Stamp Connection #54

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 2nd Sunday of the month and this is our 54th transatlantic get-together!

Our requirement for this meet-up was: "CAS Christmas" and I would like to show you this quick and easy Christmas Tag:

• cut out one of the CUTplorations Tags #1 from Perfect Colouring Paper
• stamp the Heindesign Herzlicher Weihnachtsbaum with Memento Tuxedo Black and color the image with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
• stamp the sentiment from the My Favorite Things Btty Bears set with Memento Tuxedo Black 
• add some golden splatters with Finetec Mica Watercolor and some faux stitching at the bottom of the tag using one of the My Favorite Things Homespun Stitch Lines dies
• thread some golden and natural twine through the hole of the tag

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

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

Hugs,

Friends warm the Heart

Hi there,

the story of today's card is a little odd. Normally, I have an overall concept before I start creating a card but this time it was different. I wanted to try out a packing tape transfer. I used some oriental paper for this technique, which just had a little bit too much gold for my taste. The transfer worked out fine. I wanted to take it a little step further and decided to use this piece in my cutting machine and the result was a beautiful sentiment. I then decided to create a card using this sentiment and here is the result:

• cut the StudioL2E beautiful sentiment from the packing tape transfer piece and adhere it to a white cardbase using Multi Medium Matte
• stamp flower from Marianne Design Eline's Oriental Lady EC0127 randomly with Versafine Onyx Black
• stamp Heindesign Tigerkatze right above the "u" using a stamp positioner
• color the images with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and Zest-it
• add a little white pearl above the "i", Glossy Accents to the center of the flowers and Wink of Stella Clear Glitter to the petals of the flowers

I would like to take part in the following challenges:

Hi there,

clean and simple one layer cards are always the most difficult for me because I just like my layers and my little embellishments.

Here is today's card:

• use white cardstock as a base and cut it to a square 
• stamp image from Heindesign Vier Baby-Motive with Versafine Onyx Black and color with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and Zest-It
• stamp sentiment from Clearly Besotted Stamps Sweet Little Sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black right below the image
• add Glossy Accents to the pacifier, the pompon and the buttons to add a little shine

And since this step-by-step tutorial is really short, I would like to share a little trick with you:
I fill my Zest-it into an Alcohol Ink Blending Pen and use the fine tip to blend my Prismacolor Pencils. Between different colors I just draw some lines on a scrap piece of paper and the tip cleans itself.

I would like to upload this card to the following challenges:

One-Layer Simplicity Challenge #9: Hip to be Square

Enjoy your Sunday.

Yours,
Tanja
