A Christmas Wish

Hello everybody!
Two more days and the year bows! You are probably in the preparation for the new year and I wish you right now a wonderful New Year's Eve!
However, I would like to remind you that you still have two weeks to participate in our current challenge at the Dream Factory. - Maybe you want to be a bit quiet after all these festivites and create a little something!

This months movie is 

Home Alone

Maman, j'ai raté l'avion

I made this card as part of a Christmas gift exchange with my teammates at the Dream Factory. --- (we call that "Weihnachtswichteln --- I don't know if there is an English word for it)!

The upper part of the background is made with a stencil and the floor with a wood pattern stamp. I stamped, cut and embossed the image (Crafter's Companion) in several times and then layered it with Foam pads to get a 3D image. The mouse is from Katzelkraft. I colored with felt-tip pens.

... and here is the actual gift that accompanied the card!

The balloon and the teddy bear are made of felt. I drew, cut and sewed all the pieces by hand and then stuffed them. Before assembling the teddy, I wiped some brown ink on his face and on the rest of his body to give him a livelier look. A small nose and two tiny little eyes made of beads, and he looked really cute!

I removed the glass from the frame and replaced it with a gray, white-stamped cardstock. Now I had the background for the teddy and all I had to do was put him and the balloon in the frame!


The whole set!

The small package contains bar of chocolate 😉

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this post, despite much work for the festivites!

I wish you a splendid and roaring New Year's Eve - let pop the corks and slip gently into the New Year! 

Happy New Year!!

Wishing you the very best for 2018!!

Before the year ends

....I'll show you my last Christmas cards and some other creations I made, but which was not allowed to show before Christmas. 😉

Hello everyone!
Today and the coming days I'll show you my last creation from this year.

I made this cactus for my cousin's daughter. I do not know her personally, but we got to know each other through our blogs. During the year I launched an invitation on Facebook, which was to comment my post and then post it on its own profile. - She was one of the party and therefore got a little something from me as promised!

On this cactus you can easily stow pins, whether it is next to the sewing box or on the windowsill - he looks great in any case!

Oh, I almost forgot,

The cactus is knitted, the stones are made of felt and the pot is made of cardboard and decorated with washi tape. .......... the "flesh" of the cactus is made of polystyrene.

Hope you like it.... 

because tomorrow I'll show you another one! 😊

I wish you

a Merry Christmas  

...and a happy new year ♥

Merry Christmas

Hello everyone!

It's all about Christmas

The little boy is an image that I found on the web, the fir tree is from Scrap Plaisir. I used felt-tip pens for coloring and added some golden stickers for the frame. The sentiment is from Lora Bylora.

Golden stickers

Black, White and Red

Hello everyone!

Another Christmas card today .....yes, I must hurry !!!

I stamped some fir trees on black cardstock and then scribbled with a white gel pen over it.  Added some stars and snowflakes too! 

I glued the black cardstock to the white card, sat the sentiment and added the ribbon. And voilà a very quick and easy card!

Stamps: Firs, stars and snow (Scrap Plaisir); Sentiment (Stampin'Up)

Inks: Whisper White (Stampin(Up), Onyx Black (Versafine)

Advent, Advent ein Lichtlein brennt....

Yes, yes, I know, we are already at halftime but you know me, punctuality is not my first quality! - the package arrived on time!   .... and hey, I could not show it before! 😉

Hello everyone!
Today I show you this set that I made for a dear friend. I was inspired by Andrea's beautiful creation

...and here is my own idea.

A small Advent set. 

If you remove the lid of this box, four small scented tealights come to light. Everything is nicely decorated and equipped with what you need to light the candles. ....and so that nothing happens during shipping, the box was closed with a nice bow (not visible in the picture). 

I also made this card that I think fits quite well.

I used Design paper, vellum and a die-cut. The sentiment is stamped under the vellum. The layers are held together with an eyelet which I also used to fasten the die-cut!

Have a nice day and see you soon!

Stamps:  All from Stampin'Up

Inks: Olympia Green, Vintage Sepia, Smokey Gray and Onyx Black (Versafine) Whisper White (Stampin'Up)

Embossing: Softly Falling (Stampin'Up)

Enchanted winter tree

Hello everyone!

Today I have a tree for you that is somewhat enchanted by the magic of winter.

I used a dark blue background and heat embossed the tree (Katzelkraft) and the sentiment (Stampin'Up) in white. 

I added some stars in Whisper White (Stampin'Up), sponged the edges with dark blue and black ink and mounted it onto a white card. 

Have a nice day!

Stamps: Tree (Katzelkraft); Sentiment and Stars (Stampin'Up)

Inks: Majestic Blue and Onyx Black (Versafine); Whisper White (Stampin'Up)

White embossing powder

Something different!

