Christmas Card #9 | MFT

Hi everyone! I have always prefered clean and puristic styles, however many people feel uncomfortable with that look so I adapted a lot (my boyfriend wouldn't feel cozy surrounded by white furniture) Nevertheless, I enjoy creating cards which reflect my personality and I think Christmas cards are perfect for white scenes although white on white is a real alrounde ;-)

I diecut a bunch of white birch trees using the MFT dienamcis. I also blended hickory smoke distress ink to make the trees pop against the white background. The leafs are diecut from translucent glitter paper.

Then I stamped the adorable Yeti from 'beast friends' with Memento tuxedo black and colored it in with pale blue and grey. I fuzzycut the image and adhered it with foam dots to my card.

Next I created the sentiment combining two different greetings from the stamp set and used one of the 'lucky envelope' dies from Mama Elephant to diecut it. Again the result was adhered to the scene with foam dots. Last but not least I used a silver cardstock as a cardbase.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Created just for me | MFT

Hey there! I am so in love with Halloween cards - however I don't send them out because it's not a big day here in Austria and many people don't like it. That's why the sentiments of 'frightful friends' from MFT are perfect because they are not so much Halloween related which gives me an excuse to create such cards :)

I started by stamping all the images from the MFT stamp set and also the 'feeling frightful' set from Clearly Besotted. I created masks for each of the images and used the mini stencils set 3 from Tim Holtz for the stone wall. I also blended distress inks for the floor.

Then again I used distress inks in order to watercolor the images. I prepared myself a palett to do so.

Next I diecut the whole piece with the MFT 'essential cover-up horizontal' die and also diecut two white pieces of cardstock with the same die. I glued the two layers of white cardstock frames as well as the diecut scene frame together to create some dimension.

Then I adhered everything to a white cardbase and I also added the awesome sentiment which fits perfectly onto that frame (yep - coincidence)

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Christmas Card #8 | Clearly Besotted and Lawn Fawn

Hello everyone! For the 8th Christmas card I created a shaker using the Lawn Fawn 'ready, set, snow' set combined with the 'on thin ice' stamp set from Clearly Besotted.

First I created the scene for the snow globe using both stamp sets and Copic marker. 

Then I embossed a second piece of white cardstock with the 'mini snowflake' dies from Lawn Fawn. I diecut the snow globe die from the add on set and also stamped the coordinating stamp with grey ink. I put two layers of foam tape on the background scene and added some sequins and silver stars then I adhered the top part together with a piece of acetate on top of it.

I don't like to see the foam layer between the white cardstock pieces so I covered the foam tape with a small silver ribbon.

Last but not least I used another silver ribbon and glued the shaker onto a silver square card base.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!
