You are unbeatable

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at 613 Avenue Create! 

Anything Goes w: optional twist: "Play Time"

(create something featuring FUN)

My husband and I love playing tennis. 

So I made him a birthday card where we’re playing tennis together. Lol :))

The card was super simple to do! 

I stamped the mice and then colored them using just a few colors. 

I set up the net and put some grass under the mice’s paws. 

After that, I added some color in the background, glued on some clouds, then cut out the scene with a die.

First, I glued the cutout onto a slightly larger dark background, then onto patterned paper, and finally onto a blank card. Added the strip with the sentiment—and that's it!

The sentiment says: You are unbeatable

...and you, what kind of sports do you do?

Hope to see you play along with 613 Avenue Create

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

Our movie for this month is:

Cleaner

This month, we're making it easy for you—or maybe not!? ;))🤔🤔

Well, for some of you, they’re a piece of cake; for others, a real challenge. 

We hope you fall into the first category! LOL 

We're talking about 

Clean & Simple cards

Using an acrylic block, I created a background with blue and green Distress Oxide inks.

I then stamped the ground and the sentiment. Cut out the mouse and strawberries from a picture book (Deco Time) and glued them on. Done!

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at 613 Avenue Create! 

Anything Goes w: optional twist: May Flowers

(create something featuring flowers)

I made this card for a dear friend's birthday. 

She was my eldest son's nanny when I still lived in Germany. 

We've always remained friends, and she even visited us in France! The best nanny ever, 

and a friendship that has lasted 45 years!

The pop-up card is made entirely from Stampin' Up! products. 

I created it during a workshop with our crafting group. 

Unfortunately, I can't remember the specific products used, 

as they were provided by our Stampin' Up! demonstator.

When you open the card, the jar with the flowers lifts up. (colored w. alcohol ink markers)

The white stripe on the left leaves space for the birthday wishes ;)

Hope to see you play along with 613 Avenue Create

Unfurl Your Wings

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at 613 Avenue Create! 

The theme is: Things with Wings 

(create something featuring a bird, butterfly or bug))

Alternately "Anything Goes"

This is a 10-minute card! The background was in my stash, 

so I simply stamped the butterfly onto a botched color experiment, cut it out, and glued it on.

The butterfly looks a little blurry, which is due to the reflection of the Wink of Stella I used to brush it.

Hope to see you play along with 613 Avenue Create 

Have Fun! 

...and thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!

February marks the first birthday on my calendar, and I need to start making some cards. 

This one is for my son's girlfriend.

I stenciled the background with roses and leaves, using the colors “Picked Raspberry” and “Mowed Lawn.” Die-cut two branches, one from gold cardstock and one from green design paper, and glued them together. Die-cut the words from black cardstock, glued them onto white cardstock, and cut them out along the outline with scissors.

I haven't used an embossing folder in a while, so I decided to get out my brand new one!

I embossed a small corner of white cardstock and placed it directly under the die-cut branches to create a smooth transition to the stenciled area. This also helped to highlight the sentiment nicely.

Finally, I stuck a few enamel dots next to the birthday sentiment, cut the panel to size, and pasted it onto a blank card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday - Double Slider Card

Hi everyone!

We're heading into the second half of our current Dream Factory challenge, and I would like to briefly remind you about it.

 

Harald and the Purple Crayon

Anything Goes - In mainly purple.

You can use any color, but  PURPLE  has to be the main one!

Today, something a little less usual from me...

A few days ago, we made a little project in our Stampin'Up group. 

By pure coincidence, 

the colors of this beautiful floral card perfectly match the theme of the Dream Factory...

 

So, I would like to remind you of our challenge with this double slider Birthday card.

Here you can see how the thing works ;)

Thanks for stopping by.

And maybe you'd like to join us...
