Warm thoughts.....

Hi there it's Anja again with another card for you today.

 

 

Before you know it's that time again we are going to send christmascards to our loved ones. So better start early creating a stash of cards.
Since there are so many lovely Christmas related stamps I gave it a go.





I started with a topfolded cardbase and cut a panel out of white cardstock.
I stamped a "tree"by using the triangle stamp from the going graphic set.
Stamped the cling stamp with snowflakes at the background and white heat embossed it. Smooched some distress ink to make the stamp more visible.
Stamped the figures and colored them with copics. Cut tthem leavind a little white outline and adhered a twine at the snowman and the sleigh.
Adhered everything to the panel after I created a snowhill by tearing some cardstock.
Stamped the sentiment and rounded the corners.



 






Stamps;

Going Graphic, snowdance miniset and snow flurry, frosty fun kit.




Have a great week;

Hugs Anja

New Challenge for January: [CUTE]

Hello hello :-)

I'm shure, the most of you will sleep the half day.... but somewhen everybody has to get up, and then you will read this:
 
Happy new year to all of you! We hope, you all had a wonderful night with best friends and familys and we wishing you all the best, luck and health for the new year!

So, new year, new challenge ;-)
After all the christimas and wintercards, maybe our new theme will free your mind and inspire you.

And for some inspiration we asked our Challenge-Winner and participants from the last month to make a little card for you.

The first card is from our last-month-winner Kerstin.. she made our litte piggy (Set "Lovely Critters") much more cuter with this little bow. But look at these awesome background with the watercolor-circles... but its colored soft enough, that this sweet piggy keeps beeing the focus on the card.. thank you so much Kerstin

The second card is from Kati, one of the two ladies from the Schnipselallerlei-Blog. She had the over-cute Idea to let the penguins take a bath... isn't that gorgeous? Looks like they have a lot of fun.. hihi.. and did you've seen the shaddows? Wow.. thank you soo much for this card, Kati :-)

And also the lovely Alexandra made one card for our challenge. Such an awesome polar-light-colored background... my heart melts..... or maybe its because of the "warm fuzzies"? ;-)

Thank you girls so much for giving us such beautiful inspirations... :-)

WINNER Challenge December "hello"

Hi everybody,

I'm a little late to announce the winner from our last challenge.. I'm soo so sorry..

So, but to cut a long story short: Our winner is Kerstin.

She used one of our older Stampsets "Perfect Tune" in such a beautiful way.. the coloring is awesome and the background matches perfectly  with the brown radio! Lovely sweet Kerstin, please contact Christine to get your prize :-)

And now its your turn. Our current challenge is already running, and its a very easy one.

 And for some more inspiration I have another guest-designer-card for you.
This one is from Birte. She combines our coffee-stencil with christmas, what is a really nice idea. In my coffeecup would be a very sweet chocolate, and in yours? ;-)

Birte, thank you so much for this lovely card.

And now its up to you. From HERE your can hop directly to our challenge, to link up your projects.
Have fun :-)

NEW CHALLENGE: Christmas/Winter

Hi Everybody...

one month is over, and now we have a new challenge for you. This time - of course - with a seasonal theme:

And for some inspiration we asked our Challenge-Winner from the last month to make a little card for you. And what can I say? We got more than one card, and because they are so very pretty we couldn't decide wich one to show, so we want to show you both.

This is from Kristin (you'll find her on Instagram  @kreativitaetstheorie)The used our last-year-kit-die (get it HERE) and createt this awesome blueish background, and in combination with gold it looks so very noble and classy.

And there is another variation of this Snowflake-Die. Can't say wich card is better! I love booth :-)

And we are not ready yet.  Tatiana wrote "GD" behind her name at the last challenge, so I asked her to make a card for this challenge. And again, I got two cards. Wow!

They are both really pretty...  love all these little details, especially this little tiny heart :-)

Ist'n that background cool? And the colouring of the penguins is so very smooth, really perfect.

Kristin & Tatiana, thank you so so much for giving us these pretty cards. It was such a fun to find these in my mails.

So, and now its your turn, link up all your cards (by following the rules ;-) all through the hole december :-)
