Today i have some news for you...There will be soon a store in the US having Magnolia stamps for sale. I was asked by the owner of the store, if i could show step by step on how a scene card comes together. Of course i agreed, cause that's what i love to do. Plus, what a great way to show off my new Magnolia "Goblin" stamps. Tanja was commenting last week that she really loves the Goblins but she would rather see them in the forrest than, like i did, use her on the double pocket card. So i took her advice and made a scene card with Maertha sitting on a tree stump at night and all her friends come to visit.All wonderful supplies as paper cs and stamps (except the ribbon i used) was generously provided by Magnolia and can be purchased at Magnolia's online store. Some stickles is on the moon and the dragonflies.
Stamps: Magnolia new Goblin 2008 (Maertha, tree stump, mushrooms, snails, moon, dragonflies) the tall tree is from a previous collection
Sentiment: Stampin up Level 1 Hostess benefits, grass by Art Impressions

Some of you have asked me yesterday, why i did not post so much this week and if I am alright. I just wanted to let you know that we are okay now. Thank you for asking :-) We had a tough week with beeing sick. I do not have any family or support here in the US. So if my kids are sick and my husband is out of the country it is though and i do not have a lot of time for crafting. This card took believe it or not more than 2.5 hours to make. :-) am i slow or what??? hehehehe
This is just gorgeous !!!!!!! You can take any stamp and make a scene out of it that is for sure. Beautiful work and coloring my dear.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, so the 2,5 hours were worth it!
ReplyDeleteYour coloring is great again!
That's a honour to be asked for something like that! Congratulations!

Das ist eine unglaublich großartige Karte Claudia. Also die 2,5 Stunden haben sich voll ausgezahlt!! Langsam finde ich sogar gefallen an den Goblins, du machst sie mir noch richtig schmackhaft. Mit deinem Geschick schauen sogar die nobel und niedlich aus :)
ReplyDeleteHerzlichen Glückwunsch auch nochmal zu deiner neuen Aufgabe bei dem US store. Da haben die aber riesen Schwein gehabt, dass sie dich bekommen haben!! :)
Ich bin auch sehr froh, dass es euch wieder etwas besser geht.

Hi Claudia, erst einmal herzlichen Glückwunsch zu diesem tollen Job!!! Und schön zu hören, dass es euch besser geht.
ReplyDeleteJa was soll ich zu dieser Karte noch sagen : ZAUBERHAFT !!! Ganz genau mein Geschmack !!! Da sieht die Kleine doch allerliebst aus, gar nicht so böse. Sie gehört halt in diese "Gegend". Da ich ein Schnecken-Fan bin, finde ich diese super passend dazu.
Deine Arbeit brauche ich ja nicht zu kommentieren - perfekt wie immer.
Ich freue mich schon auf weitere Arbeiten von dir.
This is so fantastic - you make wonderful cards. Love it!

ReplyDeleteClaudia, I have tried to make a "Double Pocket Card" and have posted it in my blog. I'm so sorry that I forgot to ask you first, but I have put a link to you and to the tutorial, so that everyone who visits me, can find the genious behind this way of making a card. I really hope that is okay.
