Na?!  Genießt ihr den Sommer? Ich schon, gerade letzte Woche habe ich mal mehr private Dinge erledigt als gestempelt. Muss auch mal sein, aber jetzt geht es wieder los. Meine Omi fragte mich, ob ich ihr eine Karte zu einem 35-jährigen Jubiläum machen könnte. Puh! Ich habe einige Tage überlegt und siehe da, ich hatte dann doch den passenden Stempel in meiner Sammlung!

So do you enjoy summer? I do, I took off from stamping last week and did some private things. It was nice but now I’m starting with DT work again. My grandmother asked me to make a card for a 35 year jubilee. Phew! I thought about a matching image for days but then I found the matching stamp in my collection!

Die Bubbly Bears von Penny Johnson sind jawohl perfekt für solche Anlässe, was meint ihr? Ich habe Cardstock von Bazzill, Aquarellpapier als Mattung und das wunderschöne Designpapier von Marianne D. für die Karte genommen. Die Bären sind mit Spellbinders Labels 2 ausgestanzt, die Bordüren mit dem Fiskars Apron Stanzer gemacht. Schöne Kirschblüten, Organzaband und EK Success Blätter habe ich noch als Deko aufgesetzt.

The cute Bubbly Bears by Penny Johnson are the perfect image, aren’t they? I used Bazzill cardstock, watercolor paper for the mat and the wonderful Marianne D. pattern paper for my card. The bears are cut with Spellbinders Labels 2 and the borders are made with Fiskar’s apron border punch. In the end I added some beautiful cherry blossoms, sheer ribbon and EK Success leaves as decoration.

Coloriert habe ich mit Albrecht Dürer Aquarellstiften. Die Wangen haben ich mit rosa Kreide und weißem Gelstift gemacht. Die Blubberblasen sind mit Glitterpen ausgemalt, damit sie sich vom Motiv abheben. Nun hoffe ich, dass meiner Oma die Karte auch gefallen wird.

I colored the image with my Albrecht Duerer watercolor pencils and made the cheeks with pink chalk and a white gel pen. The bubbles are colored with a glitter pen so that you can see them in front of the bears. Now I really hope that my grandmother will like this card.

Hello friends! Thanks for stopping by!

Once again, I was in need of several thank you cards.  But with the busy week I’ve had, it was a must to keep them simple!  So this was a great opportunity to try the “tone on tone” technique to make a few CAS (clean and simple) cards. 

I punched a kraft border to layer onto the kraft card base and the image was stamped with Baja ink onto Baja paper.  Even the flower is sorta tone on tone since I layered one white flower on top of another.  Besides using kraft paper, I felt that this technique was giving my cards a more elegant feel so I opted for a very scripty sentiment.

I had in my mind before I started that I wanted to use this image of the girl with flowers.  Isn’t she lovely?  It is an image by Penny Johnson called Penelope.

Here’s a close-up view so you can see the beautiful detail of this stamp.

Can you believe I used NO patterned papers, NO white cardstock, and NO black ink?  LOL.

Even though this card is very simple, I loved how it turned out.  I hope it shows how beautifully the Stampavie images can be used even when you choose not to color them.

I hope you have a nice, relaxing day!

Hello everyone. This time I made a card from the Penny Johnson collection Football Bear. Again a great image for our boy’s. Because my boy dont wont flowers on his card I made it simpel.

The paper I used is from Kaisercraft Le Chateau Collection. I used the nestabilitie square and I added some buttons on the card. I coloured the image with the Distress ink, Tea dye,Tumbled glass, Black soot, Tattered rose, Peeled paint and the edges of the paper I have don with the Distress ink Vintage photo

I’ve  made a start on my Christmas cards lol – here’s my first.  I don’t know if this sweet image by Penny Johnson (aptly called Sweet Dreams) was intended as a Christmas image but it works for me.  I have not even used Christmas papers but I think it still works as a Christmas card.

I have used Basic Grey Capella papers, and have coloured the image with distress inks.  The punched border was done by using just the corner punch off a Martha Stweart ATP set.  Love the effect.  I have stitched around the papers after distressing then applied Stickles.

