Chocolate anyone?

Hello crafty friends, it's Kerstin here!

todays card is something special: I combined standard no-line-coloring with monochome no-line-coloring. 

 

 

 

I had this idea on my mind for quite a few weeks. This santa image is perfect for creating a chocolate santa.

  

 

• stamp your image with a very light color or an no-line-coloring ink
• color the upper half with chocolate like colors
• and the other half with the standard santa colors
• adhere some crinkled tinfoil between both parts to create the impression the chocolate santa is half unpacked

Merry Christmas

Hello crafty friends, it's Kerstin here!

Today I have very special christmas card for you. It's a more elegant one. I hope you like it.

 

 

 

I love to use different techniques. This time I used my quill foil pen for transferring the stamped image.

  

 

• stamp the image on gold foil
• place the foil on your panel and hold it in place with some washitape
• trace the stamped image with the quill foil pen
• remove the foil and heat emboss the sentiment
• ad some splatters onto your panel

Christmas Stress Relieve

Hello crafty friends, it's Kerstin here! Today I have a fun gift tag for you.

I had this idea on my mind for quite a while. As you know things can go crazy around christmas and you might want to cheer someone up. Why not give away some bubble wrap for stress relieve combined with chocolate or a good bottle of wine?

The pocket tag cool cut is perfect for this idea.

• the santa is colored with alcohol markers
• I created a background pattern on the tag using a stencil and distress oxide inks
• and Isprinkled on some white gouache paint too
• last but not least I adhered the label and the santa with foam tape

[VIDEO] Outside-Pop-Up-Card

Hello to all of you,

this is my last video before Christmas, and I'm one week too late, I had soo much christmas-stress... but now its ready and I hope you will like it.

One evening in bed I had the idea of this kind of card... and I forgot it.. hihi.. but lucky me, two days later it came again into my mind and here it is: my outside-pop-up-card :-)

As usual, first some pictures....

I thought, the most of the pop-up-cards had thier action inside. But I wanted to create a card, standing like a card, but having its action in front of all

Here you can watch the video in English
