Das doppelte Lottchen #160 + Video: Baby shaker

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

Lottie and Lisa 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 I made a wish, and it is:

My Favorite Things - Penguins in Paradise

&

use scallops

Scallops have totally been a trend some years ago and I feel they're coming back. All the beautiful dies released by different companies that have banners and frames and all the fun stuff with some scallops - I am in love.

I, however, do not own any scallop-dies, but my Big Mama (Brother Scan N Cut) did an Awesome job for me :)

Addicted to stamps and more - Make your mark

Simon Says Stamp - Anything goes

I also have a second card with nearly the same color combo  to share with you today:

We have a new facebook Group for all the Create A Smile lovers out there (Create A Smile Friends & Family - feel free to join us!) - and when I asked what everyone wanted to see in a video it came to baby cards, so this is the card that I made:

AAA cards - stenciling

Simon Says Stamp - we can see clearly

Now hop over to Anni's blog to find her creation :) She'll knock your socks off ;)

Thanks for viisting!

Video: Masking with dies and removable labels

Hi there, crafty friends!

I finally managed to prepare another cardmaking video for you!

Today I am talking about masking with dies (I am using the ice scone from the Create A Smile sending sunshine kit) and some removable labels - I am using removables by Herma and I am super impressed by them (I will tell you why in the video).

I used the brand new Create A Smile Sending Sunshine Kit

Fun and fresh, right? So are today's cards!

I talked about the labels on this blog a few weeks ago and I knew I wanted to use them as a masking paper. The intricate die was just perfect to play around with it :)

Just watch the Video to see all the steps:

Sorry, I kind of rushed trough the process, if you have any questions - let me know :) Here's a closer look at the cards for you:

Paper Minutes: Schablone/ Stencil

Finally - a new video :)

Happy new year!

Hope you all had a good start to 2015 - i dure did. (We had a friend with us, played games (Carcassonne) and ate Raclette (is that a internationally known thing? I have no idea...). It was wonderful.
Well, I'll never be a fa of fireworks, I think they're useless and mean to all the poor creatures outside, but dispite that I really enjoyed the night.

I also made a video that I finished this morning - so I can finally share anotehr video with you. (I feel bad I am not able to make a video for each tuesday at the moment... boo!)

I created this male Valentine's card:

I had not made a watercolor card for quite a while now and thought they would make a nice background for the large chipboard letters. I badly wanted to use those ;)

Stamps: Create A Smile - Balance

Chipboards: Create A Smile - Alphabet

Die: Simon Says Stamp Circ e Border

Embossing Powder: Wow Clear Gloss ultra fine, Hero Arts white

Ink: Versamark

• Using the blending tool with Versamark ink adds more options to partial heat-embossing.
• A regularly patterned washi tape makes it easy to mask off the edges correctly and even
• Add layers of watercolor to control the amount of color
• use your heat gut to move the watercolor on your paper

Hope you enjoyed the video - maybe I'll have another one on sunday.. I'll try ;)

Stay tunes and follow the Create A Smile Blog to see all the fun things coming up this year. The new release is coming up NEXT WEEK!.. Woohoo!

Tickling Tuesday #33

Hi there,

it's been a while - but I have another Tickling Tuesday video for you! It's midnight already and I'm i bed, so I won't say a lot. Hope you enjoy the video :)

Das doppelte Lottchen + Sunday Stencils #5

Hello lovelies,

Sorry I am late with Lottie and Lisa - my camera's battery went low so I had to wait - bad organisation, my mistake. But finally...


Hallo meine Lieben,

entschuldigt die Verspätung des Lottchens - mein Kamera-Akku hat gestern den Geist aufgegeben und ich musste warten - schlechte Organisation - mein fehler. Aber endlich...

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 Anni made a wish, and it is:

Create A Smile - Whimsical Wheels

and

following color combo:

I fire the fire-truck and turned it into a caravan by cutting the ladder and the blue light off. Ha - pretty simple! The panel was created with Lawn Fawn's Stitched Journaling Card die.  The sentiment is from Create A Smile's Für Alle Fälle.

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. 

Anni durfte wünschen, und heraus kam:

Create A Smile - Whimsical Wheels

und

folgende Farbkombination:

Ich habe das Feuerwehrauto durch abschneiden der Leiter und des Blaulichts in einen Wohnwagen verwandelt - ha, ganz einfach! Das Feld habe ich mit Lawn Fawns Stitched Journaling Card die gestaltet. Der Text ist von Create A Smiles Für Alle Fälle.

I would also like to share the Sunday Stencils video that I made for the Create A Smile Blog yesterday, hope you enjoy it:)

Thanks for stoppin' by - have you see the great card that Anni created for the Lottie and Lisa challenge?

Belated Tickling Tuesday #31

Hi there,

I've been a bit "our of order" yesterday (maybe a flu?) - so I was not able to upload a video yesterday.
But no worries - here it is: A christmas - shaker card with cookies :)

I used The Alley Way Stamps' "Buggin' Out" stamp set for the jar and the cookies. The papers are from the Digital Paper set "Christmas" by Betsy Rainbow. She has some more gorgeous paper pads!

I love how the frosting turned out - maybe you'd like to give this a try - I think it looks like a really sweet, yummy frosting. Watch the video to see how I did this:

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day! :)
