Happy Birthday
Hallo, ihr Lieben. Ich wollte euch heute diese Geburtstagskarte zeigen. Ich habe zum ersten Mal die Distress Oxide Inks auf Kraft-Papier ausprobiert und ich bin absolut begeistert! Die Pigmente lassen sich super verblenden und erzeugen einen richtig schönen Farbton!
Ich habe Cracked Pistachio Oxide und den Leaves Stencil von Dutch Doobadoo verwendet, um den Hintergrund zu erzeugen. Der kleine Fuchs und das Bäumchen stammen von My Favorite Things und sie passen meiner Meinung nach super zum Thema des Hintergrunds.
Eine kleine Nachricht wollte ich natürlich auch noch einfügen, weshalb ich das "Happy Birthday" sozusagen etwas versteck hinter einem Fenster versteckt habe.
Vielen Dank für's Vorbeischauen und bis zum nächsten Mal!

You tied the knot (DeNami Design)
Hi crafty friends,
today I want t show oyu this wedding card that I made using the cute owl love birds. I wanted to make a really simple and easy card and didn't want to include too many colors. I started off stamping the owls on white cardstock and color them in with alcohol markers.
For the card itself, I die cut a banner from white cardstock and stamped the sentiment "congratulations you tied the knot" with black ink. Using an embossing folder, I embossed the front part of a standard white notecard and adhered the banner piece to it using fun foam to give it a little bit of dimension. The owls were adhered to the bottom center of the banner using glue dots.
To finish off the card I included white and gold baker's twine and tied a
bow (or a knot...) at the bottom of the card. I hope you enjoyed this
card as much as I did.

Merry Christmas (Mama Elephant)
Hello, today I am showing you another set of Christmas cards that I made using one of the newer Mama Elephant stamp sets! Aren't the images just adorable?
First of all I stamped the little elves and pinguins on Neenah white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers.
I wanted to keep the background rather simple. For that reason I used
Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and applied it with a blending tool in swirly
motions on some mixed media paper by Canson. I tried to fad it out as
best as I could
Below the
distressed area, I stamped the sentiment that is included in the set
with VersaMark ink and embossed it with silver embossing powder by wow.
The,
I adhered the distressed panel on a kraft card base (I just love
kraft!) and also adhered the elves and pinguins in the center of the
panel using 3D foam squares.
That's when I thought that something was missing. The top of the card had to much white space and I didn't really like it. And then I remembered the Baker's Twine that I recently ordered and included some white and green twine.
I poked a whole through the fold of the cardbase and wrapped the twine around, tying a little bow on the right side. I adhered the bow into place with a glue dot because it didn't want to stay where and how I wanted it.

Baby, it's cold outside
There is a new challenge up on the Simply Create Too Challenge Blog with the topic "Baby, it's cold outside". Go check it out, look at all the great projects by the Design Team members and come play along! I made a card with this adorable polar bear by Some Odd Girl and used the perfectly matching sentiment from a Lawn Fawn set.
First, I stamped the polar bear with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Solar White card stock as well as the hat, the scarf, and the pole. Then, I colored them with Spectrum Noir markers (I actually had to google how to color that pole...) (polar bear: Liquid Appliqué, hat/scarf: GT2, GT3, pole: ). I also used some Glossy Accents on the polar bear's nose and on the top part of the pole to make it a bit more "metal like" (if you know what I mean :) ).
For the background I used a piece of watercolor card stock and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I think it is a beautfiul soft blue color that is perfect for sky backgrounds. I made sure not to cover the whole piece but to get lighter to the top. Using some white scrap card stock, I cut a few snow hills adhered it to the watercolor piece. On the hill in the front I stamped the sentiment "baby, it's cold outside" with Classic Cherry die ink. After glueing the hat and scarf to the polar bear I placed him and the pole on/behind the snow hills.
To give the card a bit more contrast I wanted to use a larger red background panel. I used foam tape to give the front panel more dimension and also included red and white bakers twine which perfectly matches the red and white pole. I wrapped it around the front panel a couple of times and bound it to a little bow. I adhered the bow in place with a tiny glue dot. Finally, I adhered the front panel on top of the background panel.
