Case-ing Christmas Challenge # 30

Today we are the 5th of the month and this means that we have a new challenge at Case-ing Christmas for you!
Asha's beautiful wintery scene want to be cased by you! ;) ...see at the bottom

For this challenge my inspiration was completly down and I had no idea what doing!
- No village stamp in my stash!! :(

Then, I saw this card!!

 .....and so, today I'm a Copycat and I have no merit! 

I fell in love with the gorgeous card from Laura and I just wanted do the same!! - slightly different but almost the same! 

I used a white background, which I have embossed and lightly sponged with blue ink. Then I added silver stars and a few pearl pen dots to create the wintery sky. The houses are Memory Box dies and the trees are hand cutted! I sponged all the elements with different inks before pasting. 

And at last, I heat embossed the sentiment in White on a vellum strip and I added some glitter to the roofs and the trees!

I hope you like it, even if I did not make much !!

Asha's gorgeous winter scene, which would love to be cased by you!! ;)

....weihnachtskärtchen ^^

....petite carte de noël ^^

Ja, ich weiß, "schon wieder eine", werdet ihr sagen!! Aber ich muß meinen Vorrat  erweitern - es reicht noch nicht!
Oui, je sais, "encore un autre", me direz-vous !! Mais je dois élargir mon stock  il n'est pas suffisant!

Diesmal eine ganz minimale Karte, weil's immer schnell gehen muß! Ich bin wie der Hase bei Alice im Wunderland, ich laufe immer hinter der Zeit her!

Sorry, das Foto ist ein bisschen dunkel aber ich mußte sie so drehen, damit ich den Glanz erwischte. - Im Bild unten, erscheinen die Farben besser!

Cette fois, une carte très minime, car je suis toujours pressé! Je suis un peu comme le lapin d'Alice au pays des merveilles,  je cours toujours derrière les temps!

Désolé, cette photo est un peu sombre, mais je devais la tourner de la sorte, pour capturer l'éclat. - Dans l'image ci-dessous, les couleurs apparaissent mieux!

Sie ist ganzflächig geprägt. 

An der linken Seite habe ich ein Stück rotes Papier, einen schmalen Streifen Hologrammfolie und einen funkelnden Sticker geklebt.

Mitmachen möchte ich damit bei der Less is More Challenge - (etwas Glänzendes)

Elle est embossé dans son ensemble. 

Sur le côté gauche j'ai collé, un morceau de papier de couleur rouge, une étroite bande de papier hologramme, et un autocollant qui scintille.

Je voudrais la joindre au défit de Less is More - (quelque chose de brillant)

Tschüss!

Bye bye!

Lot of Texture.....

Hello everyone!

Today starts the new challenge at House of Cards and this month we have a beautiful picture with warm autumnal colors. 

Like on the pumkins skin,  give a lot of texture to your creation  and / or use the colors of the photo.

I used colors and texture on a white card.

First I watercolored the birch leaves with autumnal colors, then I cut a window in the card cover and embossed it with linen cloth. 

The next step was to punch the birches and cutting out the birch leaves! 

At last, I just had to stick the individual parts and find a suitable text. - Here: "Autumn fragrances"

I think this is a beautiful topic and I am sure that you will be inspired :)

I wish you lot of FUN!

I found the image on this blog - maybe you like it...

You still have 2 weeks for creating something. 

Stitching, crochet, embroidery, cards, boxes, altered things - you know, all is welcome!

I wish you a happy day and - Have Fun!

Birthday card for a male ...

Tomorrow is my nephew's birthday - so, I needed a male card!

....never easy these kind of cards!! But....

tadaa,  - here she is!!

A scrap of corrugated cardboard, a little piece of a die-cut border, a bit hemp yarn with a knot - that's all you need! And of course a card and cardstock to stick the snippets! ;)

After embossing my card (is not necessary), I glued the corrugated cardboard on a piece of white paper. On that, I added the black die-cut and the knotted yarn. Then I glued this piece on a white cardstock which has been doubled with just a little bigger gray cardstock. The bold letters H. B. were made with a stencil and I also added a H@PPY B-D@Y just below!

Do you like it?

The challenge at LIM this week is Technology - I am thrilled to enter with my gears :)

See you soon, Rosi

Traumfabrik Challenge # 24

Hello there!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory - this month we have a German Blockbuster for you!!

"Fack ju Göhte"

(germanized and intentional misspelling of Fuck you, Goethe) 

Starting school, Graduations, Diplomas, Congratulations, etc. - everything that has to do with school is welcome here! 

... and this is what I've done!

