Reindeer Gift Card Pocket

Hi there,

I created this Gift Card Pocket using the Anjas Basteltraum Rentierpost stamp set:

• stamp one of the reindeer from the Anjas Basteltraum Rentierpost set with Lawn Fawn Crunchy Leaf and color the image with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers
• use Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils for extra shading and a white gel pen for the highlights
• cut out the CUTplorations ATC/Gift Card Pocket from Neenah Desert Storm kraft cardstock
• apply Versamark through the Lawn Fawn Snowflake Background stencil and heat emboss the snowflakes with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
• add a closing mechanism using die cut circles, brads and a string of twine
• ink up the edges of the pocket with Distress Ink Gathered Twigs
• decorate the envelope with die cuts from the Tim Holtz Holiday Greens and Funky Festive sets
• add a foiled die cut number "24" from the Spellbinders Be Bold Lowercase Alphabet and Numbers set

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Hi there,

I created this dimensional Christmas Card for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

• create a background on a square panel of smooth white cardstock using Distress Oxide Ink (Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers) - add some water droplets for more texture
• cut out a Karten-Kunst Weihnachten im Rahmen frame from turquoise cardstock
• assemble some mini envelopes with patterned paper
• add some hearts cut from pink glitter paper and faux stitching details with a white gel pen and a black fineliner

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Stamp Connection #22

Hi there,

connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Cornelia from Stempel Spass and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 3rd Sunday of the month and this is our 22nd transatlantic get-together!

Our requirement for this meet-up was:
Valentine's Day

This time we have a special guest. I invited the wonderful Wiebke from KomMa-designed to share her Valentine's Day creation with us. So make sure to visit her blog by clicking on this link.

• create a little envelope from patterned paper
• I took a 6,5'' square and scored it at 1 3/4'' on the left and right side, at 3/8'' at the bottom and at 1 1/4'' at the top
• shape the flap with the help of one of the CUTplorations ATC Tag Builder dies
• cut out the CUTplorations Peace Love Joy die from pink cardstock and cut it apart
• cover the sentiment with the Pico Embellisher (Shimmer)
• stamp some images from The Greeting Farm Wood Friends and Cuddly Thanks sets and color them with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
• add details with a white gel pen and more shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils

Now make sure to hop over to see Cornelia's Creation.

Thanks for stopping by. We hope to see you again at the ...



Yours,
