Hello everyone,

EEK! It's already December and I still have no Christmas cards to show. It was my sweet Grandma's birthday on Saturday and of course I made her a card. I was so excited to finally ink up the gorgeous Concord & 9th «Blooms Fill-in» stamp set.

I love that you're able to get a different look by simply changing up your ink colors. I've used Dye Inks by Altenew and Simon Says Stamp. I also heat embossed the berries in clear and the flower stems in gold.

For the birthday greeting, I cut a strip of 40lb vellum, stamped the German sentiment (Stampin' Up! «Landlust») in VersaMark and heat embossed it with WOW! «Metallic Gold Rich Pale» embossing powder.

I'm entering my card to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge with the theme «Anything Goes».

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you tomorrow!

DT bastel-traum.ch Challenge #56

Hello everyone,

it's the 15th of the month and this means we have a new challenge over at the bastel-traum.ch Blog: Anything Goes.

 

This challenge will run until September 15th, 8:55 am CET (Central European Time).

I went with the Clean and Simple style and created this card using the gorgeous floral stamp from the Concord & 9th «Hello Lovely» set.

I stamped it in VersaMark at the top of a piece of coral cardstock and simply heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Love this tone-on-tone look. I also heat embossed the German sentiment (which means «Congratulations»; Dani Peuss Klartext-Stempel «Glückwunsch») in white.

To finish off my card, I added some small Nuvo «Morning Dew» Crystal Drops which dry perfectly clear.

With my card, I'm taking part at the Where Creativity Meets C9 Challenge #12: Anything Goes.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Concord & 9th Overlapping Leaves

Hello everyone,

for today's card I was inspired by a pattern on a tissue box ;-) I found the perfect stamp in the «Lace Leaf» set from Concord & 9th.

I stamped the leaf multiple times using Altenew Crisp Dye Inks in shades of aqua, blue and green. I love how these overlapping leaves turned out. Next, I stamped the German sentiment (which means «Congratulations»; Dani Peuss Klartext-Stempel «Glückwunsch») in VersaMark on a piece of vellum and heat embossed it in white. To finish my card, I added some white enamel dots from Doodlebug.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
