Girls just wanna have fun...

Hi everyone!

It's the second half on the Dream Factory and I want to remind you of our current challenge.

This month we have two movies...

Two is a Family and/or Bad Moms

The topics are:

Father's Day and/or Mother's Day - or simply masculine and/or feminine

My first card was for Father's Day, for the second one I chose the Mother's Day/feminine theme. 

To dress the girls I used the paper piecing technique (patterned paper for the one on the left and a scrap of homemade background for the girl on the right) - everything else I colored with watercolors. 

I backed the girls with pink cardstock and glued them to patterned paper, which I then adhered to a blank card. 

Hope you like it.

Have Fun!!

Katzelkraft - La nature est une symphonie

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day. This week I made a tag, using various stamp sets from Katzelkraft. 

The tag is cut out from one of my gel press experiments. 

I stamped the lace border on an different gel print, cut it out and adhered it to the bottom of the tag.  

Just above it, I stamped a small doodled border and highlighted it with white dots.  

I stamped the bird, butterfly, lily of the valley and text on the tag. Stamped the bird, butterfly and lily of the valley again on card stock. Colored the bird and butterfly with shiny metallic watercolor paints and the lily of the valley with alcohol markers. 

I cut out parts of the lily of the valley bouquet and adhered them to the already stamped flowers. Cut out the bird and butterfly and glued them on as well. Finally, I tied a piece of raffia to the tag.

Get a better view of the shimmering colors on this short video... 

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)

Hi everyone!

Today starts a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.

We close out the month with a technique challenge...

Emboss Resist

I stamped the beautiful snowflakes from Katzelkraft with Versamark on Bristol paper and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I then sponged the sheet with Peacock Feather (Distress Oxide) and punched out a large snowflake (Stampin'Up) which I backed with silver glitter paper. 

The tiny snowflakes, as well as the sentiment are from Stampin'Up too. 

Let's have a closer look at the punched out snowflake...

Have Fun!

Katzelkraft - Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day. I didn't make a lot of Easter cards this year....

I just love the fun animals of the "La ferme des animaux" stamp set and especially the goose with her puzzled expression! As you can see, she is quite surprised that it's Easter again....

 

I stamped the background with a chicken and egg from Heindesign in neon colors. On top I glued a black Polaroid die cut and added the chicken, eggs and goose.

The text in the small speech bubble is handwritten: Easter again??? The triple "Cluck" is from Stampin'Up

I hope you like the goofy goose as much as I do. - See you next Tuesday with a new cat power inspiration! ;)

Hi everyone!

New Saturday and new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

The theme of this week is

CHILDREN'S XMAS

Unfortunately, I have no stamps at all on this subject! Since I was also a little short on time stickers came to mind. 

After a little search, I actually found what I was looking for! Making the card was a breeze and thus I have yet contributed a bit to the theme... :)) Hope you like it anyway, even if I have done nothing really special for it!

Hi everyone!

Today starts our new challenge at the Dream Factory. 

This month we have 2 movies to choose from:

Two is a Family and/or Bad Moms

The keywords are:  Father's Day and/or Mother's Day - or simply masculine and/or feminine

I was inspired by "Two is a Family" as well as the colors of the poster. 

Using a piece of gel print for the background and two stamps from AALL&Creat, I created this cute Father's Day card. I thought the little girl as well as the saying from Stampin'Up would fit the theme perfectly! What do you think!

   +  

                                        Two is a Family             Bad Moms

                                           in two words: clumsy and tender         Actually not bad at all, just exhausted and on edge. 

Maybe you want to play with us... 

Have Fun!!

Hi everyone!

I want to remind you about our California Poppy Day challenge at the Day of the Month Card Club...

I love poppies! They seem so strong through their colors and yet they are so fragile and ephemeral!

A very simple card I made with the same set as this one. The text that serves as a background for the flower is from La Fourmi (stamped with Bermuda Bay). I stamped the flower, colored it with watercolors and then added green and black splatters to the panel. I then tore the edges down to the size I wanted. For the panel behind the text I used the larger flowers and the colors Pumkin Pie and Pear Pizzazz. The small sentiment is from another SU set.
