Bloghop Papierturnier is back: Theme Fall/Autumn / Herbst

Hello and Thank you for stopping by!!!
I´m finally back blogging after the long summer break. How was your summer?
Today I´m taking part again in the Papier Turnier Bloghop which means Paper Tournament :)  Judith from Austria organised this Bloghop that takes place every 2nd Thursday of the month.

 You´re probably arriving from Peggy from Vive La Vigo or maybe you´re starting on my blog. Make sure to visit all of the blogs to get the full inspiration and ideas from all the very creative ladies taking part.

This month´s theme for the bloghop is fall/ autumn. Fall is one of my favorite seasons as it´s the time of pretty colors, hot chocolate and pumpkins....loooooooots of pumpkins and of course pumpkin pie and pumpkin pie spice and .... ok I guess I could go on and on about pumpkins as I´m a huge pumpkin addict fanatic lover.

For this month´s project I choose to make a card using the SU Notecards in whisper white as a base.
I then picked a smaller piece of shimmery white cardstock as I think it´s great for watercoloring. So I wet the cardstock and then smooshed ink in Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie (hahahahaha) , Real red and Tangerine Tango.

Afterwards I stamped some leafes from the new Stampset from the 2017 holiday catalog  called Merry Café. I wanted to have some shine in the background and so I mixed some tombo Multi Mono Liquid Glue with a little bit of water and flicked a few drops of it on the paper. Then once it was on it I sprinkled golden glitter over it and it stuck to the glue drops, which I think looks very pretty.

Next I stamped and diecut a coffee to go cup from the Coffee Café stampset  in Soft Suede and cut it using the coordinating dieset . I love the wooden texture on the cup...and the sentiment , which is from the merry Café set again is so me as I love everything pumpkin pie spice . You should try some in your hot chocolate ...soooo delicious. I stamped the lid and sentiment in Tangerine Tango ink and adhered everything together.

Behind the coffee cup I layered a piece of DSP from the Painted Autumn pack and punched it using the new Everyday Label punch.

To support the earthy fallish feeling I used some burlap ribbon and adhered it under the label and the coffee cup. I have to say I really like this ribbon for fall inspired projects.

To finish off my card I had to have a little more bling ( who doesn´t , right?) I diecut a maple leaf from the Seasonal layers Thinlits set out of golden glimmer paper and adhered it to the top left corner.

Voila!! I think this card has fall written all over it. What do you think?

Now have fun with the Blog Hop and have a look what the other lovely ladies created  :)#

Papierturnier Bloghop Herbst-Winter Katalog /Holiday catalogue

Hello and Thank you for stopping by!!!
Today I´m taking part again in the Papier Turnier Bloghop which means Paper Tournament :)  Judith from Austria organised this Bloghop that takes place every 2nd Thursday of the month.

 You´re probably arriving from Carola or maybe you´re starting on my blog. Make sure to visit all of the blogs to get the full inspiration and ideas from all the very creative ladies taking part.

This month´s theme for the bloghop is the Holiday catalogue AKA der Herbst-/Winter Katalog.

I decided to make  a fall/autumn project as Christmas is still a little while to go.

 As some of you know I´m a kindergarden teacher and this week I talked to my children at work about fall/autumn and what signs show that it´s about to be this nice colorful season. One of the things are the leaves changing colors, so I put this in my project, let´s see if you can spot it ;) I personally love fall/ autumn as it´s one of my avourite season with the not to hot or cold weather, the wonderful colors and of course my favourite vegetables PUMPKIN!!!

I started off with a cardbase in Pumpkin Pie (hehehehehe) and layered a piece in soft suede on top of it.
On top of that came a piece of selfmade DSP using the Vintage Leaves and once again PumpkinPie ink to stamp them randomly onto the paper. I also sponged some more to make it blend with the cardbase.

Next I diecut 2 banners from soft suede and whister white with the banner framelits. I then stamped acorn tops from the Acorny Thank you stamp set  in Pumpkin Pie ink on the whisper white one and layered it on top of the second banner. On top of that came a scallop circle in the new Pumpkin Pie glimmer paper and put a whisper white circle on top of it.
In the new holiday catalog is a cute new set for halloween and fall/autumn that fits a new builder punch. If you know me , you know that i couldn´t resist but buy this punch for a lot of future projects.

