Die letzte Karte aus 2016

....oder wie man das Jahr in Rosa beendet!! haha

La dernière carte en 2016
.... ou comment terminer l'année en rose!! haha


Hallo allerseits! ...heute sogar in deutsch und französisch bitteschön!
Salut tout le monde! ...aujourd'hui même en allemand et en français s'il vous plaît!

Eine etwas unrealistische Szene, aber warum nicht! - Manchmal darf man auch Rosa Schneeflocken sehen und erst recht zum Jahresende!

Une scène quelque peu irréaliste, mais pourquoi pas! - Parfois on peut aussi voir des flocons de neige roses et ce certainement à la fin de l'année!

Ich wünsche euch allen eine großartige Sylvester Nacht. 

Lasst die Korken knallen und habt irrsinnigen Spaß!

Je vous souhaite à tous une excellente nuit de la St. Sylvestre. 

Faites sauter les bouchons et amusez-vous follement!!

Poor little Snowman!

No snow far and wide, and I'm supposed to build a snowman!?!? 

Hello everyone!

At the Dream Factory we will close the year with this beautiful story that is:      Miracle on 34th Street.
I would like to remember that you still have two weeks to do a little something. -- But no rush, take your time and let yourself be inspired by the beautiful creations of our design team!

I was dreaming of a white Christmas but ....no snow! - So, my snowman is transparent * laugh *

and now I count the hours until the new year .......

Hi everyone!
After the pink card from yesterday, I have a blue one today!

A very simple card! - I made it with my new stamps from Scrap Plaisir :)

Too bad, the snowflakes in the background are not very visible! - surely a little too much light during the shooting!

Oh, if only we could have snow here too !! ....just a bit for the fun!!

Santa Claus was here!

Hello everyone!
Last month I took part in a competition in a French card making magazine.
The theme was: a Santa Claus in any form.

You see, red and gray again but .... this time with some greenery!  ;-)

I did not win, but it was fun and it made a Christmas card more in my stock *smile*

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Hello everyone!
I still have some Christmas cards to show you these days and I hope you're not tired of seeing them!

Still in white, gray and red tones. I do not know why but I loved this combination this year! 

A few leftovers were enough for this ultra simple card!

Thanks for your visit and see you soon with a new card!

Season to Believe

Hello everyone!

I'm back with a new Christmas card!

This card is super fast to do !!

I used the large Stampin'Up stamp to make the background, which is glued on a white card. Then I stamped and embossed just the part you see in red, I cut it out and glued it on white paper. To finish I added a small star of birch bark and a red wire! That is all!

Hope you like it! 

See you soon.

Ho ho ho

Hello everyone!

Today I continue with the Dream Factory. Every 15th of the month there is a new challenge and of course we have dedicated this particular month entirely to the Christmas theme! 

The film we have chosen for this month is called ....

Miracle on 34th Street

Das Wunder von Manhatten

Miracle sur la 34e Rue

My card is, as often very simple!

First I cut a frame in white paper with a corrugated blade. Then I embossed a little bit bigger gray cardstock for the background and die-cut the panel with Santa Claus and the little snowflake out of white paper.

Next I stamped the text in white on red cardstock and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Finally, I stuck everything on a white card - and voilà!

More inspiration??? Please, hop to the challenge blog and look at the lovely projects of my teammates!

Thanks for watching!

Happy Birthday Dédé!

Hi everyone! 

Today it's Dédé's turn!  - he celebrated his birthday a few days ago!

Dede is the shortcut of André (Andreas in German), ...a kind of nickname.

Dédé (my brother in law) loves motorcycles and cars but this year I did not want to make an umpteenth card with one of these machines on! So I did circles, tracks, and lines ....

...and all this very colorful - that's why I kept the bird colorless! - just with googly eyes ;)

In the speech bubble you can read: You did not take one more wrinkle!!

Have a pleasant day!

Little whisker!

Hi everyone!

It was my son's birthday and  ....he looves cats!

When I saw this guy, my heart immediately melted for him!! --  think it's a boy  ;-)

I found the "little mustache" so cute, that I had to have it for this birthday card!!

The original, "Happy", is a Georg Williams drawing 

and I obtained the permission from his daughter Katherine Williams 

to post this reproduction on my blog!

