Modern Thank you Cards | My favorite things

Hi everyone! I am on the Stempelwunderwelt-Blog again, sharing two modern, elegant thank you cards with the Nuvo expanding mousse from Tonic Studios. For me the style is out of my comfort zone but nevertheless, I hope you like the designs.

You can find an English Version at the end of the German blog post (just scroll down) here.

Here is a short photo story showing the cards:

Christmas Card #18 | Mama Elephant

Hello there! I think ages are gone since I made the last card with chibitronics but for this card design I couldn't resist :)

I started with preparing all the pieces I would need for the card. The images from 'Santa's sleigh' were stamped with Memento tuxedo black ink, colored with Copics and diecut. I added also some details with a white gel pen and Nuvo glitter accents in fresh snowfall.

For the background I chose a watercolor background. I used the mijello mission gold watercolor set and mixed different purples and blues. The background was diecut with the largest of the 'basic rectangles'.

I also diecut a white piece of cardstock with the same die and one of the 'landscape trio' dies to create a snow hill. I also diecut the round ornament from 'joy ornaments' from the upper left part of the background. The outline of the ornament and also the inside decoration was stamped with Versamark ink on vellum and heat embossed with golden glitter embossing powder. I adhered the vellum behind the background and created the light-Effect on a separate piece of cardstock.

Then I added lots of foam so that the light isn't constantly on but only if you press the sign. I adhered all the images to the background and chose a white metallic cardbase. Last but not least I added some "snow" with white nuvo drops.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have an awesome Halloween!!!

Christmas Card #16 | Lawn Fawn

Hi everyone! I love the new topic of the latest Lawnfawnatics challenge 'bling it out'. Since I love making everything sparkly and shimmery lately I wanted to participate again.

I am outside from my comfort zone with this card because I made so many scene cards in the last week. I wanted to try something new. So this card is all about the different layers - with each leayer more interest is added. I could have done even more but didn't want to make it too busy.

First I stamped the images from 'thanks a latte' and 'here we go a-waddling' with Archival jet black ink and colored them in with Mijello mission gold watercolors. I also added some shine with the Gansai Tambi starry colors. After letting the images dry I diecut them and went on with the background. With the 'mini snowflakes' dies I diecut three snowflakes - two from watercolored cardstock and one from a glitter cardstock. 

I chose a blue cardbase for my card and added the beautiful 'quilted backdrop' on top of it. Then I diecut a piece of golden sparkle cardstock and also from Lawn Fawn woodgrain cardstock in craft with two of the 'stitched rectangle large' dies. I used the second largest die from 'fancy scalloped circle stackables' to create two of these round accents. I added a sentiment from the 'reveal wheel holiday sentiments' with doe Lawn Fawn dye ink on one of the half circles.

Then I added all the sweet images. Before that I put even more sparkle onto the images. I used Nuvo glitter accents in gold and also the chunky glitter from Lawn Fawn.

Last but not least I added some Nuvo drops, rhinestones and enamel dots to finish up the card.

The short photostory shows the individual steps to achieve this result.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have an awesome weekend!!!

Christmas Card #13 | Mama Elephant

Hello everyone! After all the scene building cards I wanted to create something more focused on the coloring part. So I created this Christmas card with the beautiful ornament from 'twinkle towns'.

For the background I used orange colors from the Mijello Misson Gold watercolor palette. After some layers I also added one layer with the yellow gold from Gansai Tambi to get an extra shimmer.

Then I stamped the nice ornament with Archival jet black ink and used some red Mijello Mission Gold colors. After letting everything dry I diecut the background piece with 'sew fancy' so that it has the right size. I added the beautiful fir branch to the background and colored it in very softly with prismacolor pencils.

After that I layered the frame from 'framed tags park avenue' with foam tape on top of it. Also the ornament is adhered with foam tape but before that I had added some additional sparkle with Nuvo glitter accents.  

I diecut the included sentiment from gold glitter cardstock and adhered it with foam tape as well.

Last but not least I added some rhinestones and the card was all finished!

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