I found this cute little guy on Pinterest, but I was not able to find the author of this picture. I simply colored the image with felt-tip pens and glued it on the embossed card.

The "C'EST PARTI"  (Let's go) is from SU.

A little card for a school beginner or congrats for a Graduated student? - There are many occasions in this time!!!

We're looking forward to see your ideas!

Rosi 

Oh la la,

how could I forget the new challenge "Early Holiday Wishes" at Simply Create Too?!?!?! 

I should be more careful next time! - because in addition, my card has been ready for a while!!

There it is!

I only used brown cardstock for my card. Two from the four front panels are stamped with "Early Espresso" from SU, - I used different Christmas sentiments for the upper left panel, and the other two panels are inked with "Early Espresso" and then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. - The deer is from Hero Arts.

....here and there a bit sponging with "Early Espresso" and voilà tout! - Hope you like it!

...see you soon :)

Nach Blau kommt Grün.... ;)

Heute habe ich eine Karte für die Challenge bei Less is More gemacht.
Grün & Gold heißt es da und was passt besser zu diesen Farben als eine Weihnachtskarte?!

Après le bleu vient le vert .... ;)
Aujourd'hui, j'ai fait une carte pour le défi a Less is More. 
Vert & or est demandée et qu'est ce qui convient mieux pour ces couleurs, qu'une carte de Noël?!

Die Stempel sind alle aus dem Set "Open Sleigh" von Stampin'UP.

Merry Christmas ist Gold embosst und für die Socken habe ich "Spanish Moss" von Versafine verwendet.

Les estampilles viennent tous de l'ensemble "Open Sleigh" de Stampin'UP.

Merry Christmas est embossé avec de la poudre d'or, et pour les chaussettes j'ai utilisé "Spanish Moss" de Versafine.

Der leicht strukturierte Hintergrund wurde mit Hilfe eines Knoblauchsäckchens erzielt! - Sie sind wie Kartoffeltaschen aus Kunststoff und können sehr gut zum Prägen verwendet werden!

Le fond légèrement texturée a été obtenu à l'aide d'un sachet d'ail! - Ils sont comme des sacs de pommes de terre en plastique et peuvent être très bien utilisées pour le gaufrage!

Ich bedanke mich für all eure netten Kommentare und wünsche euch einen schönen Sonntag,

Je vous remercie pour tous vos gentils commentaires et vous souhaite un agréable dimanche,

Do you like stitching?

.....so the new challenge at House of Cards is for you -- and for all those who doesn't like sewing, no worries, we would love to see faux stitching too! 

Here my cards to inspire you.

For my first card, I took two die cut panels of cardstock and sewed them together onto the card.  On the yellow paper I retained the punched piece, but on the blue I removed it! - I love the contrast that it gives!

For my second card, I stuck washi tape at the bottom of the brown cardstock and traced a circle! Then I sewed around this circle a few time. After that, I removed all the washi that was outside of the circle - so the body of the bird was done!  It remained to sew the tail, beak and feet!

To finish the card, I glued the panel with the bird on the embossed card, then I added, some faux stitching on the left and right borders, the button and at last the sentiment.

Hope this will inspire you!

Now, take your sewing machine or your "sewing" stamps and take the challenge :)

We are eager to see your créations!

Oooh, eine Weihnachtskarte!

Oooh, une carte de Noël! 

Schon seit langem wollte ich dieses 3-D Bild auf eine Karte bringen - heute hat es geklappt! :)

Ich frag mich, warum ich eine rote Karte benutzt habe - blau wäre vielleicht passender gewesen?

Il y a bien longtemps que j'ai envie d'utiliser cette image 3-D sur une carte - aujourd'hui c'est chose faite! :)

Je me demande, pourquoi j'ai pris une carte rouge - bleu aurait été plus appropriée?

... und natürlich geht es nicht ohne ein paar silber Spritzer!

... et bien sur, ça ne va pas sans quelques éclaboussures d'argent!

Ich wünsche euch eine tolle Woche! Bis bald! 

Je vous souhaite une super semaine! À bientôt!

Dream Factory - Reminder

Hello everyone!

Just a short post to remind our challenge at the Dream Factory. 

Sea, sand, beach, mermaids, fishes, shells etc. are the keywords this month for our movie 

"The Little Mermaid"

I've a bit inspiration for you ;)

This beautiful scene is a watercolor from David Schreirer. Do you like it? - ... I humbly tried to reproduce it! 

The sentiment is from Marianne Design. 

There are still two weeks to do something and 

we're looking forward to see your creations :)

Happy stamping, Rosi!