It is not a direct, but hand-drawn copy

...and it is not intended for sale or for profit of any sort !!!

Many thanks to Katherine Williams for allowing me to share this card!

Wishing a happy day to all of you!

Hello everyone.

First I want to welcome two new readers. 

Mariangela Mesquita (no blog found) and  Karin Gerlinde. - Nice to see you here!

Today's card is very simple and leftovers can be used very well!

The only ornament, a thick linen thread! 

The die-cut is Scrap-Plaisir. I cut it twice and used the second color to fill the hearts and the firs, 

then I stuck it with some foam pads.

The purple panel is structured with a SU embossing folder and the stamp is from WOJ. 

That's all! 

I'll go to play with 52CCT for the "Pick a previous 2016 Challenge" and for which I chose the "May Stash Challenge"

Thanks for reading and for the always so nice comments. <3

Have a nice day

Hallo allerseits!

Bonjour tout le monde!

Heute hab ich eine kleine Eule für euch.  

Aujourd'hui, j'ai un petit hibou pour vous.

Die Karte ist auch wieder sehr schlicht gehalten. Nur das Motiv und ein bisschen Embossing. 

Die einzige Verzierung, ein hellblauer Faden den ich ins innere des Kreises klebte!

Cette carte est également très simple. Juste l'image et un petit peu d'embossage. 

La seul décoration, un fil bleu clair que j'ai collé à l'intérieur du cercle!

Danke für's gucken ;) Bis bald mit einer neuen Kreation!

Merci d'avoir regardé ;) A bientôt avec une nouvelle création!

Keine Sorge,
...ja, ich kann noch deutsch und französisch schreiben aber das nimmt viel mehr Zeit in Anspruch und deshalb schreibe ich jetzt mehr in Englisch - ich weiß es ist nicht perfekt aber ich versuche es so gut wie möglich!!

Ne vous inquiétez pas,
...oui, je sais encore écrire en français et en allemand mais cela prends beaucoup de temps et c'est un peu la raison pour laquelle j'écris plus souvent en anglais - je sais que ce n'est pas parfait mais j'essai de faire le mieux je peux! 

Wieder eine super einfache Karte, für die man sehr gut Reste verwenden kann!

Die Stanze "Noël" ist letzte Woche bei mir eingezogen! - Sie wollte einfach nicht mehr so allein im Laden hängen und endlich in Einsatz kommen ;) ...und das von Hand ausschneiden wäre hier doch etwas Nervenaufreibend geworden! *lol*

Gold-Glitter Karton, - wie ihr seht habe ich sie gleich in sehr kostbares Materiel beißen lassen!! 

Encore une carte super simple, pour laquelle vous pouvez très bien utiliser des restes!

Le poinçon "Noël" est arrivé à la maison la semaine dernière! - Il ne voulait plus rester accroché tout seul dans le magasin, et enfin entrer en usage;) ... et découper ça à la main, aurait surement pas été bon pour mes nerfs! *lol*

Papier pailleté or, - comme vous le voyez je l'ai laissé tout de suite mordre dans du matériel très précieux!! 

Das ist alles für heute aber ich komme bald wieder mit einer neuen Karte!

Voilà tout pour aujourd'hui mais je reviens très vite avec une nouvelle carte!

Hi everyone!
The last days we had misty and rainy weather and this means - time for crafting --- I love rain 😉

....and guess what I did! 

Lots of Christmas cards .....that I'll show you the coming days

Let's start with a very simple card!

A white card as base, three scraps of paper, a sentiment stamp and some enamel dots or rhinestones,

...this is all what you need for this card!

For the tree, I cut a triangle into which I cut 3 small triangles on each edge - this goes very fast! 

Of course, you can use a die-cut to go even faster! ....not sure! ;)

Just stick all this little things together and choose the sentiment you love! 

This is all from me today - hoping you like this very simple card!

See you soon, 

Rosi

Hi everyone!

... this is our movie title for November at the Dream Factory.
Mainly you can use animals ... maybe combined with water, boats, wood, etc.

..... I need more Christmas cards!

Some firs and stars and of course a deer, to respect the theme ;) - and that it shines beautifully, it was punched out of a gold glittery cardstock - the text strip is also coupled with a little bit golden. 

