Das doppelte Lottchen #139 and more

It's sunday, that means it's Lottie and Lisa time!

That means Anni and I usually pick a stamp or stamp set or die that we both have (we nearly have the same taste!) and create a card with this product and another task.

Today Ii made a wish, and it is:

Hero Arts - Woodgrain Backround

&

Rainbow

I am a sucker for everything rainbow AND woodgrain, so I thought combining both would be cool. I kept my card super simple:

 

• I white heat embossed the woodgrain pattern onto a large piece of cardstock
• I inked it up with Distress Stains (picked raspberry, barn door, spiced marmelade, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, broken china, peacock feathers - the purple is a mixture of peacock feathers and picked raspberry, because I had no purple Distress Stain dauber).
• I cut the feather shapes with my Silhouette
• I die cut the sentiment (My Favorite Things) from black cardstock.
• I assembled the card and added glossy accents to the die-cut sentiment
• A few enamel dot bring the card together.

This is super simple and a pretty clean card, but with all it's brightness, I don't think it needed anything else.

Stencil Sunday #4 - Adding Doodles

Hello again!

This is my 2nd post for today.
I'm over on the Create A Smile Blog today with a new Stencil Sunday video!

Have you ever used your stencils for doodling? If not - you should totally try - this is such an easy and fun technique with a big impact. check out the card and the video. You'll find a second card using this technique (and incorporating a little sneak peek) on the Create A Smile Blog :

 

 

Sweet Stamp Shop - grey cards for grey days

Hi there,

today I am bringing inspiration to the Sweet Stamp Shop Blog again.
I spend some thoughts on empathy when creating "feel better" cards and ended up with monochromatic grey card. You can find all the thoughts on the Sweet Stamp Shop Blog.

I'd love to share the cards that I made:

Don't you just love the look of monochromatic grey scenes? They always remind me of old photos.

The second one is not that much of a scene, but I still love it :)

Neat & Tangled Release Preview: Time Warp + A Long time ago

Hey there!

It's time for day 3 of the the Neat & Tangled's may release week! There will be 5 Sets this month - and they are all so adorable!

Today we'd like to introduce "Time Warp" +" A Long time ago" to you. It's from outer space ;)

I made two cards - one card with each set - but I had difficulties because when I wanted to create those cards, my heat gun dies. So the second one looks kind of messed up - so sorry!

As always there is so much inspiration from that awesome DT-team. I am always WOWED and inspired by that team - just too much talent over there!
So hop over to the Neat and Tangled Blog, to see what they made with this set!

There's also a giveaway on the N&T Blog, so I' sure you don't want to miss that ;)

Thanks for stoppin' by! :)

It's time for another challenge over at A Blog Named Hero:

Get out your favorite color medium, stamp some fun images and color them in. easy, right? That's what we do all the time. Pencils, Markers, Watercolor.. you have endless possibilities!

We're collaborating with Paper Smooches for all of July:

So I used the cute heart band-aid from Paper Smooches "First Aid Kit" Set and combined it with a Hero Arts background stamo. By adding vellum and enamel dot I created layers and details for more interest.

I think thar effect is pretty cool and I'll use it again soon!

Tickling Tuesday #18 - blowing ink with a straw

Hi everyone!

Time for a new Tickling Tuesday!

What's Tickling Tuesday?

Every tuesday I'll try to tickle your mojo with another video. Hope you like it and have fun!

Hallöchen!

Zeit für Tickling Tuesday! 

Was ist Tickling Tuesday?

Jeden Dienstsg werde ich nun versuchen Euer Mojo mit einem neuen Video zu Kitzeln.

Ich hoffe ihr mögt es uns habt Spaß!

Do you know that feeling when you come up with an idea and you really want to use a technique? Then you start to imagine the products you want to use and your finished projects looks different from what you had first thought of?

Well, this is what happened this time:

I wanted to use a  straw to blow ink around AND my new Paper Smooches First Aid Kit set. Now I have a bloody splatter card - oops! Well, I like it, but I know many of you won't.

So I'll share some more cards using the same technique today :)

Kennt ihr das Gefühl wenn ihr eine Idee habt und unbedingt eine bestimmte Technik benutzen wollt? Dann fangt ihr an zu überlegen, welche Produkte ihr benutzen könntet und am Ende sieht das Ergebnis ganz anders aus, als ihr Euch das zuerst gedacht hattet?

Nun, so war das dies mal bei mir:

Ich wollte die Strohhalm-Puste Technk audprobieren UND mein neues Paper Smooches First Aid Kit benutzen. Jetzt habe ich eine blutige Splatter-Karte - ups! Naja, ich mag sie, aber ih weiß dass sie vielen von Euch vermutlich nicht gefällt.

Also habe ich heute noch mehr Karten mit der gleichen Technik ;)

So, check out the Video to see how I did it. It's so much fun and the more you practice the better are your results!

Also guckt Euch das Video um zu sehen wie ich das gemacht habe. Das macht so viel Spaß und umso mehr ihr übt, desto besser werden die Ergebnisse!

I promised to show you a few more samples of this technique, so here they are;

1) Use your inks as a backdrop for your sentiment:

Challenges:

The pink Elephant - anything goes

Simon Says (monday) - the artsy stamp

2) Blend the background with inks on top of your splatter-pattern and use a die cut (I kept the cut out sentiment for another project, cause it looks awesome):

3) Use your splattered piece to frame your sentiment (or image!):

Challenges:

Addicted to Stamps - Anything goes

Okay this should have tickled your mojo, right??

If you use this technique, please leave a link - I'd love to hop to your blog and see your creation!

Have a nice (splattery) day ;)

Okay, I am totally in love with The Sweet Stamp Shop stamp. They are so cute! So when I got my stamps I KNEW I'd have to make a Tickling Tuesday with them. I made a tone-on-tone stamped background - maybe you like that technique.

OKay, ich habe mich total in die Stempel von Sweet Stamp Shop verliebt. Die sind so süß! Also wusste ich, als ich meine Stempel bekam, dass ich einen Tickling Tuesday damit machen MUSS. Ich habe einen Ton-in-Ton Hintergrund gestempelt - vielleicht mögt ihr diese Technik.

Thanks for visiting! :)

Das doppelte Lottchen #98

It's Lottie and Lisa time! 

That means Anni and I usually pick a stamp or stamp that that we both have (we nearly have the same taste!) and create a card with this set and another task.
Today I made a wish, and it is:

Paper Smooches - Little Fella

and

Get well card

Es ist wieder Lottchenzeit!

Hier einigen die wunderbare Anni und ich uns üblicherweise auf einen Stempel oder ein Stempelset , dass wir beide besitzen und gestalten (unser Geschmack ist sehr ähnlich!) mit diesem und einer Zusatzaufgabe eine Karte. 

Ich durfte wünschen, und heraus kam:

Paper Smooches - Little Fella

und

Gute Besserungs-Karte

This is what I came up with:

I picked the little dinosaur, because I thought his face looks like HE needs some help ;) I added some flowers from the Botanicals 2 set and a German sentiment. A very simple but fun card.

Und das kam bei mir dabei heraus:

Ich hab den Dinosauriert benutzt weil ich finde sein Gesicht sieht aus als bräuchte ER Hilfe ;) Dann hab ich noch ein Paar Blumen aus dem Botanicals 2 Set gestempelt und einen deutschen Text (von Dani Peuss). Eine sehr einfache Karte aber niedliche Karte.

Now hop over to Anni's blog to see her fabulous creation!
