There is no place like home for the holidays

Good morning,

 

christmas is just around the corner and we all have to make more christmas cards, I think.

Last year I bought this wonderful stamp set from Magnolia and didn't use it. But now I took it out of my shelve and coloured it.

I decided to use the no-line-colouring. I'll be honest. I have to accustom to this style...

Because I love snow on my christmas cards, I used my Fran-táge.

The background I created with Distress Oxide Inks again. This makes every card look very special.

 

 

I hope you enjoy the christmas season.

Have a nice weekend.

Purple Onion Designs meet Craft Heaven Shop

Hello everyone,

 

today I have a little winter card to share. As the most of you know, I'm a big lover of the cute Purple Onion Designs stamps.

 

You can create sweet little scenes with all of them. They are perfect for every occasion.

I stamped together five cute charakters from different collections.

 

The background stamp and also the sentiment is from Purple Onion. The sky I made with Distress Oxide Inks. They can be used so easly.  

 

 

I hope you like this card.

 

Have a nice week.

Wedding Card in a box

Hello everyone!

 

Today I want to share a special with you.

My little sister got married two weeks ago and I made this little gift for her.

For the box I used the sweet Magnolia stamp from the You are invited collection. I coloured the image with Distress re-inkers.

Around the bridal couple I stamped some postal stamps from Stempelglede.

 

 

The sweet bow is called "Groom Bow" from Magnolia. I love the bows from Magnolia.

 

The patterned papers I used are from Maja Design; Celebration Collection and Vintage Romance (for the inside).

 

On the cover of my mini card (only 9 x 9 cm) I placed a wonderful chipboard from Scrapiniec called Wedding day. I wanted to Pop up a bit and embossed it with

Chunky White and Shabby White.

The sweet Mr & Mrs stamp is from Magnolia.

 Thanks for stopping by today. Hope to see you next week.

Notebook with Fruit Salad Tilda

Hello,

 

today I want to show you a quick notebook.

You only Need some Oxide Inks, white gesso, an image and  sentiment stamps. I love to use stencils for backgrounds.

 

 

For my notebock cover I used a lot of different stamps. Here they are:

Fruit Salad Tilda

Palm Tree

Follow your heart - Stempelglede

 

 

The palms, postmarks and the sentiment I embossed with white and gold. It looks so pretty.

The white splatters I made with a little bit of gesso and water. The effect is just amazing.

 

Hope you like this little notebook.

 

Have a nice weekend.

Ananas Tilda

Hello everyone,

 

it's a long time ago since I wrote my last post (here and on my blog).

I really hope to post more since the last months.

 

Today I start with a card by using the sweet  Ananas Tilda. Isn't she cute with her costume? I always love Tildas or Edwins in costume. They are my fav's.

I used the very pretty patterned papers from Pion Design.  The patterns are so soft and beautiful and Tina has some of them for a discounted price.

 

I coloured Tilda with my Distress Ink refillers.

The beautiful sentiment is from Stempelglede. I like their stamp sets so much. You can use them in so many different ways.

Some highlights I made with the brilliant Nuvo Drops in Bottle Green.

 

As you can see, I hide two tags behind the corrugated paper. The little Groom bow is so sweet and never used it before...I don't know why :)

 

Hope you like the card.

And take a look in Tinas shop. There are many new stuff like MFT stamps and dies (which I also love so much <3)

 

 

Have a nice weekend.

Woodn box with Trunk Packing Tilda

Hello lovely crafters,

 

I know, I am really quiet during the last month but I hope it's going to be better next time.

 

Today I have a little time to write a tiny post for you. This box I've made a while ago but I don't want to miss share it with you.

 

The background paper is from Magnolia. Also the smaller pieces behind Tilda are from Magnolia.  I really loved their patterend papers.

 

 

Tilda is from Magnolias Let's go collection. Isn't she cute? I noticed, that she is out of stock, but this collection has so many sweet stamps. You will love them all =)

 

I used many DooHickey dies from Magnolia. I love to use the Tilda Doily and the Tilda Tickets. Also the window frame is from Magnolia.

Have you seen the beautiful Scrapiniec Doily? The pretty Scrapiniec pieces are perfect for all you crafty works.

 

Have a nice weekend.

Wishing you Peace & Joy

Hello everyone,

 

it's still winter outside and so I can share the first christmas card for this year 😃

Because I love Tildas in sweet costumes, I choose  Tilda as toy soldier. She looks so cute.

