altered christmas bottle for de Stempelwinkel

I love to alter bottles. First you have the joy of drinking and then the joy of altering the bottle :)


Here´s a little sneek peak,

christmas tags

I guess I am inbetween a lot of different art directions - sweet, steampunk, mixed media and grunch - and playing with tags for de Stempelwinkel it shows

Have a great day

more bookmarks for christmas

And here we go with some more - just to prove you I have not been totally lazy :)

I plan to give them to my working collegues. Of course pink going to a lady, the green one going to a hobby airplane crafter and the yellow one to a collegue who - no matter the weather - makes a 40 min trip to work on his bike every day - twice a day.

Stamps used are from de Stempelwinkel, Artistic Outposte and Tim Holtz.

Off to make some more, XOXO

bookmarks

I refound some white bookmarks in my paperstash and thought these were great for additional christmas gifts. With the first 2 finished I show you my interpretation.
The cat one is for my mother for christmas (having 2 cats) and the other one was a Nikolaus gift for my daughter (loving all Japanese stuff at the moment). Some more are soon to follow, as the 3rd one is already drying.

Stamps used are from Stampendous (the cats) and Carabelle Studio

May you all have a great 2. Advent. XoXo

just a little christmas card

As part of my "half-time" Design Team membership at de Stempelwinkel I made this colourful christmas postcard

For a link to all these great stamps go to de Stempelwinkel. Have a great 1. Advent

some christmas tags

A while ago a member of the Munich stamping group asked for our help and wanted us to make some christmas tags to be sold for charity reasons.
Here I show you my contribution

It was a lot of fun and made me use stamps I didn´t know I had (I know, I feel once again ashamed writing it down).

more cards

With the 1st of September coming nearer and nearer I want to show you what I have already finished for my mother:

 

These were really quick and easy using up some papers

just in case you are wondering: my mother loved the little houses last year.....


And going through my stash I found some tags from crafty individuals which I used as the base for the next 3 Cards. One has to try new styles once in a while so here we go

 

(you can see the wind blowing-LOL)

 

...and a great chance to use up some bling and embellishments :)

 

Off to make some more Cards....

a fun christmas tag

Don´t take it too seriously, I just had a lot of fun putting that tag together

 

I stenciled first the snowflakes with gesso, used my new gelatos and off it went with me

holidays are coming

Holidays are coming...

Inspired by Kate Crane I made this X-mas card

I am not such a big fan of the typical christmas cards so I tried to do something without angels and Santa. Having seen these cute little wings at de Stempelwinkel I suddenly knew what to do
