Happy Mail Collage

Hello Crafters! 

Before we get to today's card I 'm a bit sad to share that this will be my last post as a full member of the design team. My schedule is ridiculous and I just can't do these adorable stamps justice with my time constraints. However, I'm only  a bit sad because I'm moving over to the video team so I won't be completely gone :) I love Christine and the girls far too much to just leave! 

Now onto those adorable stamps we were talking about . . .


I spent the most wonderful weekend away with my girlfriends. While we there stamping and crafting I accidentally stole one of my friend's stamp sets! Eep!  
Since I stole her stamps I clearly needed to send them back to her but I couldn't do that without including a super cute card now could I? The Happy Mail set is perfect for this! I used every stamp in the set to create a collage on my card. 

I started by stamping and masking all the images onto my card base. I then used a very light hand and rubbed on some Salty Ocean distress ink. I laid down my swirly stencil and added more distress ink. This helps the design to be a bit more subtle. 


I removed all the masks and colored the images up with my copics. I used grays to create white objects and blues similar to my background color this really let's the red POP and I love that :) I stamped the sentiment and outlined the top with a white gel pen to set it apart from the rest of the images. Some sparkle on the hearts finished it off. 

Try a tone on tone look for some interest that isn't over bearing. To make one color pop keep the rest of your color subtle and similar. 


Thanks so much for joining me!

Release Countdown #2

Hello everyone!

It's release-countdown week!
That means we're introducing our newest products to you, sharing inspiration and also excitement :)
Countdown 3 means there are 4 more days until the new products will be added to the shop.

From this month on we'll have an English and a German version of our stamp sets, so our German customers get to enjoy matching (punny) sentiments as well - yay!









 So much fun stuff to play with! 
Any favorites? Must-haves? Something for your wishlists?

Time for some inspiration!
Today I would like to share projects by Terhi and Samantha with you - be prepared for amaziingness (I think is not an actual word, but well.... ;) )
. Before we get started I'd like to show you what's waiting for you during the next days:

Thursday:     Countdown "1" Giveaway-day!
Friday:         Countdown "0" IGNITION!!!! Sets will be released at 10 am CET (3 am EST)

Let's see what we have for you today ;)

Terhi created a splash of color on her layout using Crokisses. It's jaw-dropping sensational - and all the details! <3








Sam also went color-crazy on both of her cards. For the first one she used Happy Mail and drew attention to the little snail by dropping splashes of color onto the background and also color the snail pretty bright - I am in love:





For the next card Sam simply smeared some paint onto her cardpanel and stamped the sentiment from Happy Days on top. The Chevron background and the folded and torn edges add some great details :)




 I have some cards to share, too:

The bottle from Message in a Bottle / Flaschenpost just screamed "shaker! SHAKER!" at me so I just coudln't resist making a shaker card with some sequins and some citrus colors:





For the second card I used the just re-stocked Time to say thanks and combined it with the brand new Happy Days sentiment set. Simple, but bright :)




Only two more days until all these sets come to the store - and we got such amazing feedback by all of you - thank you, thank you, thank you! You ROCK!