All over my card I used stars. It's so pretty for christmas cards. The papers are from the Home for the Holidays collection from Maja Design.

 

 

The big Doily is from Magnolia DooHickey. Also the hidden Star Tags are cutting dies from Magnolia. Lovly 💕

Have you seen the tiny woodn stars? They are from Scrapiniec and called Confetti Stars. I use them whenever I can *lol* They are perfect for every christmas project.

 

On Tildas clothing I put some Stickles. It's a Little bit hard to see but it's there.

 

Here you can see both star tags with some German sentiments for christmas and the new year.

 

Have a nice weekend.

Have a sunny day

Hello everyone,

 

first of all I want to wish you all the best for 2019.

Sorry for being so quiet during the last weeks but now I'm back with my weekly posts over here.

 

At first I want to share with you this card I've made with the cute Tilda with Plant. Isn't she sweet? And the best? She is reduced at Craftheaven Shop 💖

I coloured her with my Distress Ink refills.

 

 

The shape of my card I made with the DooHickey Box Le Fleur. The shop was also included to this box.

The pretty patterned papers I used on my card are from Maja Design. As always I put on my card corrugated cardboard and painted it with White gesso. I love that vintage look.

 

On the edges I stamped a few times the poststamps New York from Magnolia.

I like to hide some tags behind the image, so I also did on this card. Here I used Bloomy tag.

 

Hope you like my card. See you next Friday. Have a nice crafty weekend.

Nurse Tilda

Good morning,

 

today I want to share a new card with you.

The autumn is finally here and that means the season with running noses and cold started.

And sometimes you need a little "Get well soon" card.

I made a card with the cute Nurse Tilda. She is coloured really fast and is not too big.

The colouring is made with my Distress inks (refills).

 

 

The pretty papers are from Vintage Romance 6x6 paper pad. I love this collection from Maja Design. The rose pink doily I cut out from Dusty Rose I paper from Pion Design Palette.

My card base I cut with the Vintage Square from Magnolia.

The Sentiment is from Tilda with broken leg. I used two cutting from this collection, Heart band aid and Jar with Pills.

 

I wish you a great start into the new week.

 

Hugs,

Susen

Tilda Cirque/ Enjoy Life

Hello everyone,

 

today I have a new card to share with you.

The cute Tilda I used on my card is called Tilda Cirque. Isn't she the cutest? And the best is, that you can grab her for a reduced price 😉 BTW, the whole collection is reduced at the moment. So, be quick to save them all.

Next to Tilda I stamped the pretty sentiment "Enjoy Life" from Stempelgledes "Follow your Heart" collection.

 

 

I added a lot of different die cuts as the leafs from the Invitation cutting die set, the bride bow and the  Dream tag.

Also I used some Flowers and berries from the Wild Orchid Craft range and papers from Majas Vintage Romance collection.

 

Hope you like this card and see you next week.

 

Hugs,

Susen

1st birthday

Good morning,

 

today I have a card for you I made for my little niece. She turns ONE on Wednesday. Because she loves if something is moving, I made a shaker card for her.

I used an older Tilda for this card. I love Tilda as a clown but I thought that a big red nose is missing, so I added it =)

 

 

Tilda is coloured with my Distress Inks. The nose is finished with Glossy Accents from Ranger.

On the little bark heart I put on a 1 and finished it with Crackle Accents.

The pretty sentiment inside the shaker element is from Stempelglede and is called Have a beautiful Day.

 

All the pretty patterned papers are from Maja Design.

 

 

Hope you like this card. See you soon.

Two simple cards with Oxide Inks backgrounds

 Good morning,

 

today I have two simple cards I have created completly without patterned papers. I love to create backgrounds with the Distress Oxide Inks.

My first card was made for a lovely friend whos got married in September. I used the sweet Mrs and Mr Magnolia stamp from the You're invited collection. BTW... this stamp is on sale right now 😉

Have you seen the hearts behind the couple? This is the Small hearts Background from Scrapiniec.

 

 

 

And my second card I've made is a christmas card.  Yes, christmas is not far away and it's time for me to start with christmas card making 😃

I used a very old Magnolia snowman but he is the cutest I've ever seen.

Behind the little guy I put the Snowy Forest. This was one of the very first DooHickeys I bought with starting this hobby.

 

Hope you like both cards...

 

Have a nice weekend.
