Das doppelte Lottchen {Lottie and Lisa} #175

Hello everyone,

It's been ages once again.

If you ever wondered what I am doing...

Well, first of all Create A Smile really takes up a lot of time. Designing stamps, sending our orders, preparing releases, dicsounts,... 

I still have a "daytime-job" at a youth center. I love my job, but it can be exhausting.

We also moved into my new happy place which I love so much. And Create A Smile has a huge office now - I simply love that!

Anyway.... today Anni and I are finally back with a new Lottie and Lisa - YAY!

For those new on my blog:

Lottie and Lisa means Anni and I usually pick a stamp or stamp set or die that we both have (we nearly have the same taste!) and create a card with this product and another task.

For today I made a wish, and it is:

The Alley Way Stamps - Monster Madness 

&

Enamel stickers.

I made this card AGES ago but Anni and I never found the time to both post - i really hope we can start posting more regularly again, because I miss our challenge a lot!

Here's the card. I used some crackling paste and a stencil for the background and think this bright card is a lot of fun:

Here's a close-up, so you can see the crackling paint a little better:

Now hop over to Anni's blog to find her creation :) She'll knock your socks off ;)

Thanks for viisting!

It's sunday, that means it's Lottie and Lisa time!

That means Anni and I usually pick a stamp or stamp that that we both have (we nearly have the same taste!) and create a card with this set and another task.

Today Anni made a wish, and it is:

The Alley Way Stamps - Monster Mash

&

large letters

I used my SIlhouette and my loved label-paper to create Alphabet stickers, colored them with copics and created a funky background. This idea was "stolen"from a card I saw on Anni's blog ages ago - she used some left-ofter die cut letters, I think.

However, I think this is a fun birthday card and can be used for guys also :)

Thanks for stoppin' by, please check out Anni's blog to see how she was inspired by this challenge :)

Acrylic Block Technique (Distress inks on Acrylic Block and pressing onto paper)

Es ist wieder Lottchenzeit! 

Hier einigen die wunderbare Anni und ich uns üblicherweise auf einen Stempel oder ein Stempelset , dass wir beide besitzen und gestalten (unser Geschmack ist sehr ähnlich!) mit diesem und einer Zusatzaufgabe eine Karte. 

Heute durfte Anni wünschen und heraus kam:

The Alley Way Stamps - Bite Size

und

Acrylblok-Technik (Distress Inks auf Acryl block und auf's Papier abdrücken)

I'm lucky to have Acrylic Blocks from Viva Decor - they have a beautiful shape that I used for my designs. Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold and squeezed lemonade are such a nice combo! The german Sentiments (THAT old? Sigh! Congratulations!) are a sneak peek of a new Create A Smile set soming in February.

Ich habe das große Glück Acrylblöcke von Viva Decor zu haben - die haben eine sehr schöne Form, die ich für diese Technik benutzt habe. Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold sind eine herrliche Kombi! :) Die texte sind eine kleine Vorschau auf ein Create A Smile Set, das bald neu im Shop ist.

Now hop over to see Anni's wonderful creation! Thanks for your visit!

Like many of you I'm totally obsessed with Christmas cards right now. Also am I donating christmas card to the youth center that I work at so we can sell them to have a little more money for new toys, stage properties and art supplies for the kids. I really hope the cards will sell well, so I picked a German sentiment from Create A Smile (it says something like "Help, it's christmas-ing"? LOL). The market will be on Dec 6th, keep your fingers crossed for the youth center!

Wie viele von Euch bin ich gerade total besessen von Weihnachtskarten. Außerdem spende ich dem Jugenzentrum, in dem ich arbeite, Weihnachtskarten. Die können wir verkaufen um neues Geld für Spielzeug, Theater-Requisiten und Kunstbedarf für die Kids zu kaufen. Ich hoffe wirklich, dass sich die Karten gut verkaufen werden, deshalb habe ich auch einen deutschen Text von Create A Smile benutzt. Der Markt wird am 6. Dezember sein - drückt doch mal die Daumen für unser Jugenzentrum!

Let's hop over to Anni now to see what she created. (She never ever makes a card that I don't like!)

Thanks for everything

Hi there,

I have a new card up on the TAWS Blog today using the brand new Tickle Me Happy stamp set. I love the big feathers - they look so beautiful and they're so much fun to color!

Although feathers are soft, but as you can see: you can also make them bold by adding intense colors. This grey looks a little more like teal in real life. (Just a tiny bit).

Belated Tickling Tuesday #31

Hi there,

I've been a bit "our of order" yesterday (maybe a flu?) - so I was not able to upload a video yesterday.
But no worries - here it is: A christmas - shaker card with cookies :)

I used The Alley Way Stamps' "Buggin' Out" stamp set for the jar and the cookies. The papers are from the Digital Paper set "Christmas" by Betsy Rainbow. She has some more gorgeous paper pads!

I love how the frosting turned out - maybe you'd like to give this a try - I think it looks like a really sweet, yummy frosting. Watch the video to see how I did this:

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day! :)

Dino-fun

Hi there!

I'm here with two cards that I shared on the TAWS-Blog today. Have you seen the new release? Those dino-images make me swoooooon - and I love love love coloring them!

Both cards were created with beautiful images from Stomper:

The first card was made with journaling cards and some embellishments to really make this guy stand out. The sentiment is from Livin' Fossils.

For the second card I repeatedly stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the miniset Rock Solid and added the partytime sentiment from Prehistoric. I think this makes a perfect birthday card for a little boy (OR girl!). Cork and wood embellishments go so well with the dino-theme!
