Hello everyone,
Today I have a Halloween shaker card for you. I upcycled it from an old record sleeve.
I used the Time for Potions digital stamp from the new release. You can find this image and much more in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I trimmed the sleeve and sealed the ends with Sellotape. Then I filled it with sequins and sealed it at the top with Sellotape. I colored the image, cut it out, and glued it on. Then I added some Halloween baubles for a spooky look. I punched out the Boo, and I stamped the sentiment.
See you next time!

Hello everyone,
Today, everything's all about weddings and red. When I had the digital stamp Are You Ready No. 2 in front of me, it was clear – everything's going to be red :-).
You can find the image in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop, along with many other great digital stamps.
I colored and cut out the image. I made the wedding album freehand and then glued the image to the front. I cut the letters out of cardstock and glued them on.
Have a wonderful day, everyone, and see you next time.

Today there's another digital stamp from the new release, Zahira from the Le Pine Collection.
As always, you can find Zahira and other great images in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I stippled the background again with Distress Oxides. Then I punched out two circles and attached the whole thing with display film – for the shaker element. I then attached the whole thing with foam tape. The image is also attached with foam tape. A few punches and banners complete the card.
See you next time!

Good morning everyone,
Today I brought you the cool Selene. I think her outfit is so great and it's so much fun coloring Selene. I'm excited to see what you think of this slimline card.
You can find Selene from the Le Pine Collection in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I colored and cut out the image. I smudged the background with Distress Oxides. Then I opened a few die cuts and applied the colored digital stamp. The sentiment banner completes the card.
See you next time

I colored the image, cut it out, and adhered it to the finished background. I smudged the background with Distress Oxides, stamped it with stamps, and adhered a selfie cutout. Of course, I added a sentiment and a few gems.
Have a wonderful day everyone, and see you next time.

Hello there Mirtillamente fans!
Hello everyone,
today I have a meditation display for you. I made it for my personal meditation corner. The text means: Reconnection. Peace. Regeneration.
I used the amazin digital stamp Bamboo and Lotus from the Zen Collection, which you can find in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I glued the display together from wooden blocks. I colored the image, cut it our, and glued it to acrylic sheet for stability. I wrote the text myself.
I wish you all a wonderful meditative week and see you next time.

Hello everyone,
For very special people, very special cards are needed. For this card, I chose the Romance digital stamp from the Eat and Drink Collection. I think it's so magical. You can find this and other great images in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
The background is matted with Distress Oxides and stamped with background stamps. I colored the image, cut it out, and adhered it to the background. I matted the sentiment and added a thread. A few Enamel Dots, and a special card is ready.
Have a wonderful day, everyone.

Hello there Mirtillamente fans!
Hello everyone,
It's coffee time. I love espresso and coffee. Do you too? I colored this great digital stamp with the espresso machine just like my espresso portafilter machine looks. I simply love it. Coffee Break is from the Eat and Drink Collection. You can find this beautiful image in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I colored it with Copics, Ohuhus, and Polychromos, then cut it out and glued it onto the background. The sentiment and a few Enamel Dots complete the card.
See you next time.

Are you as excited for summer as I am? I'm a real sun lover :-). To make the wait a little shorter, today I'm sharing a bookmark with the enchanting Lisa Paperelle from the Le Gine Collection, who's about to jump into the cool water. You can find the digital stamp in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I colored the image with Copics, Ohuhus, and Polychromos. I cut it out and adhered it to the punched-out background. I added a few bubbles and a sentiment – and the summery bookmark is complete.
See you next time.

I bring Apple Flavor from the awesome Mirtillamente Craft Shop to you today, just because who doesn't love some gorgeous pie and cream? This image is from the Eat and Drink Collection.
I coloured the image up with markers, pencils and a white pen. I then used a fabulous paper to create the card base. A die cut flower, leaves and sentiment complete my card!
Speak soon xx
there is a new release at the Mirtillamente Craft Shop. This cute girl named Camille is a new digistamp from the Shop.
I colored her with my alcohol markers. For the background I used a paper with a denim look which matches with the blue jeans. I hope you like my birthday card.
Have a nice day!

