For a wonderful Mom

Hi Folks,

Just a short post to share a card I made for my Mom. Haven't been crafting forever as you can read in my previous blog post... Have to say that I enjoyed getting back to my dies and design papers. Hope to be able to craft more often again...

I would like to be part of the BASTEL-TRAUM Challenge who's theme is rainbow colors.

At Addicted to CAS they have the code word MOM.

At the STEMPELKÜCHE Challenge they want to see design paper. 

Wish you all a great day

xoxo

Sending lots of Love

Hi Friends,

Just a short post to share a card I made recently with the Simon Says Stamp Set - Sending Happy Thoughts. I kept it Clean and Simple with some fancy color combination.

Wish you a nice evening and hope you can enjoy the nice weather.

Regards

Good Morning to all of you, 

3 More day and we are already starting the countdown for Christmas. And of course we are busy preparing Christmas cards. This is one of my latest creations. Quick and fun working with Simon Says Stamp products. I used the Heart Banner die. and sentiment set Big Scripty Greetings Holiday. For the background I used the distress ink squeezed lemonade and picked raspberry. 

Have a good week and see you soon for more Christmas cards..

Holiday Wishes

I hope you all had a nice week-end. I spent some time in Italy in the Valley of Aosta for a wellness stay. Wonderful spa with amazing Italian restaurant. Best way to spend a really nice and relaxing moment. 

I still had time to create some CAS Christmas cards last week. This is one of them. I used the Simon Says Stamp die - Stacked hearts. The sentiment is also from Simon Says Stamp - Big Scripty Greetings Holiday. For the background I blended 2 colors from Distress Ink : Peacock Feathers and Wilted Violet.

A few pictures of the wellness hotel in Pré Saint Didier. 

I wish you a nice week and once more I'd like to thank all of you for the lovely comments.

Hi Folks,

Just a short post to share my latest Christmas card. I got once more a lot of inspiration of Laura Bassen. I love her cards... 

For the background, I blended Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade onto some Strathmore Bristol Smooth Paper. The star die is from Simon Says Stamp - Among the stars  and the sentiment belongs to one of my favorite stamp sets from MFT - Hand Lettered Holiday. 

I got luck on my last card with Simon Says Stamp products, SSS re-posted my card on Instgram. First time this happened. I guess the bright colors helped a bit :)

Have a great day !

Good Morning

2 weeks ago I got my Simon Says stamp order and got some awesome inspiration from the card Laura Bassen came up with using the die set Christmas Cheer.  I blended 4 distress colors together (tumbled glass, twisted citron, peacock feather, picked raspberry). The die cut sentiment is also from Simon Says Stamp - Thankful. The snow flakes are embossed in white. 

I hope you like my colorful winter card. 

Thank's for stoping by.

Guten Morgen liebe Blogger,

Diese Karte ist für einen traurigen Anlass entstanden. Ich wollte nicht zu viel schwarze Farbe und auch nicht diese Motive mit Kreuz oder ähnlichem. Deshalb habe ich mich für das Segelschiff von Simon Says Stamp entschieden. Der Hintergrund ist mit Distress Farbe gemalt. Die Wolken sind Stanzen von Paper Smooches. Die Bordüren-Stanze ist von MFT.

Ich wünsche allen einen schönen Tag und herzlichen Dank für eure lieben Kommentare.

Guten Morgen liebe Blogger,

Und wieder gibts eine Weihnachtskarte. Natürlich... Hierzu habe ich eine neue Simon Says Stamp Stanze verwendet. Finde diese grosse Schrift super schön. Der kleine Spruch Holiday Cheer ist eine Stanze von Mama Elephant. Der Stern-Stanzer ist von Martha Stewart. Insgesamt eine ganz simple Karte.

 

Good Morning dear bloggers,

And of course another Christmas card... I used my new die from Simon Says stamp. I love this font looks so elegant. The little Sentiment is from a mama elephant die. I also used the star punch from Martha Stewart.

 

Heute haben wir unser Weihnachtsessen in der Firma. Das wird bestimmt lecker und ein riesen Spass.

Bei über 300 Kollegen gibts heute Stimmung. Ab Montag sind dann die meisten im Weihnachts-urlaub. Ich arbeite noch bis zum 24. mittags. Ab dem 27.12.2015 sind wir dann 7 Tag unterwegs. Eine Kreuzfahrt auf dem Rhein. Darauf freue ich mich schon seit Wochen :)

 

Letzter Endspurt vor Weihnachten... und somit wünsche ich allen einen schönen Tag.

Guten Morgen, ist heute bereits der 1. Tag des Herbst ? Naja einen Teil meiner Karte würde zu dem schmuddeligen Wetter passen. Die Herbstblätter… aber die fröhlichen Farben und der silberne Schmetterling sind noch nicht auf den Herbst vorbereitet :) 

Die Blätter Stanze ist von My Favorite Things Die-namics "Falling Leaves" (MFT-529). Die Sentiments stammen aus dem Simon Says Clear Stamp Set "Many Thanks" (SSS 101463).

Good Morning, my card could fit perfectly to the cold and wet weather, if you think of the autumn leaves… but of course this cheerful colors and the pretty butterfly can't be part of the autumn :)

Die leave die is from My Favorite Things Die-namics "Falling Leaves" (MFT-529). The sentiments are from the Simon Says Clear Stamp Set "Many Thanks" (SSS 101463).

Wünsche allen ein schönes Wochenende. Ich gehe jetzt in die Berge

Have a nice week-end, I'm about to leave for the mountains and a nice wellness day…

Guten Morgen, Heute wird geheiratet… Eine liebe Kollegin wird heute kirchlich getraut. Diese Karte ist zum ehren-Tag entstanden. Ich habe ewig gebraucht, bis diese so zustande gekommen ist, wie ich es mir das vorgestellt hatte. Die Herzen sind von Stampin up und der Text von Simon Says Stamp. Das ganze wurde in Silber embossed. Noch etwas mit blauer Distress Farbe „tumbled glass“ wischen et voilà. Um 16 Uhr geht’s los, ich hoffe die Karte gefällt  J

Good Morning, today is wedding day… A dear colleague is getting married this afternoon. This is the card I made for her special day. It took me forever to achieve this result. Never was happy with how the card looked like. I still managed finally to create a card as I wanted. The heart are from a Stampin Up collection and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. I embossed everything in silver and added some “tumbled glass” from Distress ink to finish off the card et voilà. Wedding starts at 16:00 hope the bride likes my card J

 

 

Ich wünsche allen ein schönes 1. August Wochenende.

Enjoy the week-end !