Today, I want to show you something that I already did three months ago, and that has nothing to do with cards.

A sewing box...

....filled with some goodies!
I made it for a dear friend who mainly designs cards but sometimes, she also likes sewing beautiful things.

There are two drawers and many spools of thread that are decorative at the same time!

Everything is covered with design paper except the rounded edges of both sides. They are covered with beige fabric which is more flexible than paper.

It was a real challenge for me to work again with cardboard after many years. 

My last realization with cardboard goes back to July 2014 - a urn in the shape of a motorcycle! 

I hope you like this unexpected creation!

Have a nice day and thank you for having stopped by!

Angel

Hello everyone.

This is the second week for me as Guest Designer at Challenge Up Your Life.
....it's all about Angels this time!

I have no stamp or die-cut to make an angel, so I had to innovate! 

I drew wings on white paper and cut them out. - Ok, now I have wings but much too flat and too white!

So I had the idea to cut them out of tracing paper and emboss them .... and lo and behold, I liked it much better! 

Then, everything came by itself: 

The gray background,  the dry and gold embossing, the white disc for the head and the golden string for the halo.

Once all pieced togther I stuck the gray card on a white base card. ...Love it!

I was very happy to be involved as a Guest Designer at CUYL.

A big thank you to the whole team for the warm welcome!

Stamps: Sentiment (Stampin'Up)

Dies: Circles (Spellbinder)

Embossing: Seaside and Softly Falling (Stampin'Up)

Gold embossing powder, golden string

Et voici mes créations pour le Blog Hop.

Dieses lustige Trio + Schrift kommt von "Imagine That Digistamp"!

Zuerst färbte ich den Hintergrund mit hellblauem Aquarell. Dann colorierte ich diese lustigen Typen mit Filzstiften. 

Ich schnitt den Flügel und die Füße des Pinguins ab! ..... warum habe ich die Füße und den Flügel abgeschnitten?

Weil ich das Wort JOY aus einer selbstklebenden Silberfolie geschnitten, und es auf das existierende Wort geklebt habe! - Somit hat der Pinguin seinen Flügel und Beine wieder bekommen.

.... und um das Ganze etwas winterlicher zu machen, habe ich die obere Hälfte geprägt und den Boden mit funkelndem Schnee bedeckt.

Ce trio amusant + police vient de "Imagine That Digistamp"!

Tout d'abord, j'ai colorié l'arrière-plan avec de l'aquarelle bleu clair. Ensuite, j'ai colorié ces gars drôles avec des stylos feutres. J'ai découpé l'aile et les pieds du pingouin! .......pourquoi j'ai découpé les pieds et l'aile?

C'est parce-que j'ai découpé le mot JOY dans une feuille d'argent auto-adhésive que j'ai collé sur le mot existant! - Ainsi, le pingouin a retrouvé son aile et ses pieds

.... et pour faire paraître l'ensemble un peu plus hivernal, j'ai embossé la moitié supérieure et j'ai couvert le sol de neige étincelante.

Dieser lustige Hirsch kommt von "Digistamps4Joy" und er hat es sehr sehr eilig! - Weihnachten ist nicht mehr weit und er hat noch viele Pakete auf seinem Schlitten!
Auch hier habe ich mit Filzstiften coloriert und hier und da habe ich mit ein paar Glittergel Stiften nachgeholfen - leider sieht man es nicht auf dem Foto! :(
Das fertige Bild habe ich dann feinsäuberlich mit dem Skalpel ausgeschnitten!
Für den Hintergrund habe ich Yupo Papier und Alkoholfarben verwendet. Nach dem trocknen, was ja bei diesen Farben sehr schnell geht, habe ich hier und da ein paar goldene Sterne und die Schrift (SU) gestempelt und dann den Hirsch samt Schlitten darauf geklebt.
Sorry für das scharfe Blau, in Wirklichkeit ist es nicht so aggressiv!

Ce cerf amusant vient de "Digistamps4Joy" et il est très pressé! - Noël n'est pas loin et il a encore plein de paquets sur son traîneau!
Ici aussi, je colorais avec des feutres et ici et là j'ai aidé avec quelques stylos à paillettes - malheureusement ça ne se voit pas sur la photo! :(
J'ai ensuite coupé avec soin l'image finale avec le scalpel!
Pour l'arrière-plan j'ai utilisé du papier Yupo et des encres alcool. Après séchage, ce qui est très rapide avec ces l'encres, j'ai estampillé ici et là quelques étoiles dorées et l'écriture (SU) , puis j'ai collé le cerf avec le traîneau dessus.
Désolé pour le bleu vif, en réalité ce n'est pas si agressif!