Slowly but surely

.... I have to start with the Christmas card production! I already have a few that I made for the different challenges in which I took part, but they are far from being enough!

So here is the one I made today :)

I thought the sketch at Less is More is perfect for a Christmas card - Gosh, it was really time!  My last participation at one of their challenges is sooo far! :(

I composed the little winter scene with die-cuts from Impression Obsession "Birch Trees" and "Deer Trio". The stamped trees and the sentiment are from Stampin Up. The background (can you see the moon?) is softly inked with Versamark "Deep Lagoon". I also added some little (just with the finger pressed) "swiss dots" snowflakes. - I really love the result :)

Hope my English is not too bad....

See you soon,

The Little Mermaid

.... an animated musical fantasy film, based on the Danish fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen.

Our Dream Factory Team has selected this enchanting movie for the August challenge.

Here's my idea ...

Fishes, water, boats, shells, beach, sirens ...are the keywords of this challenge!

I must say that I do not possess so much pictures of this category and once again I had to be resourceful otherwise! - I think you know what I mean ;)

This little mermaid is a printable image of a Lalaloopsy fashion doll - BUT ... it isn't printed! I copied with pencil and tracing paper from the PC! This is my preferred method - it saves me to buy stamps or images that I would rarely use ;) 

...I think it will make a nice card for a little girl :)

I colored with felt-tip pens and water. On the fish and the mermaid's tail, I spread somewhat, with sequins mixed Glossy.

Crochet, knitting, sewing, boxes, cards ..... all is welcome!

Come, play with us and create some wonderful things with this enchanting fairy tale.

We are looking forward to see what you'll do :)

CASE-ing Christmas Challenge # 28

Hi everybody!
Today I have news for you! From now on, the CASE-ing Christmas challenges will be monthly! They will begin every 5th of the month and end on the last day of the month. Please check out the Challenge Blog for more details!
Now, let's start and see what I did!

For the month of August, we have a gorgeous card from teamie Steph to CASE! (See below)

I chose her beautiful layout, but instead of lace and patterned paper, I used ribbon and unpatterned paper. Her big stars became tiny stars on my card, and I also added some silver and gray berries. The sentiment and deer are dies from Kesi'Art. --- Love how it turned out!

Now it's up to you! - Look at Steph's card and..... CASE-it!

Weihnachtskarte mit "Charme" und .... - Männliche Akzente!

Carte de Noël avec "Breloque" et .... - Accents Masculins!

.... die neue Herausforderung bei House of Cards!
Etwas aus Metall - Alufolie - Metallpulver zum embossen - Charme usw.

.... le nouveau défi chez House of Cards!

Quelque chose de métallique - feuille d'aluminium - poudre métallique pour embosser - une breloque, etc.

Lange hab ich überlegt bis ich fand, was ich dazu machen könnte!! - Dann, fiel mein Blick auf diesen winzigen Charme und ich wusste sofort wo's lang geht!! Ehrlich gesagt passt mir das gut denn ich brauche noch ein paar Weihnachtskarten und je früher ich damit fertig bin, desto besser!

Die Bäume habe ich aus Glitzerpapier gestanzt (Memory Box). - Die Schneeflocken sind mit Versamark gestempelt und der Hintergrund der Karte ist mit Swiss Dots embosst! Unter den Bäumen und dem Schneemann habe ich mit Flüster Weiß gewischt und etwas Glitzerkleber aufgetragen. Zum Schluß umrandete ich das Bild mit einem schwarzem Marker.

J'ai réfléchi un bon moment, avant de trouver ce que je pourrais faire!! - Puis, mes yeux sont tombés sur cette petite breloque et je savais où aller!! Franchement ça m'arrange bien, car j'ai besoin encore quelques cartes de Noël - et plus tôt je les aurai terminé, mieux ce sera!

Les arbres ont été poinçonnés (Memory Box) dans du papier à paillettes.  - Les flocons de neige sont estampillés avec Versamark et le fond de la carte est en relief avec des points suisses!  Sous les arbres et le bonhomme de neige, j'ai frotté avec Murmure blanc et j'ai appliqué un peu de colle à paillettes. Pour terminer, j'ai encadré l'image avec un marqueur noir.

Die Challenge passt auch perfekt für eine männliche Karte! 

Mein Mann hatte Geburtstag und ich habe ihm dieses "wertvolle Stück" gemacht ;)

Die geprägten Streifen sind aus Metalldeckeln von Margarineboxen gemacht - (ihr habt keine Ahnung, was ich alles aufbewahre!!). Sie haben eine leicht strukturierte Oberfläche und können sehr gut embosst und mit Stempelfarbe gefärbt werden - und genau das habe ich hier gemacht! Um die Streifen besser vom grauen Hintergrund abzuheben, hab ich sie auf blaues Papier geklebt.

