Happy Birthday

Hallo, ihr Lieben, ich bin zurück mit einer neuen Schüttelkarte im Geburtstsagsdesign und habe eine tolle Stanze von My Favorite Things verwendet. Das schöne an dieser Stanze ist, dass man im Prinzip zwei Karten zum Preis von einer bekommt.


Für die erste Karte wollte ich eineb sehr farbenfrohbe und knalligeb Hintergrund, den habe ich mit Salt Ocean und Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks kreiert habe. Zurecht gestanzt habe ich den Hintergrund dann zunächst mit der Rechteckstanze von MFT. Um die Verblendung der Farben etwas aufzuwerten, habe ich anschließend noch Wassertropfen darauf gespritzt und mit einem Tuch trocken getupft. Nun konnte ich den Happy-Birthday-kreis ausstanzen.


Um etwas mehr Kontrast zu erhalten, habe ich das Design auch noch einmal aus weißem Karton ausgestanzt und habe den Schriftzug auf der ersten Karte verwendet. Um eine Schüttelkarte zu kreieren, habe ich zunächst durchsichtige Folie hinter die Öffnung des Hintergrundpanels geklebt und dann das weiße Happy Birtday-Stanzteil außen aufgebracht. Mit Hilfe von Foam Tape habe ich die Rückseite des Panels genügend Raum für die Pailletten geschaffen.


Das Happy Birthday-Stanzteil der ersten Karte konnte ich nun auf eine zweite Karte aufbringen. Diese wollte ich relativ simpel halten und habe mich dafür entschieden, nur einen Embossing Folder für den Hintergrund zuverwenden und zusätzlich durchsichtige Embellishments aufzukleben. 

Ich hoffe, euch haben diese Karten gefallen! Habt eine schöne restliche Woche!

Wishing you a lifetime of happiness

Hi everyone, this is my last post as a design team member for Craftin Desert Divas. I've decided to step down for the upcoming term but I had such a wonderful time at this incredible and talented team!

For my final card I created a rather unusual one for this time of year. But I guess everybody needs some cooling down during these hot summer months. I printed these cute penguins on some mix media card stock and colored them in with Zig markers.


I decided to create a distressed background using different shades of blue. I then die cut the distressed card stock with the medium square of the Inside Scalloped Square dies and keep both the frame as well as the inside piece. Using some foam tape, I adhered the square on a standard white card base and also adhered the penguins in the center.


To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment "Wishing you a lifetime of happiness" with black ink below the square. 


I hope you enjoyed this last card from me. Have a great day!

Treasure Trolls

Hi everyone, I am back with a card featuring the Treasure Trolls stamp set by Craftin Desert Divas.


I started off stamping the little troll on mixed media card stock and colored her in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I then went ahead and printed off the digi mine stamp on mixed media card stock and also colored in the background with the same markers. 

For the outer frame, I used the largest Inside Scalloped Circle die and die cut it from white card stock to create a contrast to the dark mine background. Using the circle die from the Stitched in Circle die set, I die cut the background and also a standard card base making sure to let the die hang over the folded line to create a circle shaped card base. 



Now everything that was left to do was to assemble the card. I adhered the background to the circle shaped card base. Using liquid glue, I then adhered the outer frame on top (it's a bit larger than the card base but not too extreme). To adhere the troll I used 3D foam squares and placed her next to the tracks.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you soon!

10 years anniversary - 12 Dates Vouchers

Hi everyone, today I am back with a very special post. Today is Alex' and mine 10 years anniversary! Wow! Can you imagine? 10 YEARS? Time flew by so fast and we've experienced so much together! 

And this is what we love to do - gain new experiences. We love to try new food, travel (I think Costa Rica was both our favorite so far), try out new sports (like paragliding), go the theater, concerts, comedy events. And that's why I thought "Why not plan some dates for the next year to come?" - 12 in total. I have to admit that this is not my original idea. I actually came across this idea on Pinterest and I thought it was a wonderful idea. So I made 12 date vouchers. I kept them very simple and tried to match stamps that I have with the planned date (which was, unfortunately, not always possible). 

I hope you have fun scrolling through the 12 date vouchers. See you later.

Welcome Spring! (DeNami Design)

Hello DeNami friends,

today I want to share this unconventional spring card with you. I was not sure if I really wanted to include such a large black area in a spring card but decided that it created a nice contrast to the distressed stencil background and the cute owls.


I started off taping a circle/bubble stencil to my white paper and applied two green inks over it. I then cut the panel into place and die cut a black background panel. I also stamped the Owl Love Birds on white cardstock and colored them with watercolor markers. Instead of fuzzy cutting the owls I decided to cut a white strip.


To assemble the card I adhered everything together and also placed a few mint green sequins on the card.

Happy Birhday Shaker Card

Today I have two shaker cards for you. Well, at least one in two color combinations. And I just love how they turned out. I was inspired by both Kristina Werner (who shared a few tips on shaker cards) and Nichol Spohr Magouirk (who created a couple of cards with distressed background and matching frames). So here I kind of combined these two influences. 


I started off stamping the amazing happy birthday sentiment from Mama Elephant on heat resistant acetate sheets and embossed it with gold embossing powder from WOW. Then, I created the distressed background piece. I used Canson Mix Media paper because I think the ink stays wet long enough to create a really nice and even blending. For the orange card I used Abandoned coral and Dried Marigold and blended both colors togeter. Using the double-piercred rectangle dies from Avery Elle, I die cut the background piece and also die cut a frame from the paper. To give the background a bit more interest I spritzed it with a few droplets of water. 


To assemble the shaker card I adhered the embossed acetate behind the frame and put down enough foam tape to create the needed dimension for my shaker material. I filled up the card with 6mm gold sequins and 4mm Tangerine sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.


I used the same method to create the second card. But this time I used Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio to create the background and filled the shaker with 6mm gold sequins and 4mm dark green sequins.
