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.

Purple Onion Release

Hello everyone,

 

are you ready for some Christmas Cards with the brand new stamps from Purple Onion Designs?

The new collection is called Mistletoe farm and is so so cute 💖

 

My first card is a scene with a lot of different stamps. It takes a lot time to colour but I think that was it worth. I just love to create scenes with all the different stamps.

 

 

My second card is really simple but I finally wanted to use my Polychromos I bought last year 😂

I picked Curly and an older sentiment from the Holiday Marquee sentiment set. This sentiment I embossed with golden powder from WOW.

 

 

And the last card for today is also a scene with different stamps. Also coloured with my Polychromos.

 

 

Hope you like them.

 

Hugs, we see us tomorrow.

Frozen Tilda...

Good morning,

 

I can't believe that next week is Christmas Eve! And I have to do so much more christmas cards... Have you made all your christmas cards?

This is my new christmas card. I used this sweet Frozen Tilda from the new Christmas Party Collection. I just love all Tildas in costume.

 

 

I decorated my card with some pinecones, a white English Rose, Frosted Pomegranates, white Spiral Stamens, pearls and a white Cosmos Daisy.

 

 

I framed the cute Tilda with the snow globe from Magnolias Vintage Box last year. The stars around Tilda are also stamps from Magnolia.

 

The pretty patterned papers are from Majas Joyous Winterdays collection. All patterns are gorgeous and so beautiful. I coloured Tilda as usual with Distress Inks.  

 

The sentiment is an older one from Magnolia, too.

 

Hugs

Cold noses...

Hello,

 

christmas is still coming closer. And this means we have to do more and more christmas cards =)

That's why I have a new christmas card to share with you today.

I used this absolutly cute stamp from Whipper Snapper. I have found him on a crafting fair this year. 

 

 

The background of this image I made with my great  Distress Oxide Inks. They are perfect for making those Backgrounds. You can blend them more softly than the normal Distress Inks. I used the colours Black Soot, Salty Ocean and  Faded Jeans. I blended them with my round Blending Tool from Tim Holtz. It's so much easier as with the big blending tool.

The white sprinkles I made with Gesso. Here I took some paint on my brush and spatter it on the image. Of course I covered the image with removable tape ;)

 

 

The round stamp is an oldie from Magnolia. The lyrics are from one of my fav christmas songs.

 

I added a Little charm right beside the image. Unfortunately I have no more from my fav mittens from Tinas shop. Here you can find the more sweet ones =)

 

Both tags are movable. I love to cover everything with white gesso *lol*. The stamps on them are from Magnolia, too.

All about Christmas Time 🎅🎄

Good morning everyone,

 

with some delay I show you today my Card for the new challenge over at All About Magnolia Challenge.

I used on this card the cute Edwin with lantern and an older background stamp. This background stamp is one of my fav's and I love to use it for my christmas cards.  Maybe you have seen  that I used not a black ink for stamping the motifs. I used during the last months a dark grey from StazOn. I think the images look smoother as with black ink. I like that.

The Image is coloured with Distress Ink as usual. The light from the lantern is covered with Wink of Stella glitter. I love that =)

The snowflakes around Edwin I made with Frantáge in shunky white.

 

 

The pretty papers are from Maja Designs "I wish" and "Joyous Winterdays" collection. The "winter" cutting die is from Noor! Design and the trees behind the image are from Marianne Design.

 

The stamps on this tags are from Magnolias Vinatage christmas box last year. They are so sweet.

 

Have a nice day.

 

Hugs,

Susen

Merry Christmas... 🎅🎄

Good morning,

 

this time one day later as usual. Here is my inpiration for this week. I made a new christmas card for you. It's a christmas card in non-usual holiday colours but from time to time I also like this =)

 

I used an older Tilda for this card. I grab her in a second hand group and I'm so happy about her. She is dressed so lovely with her sweet hat.  

 



 

For the decoration I used different cutting dies from Magnolia: Christmas Tree, Star Tag, Old Swedish Lace and Bow. After cutting them out I covered them lightly with Gesso. The ski cutting dies are from Whiff of Joy (sadly no more available). On the ski in the front I stamped "Merry Christmas". The sentiment is from Magnolia.

 

The pretty patterned papers are from Majas Joyous Winterdays collection and Vintage Frost Basics collection. Behind the Image I put a little piece of the 4'' round Doily.

 

The star tags are movable. On each of them I stamped a sentiment from Magnolia (they are from the vintage box last year).

 

 

Hugs

Craft Heaven Shop │ New challenge

Hello everybody,

 

finally we have a new challenge over at the Craft Heaven blog. Our theme is "Christmas". So easy =)

I pimped an old mini pizza box with the adorable products from Tinas store. I have a detailed list at the end of my post for you.

 

 

The pretty papers are from Majas brand new collection "Joyous Winterdays" and the "Monochromes". This collection is going to be one of my fav's.

I used a lot of different Magnolia cutting dies. The shaker window I've made with my new cutting dies from My favorite Things (Die-Namics).

 

 

The pretty sentiment in the window is also brand new from Stempelglede. Just love their stamp sets. I have embossed it with white powder from Ranger and added some Frantáge around.

 

 

Tilda holds a snowball on her hand. It looks so pretty cute.

 

 

 

Both tags are removeable. The sentiments on them are from Purple Onion Designs.

 

Hugs

Susen
