Winter Mail

Hi there,

I created this little Winter Mail tag for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

  • cut out a Karten-Kunst Tag from patterned paper
  • create an envelope from patterned paper and add a star cut with the help of one of the dies from the Karten-Kunst Tags die set
  • cut out the sentiment using the Karten-Kunst Kleine Sprüche Weihnachten
  • ink up the edges of the tag with Distress Ink Evergreen Bough
  • thread a string of twine through the hole of the tag


Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Hello Baby

Hi there,

I created this sweet card using the new Anjas Basteltraum Hallo Baby stamp set:

  • stamp the cute little mouse and four toy blocks from the Anjas Basteltraum Hallo Baby set with Lawn Fawn Jet Black
  • color the images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
  • create a background using Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar) and a cloud stencil 
  • add splatters with watered-down Ink on 3 Liquid Pixie Dust
  • stamp some of the little stars from the same set onto a piece of patterned paper with Versamark and heat-emboss them with WOW! Bright Whiíte Super Fine embossing powder
  • cover a cardbase with this piece of patterned paper and ink up the edges with Distress Ink Antique Linen
  • stamp the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black - the Hallo is from the Anjas Basteltraum Kleine Post Sprüche


I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
