Have a Cup of Cheer

Hi everyone!
Christmas is getting closer and closer and I would like to briefly remind you 
about our current Dream Factory challenge

 
Candy Cane Lane
Anything Christmassy Goes



I dry-embossed a panel of blue cardstock and glued it onto a blank card. 
I then pasted on the punched-out circle with the cup, which I had colored with alcohol ink markers. 
The silver circle, I die-cut from the lid of a cheese package.


Wishing you a wonderful and cozy Advent season!


Thanks for stopping by.

And maybe you'd like to join us...

Best Wishes

Hi everyone!

I am delighted and honored to be a guest designer at A Place to Start for the months of June and July.
The theme for June is

ANYTHING GOES w/OPTIONAL TWIST: 
Recycle


I'm a big tea drinker, so I recycled one of these bags, to stick to the twist of the challenge. 

First, I laid the open bag flat and coated it with a layer of gesso. After drying, I stamped the flowers and leaves, then colored them with Posca pens and alcohol ink markers. I also added some golden accents to the flower petals. 
I then created the background with blue, white, red and black acrylic paint and left to dry. I stamped the sentiment on the teabag label. Glued the teabag and label on a blank card, then stamped a background pattern in both corners of the card. Hope you like it.



The contents of the teabags are also recycled, which makes my plants and vegetables happy! 🌻🍅😎




Hope to see you play along at A Place to Start ...

Katzelkraft - I am happier than...

Hi everyone!
It's Katzelkraft day :)) 



Today I used “Enervy dog”, an older but no less funny mini stamp from Katzelkraft.
Apparently he hasn't had time to drink his coffee yet, judging by the look on his face. Lol

I really enjoyed making this ATC. As a background I recycled an old birthday card, which my husband received many years ago. Commercial cards are always more or less shiny, so I brushed the ATC with a little gesso to reduce the shine and also to be able to stamp. Otherwise, I'd have had to use StazOn ink, which I don't like the smell of.
Enervy dog is sitting on Flat pebbles, one of the new Katzelkraft stamps (both colored with alcohol ink markers). 
I also used some background stamps, such as Spiral borders and Background circles.
The quote is from the Sea cube quotes by Tera Callihan, one of the new Stampotique by Katzelkraft stamp sets. I heat embossed it onto black cardstock, cut it into labels and stuck them on.



Here you can see the card I recycled. 
I even used the border for the pebbles.



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

Peace & Joy

Hi everyone!
New Saturday and new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown
This week is a color challenge and we would like to see the following color combo on your cards


RED - WHITE - AQUA


Using an old credit card, I applied white and turquoise acrylic paints to Bristol paper. With the credit card and a piece of corrugated cardboard, I tried to add texture into the still wet colors.  After drying, which was very quick, I cut the part of the sheet I liked best to use as a background. Stenciled the stars with texture paste, spritzed the panel with white ink and adhered washi tape to the left edge.
The bird and the fir trees I recycled from the washi tape packaging. The second fir had advertising print, so I flipped it over and covered it with washi tape. The ground is made of torn washi tape. The sentiment is from Lora Bylora. 

I hope you like it as much as I do!

Have Fun!!

Jouyeux Noël

Hello everyone!
New Saturday and new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. This week we are playing with

Metallic Papers 



For the background I chose black cardstock debossed with gold metallic stars. 
The bottom part is made from a piece of recycled corrugated cardstock whose top edge was rounded with a die. 
The fir trees are die cut from self adhesive holographic foil and white cardstock. The sentiment is stamped on watercolor paper, cut to size and attached with staples.

Hope you like it.

Recycling + Mixed Media


Hello everyone!
Actually I just wanted to make my crafting table accessible.....
There are a lot of things lying around because it is very difficult for me to throw away even the smallest piece of paper, not to mention a punched piece or a "failed background", and as soon as I had the first remains in my hand, I got stuck! Instead of tidying up, I put things back and forth, on top of each other and next to each other...



...and little by little something like a picture came into being! 
I couldn't help it, and I was holding on to it obsessively! 
This is the result! 
...I am really very surprised by myself, but I love what came out! ;)


The background is actually a failed "in quotes" background that was originally intended for this card. - Ah, too bad I didn't take a picture before using it! But if you look closely, you can still see two lines of the outline of the mask's face, just between the branch and the left wing of the butterfly. - The rest is covered by the scalloped circle.
The butterfly and the little sentiment just above it - I had one of each left - are from this card swapping project.
The balloon, too, is a "more or less" failure! It was originally supposed to be on this card.
The flower behind the circles, it goes back a long way! It is printed on tracing paper, but was too large to have been used for the project at the time.
As for the circles, they're one of the remnants in creating this card.
The clef and the note are cut-outs that have got stuck in a stencil. 
The frog came from this card, I probably overdid it! Haha
I can't say for which projects the branch, the ladybugs and the strip with the writing were intended, but hey, you can't remember everything! 

Well, that was the story of that card, a somewhat unusual style, I must say, but I hope you like it!
