♥ Craftin Desert Divas Creative Designer Challenge - Shake it Up with Shaker Cards: Our Best Ideas for Your Sequin Stash ♥

Hi everybody,

I wish you a happy Thursday and I'm really glad to see you here again on my blog.♥

Today it's time for another 

Craftin Desert Divas Creative Designer Challenge.

For this challenge we have this theme for you:

Shake it Up with Shaker Cards: Our Best ideas for Your Sequin Stash

 I really love to make Shaker Cards or Tags, because it's so funny and really a special design.

For my card today I used a striped Distress background. and the cute Tribal Deer Digital Stamp.

At first I create the Distress background. I glue some thin diagonal Washi Tapes stripes on my card and inked the paper with Distress Oxides in rainbow colors.

After my background is dry I remove the thin Washi Tape and my striped background is ready.Then I use an Embossing Folder from my stash to emboss the background and cut it out with the largest Die from the Fancy Frame Dies. After that I cut out a circle in the middle with one die from the Inside Scalloped Circles. I glue the circle on my white card base. I filled my shaker with some Fall Harvest Sequins. Behind my background I glue a piece of acetate and glue it with some Foam Tape on my card.
My tip is : Before you fill up your shaker element with sequins , use the Powder Tool Applicator. Then you can be sure that no sequins sticks on your acetate.
Now it's time to print and color the Tribal Deer Digital Stamp with my Copics. I cut it out with my scissors and glue it with Tonic Craft Tacky Glue on my card. For the sentiment from the Harvest Wishes Stamp Set I use a banner from the Flag Banner Dies. On the front of my card I glue also some Fall Harvest Sequins to finish my card.
I'll hope you like my new Shaker Card and enjoyed this posting. You'll find many more inspirations on the Craftin Desert Divas Blog and on the Facebook Gallery.
So that's it fro today. Many thanks for stopping by and I'll hope to see you soon here on my blog.♥

♥ Sweet Stampers Challenge - Halbzeitkarte Summer Challenge ♥

Hallo Ihr Lieben,

ich wünsche Euch einen schönen Samstag und freue mich sehr, dass Ihr heute wieder auf meinem Blog vorbei schaut.♥

Heute ist schon wieder Halbzeit auf dem 

Sweet Stampers Challengeblog

 

Ihr habt noch bis zum 08. September 2018 Zeit Eure Sommer/Summer Werke auf unserem Challengeblog zu zeigen. 

Ich habe mich bei meiner Karte für die süßen Ice Cream Treats von Craftin Desert Divas entschieden. Da ich die süßen Einhörner in Regenbogen Farben colorieren wollte, ist die Karte diesmal in einem länglichen Format entstanden. Was mir eigentlich auch ganz gut gefällt, oder was meint Ihr? Macht Ihr immer nur rechteckige oder quadratische Karten?

Coloriert habe ich die süßen Eistüten mit meinen Copics und anschließend mit der Schere ausgeschnippelt.

Für den Hintergrund habe ich das Papier mit dem Sorted Shapes 1 Stencil und Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass eingefärbt und anschließend noch mal leicht über das gesamte Papier gewischt. Die Ränder von dem Hintergrund habe ich mit dem Distress Tool aufgeraut und danach auf ein Stück Neenah Solar White Papier geklebt. Den Rand meiner Grundkarte habe ich ebenfalls mit Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass eingefärbt. Den Text aus dem Sweet Shop Stempel Set habe ich auf ein Banner aus dem Flag Banner Dies Set gestempelt und am oberen Rand aufgeklebt.Als Deko habe ich nur ein paar Lollipop Sequins verwendet.

So Ihr Lieben, nun seid Ihr wieder an der Reihe. zeigt uns bis zum 08.09.18  Eure Werke auf dem Sweet Stampers Challengeblog. Wir freuen uns schon sehr auf Eure Werke.

Nun sage ich Danke für Euren Besuch und wünsche Euch noch einen schönen Tag. Tschüssi bis bald.♥

 

♥ Enjoy every Moment with Tribal Fox and Canoe Scene Digital Stamps for Craftin Desert Divas ♥

Hi everybody,

I wish you a happy Friday and I'm really glad to see you here again on my blog.♥

Today I show you another card with the new Craftin Desert Divas Digital Stamps from the August Release. This Release is really amazing and there are so many different Digis, perfect for cute Scene cards.

For this card I create a little scene with the Outdoor Tribal Digital Stamps and the Tribal Fox Digital Stamp.

I created my scene on my PC. Did you know that you didn't need a special program for this. You can use your Word program for any Digital Stamps. 

I've printed my scene on a piece of Copic paper and color all images with Copic Markers. 

After my coloring is done I cut it out with the largest Die from the Crazy Stitched Frame Dies and glue it with Tonic Craft Tacky Glue on my white card base.Then I cut out two little clouds with the Puffy Cloud Die and use Distress Oxide Salty Ocean for ink the clouds.  I stamp the sentiment from the Sunny Smiles Stamp Set of a banner from the Flag Banner Dies and glue it on my card.

