Das doppelte Lottchen #174

Hello everyone,

Can you believe it's been more than a month?

But I am back with a new Lottie and Lisa

For those new on my blog:

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:

Memory Box - Landscape Die

&

dies only / no stamps

There's not much to say about this - I created a set (card and tag) for this week and I think they turned out simple but nice:

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

Thanks for viisting!

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

Today Anni made a wish, and it is:

My favorite Things - Cool Day

&

Gold

We've had a mostly cold and grey week over here inGermany and I am totally not in the mood for Christmas cards, so I struggeled with Anni's wich. And gold will never ever (in no way) be my fav. color. 

I thought I'd make a cool background with just a bit of gold embossed details, spend some time coloring and really liked how this turned out. Then I colored and fuzzy cut the bear  and realized that the background and the bear would be competing on one card, so I decided to make one card for each, but both only turned out "okay" for my taste.

 I would also like to share some more cards. I got a huge bunch of new dies yesterday and had to try some of them out. I also used watercolor on all of them :)

 Here are the results:

Inkspirational - Photo Inspiration

Allsorts - In the pink
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Just Add Ink - "b" (Birds)

Cards und more - Use lots of color

Paper Players - Tic Tac Toe (Twine, Die cut, Girly)

Das doppelte Lottchen #163 (three of them)

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

Today I made a wish, and it is:

Memory Box Large Circle Burst Die

&

minimal coloring

Okay, I admit, I don't knoe what I was thinking when I came up with this challenge. I clearly had something in mind, but I just couldn't remember. So today I have three cards for you - from a very mininmal layout to a busy one, but all of them only have a little bit of coloring on them :)

 The first card is the most minimal one. I used the die to create a stencil and inked some white pigment ink onto my kraft cardstock. The fox got a tiny bit of Polychromos coloriing.

Not coloring as much as I normally would  - so not coloring the best I could - freaked me out and I wasn't too pleased with the result, so I decided to make another one:

The second card got a more interesting Layout, is still pretty CAS and only has a bit of coloring because these images only need very little color. I liked how this turned out but thought I might try again...

The third card is super busy with lot of diecutting and stamping Action. Is has lots of dimension, different Textures and still not too much coloring:

Hoewever, I feel like I colored to much oneach of the cards, so I think I cheated on my own challenge - so sorry! Hope you liked the cards anyway!

Today Anni made a wish, and it is:

Memory Box - Loopy Rings Die

and

Critter

When I made this card I had just receives some super cute Reverse Confetto stamps, so I just had to use the bird - I like it so much!

I totally wanted to go for some super soft ink blending and add a little "something" by die-cutting the loopy rings from craft foam. I am not too happy with the result, but well, this is what I came up with:

At least I like the coloring of that little guy ;)

Playing with my new products :)

Hello everyone,

I've been crafting a LOT today. I don't think I have been that crafty during the last three months or even longer, so I enjoyed it a whole lot.
As I told you in my last post  (about my trip to Berlin, meeting Anni and Birka) I spent a lot of money on new supplies. Tons of stamps, dies, inkpads, mists... All typed of stuff. So I have many things to try out and my mojo is jumping around in circles like crazy :)

I'd like to share three cards with you now (I made lots more, but I'll keep some for another post):

1) Hello with MFT Gnomes

Anni and Birka totally convinced me that I needed the You Gnome Me stamp set my my favorite things. They're cute and fun to color. I'm not a huge gnome fan, but Torico/ Birdie Brown just created the cutest creatures.
And when I saw the new MFT color challenge I new I was going to make this card:

My Favorite Things - Color Challenge

2) Glückwunsch with a cute lion

Have you seen my last lions cards? I used the Reverse Confetti lions last time. But I also have a new tiny lion stamp from Efco/ Janes Doodles - and that guy is super cute as well.

I CASed one of Annis cards here:

Mustard and Aqua - what a fantastic combo! I need to keep that in mind!

Seize the birthday - anything goes (Sentiment says "Congratulations")

Papertake Weekly - Build it up

3) für dich (for you)

Anni has two boxes full of supplies that she's going to sell, so I took a look through them and found a darling stamp set my Memory box that has two cute giraffes in it. I just haad to take it and give it a beautiful new home and some love.

This is the first card I made using that set (and my new speech bubble dies...!)

Little Red Wagon - thickers and stickers

Stanpin' Royalty - Keep it Simple

Thanks for stopping by and spending some time with me. Hope this inspires you - I appreciate your feedback! :)

Das doppelte Lottchen #108

It's Lottie and Lisa time! We had a break because Anni was on vacation, but finally the Lottie and Lisa is back!

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:

Papertrey Ink - Tremendous Treat - Christmas

and

Watercolor pencils

Es ist wieder Lottchenzeit! Wir hatten jetzt eine Pause weil Anni im Urlaub war, aber endlich ist das doppelte Lottchen zurück!

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:

Papertrey Ink - Tremendous Treat - Christmas

und

Aquarell-Buntstifte

I used a die from Memory Box and combined die-cut inlay with negativ space. I think it's neat:

Ich habe eine Stanze von Memory Box benutzt und die-cut inlay with dem Negativ kombiniert. Ichfinde, es sieht hübsch aus:

Now hop over to see what Anni created!

Challenges:
Addicted to Stamps and more - CAS

Herausgekommen ist bei mir diese Karte:

Und weil ich gerade so im Video-Modus bin, habe ich davon auch direkt ein Video für Euch gemacht:

Außerdem habe ich noch einige TAWS-Karten, die ich Euch noch gar nicht gezeigt habe, beide mit meinem neuen Lieblings-Set Breakfast-Club. 

Die zweite Karte ist für die aktuelle Be Inspired Challenge:

Und die nächste Neuigkeit:

Schaut mal hier - die Paper Smooches Patrol hatte mich im Fokus! Ich bin ja schon ein bisschen stolz!

Nun schaut, falls ihr das nicht schon längst getan habt, bei Anni vorbei, was sie aus dem Lottchen gemacht hat!

Die Rentiere von Memory Box gehören in jedem Fall zu meinen Favoriten unter den Weihnachts-Stempeln.
