopefully the instructions will be here ;-)
I used patterned papers, alphabet stickers and a cork sticker from the brand new Scrapbook Werkstatt June Kit, that is available in the store as of today! :)

Hallo zusammen und Euch allen einen wunderschönen Montag :)
Heute möchte ich Euch eine speziell gefaltete Karte zeigen - nämlich eine sogenannte "Gatefold" Karte. Gate, bedeutet "Tor" und genau so ist die Karte auch gefaltet. Sie hat zwei "Torflügel", die man öffnen kann, sobald die Banderole entfernt ist.
Tatsächlich ist die Karte recht einfach zu gestalten und ich habe vor, demnächst für alle Interessierten ein kleines Schritt-für-Schritt Tutorial dafür zu erstellen.
ETA: Das Tutorial findet Ihr ***HIER***
Wenn Ihr also wissen möchtet, wie man so eine Karte macht, dann kommt einfach bald wieder vorbei ;-)
Für die Karte habe ich Papier, Alpha Sticker und Kork Sticker aus dem brandneuen Scrapbook Werkstatt Juni Kit "Seemannsgarn" verarbeitet, welches ab heute im Shop erhältlich ist! :)

Moxie Fab Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone and happy Monday!
I hope you enjoyed your weekend and had a great start into the new week.

Today I want to show you a card where I followed the 'vertical sketch' over at Moxie Fab:

As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew immediately what these three cusps on the sketch would be on my card :) 
So I decided to flip the sketch and used the dimensional princess palace sticker from Pebbles as my design element (the 'cubs' ;) ). Not only did I flip the sketch but also changed the position of the sentiment but I hope that's ok anyway...

card receipe:

• stamps - Inque Boutique
• patterned papers - My Mind's Eye - Alphabet Soup Girl "Little Princess"
• stickers - Pebbles 'Ever After' dimensional stickers
• other supplies - American Crafts cardstock, EK Success border punch, Prima selfadhesive gemstones, foam tape from stash

challenge:

• Moxie Fab Worls Vertical Sketch Challenge
• Crafty Boots #1 (anything goes) 
• Crafty Catz #98 (monochromatic)
• Ellephantastic September (here come the girls)
• Fun With Shapes and More #91 (anything goes)
• I Did It Creations Challenge #71 (Girly Girls)
• Let's Ink It Up (anything goes  DT call)
• Speedy The Cat's Friends #71 (bring on the bling)
• Stamptacular Sunday (the sky is the limit) - what I normally don't do is using stickers as a focal point 
• Sweet Stamping (anything but birthday)
• The Crazy Challenge #83 (spots and/or stripes)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and taking the time to view my work and maybe you'll leave a comment .. that would be fabulous :)
