July Rudolph Days CAS Kitty Snuggle

For this month's Rudolph Days card
I used this cute House Mouse stamp

"Kitty Snuggle" (HMI 1002) from 1999.
I stamped it on white card stock
and colored it with water color pencils and a water brush.
Then I made a thin green line at the edges
and wrote the word Peace on the card stock.

At last I mounted the card stock on a white double card, A6.
I think this CAS card doesn't need any stash.

Gemustertes Papier: Studio Light,
Restepapier.

Yesterday was my birthday,
and today I made a birthday card with this adorable bird,
an unbranded die I got from a crafting friend of mine.
There were more wonderful toys in that present,
so later on there will come more cards from me
made with my new toys.

Yellow and purple card stock,
Green and yellow scrap papers.
Embossing folder: Cuttlebug "Happy Birthday".
Bird die: unbranded,

Martha Stewart Heart board punch,

Greeting Card CAS

 For this greeting card I used the July freebie.
Thank you for a beautiful image, Beccy!

This time I did not use an extra mat as a background for the image.
I find the structured card stock on this A6 double card
good enough as a background.
The only paper I used: Yellow scrap papers.
The image is printed on a "normal" printer paper
and glued to white card stock.
With my Cuttlebug:
WeR Memory Keepers Nesting Card dies (2 x),
Spellbinders Circle die.
Stamp: Heyda.
(The blue around the card is my table cloth 😉)

Birthday Card With Yellow Flowers

I made a birthday card with a Norwegian birthday greeting.
The inspiration for this card I got from the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge
over at The Paper Players.

I used:
Cream cardstock,
Brown paper,
Cream, yellow, orange and green scrap papers.
Embossing folder: Darice.
Banner die: Marianne Design,
Leaves: Elizabeth "Curvy Leaves" die.
Flowers: EK Success punches.
Brown distress ink, white pen.
Glitter and Rhine stone.
Sentiment written on computer.
Tool: Cuttlebug.





I chose the diagonal line: "florals, yellow, die-cut"
and also this line "florals, birthday wood".

Not so much sunshine, but I think the yellow flowers are a sort of small suns.

A Girl's Card, CAS

During the last weeks we had extremely high temperatures here
in the middle and southern part of Europe.
(I live in Switzerland.)
And I had no inspiration for card making at all.
So my blog is rather empty .....
But today I made a card after a very long time.
Hope the inspiration will return soon.

I used:
White card stock,
Pink paper, blue scrap paper.
Image: Beccy.
I decorated the background with Nuvo Shimmer Powder.
Dies used:
WeR Memory Keepers Nesting Card die,
Marianne Design Note Key
Blue pen for the faux stitches and the notes.
Tool: Cuttlebug.


Cuttlebug Mania Challenge: Sketch

We have come to the last Cuttlebug Mania Challenge
before summer break.
This time we want you to use this sketch.
And please, read our guide lines!



I think some of our followers have discovered
that I don't comment on their cards any more.
The reason is that Blogger does not allow me to comment!
Since a couple of months
I have had problems with my account.
So sorry for that!
I hope that this problem can be solved.

Here is my card:


I used:
White card stock,
Pink, purple and black papers.

I played with the Nuvo Shimmer Powder and used it on the smallest half circle.
The inspiration I got after watching Tiffany Almeida's video on Sunday.
Unfortunately  you cannot see the beautiful shimmer on this photo.

With my Cuttlebug:
Embossing folder: Cuttlebug,
Smallest half circle: Spellbinders Circle Die,
Bigger half circle: Sizzix Dotted Circle Die.

The banner is  hand cut.
I also used 4 half pearls and a silver pen for the letters and the faux stitches.
