Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes

Hello to you! Unfortunately, it is my last week guesting on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog. It's been wonderful, thank you again for this opportunity! So let's get to my last challenge.

This week's challenge is

ANYTHING GOES

The wonderful Design Team is featuring Impression Obsession this time, but I didn't have any products from them and you don't have to use them to join.

I chose to create a happy, cute spring scene:

I first covered the front of my card with pink checked patterned paper. Now I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than my card base, inked it with blue ink and adhered it to the card. I stamped the images onto white cardstock, colored them with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered everything to the card. Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it, adding the small butterfly to the edge.

Yes, I could take some squishy hugs! How about you?

 Now I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge for your chance to win this:

Thank you very much for visiting today, have a wonderful day!

Fall Shadowbox Card

Hello! After all the christmas cards I created lately, I was in the mood for a fall project, so I made a fun shadowbox card using adorable Hello Bluebird stamps and dies.

Love the colors of fall! I'll enter this to the current SSS Wednesday Challenge and the Hello Bluebird IG Challenge:

This gang is adorable, don't you agree? I colored the images with Copic markers, the background is inked with Distress Oxide inks.

Here you can see how the card fits an envelope:

We've been enjoying warm, sunny weather here with about 20°C - but next week the temperatures will drop and it might start snowing, so back to wintry projects then :)

Have a sunny day and thanks for visiting!

Simon Says: Happy Birthday!

Hi there! Long time no see! First, we had a heat-wave in April and enjoyed every day outside with the family. Now it's been cold for days and some of my plants have died due to earth frost :(
But today I enjoyed time at the desk, creating a birthday card for the SSS Wednesday Challenge: Happy Birthday. I just couldn't resist these adorable Hello Bluebird stamps:

The background is ink-blended using various Distress Oxide Inks, the images are colored with Copics.


This slim-line card fits our German envelopes DIN Lang. So no problems sending it!

Thank you for stopping by :)

Party Parade

Moose and Friends

Birthday Party Pop-Up Box

Hello! I've had many more colored stamp images from the Hello Bluebird set Moose and Friends lying around, and today I got the chance to put them onto a card. I chose to make a cute pop-up box card with them:

All images were colored with Copics. The background and the green parts were inked with Distress Oxides and an ink blending tool

I'll enter this to the current Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes. You'll find a video of the box on my instagram account!

Have a wonderful day!

Winter Bunny

Happy Friyay! It's still going well with coloring a little something for the Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge almost every day. Here comes another cute Hello Bluebird card I made:

The adorable bunny from the Fall Friends set is working well for Christmas, don't you agree? I colored the images with colored pencils, the background is inked with Distress Oxides. I added the snow with a white gel pen.

Thank you for visiting today! Have a good start into your weekend!

Z-Fold Wintercard

Hey there! I've been enjoying coloring more cute images from Hello Bluebird for the Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge and am trying to put them onto cards. Here comes one of them, another interactive z-fold card.

The adorable images are from the Christmas is Coming set and are colored with Copics.

The background is inked with Distress Oxides and an ink blending tool.

Here are more images of the card:

Can you imagine what a fun Christmas party this adorable crew will throw? You can find a video of the card in action on my instagram account!

I am off to color some more. Thanks for stopping by!

Polar Light Background

Happy Sunday everyone! I fell in love with the cute Hello Bluebird stamps and allowed myself to buy some of the sets. Here comes a first card I made using them just for fun:

I created the polar light background with Distress Inks and an Ink Blending tool. The adorable yeti from Yeti or Not is colored with Copics. The sentiment from Christmas is Coming is heat-embossed.

I love stamps that make me smile when playing with them and all of these Hello Bluebird stamps definitely do this :)

Hoping your day is wonderful! Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate it!