I'll hope you like my little scene card like I do. Many thanks for stopping by and I'll hope to see you soon here on my blog.

♥ Craftin Desert Divas - Designer Challenge Obsessed with Distress Oxides

Hi everybody,

I wish you a happy Thursday and I'm really glad to see you here again on my blog.♥

Today it's time for another

 Craftin Desert Divas Creative Designer Challenge

For this week we have the theme

Obsessed with Distress Oxides: Learn How to Use the Inks Everyone is Using

For my project I wanted to use many Distress Oxides and so I decide to make some Birthday Tags with all new Tribal Animals from the August Release, which you can find here.

I started first with inking some Bristol Smooth Strathmore Paper with different Distress Oxides and let them dry. For my tags I use the Distress Oxides Inks Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint, Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon, Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, Carved Pumpkin and Abandoned Coral.

After the inked paper is dry I use the Sorted Shapes 1 Stencil to create the zigzag line on the background in the same colors. Then I cut out the papers with the Tag It Dies and create the grass border with Distress Oxide Peeled Paint and one Die from the Outdoor Landscape 2 Dies. For more interesting look I also add some water splashes on it and glue it on the tags.

 My Tip: If you create a background with the Distress Oxides let them dry well, before you inked with the same color (Like I do on my tags). Some water splashes make the inked color very attractive and gave them a new look

Now it's time to print the images on some Copic Paper. For coloring the images I use my Copic Markers and cut the images out with my scissors. I glue them with some Foam Tape on my tags. For the sentiments I use the Sweetest Birthday, Simply Said and Timber Stamp Sets. For the final touch I add some Lollipop Sequins, some Pastel Paradise and some Carnie Sequins on the Birthday Tags.

So that's it, I'll hope you enjoyed my posting today. For more inspirations take a look  at the Craftin Deserts Divas Design Blog.

Many thanks for stopping by and I'll hope to see you soon here on my blog.♥

Today I show you a new Birthday card with the cute Craftin Desert Divas Tribal Deer Digital Stamp.

At the beginning I create my background with Distress Oxides Tumbled Glass for the sky and Twisted Citron and Peeled Paint for the grass and let it dry. After that I cut it out with a small Die from the Fancy Frame Dies. Then I cut out another grass border, use again Twisted Citron and Peeled Paint and glue the grass border on my background. For the clouds I use the Puffy Cloud Die and glue it with Foam tape on my background.

After this I cut out a fence from the Outdoor Landscape 2 Dies, use Distress Pumice Stone for inking and glue it on my grass border. Then it's time for printing the Tribal Deer on a piece of Copic Paper, color it with my Copic Markers cut it out with my scissors and glue it with Foam tape on my card.

After that I cut out a piece of Copic Paper with the largest Die from the Fancy Frame Dies and glue it  with Tonic Craft Tacky Glue on my white card base.

On the backside of my inked background I glue some acetate and filled my shaker with some Carnie Sequins. After that I glue the inked panel with some Foam Tape in the front of my card base.

Ausgestanzt habe ich das ganze wieder mit der Fancy Frame Die von Craftin Desert Divas, auf NUVO Glitter Cardstock Opulant Orchid und auf meine graue Kartenbasis geklebt. Der Text ist von Clearly Besotted und die Lollipop Sequins sind von Craftin Desert Divas.

Na da fällt Euch doch bestimmt etwas zu ein, oder? Ihr habt bis zum 08.September Zeit Eure Werke auf dem Challengeblog zu zeigen. Wir sind schon ganz gespannt, was Euch zu dem Thema einfällt.

Ich habe mich bei meiner Karte für eine Unter Wasser Szene mit der süßen Meerjungfrau von Craftin Desert Divas entschieden. Hach dieses Set ist einfach zu süß.♥

Als erstes habe ich den Hintergrund mit den tollen NUVO Shimmer Powders Blue Blitz und Atlantis Burst gestaltet und trocknen lassen. Anschließend habe ich den Hintergrund mit der Fancy Frame Dies von Craftin Desert Divas ausgestanzt und auf meine weiße Karte geklebt. Danach habe ich verschiedene Motive aus den Stempelsets Under the Sea und Mermaid Lagoon mit den ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Markern coloriert, mit der Schere ausgeschnippelt und teilweise mit dem Clear Brush Glitter Marker beglitzert.

Am unteren Teil der Karte habe ich noch eine Stanze aus dem Ocean Border Die Set verwendet, die ich ebenfalls mit den Zig's coloriert habe. Den Text aus dem Mermaid Lagoon Stempel Set habe ich auf ein Banner aus dem Flag Banner Die Set gestempelt.

Außerdem habe ich noch ein paar Clear Drops mit dem NUVO Chrystal Drops Morning Dew aufgetragen.