The set I´m talking about is the Cookie-Cutter Halloween set (don´t miss the awesome Cookie cutter christmas set bundle either). I stamped the scarecrow on shimmer white cardstock and colored it with different fall-ish stampin up colors. Then I punched it out using the Cookie Cutter Builder punch and adhered it using a couple of dimentionals. Isn´t he just so cute?!

 I then picked a sentiment from the Acorny Thank you set and bent it a little to fit the Thoughtful banners stamp set and the Banner Duo punch to punch it out. The banner was also adhered with dimentionals and my card was good to go.

What do you think?
Last month I did my first comment-giveaway and the winner was my Stampin Up! Sister Eva from Heldenstempel ( Unfortunately she was the only one that commented). Eva loved her prize though :)
I will give the giveaway another try though hoping to see more comments this time. I won´t tell you the crafty prize as it will be a surprise. To win just leave a comment and I will pick a random winner.

So go ahead and please leave a comment  and let me know what you think :)
Now have fun with the Blog Hop and have a look what the other lovely ladies created  :)

Papierturnier Bloghop Beachparty

Hello and Thank you for stopping by!!!
Today I´m taking part again in the Papier Turnier Bloghop which means Paper Tournament :)  Judith from Austria organised this Bloghop that takes place every 2nd Thursday of the month.

 You´re probably arriving from Eva Osterwalder from Heldenstempel or maybe you´re starting on my blog. Make sure to visit all of the blogs to get the full inspiration and ideas from all the very creative ladies taking part.

This month´s theme for the bloghop is Beach-Party.
So we will show you all projects that will bring you in the mood for the beach, sunshine, summer and more :)
I´m presenting you a special shaker card today that I combined with some punchart.

I cut the polaroid from whisper white cardstock using my paper trimmer and matted it on Island Indigo cardstock to be the center point of the card. The background is cut from DSP from the Serene Scenery paper stack from Stampin Up.
The sentiment is from the Sunshine Wishes Die set and I cut it from black cardstock and then covered it with glossy accents and let it dry.  The Hello is from the Sunshine saying stampsets that coordinates with the dies.

I did some punchart with the acorn punch and the festive flower punch  from peekaboo peach and flirty flamingo cards to create the small flip flops. Aren´t they so cute??

The sun was also made with the festive flower punch and I punched a bunch of the smallest petals and adhered them to a 1 3/4 inch circle  also in daffodil delight cardstock and sponged the edges with the same ink. I also punched one pair of petals out of black cardstock and covered it with glossy accents.Then I added a smile using a black and red marker :)

On the inside of the shaker element I put real sand from the beach of the baltic sea, which a child of my group at work brought home for me :) I also added some small sequins in blue and silver to give it a little bit of bling and also added 3 blue sequins to the bottom of the cardbase.

I think this card has summer written all over it and I´m very happy how it turned out. Please leave a comment  and let me know what you think :)

Happy Valentine's day

Hello everyone and thank you for stopping by.  Today I want to reveal what the countdown was for. Last month I finally became an independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and I'm still so excited about it.  I joined my great Demonstrator's Franzi's team and we are going to have our firdt team meeting and event next month.It will be sooooooo much fun.

Okay now to today's project.  The sweet Franzi invited me to her Valentine's workshop and as always I prepared a little hostess gift for her. As it was valentines themed i picked the theme too and do she got this cute
VALENTINE'S MAILBOX

I found the idea and a written tutorial for it on the blog of the awesome Mary Fish.
She used the milkbox die Stampin up had until last june. As I don't have that die I went and looked for a tutorial on how to make the milkbox on my own.
I found a very easy one including a video tutorial (these are the best) from the great Sam Pootles (I know that it's not her real name) and made my milk carton just like shown in her tutorial. 

I added a little bow, that I made with the new Stampin´Up! Bow builder punch from the spring catalog. I used the Stacked with love DesignerseriesPaper and also used the same pattern for the pannels on the front and back of the mailbox. The hearts and the border were punched with the Stampin up heart border punch. 

I just love how this little project turned out and I´m happy that Franzi liked it as well :)

So I used great Stampin´Up resources to make this mailbox for my Upline Demonstrator.  How cool is that, huh?

Let me know what you think of it and please show pictures if you try to make the mailbox yourself. 

Have a wonderful Valentine's weekend and Happy Crafting everyone

Maria :)
