2 Peas awhh.. kitten in a pod

Hello ladies…
I am still trying to catch up with the season appropriate cards. This is the first year I feel I am dragging behind. The “master plan” for 2013 is that I make at least 1 Christmas card per month throughout the year. geezzz…. I have gotten all those lovely Magnolia stamps and barely had a chance to use those.
Anyhow.. time for those Valentines cards… this period to make those kind of cards is way to short anyways. I found this animal printed paper in a Basic Grey pad (black dress) and I never used any of the papers… but the print of this sheet was nice and small and spiced up with just some pinks it turned out really cute with this new kitten stamp from Lili of the Valley.

Well, well.. my kids just got picked up by their grandparents from Canada to spent a week there, before school starts for them. Wow.. I will have a full week all for myself whooohoo!! So this weekend I will help my husband laying the hardwood floor in the basement but than I have like 5!!! I feel dizzy without any alcohol hahaha. Definitely want to use some of this time with my stamps. I have the feelings since I came home from Germany I have to squeeze stamping time in all the time and I have not even had a chance to play with my new images. This one is from the forthcoming Lili of the Valley “Christmas Animals” I am sure you saw already some samples. I am not quite there yet to make 100% Christmas cards, so my cards for now are more “Winter” and inspired and fit in the “card for all occasions” section. I think I will get there eventually Smile There are some really sweet images in this new collection and most of all.. some are going to be so easy to color in – perfect for those last minute cards or little gifts to decorate – cause really who can spent 1 hour coloring to decorate like a bunch of gift boxes?

Gee… I was chatty today.. you can tell already – I  am in “relax” mode hahahaha

Little Miss MuuMuu

Claudia_Rosa_MIss Mu Mu_1
Well… is she not cute???? When I was making the card I was already envisioning me and my boys going for a hike on the German Alps. I used to do this like once or twice a year in summer and my friends and I would always stop by a "Kaeserei” a shop where they make the cheese right there fresh using milk the cows produce. Meaning those cows eat just the grass there on the alps and I think they can kind of run around wild I guess, or have large areas they can feed. Heck what do I know… I am not a city girl but the the town is rather large. For me seeing no fence means “wild” and better watch out… something might come bite you in your behind. Just kidding, luckily Miss MuuMuu seams to be a very friendly one of her kind Smile

Stamps: Miss MuuMuu – Summer Memories
Papers: Simple.. something.. I forgot
Paper doily, Stampin up Ribbon, Wild Orchid flowers and the card was done in no time

Something quick…

Claudia_Rosa_Happy Days_2
to post on my blog using the new line of Lili of the Valley stamps – this cutie will be in the Clear Companions stamp set – the sentiment is included.
I had planned to also add a little tag along with the Gift card – it just did not work out time wise for me.
Folding tutorial is on Splitcoast

You make me smile

just a quick card with one of the new Lili of the Valley images – this one can be found in the Cute Companion set.
The size is perfect to add to a 6x6 card maybe to the inside or for the US market, as many of us make here the invitation sized cards to the front of the card.

LOVT peek

Claudia_Rosa_Blooming Day_1
which is no longer a peek anymore lol.. I bet you have seen this cutie already. I think it was all of our favorite when we saw a peek of the new designs. This one is called “Blooming Day” and the teddy stamp comes with a matching sentiment. Usually I do like my sentiments on the front of the card but it did not work out, so I tucked the sentiment to the inside on a tag.

Lili of the Valley Sneek Peek

Hello, iam sure you have spotted already some cards made with the new Lili of the Valley stamps. All new soon to be released images are going to be Teddy images. So if you are a fan of those cute and easy to color in images are you are going to have lots to choose from.

