Our guidelines


For A Little Fisher Man

I made a CAS card for a man or a boy.
I made it without a sentiment,
so it may be used for different occasions.
I'm still practicing my colouring.
This is a rather new discipline for me.
Until now I nearly always used pre-coloured images.
So well, - now I'm "learning by doing".

Recipe:
Creme double card A6;
Creme paper for the mat;
Blue and brown scrap papers (snippets);
Image: Coloring-Page.net;
Frame: Nellie's Multiframe die;
Starfish die: Marianne Design;
Colours: Caran D'Ache;
Brown distress ink for the edges, white and brown pens.
Tool: Cuttlebug.


Things That Make You Feel Happy

As I bought the digi set "Smooth Seas" from Beccy,
I thought I could use this wonderful sentiment
also for other cards then "sea cards".
Knitting makes me happy,
and I know that also other of my friends feel that happiness
with yarn and knitting needles.
So here is my last card,
a little special, perhaps.
And of course it was not easy to knit with toothpicks!!!

Recipe:
White double card, A6;
White card stock;
Embossing folder: Cuttlebug;
Spellbinders Scalloped Oval die;
Sentiment: Beccy (from the "Smooth Seas" set);
Toothpicks as knitting needles;
Green cotton yarn;
Blue distress ink and blue pen.
The blue background for the image is painted
with Tombow water colour.
Tool: Cuttlebug.


CAS Birthday Card With Strawberries

For this birthday card I used:
White double card A6;
Paper: Bringmann;
Pink scrap papers;
Image: Beccy;
Dies: Nellie's Multiframe and Spellbinders Oval;
Punches: EK Success Flower and Heyda Corner;
Text written on my computer;
Brown pen for the faux stitches and silver glitter on the flowers.



Birthday Card and Birthday Cake

Today my dear husband has birthday.
And because we both love cakes
and have been very careful
with such sweet and fat stuff for months,
we really enjoyed his birthday cake this afternoon.
I baked it myself, of course ;)

Creme double card, A6;
Blue paper for the mat;
Image and sentiment: Beccy;

Cuttlebug Mania Challenge: Interactive Card

It is Tuesday, and that means a new Cuttlebug Mania challenge.
Today we want you to make either
a pop up card, a slider card or a shaker card.
Well, a card or another project which fits the theme.
And please, do read and follow our guidelines!

I dared to get "out of the box"
and made my very first slider card.
Not that easy for old fingers. ;)

White card stock;
Dark green and light blue papers;
Scrap papers, different colours;

CAS, Danke für den Fisch!

At first I want to say a warm WELCOME
to Anesha and Stefanie as my new followers!
******
Ab und zu gibt es grosse Überraschungen,
die den Tag zum leuchten bringen.
Diese Woche hat uns ein Freund mitgeteilt,
dass er einen grossen Fisch gefangen hatte,
und er und seine Frau wollten uns ein Teil davon schenken.
Wir hatten eine sehr schmackhafte Malzeit.
Als Dankeschön machte ich ihm diese Karte.
Für die Challenge "Animal Friends" ist sie vielleicht "gewagt"?
Denn der Fisch ist ja tot! ;)