Thanks so much for stopping by today,

Hello everyone,

Today I am going to show you a card which I have made with a sweet stamp from Penny Johnson. This sweet little girl is one of my favourites!

This time I have used pink Cardstock. The papers are from Magnolia, they are called Strawberry Line, Lace and a piece of Something Old. On that piece I have stamped with a stamp from Tim Holtz and I have used the colour Frayed Burlap.

I always colour my stamps with Distress Ink, this time I have used Victorian Velvet, Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, Pumice Stone, Walnut Stain, Brushed Corduroy, Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo, Frayed Burlap and Fired Brick.

The Doily Hart is from a Webshop called Harlekono. The lace comes from the Webshop Scrapbookdepot. The sweet little roses are from Prima Marketing. To finish my card I have used some pearls from Making Memories.

Around the little girl I have used a stamp from Magnolia to decorate the borders.

I sure hope you liked watching this card.

Hugs,

Monique.

It has been pretty warm and humid here lately so I thought I’d make a card with an image for lower temperatures in hopes that it would cool off a bit.  Did it work?  Not really…LOL. 

This Stampavie image is by Penny Johnson and it’s called Looking Chic.  Love it!  I knew I wanted to paper piece her coat, so I pulled out my Cosmo Cricket Material Girl papers and found this cute green gingham pattern.  I think she lives up to the image’s name now, don’t you? 

Does this card look a bit familiar?  I used the image here to make the announcement for the Stampavie DT Call.  If you love the Stampavie products, then you can find out how to apply by scrolling up to the sticky or clicking here!

I hope you enjoyed the Father’s Day weekend!  I had a nice, quiet one.  DH went on a fishing trip so I got a bit of stamping done and helped a friend with a wedding project. 

Have a great week!

Hello everyone. This time I made a card from the Penny Johnson collection Cuddles. This is a great image. I made this card for someone who needs a  cuddle.

This card is made with the paper from Cosmo Cricket Everafter. I sticht it with hand and I coloured it with the Distress ink, Barn door, Rusty hinge, Pumice stone, Stormy sky and Tattered rose.

Hugs

Today it’s my turn to share a card.  I made this card a while ago and clean forgot to post it so better late than never lol

I based this card on one I did last year, the layout and hearts just seemed to work with the sweet Penny Johnson Image.  The image was coloured with distress inks and twinkling h2O’s but it was so long ago I can’t remember the colours I used.

Thanks for stopping by,

Ich habe die Shadow Box Karte noch etwas abgewandelt. Eigentlich wollte ich eine typische Szene in den Hintergrund stempeln, aber wie so oft ist mir dann die Zeit weggerannt und ich habe beschlossen mal etwas Neues zu probieren. Mir gefällt’s auch so! Ist er nicht süß der Rosie Rabbit von Penny Johnson? Den wollte ich schon soo lange colorieren, am Samstag während des Stempelmäuse-Treffens, hatte ich endlich die Zeit dazu. Der Cardstock ist von Prism und das Designpapier von DCWV.

I made my shadow box card a bit different. Normally I wanted to make the typically one with a scene in the background but then time was running like so often. That’s why I decided to test something new. And I like it! Isn’t Rosie Rabbit from Penny Johnson the cutest? I wanted to color this image for soo long now and I finally found the time on Saturday during our stamping group meeting. The cardstock is Prism and the patterned paper DCWV.

Und mein geliebtes QuicKutz Gras verziert die Unterseite der Shadow Box Karte. Ich habe es aus grünem SU Cardstock und dem DCWV Designpapier ausgestanzt. Die Ameisen und Blumen habe ich dann noch dazu geklebt.

I also love my QuicKutz grass shape and cut green SU cardstock and a scrap of the same DCWV paper I used for my card with it. In the end I also added some ants and flowers.

Today I would like to share a card I made a few weeks back as part of a set of samples for some craft shows.  The stamp is called Bobby and Me by Penny Johnson for Stampavie.  I just love his shaggy dog lol.

The papers are My Minds Eye, the sentiment is Stampin Up and the star was made by punching out the waste off the pack of a paper pad, then painted with Ranger Picket Fence crackle paint then I wrapped some fine cord around it.

Thanks for stopping by,
