It´s high time

Yes, it´s high time to participate in 2 fun challenges, which both end April 25th!

 ----- Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge ---- and ---- Sparkle and Shine Challenge FOUR ----

For these 2 challenges I combined products from Penny Black (die set "hooray"), Altenew (stamp set "Vintage Roses") and Memory box (die set "Resting Birds"). I´m soooo sorry, that I don´t have anything from Winnie&Walter by now... :-(

I´m totally in love with glitter paper and die cuts and vellum at the moment - want to use these components all the time!

In addition I gave the birds some dimension with Glossy Accents:

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Leafy Minicards

Hi all!

How are you? It´s bitterly cold here in Austria and I´m frreeeezzzing!!! So, I´m longing for spring!

According to my longing I´d like to share 2 vernal mini cards today:

Ok, I know, these were only a matter of minutes and they are no spectacular piece of arts ... but ... let me tell you the story behind : I bought a perfume with a really nice fragrance in Italy last year ... so far, so good... but .... let me show you the packaging:

It was so pretty on both sides, that I knew for sure that I would make something with it from the moment I bought it :-) And - as always - I couldn´t resist to use some glitter to sparkle it up :-)

I´d like to participate in the Crafty Cardmakers´Challenge  with these.

Thanks for looking!

Snowman-Mini-Card

Today´s mini card was inspired by a very pretty (quite CAS) card of Kristina Werner - you can check it out HERE.

Here´s my take on Kristina´s idea:

I used the Mini Envelope Die from Papertrey Ink to cut the matching envelope:

I´d like to enter it in these challenges:

Mini Card Set

Ok, as promised, here´s the Mini Card Set I made - for my Mom again - so tiny and cute!

These cards and envelopes measure only 3 by 1 7/8  inches or 7,7 x 4,8 cm!

... and they´re so addictive, because you can make them even if you are in a hurry ... 1-2-3-finished!

I´d like to enter this card set into these challenges:

"Less is More"  and  "CAS-ual Fridays"

Thanks for visiting me today!

Adorable tiny

Hi there,


I was a lazy blogger lately - we´ve been on a well deserved vacation in September and enjoyed it a lot. I´ll share some pictures in the next few weeks…

For today I´ve a small card to share – I bought the “Tiny Envelope Die” from Papertrey Ink – and it´s addictive !

It´s so easy now to cut an envelope – just 1 minute including folding and adhering and you´ve a cute, tiny envelope in an adorable size!

And the matching cards are finished in a few minutes, too!

Here´s an example – I´ll show you more in upcoming blog posts…

Thanks for visiting! I appreciate you!

Mini-Card-Set "Owls"/Part 2

... and the last ones...

... and my favourite:

The whole set:

I had so much fun making these... using some scraps, coloring (even though I colored them with normal felt-tip pens; that was before my Promarkers came)... this set was a gift for my Mum - I will make similar ones for me to give away for sure... they´re really fun to make!

Have a nice beginning of the week!

Just a little owl-minicard...

Last spring I bought the clear mini stamp "Sleepy Owl" - Dimensions Crafts LLC/Inkadinkado , but never used it... what a shame! It is sooo beautiful!

So I decided to make some minicards for my Mum... have already some, but no time (and not enough daylight when I´m at home) to photograph them.
I just made a quick shot from this one for http://pollycraftchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/challenge-73-colour-scheme.html

(I colored with felt-tip pens for children, but my Promarkers are on the way! Have to be patient... )

They look so cute all together - I will show you a picture in a few days!

For all owl-lovers: there´s a free owl-calendar available on this site!

Have a fabulous weekend and thanks for visiting!