Hello everyone,
Today, as usual, I'm sharing another slimline card. I simply love this card shape. I used the beautiful Digital Stamp Wasser from the Le Pine Collection for this one. You can find it in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I simply smudged the background with Distress Oxides and embellished it with a few stars. I colored the image, cut it out, and glued it on. I added the frames later because something was missing from the card. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the background.
Have a wonderful day everyone, and see you next time.

Hello Mirtillamente fans!
I had so much fun creating this card. I colored the Deep Sea digital stamp from the Crazy Paws Collection from the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I then placed a diorama stencil over the coloured motif to wipe the background with different shades of blue from my Distress Oxides. For the finishing touches, I added a few splashes of water and white acrylic splashes.
Have a creative day!

my new card is already a little summery. I had my feet in the sea back in March - it was freezing cold, but I just loved it. Anyway, for my card I coloured the cool flip-flops from the digital stamp ‘Summer Beach’ from the Svario collection which you can find in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I also coloured a beach and ocean waves in the background with my alcohol markers for the perfect ‘barefoot on the beach’ look. Well at least almost barefoot but I hope you feel the sand between your toes as well.
Have a nice day!

today I share with you my new card. I made a Mini Slimline Card with this beautiful digital stamp Bouquet from the Nature Collection from the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I colored the digital stamp in some pastel colors of alcohol markers for sending some spring greetings. I choose a green card base and combined it with a typewritten paper. I like this combination. I hope you too.
Have a creative day!

I think it's about time for spring, don't you? Perhaps my new card will help to draw this out. I used the beautiful Enya from the Fairyland Collection which you can find in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I colored this digital stamp with my alcohol markers in a touch of emerald green. For the background, I once again used my favourite watercolour technique and mixed it with Distress Oxides and water. Subsequently I stamped this beautiful wreath with the butterfly and some leaves.
The wreath stamp set I had in my stash also includes a beautiful Italian text stamp, which fitted perfectly here. It means something like ‘Just a touch of spring and the soul smiles’. I thought it went really well with the wonderful fairy.
Have a lovely day!

Hello everyone,
Today there is a simple but sweet Hello Slimline card with the cute Koala. I love Koalas almost as much as I love Dinos, so he had to hop on a card too.
You can find the Koala digital stamp from the Almost Cute Collection in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I wiped the background of the card with Distress Oxides and applied the lines with stamp ink and a ruler. I colored the image with Copics and Polychromos, cut it out and stuck it onto the finished background, as well as the punched-out sentiment. I stamped "Sending smiles" directly onto the card.
I hope I was able to give you a little creative inspiration again.
See you next time.

for my new slimline card I used this brilliant lady Harriet from the Le Olivie Collection from the Mirtillamente Craft Shop. I colored her in a mix of purple and yellow with my alcohol markers.
For making an interesting background I wiped three different stencils in three colors on top of each other in several layers. A few splashes and enamel dots finish off the background.
Have a nice day!

Hi crafty friends,
oh yes, I admit it, I have a weakness for the moon and who is surprised that I also like this great digistamp from the Mirtillamente Craft Shop. This Boho Halfmoon is from the Nature Collection and I had so much fun coloring it with my alcohol markers.
I only added a stripe of rainbow paper for having the spot on this beautiful moon.
Have a creative day!

Hello everyone,
since Valentine's Day is not far away, I have a Valentine's Day card for you today with these two cute dogs. Have you already made cards for Valentine's Day?
You can find beautiful digital stamps in the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
I printed out the image, colored it and cut it out. For the mailbox this time I used design paper that I punched out with a corresponding punch. Then I stuck everything on with three-dimensional foam tape.
Have a wonderful day.
Until next time.

I love making ATCs and so I used the Winter Drinks for making a range. The Winter Drinks is a digital stamp from the Eat & Drink Collection from the Mirtillamente Craft Shop.
The basic cards I made from some envelopes of my advent calendar last year. Some color sprinkles matching the colored digistamps and they were finished fast.
Have a nice day!
Christin
