Who will eat the cake...?

Hello everyone!
We have a new challenge at the Dream Factory! - This month's movie is

Nine Lives

Voll Verkatert 

Neuf Vies ou Les Neuf Vies de Mr. Fuzzypants

We would love to see cats, cats and cats 😸😸😸


Look at my Birthday cats,

....they are eyeing at the cake!

For this challenge I played with my Katzelkraft cats, - they have not left their box for so long! :((

After stamping the cats - I had to mask a bit to put them that way, I masked them again and stamped the floor (Kaisercraft). I also left a bit of room for the tablecloth. I colored everything with alcohol markers and put a bit gloss on the cats' eyes. For the tablecloth I used a stamp from the set "We must celebrate" by Stampin'Up. 

The cake on the table is hand-drawn and also colored with alcohol markers. - I added a bit Wink of Stella on the chocolate icing and filled the hearts with red pearl pen - to make it more yummy! 

To finish I stamped the sentiment (also from the "We must celebrate" set), and added stitched lines along the edges with my quilter wheel. 

Surely you all have stamps or punches with cats, right ?! So, we look forward to your creations with these mini tigers! 

Happy stamping, cutting, punching....

Stamps: Cats (Katzelkraft); Floor (Kaisercraft); Sentiment (Stampin'Up);

Alcohol markers, Wink of Stella, Pearl pen, Quilter wheel, Glossy, 

Peace to the world

Hello everyone!

Just in time ....

.... that I finished my card for the challenge at Muse Christmas Vision.

Pam's card inspired me with many things! - The colors, the gold, the word, the circle - which I interpreted by a kind of star-shaped stained glass - gold embossed and watercolored with felt-tip pens. I embossed the background after coloring, just with thumb pressure.

... the only thing I did not have was a dove, but I find that the little bird replaces it with lot of dignity!

I also had to come up with something for the letters !!

I embossed a piece of paper with an embossing folder full of letters. - I cut out the letters I needed, sponged them with a bit turquoise ink and stuck them on the panel .....voilà!

I cut the finished panel a little smaller than the white base card and glued a large light blue strip of cardstock between the two.

Hello everyone!
Today I made a Christmas card .....we can never have enough of it, right ?!

I started with stamping the row of mistletoe and colored it with felt-tip pens. I stamped the image and colored it with colored pencils and then embossed this panel. I cut out a banner from beige cardstock, glued it on the panel, stamped the part of the image who was hidden by the banner and colored it with colored pencils. I masked the part of the image on the banner and stamped then the gingham pattern and the sentiment. I attached the banner with staples and glued the panel on a turquoise card. At last I added some white pearl pen dots to the mistletoe branches, and a bit of Wink of Stella to the snowflakes and the gifts.

Und hier sind meine Kreationen zum Blog Hop.

Et voici mes créations pour le Blog Hop.

Für die erste Karte habe ich das wunderschöne digitale Stempelset "Open Bloom" von MHK designs verwendet. Was ich an Digi-Stempeln mag, ist, dass man sie auf jede Größe einstellen kann! Hier druckte ich die Blumen in einem sehr kleinen Format, kolorierte sie mit Buntstiften und schnitt sie mit einer Schere aus. Ich habe den Text vergrößert und direkt auf die Karte gedruckt. Dann habe ich ein Stück Wellpappe auf einer Seite abgerissen und auf die linke Seite der Karte geklebt. Ich klebte die Blüten und wicklete noch ein Stück Silberfaden um sie herum. Eine weitere kleine Blume in der Nähe des Textes und ein paar Pearl Pen Punkte und das war's!

Pour la première carte, j'ai utilisé le magnifique set de tampons numériques "Open Bloom" de MHK designs. Ce que j'aime chez digis, c'est que vous pouvez les régler à n'importe quelle taille! Ici, j'ai imprimé les fleurs dans un très petit format, les ai coloriées avec des crayons de couleur et découpées avec des ciseaux. J'ai agrandi le texte et l'ai imprimé directement sur la carte. Puis j'ai déchiré un morceau de carton ondulé d'un côté et je l'ai collé sur le côté gauche de la carte. J'ai collé les fleurs et je les ai entouré d'un morceau de fil d'argent. Une autre petite fleur près du texte et quelques pointes de pearl pen et c'est tout!

Für die zweite Karte wählte ich diesen schönen Digi Stempel von Digistamps4Joy.

 Nachdem ich das Bild mit Buntstiften koloriert hatte, schnitt ich es mit Schere und Skalpell aus. Ich prägte den Hintergrund, wischte ihn mit etwas grauer Tinte und klebte ihn auf eine weisse Karte. Dann habe ich ein Oval aus dem Deckblatt gestanzt und das farbige Bild an diese Stelle geklebt. Der Text (Stampin'Up) ist auf der Innenseite der Karte gestempelt.

Pour la deuxième carte, j'ai choisi ce magnifique tampon digi de Digistamps4Joy. 