I only used white paper for this card. The edges and the strip are dyed with Colorbox "Mint".

Wishing you a great week!

Many Layers

Hi everyone!

We are the first of the month and this means that we have a new challenge at House of Cards!
For November we would love to see many layers. You can use the image, or just the colors of our inspiration photo and if you're very inspired, you can even use both of them!

...take a look to what I have done

Not often, that I make cards with many layers and embelishments - but it happens! 

When I make such cards then always for people who are very close to my heart. 

I sent this birthday card to my sweet niece in Germany .....she loved it so much!

....On the original stamp there is a pitcher and a glass of lemonade instead of the cake. - I colored with felt-tip pens. 

Hope I could inspire you - not really by using the color palette but much more by the layers ;)

And here is the inspiration pic. 

Use the image, the colors or both! 

Thank you for reading!

Until next time....  ;)

Happy Birthday DF!

Hello there! I'm back, with fresh news from the Dream Factory!

Another year has passed and we are delighted that you still love to join us! That's why we want to celebrate our Blog Birthday with you!
For our birthday you can win some little prices at each design team blog - Yeah :))

This month we have a double theme: Twilight + Halloween.
You can show us anything concerning vampires, werewolves, love or simply Halloween.

To win one of these little somethings, simply go to the Design Team blogs and leave a comment there

.....so you are automatically in "the pot"  ;)

Bettina - Conny - Simi - Andrea - Vicky ....and of course me!

.... and here is my creepy little card  (ôô)

For the background and moon I used grey and black ink and for the solar eclipse orange ink and yellow felt-tip pen. 

The bats are made with a homemade stencil and black felt-tip pen.

The trees are Katzelkraft stamps but the sentiment is handwritten. I punched a key (from Obsession Impression) twice, to use only the key head on each end of the sentiment panel.

The final image is layered with a black cardbord on a white card, whose edges have been stamped with a Stampin'Up stamp and grey ink.

Here is the price you can win on my blog! 

It's not a very big thing - some stickers and stamped images, lot of die-cuts
and of course the halloween card I made.

I hope you want to win this little something -  you just have to leave a comment
and I will draw a random person among all!

Now, it's up to you!

.....we are looking forward to your creations!

Happy stamping, knitting, sewing and....  GOOD LUCK! ;)

Embroidered sieve.

Hello everyone.
Today I'd like you to show something unusual from me ^^
....but first, I am happy to welcome my new follower June Macfarlane (sorry, no blog found)

I saw some embroidered sieves on Pinterest and I wanted to make one - just to see.

Because the thing is vaulted, you can not as easily work the back, as with an embroidery hoop, each end of embroidery thread should be immediately hidden by the following, otherwise it is not possible!   .....or you must end your work with many knots --- not very clean!

This little thing cost me a lot of nerves, but when it was finished, I was really happy with the result!

Here is a closer view (please click to enlarge)

..........

I hope you did like this somewhat unusual thing.

Very simple card, eh!

.... BUT, if you pull the tab, colorful blooms come to light!

The blue pattern are stamped with Stazon on acetate and attached to the colorful paper, by using the tab.

This tutorial shows very well how such a card is made.

Bye for now....

Gatefold card

Hi everyone!

We are the first of the month and this means there is a new challenge at House of Cards. In this challenge we want to do some folding, but don't be afraid -- it's a very easy thing!
Do you know Gatefold cards?? ----- because this is what we would love to see  ;)

Look here is mine.....

It was very easy to do --- one folding on the left and the same on the right and I had my base card! 

I cut two panels from my homemade patterned paper (one for each gate) and I also cut a square from a white cardstock in which I cut another square to get a matching frame. Then I embossed the frame and inked it with "TEAL" from Colorbox. Next, I cut a square of corrugated paper in the same size as the square "inside the frame"--- at the same time I reduced the small white square of a few millimeters and glued it together with the corrugated paper.

To finish, I stamped the images and fixed the square with the frame to the card. ( The frame on the left gate and the square on the right gate)

The very last thing was to add the die-cut and some shimmer! 

I hope you like it .....

Now, look at this picture and create a gatefold card and/or use the colors.

Happy folding! 😉
