Halloween

Hello and thank you for vistiting me today. Have you had a chance yet to take a look at the new sketch over on the Friday Sketcher blog designed by Jacquline? Well.. this one.. must say was a tricky one for me but the Design Team came up with many ideas and iam sure you will find some inspiration for your card. I have used the sektch to use up some of my acetate sheets i still had from my Scrapbooking beginnings :-)

Added some Shimmerz paints to the pumpkins in Marigold and Celery to the bag and leaves.

all stamps are available in the Magnoila web store!

Happy Halloween

Hi, here as promised my second card for today. :-) i wanted to make one last Halloween card before it is over :-) Those stamps are so cute - even for next year i thought they will be always fun to use.
The card was made very late last night and for a moment i was thinking to take a picture of the back of the black panel :-) it looks just crazy :-) all the sewing.... was some work but it looks really great in real. Unfortunately the picture does not look so nice :-) cause it was so late

Happy Halloween ya all.. gotta take the kids to a party... :-) Need a card layout where you can show off your cute accessory stamps?? Check out my Dracula card on my second blog today. I made a second card using the sketch for a Magnolia card.

Welcome Trick or Treaters

Here is a fun little projcet i made with the Halloween Magnolia's :-) and a doorhanger i got from Debbies Die Cuts. Those doorhangers are so fun to decorate and i was able to use up a lot of my scrap paper i had left from the cards i have made. I will be making one for Thanksgiving too.
I will be happy to hear that Diana Crick has ordered many of the stamps from this line and will have them soon in her shop.

Trick or Treat

Hi and welcome today for an other Halloween card :-) i told you... lol.. this paper will be used :-) in fact i called the Scrapbook store and have two more sheets on hold of the wonderful green swirl paper. This card really sparkles a lot... It was difficult to get all the shimmer on the picture - maybe you can tell if you click on the card - on the black paper the dots glimmer. I don't know if you had a chance to play for the blog candy i have posted but you will receive a set of those silver embellishments i used on this card with some other stuff of course.

Have you checked my friend Anne's blog yet? She does design for Magnolia as well and has really adorable cards up on her blog, plus she expects any day her new winter Magnolia's. So keep an eye on her blog as well as on mine please :-) We will start making cards as soon we have the new stamps. I expect my new stamps to arrive maybe tomorrow or on Saturday. I can not wait to see them.

recipe for this card: combine some cute stamps (Magnolia "Tilda" Fall 2008 and Edwin's house Valentine 2008) with some glitter paper from K&Company and Making Memories. Embellish with Making Memories and wrap with some of your favorite ribbons.

I would also like to mention that my friends Kelly, Tanja and Gisela awarded me with some wonderful awards. Thank you so much ladies.
Oh.. this card was made for Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog as you can imagine :-) what else on Thursdays, right??? Please go check out the other Designers work. See you tomorrow.
Hugs

Boo! To You!

Hello and happy Tuesday! Today i would like to show you a card i have made using this weeks Ismaki sketch. The dimensions of this card are a bit bigger than the long card i have made a couple of weeks back using the Sarah Kay image because i wanted to create a little szene with the very new Magnolia Halloween stamps. This card fits into the standard SU large envelope.

I totally fell in love with these two Halloween DP papers :-) You are going to see a few projects in the next days this card is part of a "gift set" iam working on.

Stamps: Magnolia Fall 2008 for Tildas and the plant and moon are from the Magnolia Troll collection, Sentiment is computer generated

DP: K&Company and Making Memories

Embellishments: Swirl: Debbies Die Cuts, Stampin up: Hardware, Ribbons: Stampin up, Raspberry Ribbons and Michaels

Hello Pumpkin

Hello and happy Wednesday.. my card for today is also one i will sent to Sweden. I wanted to use on my second Halloween card some other stamps than the fence and the cute pumpkins we DT recieved. So i thought.. hmmm the cat and the haybale would make a nice szene as well! The card was farily fast... since i did not use many layers and had to sew. i just used one sheet of patterend paper so i used some of Debbies Die Cuts fabulous swirls to give the card the needed embellishments and visual interest. It does not show really well but i airbrushed the background with Copics in grey and the edges are airbrushed with Pumpkin yellow. Tildas orange "dress" is the same colors as i used for the pumpkin - i used lots of the colorless blender pen to lift the color out and make it look a little different than the orange used on the pumpkin.

EDIT: I would like to show you a link to a Halloween card i published here in June.. if you are on a stamping budget and can not afford all the new stamps.. take a look at this card: Halloween - you can make stamps work for 2 occasions.

Spooky

Yesterday, i received spoooooky mail :-) These adorable "frightening" creatures and little girls arrived all the way from Sweden to "Trick or Treat" us :-)

The Tilda's are always so cute :-) but take a look a the ghosts aren't they adorable as well? :-) they have a little bow on the head - on one i left it, on the other i cut it off so it is kind of like a boy and a girl ghost. The spiderweb is embossed with black detail embossing powder on the ghosts is some Stickles to make them sparkle.

Gosh, i am so happy that i got this Martha Stewart fence punch.... i was hesitating so long and by the time i had made my mind up - it was sold out everywhere. I really drove a lot and was able to find one for me and one last one for my dear friend Carole.
