Magengo Designs Butterfly Gift Bag

Today I want to show you a little gift bag...

What do you need?

I used follow products for this project:

How to make the gift bag?

I use white card stock for this idea. I open my working space for my Scan and Cut from Brother, Canvasworksspace. There I opened the box die and delete the butterfly, so I have only the gift bag.  I cut it out and save the small little butterfly. I fold and glue the bag together. 

I color the butterfly with my Karin Brushmarker in blue colors and add a glitter pen on this. I decided to add also Glossy Accent for a shiny effect. 

I print out different Geranium flowers and color it with my Alcoholmarker. After than I fuzzy cut it out and glue it on the bag with foam tape. 

I add a German sentiment (from Create a Smile, Krokusse). This means you are a special plant..., this mean something like you are wonderful...

I hope you like this inspiration. Have fun to try this and I can't wait to see you idea.

Sending Love SSS

I love it, if I can play with challenges, but mostly I have no time...

Oh, why to made the household, if you can play? Sometimes this questions come to my head. Maybe you think sometime the same?

This time is the theme

I searched in my stuff and found this stamp set, called Mandy's Flowers, perfect for this theme.

The sentiment is from another set, called  Tiny Words.

I am a subscriber from the wonderful Monthly Kits, can't wait for my one with the love theme, it is still not arrive. Hope it comes asap :)

Hope you feel inspired?

Flower Greetings

Today I found some time for me and my hobby. I decided to play along the Altenew Challenge.

What for colors?
beige, yellow and green

It looks like a real challenge for me. I have no frapani flower stamp, so I searched first in my stuff, what I have and found follow stamp set... "Painted Flowers" This is an older one and have different flowers. I decided my to use only the outline stamp and color it by myself.

I had the last Hero Arts Monthly kit in my hand and thought that will be great to combine.

What do you think?

How I made this card?

I stamp all flower outline three times and colored it with my Karin Brushmarkers. Than I fuzzy cut them out. I die cut the flower bag and a few petals stems from my Hero Arts Monthly Kit... 

I used Distress Oxide "Antique Linen" and stamped the small newspaper text on the bag (it is also in the kit).  Now it is time to put all together. I used a Embossing folder (from We are Memories)  to create a background for the flower bag. At last I stamped the sentiment form another stamp set from Altenew, called "Thoughts and Reminders". I add also a few enamels to the card. 

Hope you like this flower inspiration.

Wish you a wonderful Sunday and a amazing new week :)

Altenew Challenge Januar 2020

mostly I haven't time to play challenges like this, but this time I will give a change to create some new for this challenge. 

Altenew gives a color board for every month. this time are lilac, orange and green...

I search in my stuff for a idea. I think I made a fast card.

Ok my background was a little lighter as on the reference photo color... I used wild honey Oxide ink and spiced marmalade and made with them an ombré background. 

I cut out a circle and I stamped basil from the set Garden Grow and color this one with the other colors. I add a lilac circled frame to the card.

At last I used a sentiment from the stamp set Kind Words and add a smile to the pot...

I add glitter to the leaves and finished my card.

Hope you like it.

Thanks for visit my blog and for your lovely comment.

Simon Say Stamps Wednesday Challenge/ Use a Stencil/ Altenew

I am so excited to be a part as GD, called Designer Spotlight for this moth. 

Today I share you my second post.

Another great challenge start today... and I can use my Altenew stuff I have at home... 

I meet Tasnim and her husband on the first Show in Los Angeles on the CHA. It was the first year of Altenew and I can look how fast they grow. She made this with a lot of love and I like it.

Use a Stencil, Altenew

play and win

I combine Altenew with flower, a lot of flowers. I wasn't sure, if I have a stencil. I found two in my stuff, but only one will work for my idea. So I used them. It made so fun, so I made two cards for this challenge. On both cards the stencil is the background.

How I made this card?

At first I made my own A2 (US format) card. I use the stencil from Altenew, called "Grid" Stencil and lay it over the A2 card base. I add Altenew Ink Linestone... to the back, but not on the whole card. So it should be a little white around the edges.  I use my Altenew Metallic Watercolor to sprinkle a little gold to the background (it is hard to see on the picture).

