German Christmas 4

Hi Crafty Friends!

Last one of my little batch of German Christmas cards ...

... this time featuring a watercoloured and glittered little robin from the same Charlie Und Paulchen set used in my previous 3 cards. The little variation this time are a couple of green gems which were added to the larger square.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

German Christmas 3

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today's card has a bit more colour and features the deer from the Charlie Und Paulchen die set used in my previous two cards ...

To change thing a bit a few scored lines were added to my base card. Using the same basic layout with little variations is a good way for batch making cards, rather important at Christmas time.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

German Christmas 2

Happy Sunday, Crafty Friends!

It's time for the second make using the same sets as I used for yesterday's card ...

The layout stayed the same with the larger white square being replaced by a glittery green one. Instead of the girl and the sleigh a little house was used to which I added some glitter for a snowy look.

Wishing you all a lovely Sunday!

German Christmas 1

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today I'm sharing the first of four cards made using images from the Geschenkanhangerdeko Weihnachtlich die set by Charlie Und Paulchen.

I went for an elegant white on white look. The Charlie Und Paulchen images were combined with stitched squares from a nesting set from The Works. The little girl and the sleigh with presents are double layered.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

You're So Sweet

Hi Crafty Friends!

The bunny is back ...

... and it's sitting on some lovely pencil coloured sweets from STAMPlorations Sugar Rush set, images still available in digital format. Of course a couple of heart stems had to be added too.

Bunny from Charlie Und Paulchen and Heart Stems from Impression Obsession.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Train Celebrations

Hi Crafty Friends!

Last card for now using the toys, no doubt they'll be popping up again soon. Have a look ...

This time I used the train in combination with the little teddy bear. Again the sentiment was stamped before the embossing.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Hi Crafty Friends!

The little rocking horse was coloured using inks. The sentiment was stamped before embossing the card and a couple of embossed lines finished my card off.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Bunny Hello

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today I got a little bunny card for you, it's slimline ... have a look ...

I used one of my old Sizzix Slide Frames to cluster my focal point around. I then added the little bunny from Charlie Und Paulchen, some hearts from Impression Obsession and a stamped sentiment from Clearly Besotted before finishing off with a few clear gems.

Wishing you all a lovely week!

Bunny Thanks

Hi Crafty Friends!

Had to make another bunny card, I just couldn't help it. 😁 I needed a Thank You card to give to one of our neighbours, here it is ...

I made a super skinny DL card, only 7 cm high, die-cut the large letters and populated them with the bunnies and a couple of hearts.

Bunnies (Freche Hasen) by Charlie und Paulchen, heart stems by Impression Obsession, alphabet dies are unbranded.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Bunny Hugs 3

Hi Crafty Friends!

Let's start the week with some more bunny hugs ...

This time it's back in the frame and combined with some florals.

The rabbits are by Charlie und Paulchen, the florals are by Impression Obsession, the frame and sentiment I'm not sure where they were from.

Wishing you a lovely day!

Yet More Bunnies

Hi Crafty Friends!

As you probably guessed, I'm rather besotted with this cute bunny of late. I can't stop finding things to sit him on. 😂 That little pair of Freche Hasen from Charlie Und Paulchen really got my imagination going.

Have a look at my latest make ...

I've been rooting through my stash and came up with some real oldies, Sizzix Originals Cuts 38-1106 Frame, Slide Mounts & Coin Holder. It's one of the first dies I ever got nearly 20 years ago and to my shame it hasn't seen much use. It was one of those I got because the samples in the shop were rather nice ...

... that's until now, something finally clicked. I used one of the four shapes and added some embossing. The stamp for the background comes from a set called Enchanted Woodland which came with a magazine a few years ago, first use of that one. The little heart stems by Impression Obsession is another die I've had for years, at least 6 or 7, with hardly any use. The only thing in my card that has had more use is the peony set by Uniko which includes my chosen sentiment.

Moral of the story ... I need to make more use of my stash. 😁

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Bunny Hugs 1

Hi Crafty Friends!

The cheeky rabbits are back ...

I combined them with a die-cut frame, some hearts and a small sentiment. Hugs are perfect, we all can do with them even in paper form.

The rabbits (Freche Hasen) are by Charlie und Paulchen; frame sentiment and hearts are dies I've had for a while and can't remember where I got them from.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Bunny Smile

Hi Crafty Friends!

I recently treated myself to a pair of cheeky bunnies dies. They immediately had to be turned into some cute and adorable cards. Here is the first one, using one of the bunnies only.

I added some stamped daffodils as background for a spring feel, just perfect for the sunshine we're having currently here in the UK.

I'm entering my card at:

AAA Cards Game #211 - Anything CAS goes +Spring Animal

Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes With Dies - March Challenge

The Freche Hasen (cheeky bunnies) dies are from 'Charlie und Paulchen', the daffodil stamp and the smile word die are by STAMPlorations.

Wishing you all a sunny day!
