    Hello everyone,
    today I made a shaker card for one of my oldest friends. She told me she is expecting a baby and currently is in week 16. I was so happy to hear that, that I just had to make a card for her.
    I used two layers of foam tape to adhere the shaker window made of overhead projector slides into place.

    Hello everyone,
    today I made three cards.

    For the first one I took a piece of cardstock and embossed it with the Darice "Dot" embossing folder. I then stamped my two cupcakes, colored them and adhered them to the embossed background. To add a bit of shimmer to the card I colored the frosting of the cupcake with the Clear Shimmer Brush Pens by Spectrum Noir. To finish off my card I cut a banner from a piece of black cardstock and embossed my sentiment with white embossing powder onto it.

    Hello everyone,
    today I have another handmade card for you. This one I will send to my granny, since I just want to say a little thank you for everything she has done and is still doing for me.

    I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped my image onto it, afterwards I colored it with some Copic Markers. For the sentiment I took a piece of vellum and embossed it with white embossing powder and the Dani Peuss Klartext stamp set "toll". Then I adhered everything on a piece of white craft foam before gluing it onto my card base to give it a bit of dimension.

    Hello everyone,
    it seems another bunch of cards hopped of my craft table today...

    For the first card I just die cut a piece of cardstock with the Lawn Fawn "Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Stackables" and stamped it with the Altenew "Majestic Bloom" Set. For the sentiment I picked two different stamps of the "toll" Klartext stamp set by Dani Peuss. I adhered it onto a piece of Tedi cardstock and glued it onto my card front.

    For the second card I just embossed a piece of shimmer cardstock and die cut a sentiment of another piece of pattern paper with the Rayher "Danke" dies. To make this little banner, I cut out a little piece of black cardstock with my scissors and cut in the smaller side of that piece. I then cut from the corners towards the cut line to get my V-shape.

    Hello everyone,
    today I have a few cards for you. At the moment I am totally into cardmaking and I don't seem to get enough of it.

    For the first card I used some Ranger Distress Ink "Hickory smoke" and the Tim Holtz Stencil "Flourish" to color my background. Afterwards I smushed my Versamark ink pad all over the stencil and embossed it with clear embossing powder.
    For the sentiment I stamped onto a piece of cardstock with Ranger Distress Ink "Peacock feather" and also embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I die cut it and adhered it to the card front.
    To finish off my card I die cut a flower and colored with Peacock feather" and decorated it with Ranger Liquid Pearls.

    Colors:

    Further Materials:

    For the second card I planned a more classy look. The golden glitter cardstock should take the center stage. That's why I just die cut the flower die from plain white cardstock and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I then adhered the golden cardstock between the cardbase and the card front.

    For the third card I played around with the Impression Obsession "Birthday Words" background stamp. To begin with I colored a piece of cardstock with My Favorite Things "Orange Fizz" and then stamped it with My Favorite Things "Lemon Drop". But because these are dye inks, you could not really see the yellow on the orange and in my head I imagined it a bit better looking. Thats why I stamped it again with Versamark, so you can see the text. I did not like the background for a whole card, because there is so much going on and that's why I cut the background in half and then adhered it to my card base. To hide the cutting line I used a self-sticking fabric border to both sides. To finish off my card I die cut the "Happy Birthday" sentiment and adhered it also.
    As a result of cutting the background in half, I got two cards out of it.

    Hello everyone,
    today I have something sewn. A Liv shirt by Pattydoo. I love this sewing pattern, because it is so versatile.
    Pattydoo Shirt "Liv"
    At the "Dawanda Kreativmarkt" in Augsburg I saw the fox fabric and I had to buy it. At home I realized that it was not enough for a whole Liv. Luckily our local fabric store "Restehaus Maier" had a matching, gray Jersey.
    Addinionally I made a FBA for the shirt. I am especially happy with how good the sewing of the elastic ribbons on the shirt worked. That was not easy with two cats which absolutely have to play have to play with them. 😂

    Although it fits really will, this is more of a stay at home shirt 😉