Après avoir colorié l'image avec des crayons de couleur, je l'ai découpé avec des ciseaux et un scalpel. J'ai embossé l'arrière-plan, l'ai épongé avec de l'encre grise et l'ai collé sur une carte blanche. Puis j'ai découpé un ovale dans la feuille de couverture et collé l'image colorée à cet endroit. Le texte (Stampin'Up) est estampillé à l'intérieur de la carte.

Let's Party!

Hello everyone!

Just a quick reminder for our current challenge at the Dream Factory!

Nowhere in Africa - Nirgendwo in Afrika - Nulle part en Afrique

... animals, landscapes, people - everything that has to do with Africa is welcome!

I found this adorable gang on the net, copied it by hand and watercolored it with felt-tip pens. 

The background is made with the confetti stamp from "We must celebrate" (Stampin'Up). I colored with felt-tip pens and added some faux stitching along the edges with my quilter wheel. 

I put the colored picture on orange cardstock and stuck it on the background. 

I cut the sentiment twice in black and once in gray and glued them together, moving the black words slightly over the gray to get a shadow illusion. 

I stuck the background on a yellow card and added the sentiment.

Now it's up to you, 

you still have two weeks to let it roar and growl and bleat, chatter and screech, etc. on your creations! 😀

HAVE FUN!!

Thank you for being here...

Hello everyone!
Some of you have recently joined my blog and others have been there for a while, but I still have not taken the time to write a few lines to welcome you! - That should change today!

I made this little bouquet for you, with flowers from my garden! 

Thank you for your presence and your interest in my hobby!

💗

Happy Holidays

Hello everyone!
....almost two weeks that I did not show anything!! - What a lazy girl I am!!
Today I wanted to make a Christmas card - you will tell me that we are still far from Christmas, but it is precisely because of that, the more time I have, the more I am late! 😉

Pretty simple this time. 

I watercolored two images with felt-tip pens, fussy cut it and stuck them to the stamped and embossed background. 

The right edge is punched, I wanted to remind on a bit of lace, then underlined with a strip of purple holographic paper. My first idea was to use golden holographic paper, but then I decided to use purple - it sparkles too and gives more pep to the card!

.... a little shade under the gifts and that's it!

Hello everyone!
We have a new challenge at the Dream Factory! - This month's movie is

Nowhere in Africa 

Nirgendwo in Afrika 

Nulle part en Afrique

... animals, landscapes, people - everything that has to do with Africa is welcome!

I came up with that on this topic!

I drew the elephant and colored it with alcohol markers. Then I watercolorized - do not know if the word is right - the background and gradually added different fussy-cut and die-cut elements until I liked it!

Voilà, I think it's a fun card!

Thanks for your visit and

Happy crafting!

Butterfly Wings

Hello everyone!
Can you imagine what you can do with butterfly wings? Me neither - at least not until yesterday!

Twofer's new challenge is about butterflies. 

You can use them as such or think of something completely different.

 I chose the latter and only used the wings!

The first card is a friendship card. 

To make the flowers I used the dies from Scrap Plaisir, you can see the set below. 

I colored the background with light blue watercolor. After drying I stamped stems, leaves (Scrap Plaisir) and sentiment (Stampin'Up). I colored the leaves with green Felt-tip pen and water.

Then I die cut a couple of butterfly wings for the flowers and colored them with pink Felt-tip pen and water. I pasted them on white paper, fussy cut it and glued it to the stems.

Finally I added three pearl pen dots near the sentiment and a faux stitching at the edges.

This card was in my head before I made the one with the flowers - hence the choice of butterfly wings - the only ones who allowed me to make a Christmas tree! 

I die cut the pair of wings twice from gold holographic adhesive paper and assembled them into a Christmas tree.

I stamped the Christmas word cloud in turquoise blue on a piece of white paper and stuck it, as well as the Christmas tree on the embossed sheet. To finish, I glued the panel on a turquoise card.

                                 

This is the set of butterfly wings of whitch I used the couple that you see on the closer view.

Have a Happy Day!

Monochrome....

... that was the challenge our Stampin'Up demonstrator gave us for the last swapp!

Hello everyone!
The title lets you guess what it's all about today!
The swapp took place in April but I have not published the pictures yet and when I saw the new challenge at Steckenpferdchen, I thought, ok, that fits!

....here they are!

... I made 15 pieces of it !! - The hardest part was punching and gluing all the tiny letters for the "Hello".....

But now from the beginning:

I started embossing the background with à linen cloth, then I stencilled with textured paste to make the pattern.

Next I die-cut the flowers, added Wink of Stella to the petals and stuck it to the card using foam pads. I also added a piece of gauze to each flower. I tore parchment paper into small strips and attached them with organza ribbon to the card. Then came the difficult part - gluing all the tiny die-cut letters! 😓....But also that had an end and I was really happy with the result! 

At the very end I put three small pearl pen dots in the upper right corner ....just for relaxing :))

Wink of Stella is so hard to photograph - here you can guess a hint of its sparkle!

Happy Sunday!
