    Handmade with Two Sleeping Cats

    Hello everyone,
    this is my last card before I will go to the hospital tomorrow. Since I needed some time to prepare myself for the hospital, it is a really simple card.

    For the background I colored a piece of Bristol Cardstock with my Distress Inks. In the lower part, I made some clouds with the "Mini Cloud Edges Stencil" by My Favorite Things and blended them together with my sky, where I used "Broken China", "Mermaid Lagoon" and "Seedless Preserves". For my stars, I splattered a bit of Copic Opaque White onto my background.
    Then I stamped my images onto a piece of Neenah Cardstock and colored them with my Copics. Afterwards I decorated them with a bit of Glossy Accents and adhered them onto my card with some foam tape. To finish off my card, I stamped my sentiment and traced it with a black Glaze Pen.
    Aren't the hot air balloons gorgeous?

    Hello everyone,
    today I made another card, that I like to give away.
    For my background I stamped my images from the Altenew "Persian Motifs" set with some Versamark ink onto a piece of watercolor paper and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I colored the images with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens.
    To finish off my card I die cut my sentiment with the "Stay Positive" dies from a piece of foiled toner sheet and adhered it on my background.
    At last I glued everything together with a piece of blue cardstock onto my cardbase.

    Hello everyone,
    these cards are very near and dear to me. Since I was diagnosed with cancer, I read a lot in Facebook groups where other patients or their relatives share their experiences. Often there are people who have to suffer a setback. That's why I thought that maybe some would need something to bring a smile to them and so I want to give them away.

    For my first card I covered a piece of cardstock with the Nuvo Embellishment Mousse in "Pure Platinum". Then I stamped the flowers from the WPlus9 "Modern Peonies" set with Versamark ink onto a piece of watercolor paper, heat embossed it with white embossing powder and colored them with my Schmincke watercolors.
    From a foiled toner sheet I die cut a border with the Hero Arts Infinity Dies and also die cut my sentiment with the "Stay Positive" dies by Alexandra Renke. To finish off my card I adhered everything together onto my background.

    Hello everyone,
    today I made a wedding card. After a long time my order from WPlus9 with the "Kind Soul" set finally arrived and I had to test it.
    For the background I covered two pieces of cardstock with the Nuvo Embellishment Mousse in "Pure Platinum". From one of those pieces I die cut a heart with the Memory Box "Fragile Heart" dies and glued it onto a piece of vellum. Then I adhered it to the other piece of cardstock and then put it onto a piece of pink cardstock.
    With the Sunny Studio "Stitched Hearts" dies I die cut a few hearts from a piece of foiled toner sheet and from the same sheet I die cut my sentiment with the "Alles Liebe" dies by Charlie und Paulchen. Afterwards I adhered everything onto my background.
    I stamped the flower image from the "Kind Soul" set by WPlus9 onto another piece of cardstock and colored it with my Copics and fuzzy cut it with my scissors.
    At last I glued it onto my background.

    Hello everyone,
    today I made a birthday card for you. For a long time I have been waiting for the right project to use the beautiful "Magnolias for Her" stamp set by Altenew. Now here it is.
    From a previous card I had a piece of cardstock lying around, which I had die cut with the Hero Arts "Reef Border and Frame Fancy Dies". I colored it with the Nuvo Embellishment Mousse in Mother of Pearl and stamped my sentiment with some Versafine ink onto it and heat embossed it with some clear embossing powder. Afterwards I glued it onto a piece of magenta colored cardstock.
    With Versamark ink I stamped my magnolia images onto a piece of watercolor paper and heat emboessed it with white embossing powder. To color them I used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. After everything dried I fuzzy cut my flowers with my scissors. 
    To finish off my card I colored the magenta cardstock with my glitter pen.

    Hello everyone,
    today I have another foiled card for you.
    For the background I colored a piece of cardstock with the Nuvo Embellishment Mousse and glued it onto my cardbase. Then I cut two small strips of my foiled toner sheet and adhered them at the bottom and at the top of my blue cardstock onto my card.
    I stamped my images from the Altenew "Lotus" set with Versamark ink on a piece of Canson XL watercolor paper and heat embossed it with some white embossing powder. Afterwards I colored everything with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens coloriert and adhered it with different layers onto my background.
    To finish off my card I die cut the sentiment from my foiled toner sheet with the "Zum Geburtstag" dies by Charlie und Paulchen and also glued it onto my card. At last I spread some drops if my Nuvo Crystal Drops in Mountain Dew onto the card.

    Hello everyone,
    today I had enough time for my first try with Deco Foil. Since I have no Minc Machine or Lamonator and I didn't want to buy one, I wanted to try if foiling would work with my transfer press, the HappyPress 3. After all the transfer press works with heat and pressure and that is exactly what is needed to apply foil, so I thought chances are high that it will work fine. I adjusted my transfer press to a temperature of 120°C and pressed the foil for 10 seconds onto my toner sheets and it worked as a charm. In a lot of videos I saw it looked like when using a Minc Machine or a Laminator the foil sometimes would warp, with the transfer press that was not the case. And because it worked so nicely I will definitely do this again.
