My First Magic Color Slider Card for Father's Day!

My best friend owns Lawn Fawn's "Magic Color Slider" and I tried it for this year's Father's Day card for my partner. On the top layer it says "a little surprise for you". Inside you see me and our two kids created with the Stampin'Up "all in the family" stamp set. I love the outcome!

Diaper Cake for Felix!

I never showed you my second diaper cake I made for a friend of mine who welcomed their second son. This time I used the Stampin'UP stamp sets "Zoo Babies" and "All in the Family" for it and wrote his name with washi tape. I was looking for the pictures as I want to make a diaper cake again soon, as one of my best friends is due with her second baby girl within the next days.

Happy Birthday, Magdalena!

My cousins daughter celebrated her 5th birthday in July and I made her the following card, using the Stampin'up "All in the family" girl in the middle circle. I used the heat embossing technique on the corners of all circles.

100% boy!

A friend of mine welcomed her third child, her second boy, and therefore it was time for another baby card. After a long time, I used the Stampin'up set "all in the family" again. When I bought the designer paper I used as background, it reminded me on a page in a dictionary.

Merry Christmas from me to you!

With this christmas card symbolising my little family I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and some peaceful days with your loved ones.

Once again, I used the "all in the family" stamp set from Stampin'up.

Happy Birthday, Darling!

Our daughter turned one year last weekend and I had to make a birthday card for her, last minute.
As it was a card for her, our little angel, it had to be something special, which made it even more difficult.

The little girl is from the Stampin'up set "All in the family". The crown is from a set of brads. On the left top corner I used ribbon. To get a special effect for the number one I used an embossing folder. The Happy Birthday sentiment is stamped on a piece of die cut from my "Nesting frames". For the bottom right corner I used a corner punch with a butterfly.

Pink Birthday wishes!

My cousin's daughter turned 6 last weekend and I made her a birthday card using just pink ink and paper.

It was another possibility to use my Stampin'up set "All in the family" together with other birthday stamps and different cutting dies.

Party People!

For this funny birthday card I combined my "All in the family" and "Party Hearty" stamp set from Stampin'up. To get all the different colored hats it took longer than I thought. One reason was, that the ink didn't dry very fast on this white paper of mine. I found a suitable brad for every hat and inked the edges of the white paper with pink. Finally, a button as ornament.

Happy Father's Day!

This week I finally met Elisa from Tinkerella's Bastelwelt in person. She lives about 30 min drive away from my place. I asked her if she can show me some scrapbooking techniques as I saw so many fabulous cards on her blog. 

I got jealous when I entered her crafting studio. She has a room just for crafting and I am carrying my stuff in a box from room to room. 

I asked her if she can help me with a father's day card for my partner and with relocation cards for 2 friends of mine.

I had a fantastic time with her and got home with lots of new ideas. Thanks, Elisa!

Here is my father's day card for which I used fantastic Stampin'up stamps to recreate my family:
