Happy Holidays Snowman (circular card)


Hello everyone and happy Sunday! 
I hope you had a lovely weekend! A crafty one maybe? Well I did and this was the result ;o) It is my inspiration card for the "Fun Fold Card" challenge at Challenge Up Your Life. I decided on a round card base paired with the circular sentiment die.


I love that this challenge has made me think outside the box and I am so glad I did. I filled the inside of the sentiment with glitter paper by Lawn fawn and added a stamped piece of paper behind that. All this makes the snowman in the middle really be the star of the show.


I hope you are going to join us for this "Fun Fold" challenge! Have a look at the other DT's cards - they are a fabulous inspiration and I hope they will make your fingers itch to craft ;o) Have a lovely and wonderful week everyone! Take care and happy crafting, yours Maike

Stamps: "Santa's Wonderland" by Neat and Tangled (available at Simon Says Stamp)

Spring time fox

Heya everyone ;o)
Winter has been long eneough now, don't you think? So we at Challenge Up Your Life want to see some spring themed projects this time! I decided to create a birthday can with this lovely Penny Black stamp that has so many spring-elements combined:


I cut the coloured piece of paper down and added a metallic blue border around it by swiping the ink pad along the edge of the paper. It does look really cool and shimmery in real life. I added it to a card base that I had created by die cutting the panel piece two times, scoring the one in the back at about 1 inch from the left and gluing them together. Sometimes I really enjoy a different card base, don't you?


Lastly I added the strip of red paper with the white embossed greeting and my card was done. I'd love to see you "Goodbye Winter" card, layout or other project in our gallery at Challenge Up Your life. Let us fill the blog with springthemed happiness ;o))) Have a fantastic weekend and happy crafting y'all!!! Yours Maike

Christmas Series Card #5 / Weihnachtsserie Karte #5 (Exploding Box)

Hallo ihr Lieben!
Heute möchte ich euch meinen fünften Beitrag in meiner Weihnachtsserie und gleichzeitig die Karte für die aktuelle Crafty Cardmakers Challenge zeigen. Das Thema lautet "Farbexplosion" und als ich das das erste Mal gelesen hatte, kam mir sofort die Idee eine Art Regenbogenlich mit weihnachtlichen Motiven aus einer Kiste kommen zu lassen:

Heya my dear crafty friends!
Today I would like to show you the fifth project of my Christmas Card series and also my card for the newest challenge at the Crafty Cardmakers. The theme is "Explosion of Colour" and when I first read this I had an idea in my mind of a rainbow light coming out of a box carrying all kinds of Christmas images with it:


Zuerst habe ich ein dunkles Papier gesucht, damit die Farben richtig strahlen können und bin in einem 6x6 Papierpack "Silver & Gold" von We R Memory Keepers fündig geworden. Das habe ich mit der Wellenrandstanze ausgestanzt und den Spruch darauf in weiß embossed. Als nächstes habe ich die Box aus Kraft-Papier ausgestanzt und zusammengeklebt.

First I looked for a dark paper, so that the colours would really shine brightly and found the perfect one when  I looked through the "Gold & Silver" paper pad by We R Memory Keepers. Using a scallop rectangle die I die cut it to size and also white embossed the sentiment on it near the bottom. Next I die cut the box from kraft paper and glued it together.


Um den Regenbogen passgenau hinzubekommen, habe ich mein Lineal geschnappt und den Abstand der Öffnung der Kiste gemessen. Auf einem rechteckigen Stück Aquarellpapier habe ich nun einen ca. 1 cm hohen Steg in genau der gemessenen Breite mittig unten  aufgezeichnet und bin dann vom Ende der Linien in die jeweiligen Ecken am oberen Rand einen Strich gezogen. Den Bereich, der ein wenig wie eine stummelige Taschenlampe mit Lichtkegel ausschaut, habe ich mit Zig Markern coloriert, nach dem Trocknen mit den verschiedenen Weihnachtsmotiven embossed und dann ausgeschnitten.
Das Papier für das sollte etwa so aussehen. Der graue Teil muss später weggeschnitten werden. / The paper for the rainbow should look something like this. Cut away the gray area ;o)

In order to have the rainbow at just the right size I took out my ruler and measured the width of the opening of the box. I drew a land (I hope that this is the correct word - I couldn't really find a translation for the word "Steg" that seemed to be a 100% fit...) of the same width as the opening of the box at the bottom of a rectangular piece of watercolour paper. From the end of side of the land (?) I drew a line to the according top corners. I coloured the area, that looks like a very, very short torch with the cone of light coming out of it, in rainbow colours with Zig markers, heat embossed the Christmas images in white over it, once everything was dry and cut it out. 


Das Regenbogenstück habe ich mit der gleichen Stanze, die ich für das schwarze Papier benutzt habe, durch die Big Shot geschickt, damit der Rand oben übereinanderpasst. Die Box inklusive Lichtexplosion habe ich über dem Spruch festgeklebt und mit zwei weiteren Wellenrechtecken habe ich dann die Rückseite der Karte gebastelt. (Wie das geht, habe ich hier beschrieben: klick) Fertig ist die Karte und ich muss sagen, diesen schwarz-bunt Look finde ich richtig gut - sieht so modern aus... Was meint ihr?

I used the same scallop rectangle die on my rainbow piece as I had done to cut the panel, so that the top would match. I adhered the coloured piece to the box first and then added both to the black paper above the sentiment. Using two more die cuts of the same scallop rectangle in white I created the back of the card. (I have explained how that works in a little more detail in this post: click) And my card was done. I have to say I really love this black- multi coloured look - looks kind of modern... What do you think?
