Same but different #1
Pour les explications en français, cliquer ici.
Anja and I are two cardmakers from Switzerland. We love the same stamps and products! We also like to play with the different crafting techniques. This is why we decided to start a monthly challenge between both of us, which consists of creating a project with the same stamp, craft supplies or technique. It will be such fun seeing the similarities and differences in how the two of us use the same stuff. We got inspired by Jennifer McGuire (she spoke about those challenges in the Kick Start Online Card Class) and also by Christine's and Anni's "Lottie and Lisa" ("Das doppelte Lottchen").
We call our challenge "Same but different".
Doesn’t
that sound like a cool challenge? If you have the same stamp and if you
get inspired by our challenge, feel free to play with us! Leave a direct
link to your project in the comment field below (No back links, please! It will
be funnier to see new creations!). You can also upload your cards on our Same but different Flickr gallery!
Ok, let’s
start with the first "Same but different" challenge.
Here is a
peek at the stamp we used ("Up and Away" from Mama Elephant):
And this is
my take on the stamp set:
I love this
stamp set from Mama Elephant. The balloons are fun and the little animals super
cute. But I saw many cards with those images and this is why I wanted to create
something very different. I decided to stretch my stamps! The umbrella became a
shell, one of the balloons turned into a pearl and I only used a part of the
sentiment "Spread Happiness (wherever you go)". I made the background with the "Sunburst"
stencil from Wendy Vecchi and Distress inks sponged with blending tools. I colored the
shell and the pearl with Copic markers and fixed them to the background with 3D
foam pads. To finish up my card, I added three adhesive pearls and a bit of Wink
of Stella clear shimmer to the pearl in the shell. Do you like the way I
stretched my stamps?
Hope you
had fun with this post! See you next month for a new "Same but different"
challenge. Thanks for stopping by!

das ist ja eine tolle Challenge!! Und was für eine wunderschöne Idee mit der Muschel - stretch your stamps in Perfektion :-))Da ich das selbe Stempelset habe, werde ich wohl auch mitmachen - muss mich aber noch bis nach meinen Ferien gedulden.... Idee ist aber schon da und kann es kaum erwarten ;-))
Lieber Gruss, Stéphanie
