A little bird...

I was playing around with my embossing folders and loved the results of inking this Nellie Snellen 3D embossing folder with  SU River Rock ink.

I mad this video to illustrate the process.

The tiny birds, from Charlie and Paulchen are popped up onto foam tape to add a little definition.

The sentiment was computer generated in Are you freakin serious font.

The code word this week at Addicted to CAS is Birds so this is for that challenge!

 

Happy Birthday

A card using dies from Gummiapan (net) and Charlie and Paulchen. The dies were cut from pieces of digitally printed card with images from pngwing. The pink was flowers and the green was a leafy background. I think it works quite well, giving slight variations of colour.  Sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

Have a magical birthday

 

This card is just a bit of fun. The rabbit was a 'thank you' freebie from Charlie & Paulchen with a recent order. I simply found a free piece of clip art of a magician's hat to pop him into, which I printed, cut out, and shaped, mounting it on some foam tape to keep the shape and adding a computer generated sentiment. The fonts used are Champagne and Limousines and Baby Lalisa.

The bunny was gently coloured with alcohol markers.

Hi

Not too long ago I discovered a craft company in Germany  called Charlie and Paulchen and was so taken by their die designs that I put in quite a few orders.  This little bunny was included with one of my orders as a 'thank you' and I think he is the cutest! The carton die is also by C&P. The 'hi' is from an old Cuttlebug die.  I coloured the bunny with some Copic markers. It's the simplest of cards but it gave me pleasure to make it!

Happy Birthday

Here is a new die from Charlie and Paulchen, which is a circle with a few seagulls. I printed a piece of blue paper and cut one circle from that and another from white and inlaid the white seagulls into the blue sky. The lighthouse is a freebie die from a mag and I extended the cut slightly as the lighthouse was positioned on the right of the land and was in the way of the seagulls. The starfish is also by Charlie and Paulchen and the stamped sentiment by Avery Elle. The circle and square dies for the panels are from Presscut. Looking at this makes me feel calm somehow!

Little Rabbit

Recently I discovered a website in Germany, which makes the most adorable dies amongst other crafty things. Since my discovery, I have visited the site quite a few times and things just seemed to find their way into my basket. This dear little chap was a little thank you with one of my orders and I think he is the cutest thing. The site is called Charlie and Paulchen   and they do stock other brands besides their own. For this simple card I used a pot die from The Greetery and coloured it with Copic markers and gently added a little watercolour to the bunny.

It's for a couple of challenges.

Happy BIrthday

How could I not join in with this challenge at Less is More.... the challenge I created with Mandi 11 years ago! That's such a milestone in Blog challenge terms. Thanks SO much to the fabulous crafters who have continued the tradition since I stepped down... quite a few years ago now. 

This card is made mainly with dies by Charlie and Paulchen. The window was made from a large arched window die by Memory Box, but I shortened it and removed the arch by partially cutting from each end. It turned out to be just the right size for the roman blind die from C&P. I thought the dresser might come in handy for some baby cards and there are all sorts of other bits and bobs which go with this set.

Long may the CAS tradition continue at Less is More and thanks once more to those carrying it forward!

 

Joy to the world

Recently I discovered a site in Germany where they produce the most enchanting dies. The company is called Charlie and Paulchen and this little chap is one of theirs. I coloured him with Copics and assembled him to stand before the little scene comprised of dies by various manufacturers, but I quite like the combo. It's like white on white with a splash of colour, which I thought went quite well for the challenge at AAA Cards which is for Black and White plus one.

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.

I think Christmas cards are one of my favourite themes to make!
