This time I play with follow challenge: 

Magengo Design | Ballett Stage Shadow Box

  Hi, Ute here with a new inspiration. 

This time I show you a shadow box and add on from Lawn Fawn here, so it is a little bit faster, but if you have no dies for shadow boxes you can made itself. 

Magengo have also a Theater SVG set which I link below. 

I use here the Ballet Stage stamp set again, with all the cute bunnies. I add only two bunnies into the box, because you have trouble to see the bunny which is jumping, if I add at the front. 

I used follow products:

I also use Distress Oxide Ink, Lawn Fawn Shadow Box Card Die and addo-n  Shadow Box Card Theater, Ditstress Glaze and a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp "Tiny Words Faith".

Alternativ, you can use this die and create your own Shadow Box :)

As I made this card I thought to a family we know in USA. The parents wish to complete a family, but there was a problem. They have trouble to get pregnant. So it was a long way with prayers and waiting. God hear the prayers and give the family a gift. It is a girl, she love princess, singing and ballet. 

In Februar she will celebrate her 4. Birthday. I will send this card to her and hope she will like it. 

Don't give up, even if the the time is difficult. 

Wish you all a great new Week and stay healthy.

CAS Birdhouses Christmas Card

 Today I was playing after work with a Challenge from Create a Smile.

Ok, the MOODBOARD is really a Challenge for me. Hmmm, I saw this colors and fall in love, but with all the other things... I thought about, what can I do? 

I decided to play with this challenge: 

Something with rain or a window or yarn ( two colors green and grey) or recipe...

I looked at my Adventskalender (is only in German) and saw the bird stamp on my table and the idea was come...

I fall in love with this cute birds and why not to use a sentiment from the calendar?

I stamped firstly the houses on wooden paper and cut them out. I cut also the circle in the middle out and add a paper, which I was colored in a brown tone. Than I add a few shadows on the houses and colored the top with a warm grey and the ground with a lighter grey. The lights i colored only white. 

I add cord on the card and use liquid glue. The cord is white and silver. For the green I used the Rosemary from the Hero Arts Set CM155, it is an older stamp set and I couldn't find another name for this set.  I stamped this 4 times with two different green inks and add this to the top of the card over the cord. 

I used two birds from the set. I colored them with my Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Marker and add this on the houses. 

I stamped the sentiment "nun wird es besinnlich" from the calendar on my card in two different colors. This means "now it is getting thoughtful". 

I add white on the birds to for accents. At last I add a few more glitter on the roof and the herbs. 

I hope you like my card idea. 

I wish you a wonderful 2. Advent and hope you will find some time for crafting. 

Hugs Ute

#95 Winter Challenge BT "Aus der Ferne ..."

  Heute startet die neue Challenge bei bastel-traum.blogspot.ch
Today starts a new Challenge by bastel-traum.blogspot.ch

Dieses Mal geht es rund um das Thema Winter. Schaue bei uns auf dem Blog vorbei und lasse Dich inspirieren. Jedes DT Mitglied hat sich etwas besonderes einfallen lassen. 

This time is the theme Winter. Please feel free to visit our challenge blog to show what the talented DT made for wonderful inspiration for you. 

Wie werden diese Hintergründe gemacht?
How I made this backgrounds?

Winter oder Weihnacht oder gemischt? Ich war nicht sicher, was ich für eine Karte werkeln werde. Zum Schluss ist diese hier entstanden... Ich habe den Himmel mit Copics gemalt nach einer Idee von Sandy Allnock. Ich dachte, es wäre cool, wenn die Füchse einen Stern nachschauen, wie einen, der zur Zeit Jesus Geburt geschienen hat. Dies musste ja ein ganz grosser gewesen sein. Die Füchse sind von Lawn Fawn "Upon a Star". Ich habe sie auch mit Copics ausgemalt und mit Details versehen (Buntstiften). Danach habe ich sie ausgeschnitten und auf der Karte arrangiert. Noch ein wenig Schatten und fertig. Das Sentiment kommt von Stampin Up. Zu letzt habe ich den Hintergrund auf eine Karte geklebt.

Winter or Christmas or..:? I wasn't sure, what I will show you... I find this little cute foxes and I thought it will be cool, if the look to the Polar star a big one, like the same as Jesus was born? So I decided to draw my own sky with Copics. After drawing (idea are from Sandy Allnock) I color the foxes and cut them out. The sentiment is from Stampin Up. I add the foxes to the card and glue the sky background to a base card.

Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Post Gnome Beach

Hello I am again with a new Inspiration.

So sorry, that I am a little late. My PC died and I need a new one. I am so happy, that I get fast a new one, but I had trouble with blogger, because it didn't work well in all browser. After changing I can write blog post 's again. So this is the reason, why this post comes with delay. 

This time I will show you the very cute beach gnomes. 
They are all so happy and it make me happy to craft with them. 

I made this card as inspiration and it was the birthday card for my tall son Colin. 
He is now 13 and is so tall how the father. Unbelievable, how ca a 13 years old boy be so big?
 He is mostly so sweet like the gnomes on the picture. 

How I made this card?

