Crate Paper | Xmas Layout with Falala

Crate Paper | FaLaLa Scrapbook Layout

Christmas markets are really great. I enjoy the lights, the delicious food, the tempting smell of sweets and candies. And I also like to watch people enjoying their rides on merry-go-rounds. I'm sharing an Xmasy layout that I created with the wonderful FaLaLa Christmas Collection from Crate Paper on the Crate Paper Blog today. The layout features a black-and-white snapshot of a merry-go-round from a Christmas market in Berlin, Germany. You can find out more over on the Crate Paper Blog today. Thank you for stopping by over there too (click). Have a wonderful day, yours Sandra.

Weihnachtliches Scrapbook Layout | FaLaLa von Crate Paper

Ich mag es auf Weihnachtsmärkten zu fotografieren. Besonders die schönen Karusselle haben es mir angetan. Wenn die Dämmerung einsetzt und die Lichter angeschaltet werden, kann man richtig gute Fotos machen. Ein Schwarz-Weiß-Foto eines Karussells - aufgenommen auf einem Berliner Weihnachtsmarkt im Dezember 2016 - findet auf dem Layout, welches bereits im Oktober entstand, seinen Auftritt. Geschmückt ist das Layout mit vielen verschiedenen Embellishments aus der aktuellen Weihnachtskollektion FaLaLa von Crate Paper. Auf dem Blog von Crate Paper könnt ihr mehr erfahren. Schaut gern auch dort vorbei. Herzliche Grüße von eurer Sandra.

Happy Days Card

I created a simple card with the happy days perspextive. I added some die-cut clouds in blue to go along with the two background papers I used for the card. The overall design of the card is clean to make the perspextive stand out. The card looks like sweet candy and reminds me of a warm summer day.

Thank you for stopping by on my blog today. Have a good day, yours Sandra :).

Flora & Fauna | No ordinary Xmas Greetings

Flora & Fauna Guest Designer

Isn't this stamp set the cutest? I used the set to create two cards and two Xmas gift tags. The idea for the first card was to show a whimsical caravan making their way through the desert.

The second card shows a shelf with different succulents, flower pots and a cute llama for decoration. The stamped images are colored in with watercolors.

Next up are two cute and simple Xmas gift tags. I stamped onto white cardstock and colored the images with watercolors. I fussy cut the stamped images and attached them with foam pads.

Two Die-Cut Sets

The next card features the die-cut set with the glass dome. I used glittery white cardstock, transparency foil (acetate) and a light-green foam craft sheet for the stand. Then I placed succulent die-cuts around the glass dome and attached a light-green string for decoration.

Finally, I would like to share a card that I made with the Terrarium Die Set. I used glittery white cardstock for the succulents and foam craft sheets for the terrarium. I also added some lovely paper flowers.

Flora & Fauna | Flower Wrapping

Guest Designer | Flora & Fauna

Flora & Fauna asked me to create some projects for them as a guest designer. They are a US based company and they sell cute clear stamps and dies. Take some time to browse their lovely online-shop (click). I'm sure you will find something you like.

The cutest stamps and dies

Flora & Fauna kindly sent me three products to create with. Arent't these stamps and dies the cutest?! I particularly like the glass dome, the llamas and the flower pots. The stamp set is called Fa la la Llama Set and the dies are Glass Dome Die and Terrarium Cluster Die.

Cute Shaker Tag And Stamped Flower Wrapping

Today I'm sharing one of the projects I created with the Fa-la-la-llama Stamp Set and the Terrarium Cluster Die. I created a cute shaker tag and I also made a cool flower wrapper with stamped flower pots on it. It holds a bouquet of artificial flowers.

How to

1. Grab a piece of paper for the flower wrapping. The size of the paper depends on the size of the bouquet you want to wrap. I used a DIN A5 sized paper. I stamped a regular pattern onto the paper with one of the flower pot stamps.

2. To make the shaker hang tag, you will need a foam craft sheet, white cardstock, transparency foil (acetate), some sequins and two of the succulent die-cuts from the die set. First, die-cut the terrarium from the foam craft sheet. You will need two of these. Then, you create a 'sandwich' with four layers.

The layers are as follows from bottom to top:

• bottom layer: white cardstock
• die-cut terrarium from foam craft sheet and decoration (sequins, die-cut succulents)
• transparency foil (glue transparency foil to the foam craft terrarium and use a scissors to trim the transparency foil to the shape of the terrarium)
• top layer: second die-cut terrarium from foam craft sheet

I hope you like my inspiration. Thank you for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day, yours Sandra.

You can choose from many lovely colours and designs. Stop by their shop to find out more (click). I would like to share another layout inspiration with you today. You might want to check out an earlier post, where I shared the first layout as guest designer for Bramble Fox (click).     

Im November bin ich Gastdesignerin für Bramble Fox. Bramble Fox ist ein kleiner feiner Online-Shop aus Großbritannien. Wenn ihr auf der Suche nach besonderen Embellishments für eure Projekte seid, dann ist Bramble Fox ein guter Tipp. Neben Flair-Buttons findet ihr im Online-Shop tolle Perspextives, d.h. mit dem Laser geschnittene Schriftzüge und Motive. Schaut im Shop vorbei, vielleicht findet ihr das eine oder andere Schätzchen für eure Projekte (click). In einem früheren Post hier auf meinem Blog zeigte ich schon ein Layout mit den Perspextives. Solltet ihr den Post verpasst haben, dann könnt ihr gern hier nochmal nachlesen. Das heutige Layout ist minimalistisch gestaltet. Getreu dem Motto 'Weniger ist mehr', finden sich auf dem Layout nur einige wenige ausgesuchte und stimmig miteinander kombinierte Embellishments. Das Layout entspricht so ziemlich meinem Naturell - ich bin und mag es eher unaufdringlich und ohne Drama... :).

Scrapbook Page Happy Days

For today's page I used the happy days perspextive and some die-cut clouds. I wanted the photo to be the star of the layout. I decided to go for a minimalistic design, because I think that sometimes less is more. I only added some journaling, a doily and two sequins in addition to the perspextives from Bramble Fox. I took the photo of the boats at Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg. According to their website, it's the 'largest model railway in the world, and one of the most successful permanent exhibitions in Northern Germany'. If you ever happen to be in Hamburg, this would be an attraction I'd recommend for you to visit. It's fun!!!

Thank you for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day, yours Sandra.

Crate Paper Good Vibes | More Fun Cards

Crate Paper Good Vibes

Earlier this month I shared three cards with Crate Paper's Good Vibes Collection (click). Because I like this collection so much, I created some more fun cards, featuring the lovely pom pom frames and a tag with stitched details. Thanks for looking :). Have a good day, yours Sandra.

Heute möchte ich euch neue farbenfrohe und 'fancy' Karten mit der Good Vibes Collection von Crate Paper zeigen. Der Anhänger mit den vorgestanzten Löchern hat es mir besonders angetan. Mit Nadel und Stickgarn könnt ihr den Anhänger mit verschiedenen Motiven verzieren. Ich entschied mich für ein Herz. Kleine Sterne oder Quadrate sind auch gut als Verzierungen denkbar. Ich hoffe euch gefällt meine Karteninspiration. Danke für's Vorbeischauen. Herzliche Grüße von eurer Sandra.
