Once upon a time | Mama Elephant

Hello everyone! Today I share a card inspiration ft. the cute characters from Winnie The Pooh on the Stempelwunderwelt Blog. You can see the blog post here.


 I love being fascinated by a good story/book and this was the idea for today’s card. Sweet characters from „Winnie Pooh“ come to live (well, at least in thoughts). The little bookworm dog has already found a thrilled listener 🙂



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

Welcome Baby | Lawn Fawn

Hello everyone! We enjoy a beautiful spring-like weather this weekend in Austria. It really brightens up the mood and I love being outside or preparing the balcony. However, since working days are always busy I tried to get this blog post done today :)


I am sharing a baby card (you can never have to much on stash of those) using Lawn Fawn stamps and dies. The 'magic picture changer' die is so much fun and really addictive. So I used it again on this project. I love when the interactive part is integrated in the scene - a bit more effort but I think it's totally worth!


I started with stamping all the images I would need with Versafine onyx black ink and colored them in with Zig clean color real brush markers. For the scene in the magic picture changer I sketched the frame and put in the images on the exact same place - so that everything will fit together.


Then I prepared the background pieces with the 'simple stitched hillside borders' and distress inks. I chose tea dye for the ground, scattered straw for the sky and peeled paint for the little grassy hill. I also used the die to create a mask so that the scenes in the magic picture changer continue.


The main images are from the new stamp set 'Rawrsome' but I also used the older 'critters down under', 'critters in the jungle' and 'ahoy, matey' for additional details.


For the slider piece I used the same distress inks and after I had assembled the magic picture changer I added the frame from the 'magic picture changer add-on' and again continued the scene on this piece too.


The sentiment I used is from the critters down under set. I used foam tape to adhere the magic picutre changer to the background so that the movement is much easier. Last but not least I adhered all the other sweet images and the card was all done :)

Lawnfawnatics Challenge No. 48 | Movie inspiration

Hello everyone! After preparing and having 2 workshops I was back at my crafting table. I am so in love with the current Lawnfawnatics Challenge "inspired by a book, movie or song" - it could be the whole year 'round :)


 I have wanted to create a card with characters from "The Princess and the Frog" for a while now and this was the perfect opportunity.




It was clear to me that I wanted to use the 'magic picture changer' die set on this card and so I prepared two little scenes for the "change" effect. The first one shows Tiana and Naveen as frogs and if you pull the tab the magic happens and Tiana and Naveen are humans again. I used many different stamp sets for this card: 'toadally awesome', 'bicycle built for you' and 'mermaid for you' (for the crown) were used for the two little changing scenes. I did some masking and ink blending with distress oxide inks and colored the images with Copic markers. For the pond I created a DIY mask with the 'bayou backrdop' dies. 



I used the same oxide colors on the frame from the 'magic picture changer add-on' set and also on the background. I blended some green distress oxide too to receive a green bayou frame. 


After that I stamped and colored a bunch of other images from 'little fireflies', 'hats off to you', 'critters down under', 'critters in the jungle' and 'screen time'. 


Then I assembled the magic picture changer and adhered it with foam tape onto my background. I added some of the images directly on the picture change and some of them directly on the background to create more dimension.

Last but not least I added some stars with a white gel pen. I really love how the card turned out but it also took me a while that the frame, background and picture changer scenes all fit together nicely.  However, I had a lot fun and enjoyed the process - the possibilties are just endless :)


Here is also a short photostory, showing the main steps:
