Hi there and thank you for visiting!

My card today is inspired by the Play With Paint challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Monday, I decided to play with the background for an Easter card.

 First I added embossing paste to the Studio 490 Wendy Vecchi´s Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend stencil, then I went loose with my spray paints and I also used a crackled stamp. For the image I used Whipper Snapper Designs Bambino stamp, I colored it up with my Copic pens and added some Glossy Accents to some parts. I cut out by hand and adhered with foam tape for dimension. The sign/sentiment stamp is from an old Panduro stamp set, I attached it with foam tape and the pin is made of a toothpick. To finish of I added some sequins and enamel dots.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Hello there!

My card today is inspired by the Acetate Tent Card tutorial over at Splitcoaststampers, I just had to make one myself. I have to say it was very fun and not as difficult as it may look!

I used some Tim Holtz Alterations dies, Mini Bunny & Bow Set, Plaque & Postage and Window & Window Box. The sentiment stamp is from Reprint. For the background, I used old designer paper from my stash, I also cut some eggs out by hand and adhered to the front.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello there friends!

I´m dropping in to share a Birthday card I created after I seen the color challenge over at Just Add Ink, it's really not my colors but for once I was going to give it a try.

This is what came out. I started by creating the background using my Distress inks and splattering some waterdrops. I had already decided to use Altenew's Painted Flowers stamp set so after stamping, I cut out my flowers with the coordinated dies and added some Glossy Accents in the middle of the flowers. I also die cut and embossed the basket using a ioStamps die. Next, I stamped the Scrapfabriken sentiment and die cut the bow using one CraftEmotions die. I sponged it with Distress inks and tied a piece of cotton thread around. A few bling stones are the perfect finishing details.

Wishing everyone a happy day!

Hugs, Birgit

Hello there crafters!

Today I have another Christmas card to share, I was inspired by CAS Christmas  and their Deer challenge, by the way... Happy First Birthday!

I used Art Impressions Reindeer Mini Shaker stamp set, colored up with my Copics and cut out by hand. I also added Glossy Accents and glitter to its nose. For the background I used MFT´s Snowfall stencil, embossing paste and loose glitter that I sprinkled over before the paste had dried. I cut out the Memory Box Pine Needle Border and sponged it a little with green Distress ink. I used a piece of leftover designer paper, stamped the sentiment and adhered it together with my deer using foam tape to get dimension. As a final touch I added 3D snow.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Congrats

Hello there crafters!

Todays card can be used for a birthday or any other occasion where you want to congratulate. Actually, I made it for a dry embossing challenge but as usual I did not get the card ready before the challenge went out.

I found some other challenges to link up to, listed below.

For the embossed background I used Sizzix Scallop Heart Doily set and Momento Teal Zeal ink. The Congrats was cut with a MFT Die-namics die and the panel that it was attached to were cut with one of  the Die-namics Stitched Scallop Basic Edges dies.

The Fly-By Friends stamp set are also from MFT Die-namics and cut with the coordinated dies. I colored all up with my Copic pens and added some Star Dust Stickles/Glossy Accents. The frame was made by using a couple of Go Create Large Frames Frilly #7 dies.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful week everybody!

Hugs, Birgit