At first I print all the beautiful gnomes on card stock and color them. After then I cut all out with a small white border. I used Lawn Fawn Dies for the front (border, palm trees, also for inside the beach die's). I made the water by myself and pop up in the card. I distress sky and beach and add the gnomes inside. 

The sentiment comes from Hero Art. 

Thank you.

Hugs Ute

#88 Farbkombination/ Color Combination

Heute startet die neue Challenge bei bastel-traum.blogspot.ch

Today starts a new Challenge by bastel-traum.blogspot.ch

Dieses Mal geht es um eine Farbkombination. Wir haben zwei Schemen. 

Schema eins ist eher in Natur Farben gehalten und das zweite eher verspielt, rosa. Es ist wichtig, dass man für eine Karte mit nur einen Schema nimmt und diese nicht mixt.  Zeigt Eure Inspirationen auf dem Challenge Blog und wer weiss, vielleicht holst Du Dir den Gewinn. 

This time we have a new challenge with the theme Color Combination. We have this time two schemes. One have more nature colors, the other one is looks playful, but what do you prefer? Show us your inspiration, choose one scheme or made more cards and show it on our blog for win change. 

Dies ist meine Inspiration zu diesem Thema. Ich benutze das zweite Schema. 

This is my inspiration. I used the first scheme.

Lawn Fawn Butterfly Kisses

A new challenge for playing have started by Lawn Fawnatics :)

the theme is

Bring it back

I am not sure, when I used buttons, ribbon or masking tape the last time, sometimes, but not often I used sequins. So I looked at my stuff and had an idea in my head. 

At first I searched a sketch in the internet and found this one.

I will made a card with the sketch with the heart...

I use a golden tape, pink sequins, whit ribbon and two pink buttons...

How I made the card?

I made in the past the experience, that tape hold not so good,  So I searched the double glue sheet and put it on a white card stock.  I removed the paper from the glue and add the golden tape. After than I die cut the butterflies, with the Lawn Fawn die, called "Layered Butterflies".  I also die cut the body and the background from the butterflies. I colored the background with my Tri Blend from Spectrum Noir and the body with two Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens ( RB2 / MB1). I glue the butterflies together and add with a black fine liner a smile on each. 

At next I made the shaker. I used the Flippin' Awesome Add On and cut out a black wood paper.  I use acetat for the window, than I add foam tape. I use different pink sequins for shaker and close it with a card stock (white).

Now the card. Here I use an A2 (US format) and use a pink pattern paper from my stuff. I add also a black paper strip and use score tape to hold the white ribbon in place. 

I add the shaker element on the card and place the butterflies on this. I decide my to use a sentiment from Lawn Fawn "Butterfly Kisses".

At last I add two flower buttons on the edge on the shaker element and finished the card.

Hope you like it.

Wish you a great day and send butterfly wishes... 

Manatee-rific LF Challenge #70

I love Lawn Fawn and I am so happy, that I have time to made a card to the current challenge theme.

This challenge blog is a wonderful inspiration blog, it is an informative blog, you should visit them. 

There are a lot of colorful ideas. I am overwhelmed. So I thought it will be cool, if I made a card on black cardstock...  Why not an underwater world?

How I made this card?

I stamped the lovely two Manatee on black card stock with Lawn Fawn Pigement Ink Yeti.This is a perfect ink for stamping white. I let it dry and after I used a white pencil and a paper stump to color this image and the background.
I use idea's from Sandy Allnock, where I have visited classes. 

After finish I use my glitter pen to the manatees, light rays and a little bit on the grass (but it is difficult to see on the picture). 

Hope you like the idea on a black card.

Wish you a wonderful day and a great weekend. 

Hugs Ute

Whimsy Stamp New Release Week 2020

Happy New Year, I wish you all a wonderful start, that your dreams come true, that you get a lot of inspirations and time for family/ friends, of course time for crafty things :)

Welcome to RELEASE Week at Whimsy

We have some amazing new stamps, sentiments and papers to share with you I really hope you will stop by and take look at the NEW RELEASES.

Whimsy Shop

For my first card I used the cute Emily Stamp (digital version).







How I made this card?
I print out this image  in a lightly grey on cardstock. Atfer than I colored it with my Polychromos, I add a background. I used Distress Oxide Ink for the clouds.  I cut the image a little bit smaller, because I used a pattern paper from my stuff as card base. Between the image and the base I add a white paper. I glue all together and add it to an A2 (US version) card. At last I searched a sentient from my stuff, which fit perfectly.

Wish you all a great day.

For my other card I used a new image from Sassy Cheryl's images.

How is about a Hug.

How I made this card?

My plan was to made a CAS card.... I print out on a card stock paper, cut this in half and folded it y 5,5 Inch. I colored the images with my Alcoholmarker. As I was finished I thought it looks cool, if I foiled the image from Whimsy. I forgot that I printed the image only with the regular printer. I decided me to use a foil, for heat foil techniques. This was a fail, around the sentiment was foil, but not how planed. So I decided me to cut out the image. Print the card again with my laser , cut and fold the card. I unfold the card to bring the shimmer from the foil and use my laminator.  It works and I distressed the background before I add the little image and finished my card.

I learned to use the regular foil for this technique, the other one didn't work .

Hope you like this inspiration. 

Hugs Ute
