Polka dot house - hanging decor

I have made this tiny house for a friend who last year have found their dream house, dream home. Unfortunately, the house is still under renovation and they are looking forward to moving in. Until this precious moment, I try to cheer her up with this tiny house. 

I cut out the structure from 300 gsm paper. Then I took a 200 gsm paper and I stamped the polka dot pattern from the Stampers Anonymous Dots&Floral set on. After I heat embossed with Ranger white embossing powder. 

When it cooled down, I inked the surface with Hickory Smoke ink and cut out the structure again.

Then I glued the lighter paper on the heavy cardstock.

On the front of the house, I added tiny windows and a little door, and the number of their future house.

For the roof, I used the Nordic pattern of the Stampers Anonymous Plaid&Nordic stamp set. The process was the same, I stamped the Nordic pattern on the 200gsm paper, then heat embossed with white, then inked with Hickory Smoke.

On the back, I wrote a text: It feels like home. And I added a little heart too.

What I used:

Sizzix Bigz L die, Tiny Houses by Tim Holtz - I used the bigger structure

Sizzix Bigz XL die, Village Dwelling by Tim Holtz - for the door

Sizzix Bigz die, Village Bungalow by Tim Holtz - I used the smaller window

Sizzix Side Order, Valentine by Tim Holtz - for the tiny heart

Hanging with beer blueprint

My father has two passions: watching football and drinking beer. Typical, isn't it? On his name-day (27.06), he will be very lucky because he can see his favourite team, the Germans in the world cup and I'm sure he is going to drink beer meanwhile. 

So I made a hanging for his name-day that I have to post soon to arrive on time. From Luxembourg to Hungary it will take a week at least.

I'm not sure if you see it but I tried to visualize his favourite beer, the Paulaner on the bottle.

With my hanging, I would like to join the:

Hanging with crackled background and a house

I have a friend who has birthday today. At the beginning of this week I asked her what she wanted from me for this special day. She didn't know exactly but she liked my hanging with crackled background and she wanted a house. So I made this for her.

(Van egy barátnőm, akinek ma van a szülinapja. Még a hét elején megkérdeztem tőle, hogy mit szeretne kapni tőlem. Nem volt konkrét elképzelése, de tetszett neki a repesztett hátterű kis faliképem, és ezenkívül ragaszkodott a házhoz. Így ezt készítettem el neki.)

Little hanging with crackled background

On Tuesday when I went to pick up Eszter at school she told me: Oh Mom, I love the German teacher so much! Can you make her a card? 

It is totally new to me, because this is the first time she likes the German and her German teacher. She has been studying German for 5 years now!

So I have made a little hanging for Frau F. because I wasn't in the mood to make a card :-)

ATC with Tim Holtz seahorses

The last week Eszter was in a one week camp with her class. Most of the kids enjoyed this camp but not Eszter. She cried sometimes because this was the first time that she was away from us for such a long time. I was restless too. Anyway, it's over, we have survived it and luckily this is the past now. 

But this ATC is a very special one because I used those tiny shells that Eszter has brought home from the sea. And besides, this is the smaller version of my mixed media canvas with seahorses, so you can find the supply list there.

With this ATC I would like to enter the April Challenge of the Anything but cute blog: Earth Day.

Umbrella man in April shower - hanging

I bet you know exactly that spring/summer weather when the sun is shining but somewhere on the horizon there are gathering rainclouds and everything becomes grey. I wanted to visualise this when it's raining but the sun is still shining.

I created a 14x18 cm board from a chipboard. I gessoed with 3 layers then I applied different colours of chalk crayon. I spritzed the surface to blend the colours. 

First I stamped  with Ranger Archival Ink (Coffee) then with Ranger Distress Embossing Ink for the Ranger Distress Embossing Powder (Peeled Paint).

I inked the edges with Ranger Distress Ink (Gathered Twigs).

And below you can see that I put tiny drops from the Ranger Glossy Accents all around the surface to create raindrops.

Crafty Individuals, Summer Meadow (CI-385)