Le défi convient aussi à merveille pour une carte masculine!

C'était l'anniversaire de mon mari et je lui-ai faite cette «précieuse pièce" ;)

Les bandes en relief sont faites à partir de couvercles métalliques des boîtes de margarine- (vous n'avez pas idée, de tout ce que je peux garder!!). Ils ont une surface légèrement texturé et peuvent être très bien gaufré et coloré avec l'encre - et  c'est ce que j'ai fait ici! Pour mieux faire sortir les bandelettes du fond gris, je les ai collé sur papier bleu.

Das wärs für heute. Ich sage euch ein dickes Dankeschön für all die netten Kommentare zu den letzten Posts und ..... seid Kreativ!
Wir freuen uns schon sehr zu sehen, was ihr dazu machen werdet!

Voilà tout pour aujourd'hui. Je vous dis un grand merci pour tous les gentils commentaires sur les dernier posts et .... soyez créative!
Nous avons hâte de voir, ce que vous allez faire!

A Midsummer Night's Dream - Reminder

Hello everybody!
Two weeks have passed and, as usual, I would like to remind our challenge at the Dream Factory! -- Do not worry, we are only half way and you have plenty of time to make something for the movie "A Midsummer Night's Dream"!

Here a quick card as suggestion

Unfortunately I do not remember from whom the stamp is (perhaps one of you knows!). 

My felt-tip pens and water came back in use - so it's rather watercolored!

I embossed the card and added a Crafter's Companion sentiment. Then I stuck the image on a thick piece of aluminum foil which edges were torn by means of a ruler and lastly, glued it on the card! - And Voilà!

That's all from me today. 

Check out the Challenge Blog for more inspirations - my teamies were very hardworking ;)

Looking forward to see your fabulous creations on the Dream Factory!

Hugs, and happy stamping!

Hi everyone! I needed a very quick birthday card because I was once again out of time. ^^

What?? ..... you think I'm often late! - not even true ;)

Look, here is my card!

Love its googly eyes - I've already done this kitty in a more vivid color, a few weeks ago!

This card also joins the Sunday Stamps challenge - they're going Grey this week :)

See you soon! Rosi

Simply Create Too - Challenge # 90 - "For A Precious Child"

Hi, everyone!

We have a new challenge at Simply Create Too for you! 

For the next two weeks our creations are dedicated to a precious child!  

Here is what I did!

Isn't he cute, my little dino? - A "Wild Rose Studio" stamp which I colored with felt-tip pens. 

I used a Cuttlebug folder for the background and the "happy birthday" is from SU. -- Very simple but I love it!

Check out the Challenge - find more inspirations - and ...... simply create too!!  :-)

Dream Factory: Movie - Challenge # 22 ---- A Midsummer Night's Dream

Hallo allerseits!
Zeit für eine neue Herausforderung bei der Traumfabrik.
Die nächsten vier Wochen heißt unser Filmthema "Ein Sommernachtstraum" und  wir möchten Elfen, Blumen, Sommer, Shakespeare, Liebe usw. auf euren Werken sehen.

Salut tout le monde! 
Il est temps pour un nouveau défi avec l'usine à rêves.
Les quatre prochaines semaines notre thème cinematographique est "Le Songe d'une nuit d'été" et nous aimerons voir elfes, fleurs, été, Shakespeare, amour etc. sur vos œuvres.

Hier ist mein Sommernachtstraum....

Voici mon songe d'une nuit d'été....

Die Schattenstempel sind von Lavinia aber ich hab sie mir nur "ausgeliehen" - wenn ihr wisst was ich meine ;) 

Den Hintergrund hab ich mit verschiedenen Farben gewischt und am Rand kam der Text mit einem Stempel von Penny Black. Ist nicht so CAS wie sonst aber ich hoffe sie gefällt euch!

Les estampilles d'ombre sont de Lavinia mais je les-ai seulement "emprunté" - si vous savez ce que je veux dire ;)

J'ai frotté le fond avec des couleurs différentes, et au long des bords j'ai appliqué un texte, qui est une estampille de Penny Black. Pas aussi CAS comme d'habitude, mais j'espère vous l'aimez!

Ich hoffe ich konnte euch ein bisschen inspirieren und wünsche euch wie immer viel Spaß.

J'espère je ai pu vous inspirer un peu et vous souhaite comme toujours beaucoup de plaisir.
