Clear Stamp Storage System

Make it crafty asked on Facebook how we store our stamps, so I uploaded a picture there of my storage. I haven't thought that no one yet had the idea to do it, because it is sooo simple! As many people like this idea of storing the stamps, I want to share it with you too. You need a solid folder, some protection sheets and your acrylic stamps. Furthermore a scissor and scotch. Simple huh?

Start with cutting the protection sheets on the right side. Not the bottom, just the right side. Now take your acryl stamp previev and fix it with scotch inside of the protection sheet. (I placed the preview sheet on the upper part of the sheet). And now- Place your acrylic stamps inside too! Easy! Just need to put it in your folder now!

To have a better view I put a blanco white sheet between each stampsheet. All I can say is taht this system works perfectly for me. I came up with this idea when I saw a video about Tim Holtz storage folders, I was like: I can do this without spending money! :D So yepp, hope you like it, cause its easy it doesn't take away that much place.

Well then, happy crafting, and don't forget to check if you won the candy!

A la card monkey card

Before I post my candy winner, here my entry for the A la Card Monkey Challenge. I thought a little about my mom when I made it, (cause I used the Wish you were here stamp) she died nearly two years ago. She's always in my heart. I love ya Mummy :) The theme A la card monkey had is Salt N Pepper and there was a sketch to follow, so here we go:

Hope you like it, happy crafting everyone!

Vintage, Baby!

I always wanted to do a card with gears, so here we go:

I hot embossed the gears and took distress ink to gave them a vintage look. The stamps are colored with copics and the tags are from Graphic 45's Transatlantique and Steampunk Debutante. Hope you like it! 

Happy crafting!

Challenges:

The crafty Pad- Embossing

Tea Party!!!

Since I fell in love with the Halloween in Wonderland Paper, I really like to work with vintage designs and decides to make an unusual card.

I really love to drink tea, mostly all the types of fruit tea! If I need to count I would say that I have about 25 different types of tea at home. Warm, cold, doesn't matter. :D
These days I'm doing a lot of crafting and actually I think about to sell some of my work. I made my first digital stamp too and will post it soon, I hope you will like it! :)

Spend the night...

...making this little and cute box. Folded with Origami, even the divider inside :) Made from thicker paper, you really should try it, take a look at this page: http://www.origami-instructions.com/origami-box.html Unbelievable how solid the box is when you take a thicker paper! Doesn't it look nice? I used Vintage scrapbooking paper and Graphic 45 paper "steampunk debutante".

 Have I told that I ordered Graphic 45 paper pads? Halloween in Wonderland, Steampunk Debutante and Transatlantique. They are simply amazing! (Even if I discovered that they use pictures and graphics from the internet, I thought they drew this by their own  :(  ) It was qiete expensive for just 3 paper pads. :(

Now take a look at my cute box :) I used stickers, Borders, pearls... and if you take a look at the inside, there is a small hidden pocket where I placed 2 tags. Surprise surprise!

Isn't it cute? And for an origami folding it looks really proffessional! I think about to sell it... :D  Well, enough for now, happy crafting, and join my candy!

Monochrom fun

Hey there! Did some cards in the past few days, these are two of them. I used a Tilda stamp to create this monochrome card, my first black and white card! Quiete a good one,no? Unfortunately you dont see the structure of the card and the lace that I used in the background. And the card itself is shimmering like 1000 diamonds. Sooooo good when you see it live! Hope you like it!

The second card here I made with a 3D image of Paris. A little image to make Greg feel home :) Basically it has 4 layers and it was the first time that I used 3D glue. Its quiete easy to work with! Take a look at the embelishement, it was a scarf pin before :D

Happy crafting everyone!

Just a short note...

This week I haven't done so much related to crafting. I really needed to sort everything that we don't need anymore out of the cupboards, drawers... Holy we threw so many stuff away!

And I really wonder where the summer is. It's so cold that I start to get really cold in the night. I have the feeling that it's getting winter time already. 10 and 15 degrees in the daytime. Thats so cold for summer. They say it's the coldest summer ever. I really hope we will have some warm days soon. I want my sun back!

Snapshot during vacation

Happy crafting everyone, I will be back with new stuff in a few days! <3

For my Brothers Birthday...

...and I really hope that he doesn't read this :D I made a Birthday Tag for him using the alcohol inc technics by Tim Holtz. A Little bit distress ink and stamps. Et voila- here we go! My brother is getting 22 years old, holy where the time goes? What about the small little kiddo with the blond hair that always made my life harder as a little bro? :D I know that he will like his card :) Happy Birthday on the 9th July bro, You're one of the most important people in my life! I love you! <3

Besides I figured out some facts about my actual card making. For every card that I do right now I spend between four and eight hours. In the last month we paid fricking many Euros for the cuttlebug, dies, embossing sheets, cards, Stickers...  Every card is made with embellishements that are not bought in a craftshop, because they are special items my gran and me collect through the years. This for example were Earrings, Pieces of bracelets and Chains or Buttons. So if you are in the lucky position to receive one of my cards, you can be sure to have at least one really old or really unique embellishement on your card. Cardmaking for me is pure feeling. If a card is fast done it's ok, but I want to take my time, I take a look through all my crafting stuff, match the papers, colors, etc. And I really wish that more people appreciate handmade stuff that comes from the heart. You can't buy the feeling that it needs to make a personal card!

Happy crafting!