All my designs with the new images are going to be easy to duplicate, mass produce and easy to mail. I wanted to use those images with a more simpler approach. This card does not use any bulky embellishments as flowers and I must say I love the way it turned out. It’s going to be so easy for a change to mail this card. Smile

Sending you a great big hug

This card is for sale in my Etsy shop, if purchased by tomorrow at 3:30 pm I can mail it Tuesday (which is my mail day Smile)
Thank you for your consideration
Claudia_Rosa_big hug_3
Hello friends, an other easel card.. I know I know.. I really found the love again creating scenes and combining all those great Magnolia stamps (all though it does take more time – and I must say I kind of freak out with all the stuff I have to get done before my holiday – iam gone almost 4 weeks!!) What I like about the easel cards is, that they really do look nice when displayed but also it pulls off the colors of the Design papers. Otherwise when I have a large focal point image the patterns are so hard to see.

I absolutely love this card! So happy how the coloring turned out, I colored on the crychon paper – I just love that settled shimmer. I guess this is just ME! I like it dark. I have later this week an other card (which I will also sell) but it’s totally the opposite.
Other: Basic Grey,

Bring Back Beautiful Challenge Team ~ Flourishes

Bring Back Beautiful_edited-2
Hello again! Today I would like to share with you my first Design Team card for the Bring Back Beautiful Challenge! I am so excited to be invited to participate for Flourishes in this monthly challenge and also along with those wonderful talented Designers. Have you seen the wonderful Flourishes stamps? I love, love, love the all the flower sets the company has. OMG, how exciting to be able to do something different than cute cards.  For the ones of you who have not been on any of the Flourishes sites, it may be nice to know that Flourishes has several Challenges – you could check them all out going from the store site to all the Challenges, that are currently running. Bring Back Beautiful Challenge is a challenge that runs always 1 entire month, starting Mondays.

Claudia_Rosa_Flourishes_Happy Spring
For this month’s Bring Back Beautiful challenge, we’d like to honor those in our lives that bless us with their friendship with THE BEAUTY OF FRIENDSHIP. The challenge is just that simple – make a card or creation with a friend in mind! The Bring Back Beautiful Team did an amazing job showcasing all the ways you can send off some caring thoughts to those special people in our lives.

Flourishes stamps are clear acryl stamps – I love those cute little bunnies in the grass so much, so before it was too late to use this year I wanted to make a simple Spring card with “Spring has Sprung” to sent to dear Janice. I stamped the image onto Copic x-Press Cardstock with Memento ink and it stamped all details the very first time perfectly. Got to love that!!!

An other sneaky peek

Claudia_Rosa_Easter_Sweeties_2
Hello girlies… Valentines is not even here but yet, there is my first Easter card. I absolutely love to make Spring cards.
Coloring on this image is not so “high contrast” as on my other cards.. simply due to the pale papers and also I felt it was not so nice with those cute little ducklings.
Claudia_Rosa_Easter_Sweeties_1
Iam sure you might know already.. this is one of the soon to be released LOVT images… not sure if you saw it already on other blogs… if not.. the name of this stamp is “Easter Sweeties”. The stamps are soon on the store front released. For updates may I suggest to sign up for the store newsletter – it’s a great way to find out about sales and new releases.

Claudia_Rosa_bucket love_2
I just love those Basic Grey Sugar Rush papers… they are just “happy” papers. Unfortunately I am almost out of my pretty papers. I guess I have to look on Ebay to find a extra pad.
Claudia_Rosa_bucket love_1
The cute image is by Lili of the Valley it was released in the latest release and is called “buckets of love” the sentiment comes with the image.

Take Care Of Yourself

Claudia_Rosa_take care of yourself_750
Hello sweets… today I can post one of my cards I did submit in July 2011 to a book. This one did not make the cut along with a Magnolia card but iam happy one of my cards did make it. I can tell you in a little while more. Eventually I am going to be able to give 1 book away as candy here on my blog.
Claudia_Rosa_take care of yourself_1
since it is been a while I made the card I can not recall too much. I know the image was colored only with Copic Markers – the Paper is by Maja Design and the cute image is by Lili of the Valley “Milly Cuddle Time”– Sentiment is Stampin up.
Claudia_Rosa_take care of yourself_2
I as always would like to say thanks for swinging by aaaand… TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF Smile mwah