Next I stamped the image on a watercolor friendly paper and color the flowers. I use also my Poychromos from Farber Castel to bring in a few details. After coloring I cut out the plants with the die's and arrange it on the card. If I was satisfied i glue down the image. I use foam tape for the big flower to lift it a little but. I add a sentiment from an other set, called "Classic Beauty" and add a few Altenew Enamels. 

How I made this card?

This time I stamped the flower first and mask this, before I made the stencil background. After I made the background I colored the stem and the bud. I color all with my Watercolor from Altenew. and let it try. after than I use also my pencils to made a little details in the flowers. I add a golden accent to the flower and sprinkle color to the card (red, green and golden). I use my white Gelly Pen to made a few dots in the middle to the flower, after than I use a findliner in black and draw the flower (outline and a few details). I think it looks great, so I decided me top add a sentiment. 

Now it comes another fun part, I cut the picture in a smaller rectangle and add it to a golden glitter paper from my stuff. I add both to a black paper and all together to my A2 card (red).

Simon Say Stamps Wednesday Challenge/ Fun with Florals/ Paper Roses

I am so excited to be a part as GD, called Designer Spotlight for one moth. 

Today I share you my second post.

A new Brand, never heard before, called Paper Roses from Australia. 

As I get the themes for this month I saw this brand and I searched about this wonderful stamps. I bought a few, because I fall in love with them. So this time you will see more than one card. Hope you will like they also. 

Fun with Florals, Paper Roses

play and win

I made 3 cards for this challenge. I will you show each one and write a little about how I made the cards. The images are super cute and easy to color.  

Cozy Winter

I fall in love with this really cute stamp set. So I bought two and send one to a crafty friend. At first I thought I can't use them, because the theme is Fun with Floral. I thought, why not, I can paint the flowers by myself and the idea was born.  

How I made this card?

I stamped the image on a card stock, which works with watercolors too.  I used a lightly ink for the no line technique from my stuff. After than I colored the image with Altenew Watercolor. For the wreath I used a circle die to create a better circle as freehand (otherwise it will be an oval, lol). For this technique I need a pencil and an eraser. 

After I had a lightly circle I draw with my brush leaves and blossoms to the wreath. 

I finished the painting with silver splatter and details from the new Altenew Metallic Watercolor set. 

I add a sentiment and cut the paper a little bit smaller than the card, because I want to lift it a little bit. So I use silver glitter paper from my stuff. 

I finished the card with a sentiment from the next stamp set :)

Cactus Quotes

I found this set is really amazing. There is only one image, but strong and funny sentiments.

How I made this card?

This time I use watercolor paper. This time I stamped again with an lightly ink for the no line coloring.  I used again Altenew Watercolor and Altenew Metallic Watercolor (this time a little bit gold). After dry I used a with Gelly Roll to bring in some details on the plant and the pot.  I add a sentiment from the same set. I used also the Gelly Roll there. 

I found again a rest of paper in my stuff and glue it under the plant. The card front is 4.25x5.5Inch, I add this to an A 2 card. 

Ella's Garden

What a wonderful flower set. I bought this, because I love flowers. and this sets have a lot of possibilities. I didn't bought the dies, so I fuzzy cut the image later...

How I made this card?

This time I used also watercolor paper.  I stamped the image with clear ink and eat embossed it with clear powder. This will help that the color stay in the areas I want to have them. I used my Karin Brushmarkers Pro and a waterbrush.  After color and after dry, I fuzzy cut out the images and arrange this on my A2 card base. I used a light green ink for two leaves. and arrange the flower stamp about this. For the tallest one I used foam tape. At last I use the sentiment from the same set and stamped it to a black cardstock and embossed this with white embossing powder. I add the strip of paper on the card and finished the last one.

It wasn't the last time I played with this stamp sets. They are so pretty. I have two more at home (Tulips and Poppies)... Not sure yet with which one I play next time :)

So sorry for the long post today. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments below.
