I like my cardset part 5

Hello and thank you for stopping by!!! A new day and another card of the cardset I made, that I want to show you. Today´s card is a very simple wedding card. The only technique I used on this card was embossing with my cuttlebug. I used golden vellum paper for the background and embossed it with the textile cuttlebug folder. I diecut out te ornament in the middle and embossed it with one of the wedding mini folders. The last piece is the creme colored stripe I embossed with the with love border folder. I used border line stickers to frame the embossed background.I hope everyone will have a wonderful weekend.

I like my cardset part 3

Hello and thank you for stopping by!!! Today I want to show you another card of the cardset I made. This time it´s an orange get well soon card. I embossed the top and the bottom of the card with my embossing borders from Provocraft with love set. I wanted to keep this card simple and so I just colored the embossed borders with orange ink. The image in the middle is a stamp from the stampin up set Happy Moments that I colored with water based crayons and my water tank pen. to give this card a classic touch I used selfadhesive rhinestones on the flowers on the borders.Then I put the ornament with the stamp on pop dots. As last step I added the "get-well-soon" sentiment on the right and left side.

Hello and thank you for stopping by!!! Today I want to share another baby-card with you that I made for the cardset. I kept it green to have a kind of neutral card that my friend can use for a baby girl or boy. For the background of the card I stamped with my embossing ink pad on the white card and then colored it with pearl-chalk from joycrafts. The border on the right side of the card is made out of light green vellum paper and I heat-embossed the small feet on it with light green ink and clear embossing powder. The image on this card is another 3D layer image with pop dots. I finished the card with a bit of pastel green ribbon and made a not in the middle.

I like it to send birthday cards to my friends :)

Hello and thank you for stopping by!!!!! Today I want to show you birthday cards I made for a few friends all over the globe. I love it to send birthday cards to my international friends..and I´m so excited to receive a few on the upcomming week myself. So here are some of the cards I created.


First one was for the very super talented and famous crafting Lady Kim Burmeister. I used the very cute glitter owls again and really like how the card turned out.

The second card was for an italian friend of mine. I tried t keep it simple but elegant.

The third one was for one of my colleagues in kindergarten. She really liked it and I think it looks very classy and I love the international birthday stamp on it.

The fourth and last card I want to show you today was for the leader Cole of the group Anything Goes on PaperCraftPlanet . She had her 21st Anniversary of her 29th Birthday and loves dogs so there she got some.

Tell me which one is your favorite, please.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend

I love my MOM!!!!

Hello and thank you for stopping by!!!!! Happy Mothersday to all of you that are celebrating the best women we know :) As we also celebrate Mothersday in Germany I want to share the card I made for my mom this year. My mom loves the color green and is a big fan of flowers. I found the tutorial for this flowers on this site of Joanne. She shows there how to make these gorgeous flowers without needing any special tools or punches :) So here is my card!!!:

So what do you think?

and as last thing a poem for all the moms out there:

"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.

...It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.

I hope you like the card and HAPPY CRAFTING!!!
