Stempel Spass

   Hi Everyone, I am playing along with  Woodblock Wednesday  from Amy Tsuruta. It's such a good excuse to play with my wonderful wood stamps! This stamp is actually a new addition to my woodblock stamp collection. It is  a gift from Amy - I won it at the last Woodblock Wednesday. Thanks again Amy, what a treasure this on is! I stamped the scripted tree (Hero Arts) and heat embossed it in white. Added lots of white splatters. Stamped the hedgehog (Penny Black) and bird (Inkadinkadoo) onto scrap paper, colored them and added them. And here are all those wonderful woodblock stamps: Hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Woodblock Wednesday Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - anything goes  

   Hi Everyone, This week's theme is anything goes on the  Topflight blog .  I am now in major Christmas card mode. Don't expect to see much else for the next couple of weeks... I have a shaped card for you today. I don't make those very often... I got the template from my blogging friend Flo from Flos Habseligkeiten . It's quite an easy one. You take a 11x8.5" piece of card stock and cut it lengthwise in half. Then you fold it along the diagonal. and then you fold it again, matching up the long and short ends. I hope that was clear....This creates a nice pocket - you could use it as a gift card or money holder as well. I stamped onto the card. Added some wood patterned paper to the inside. cut  some paper to fit the outer backside and stamped the Santa in his bed onto it. Brushed around in black and blue. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration. And here are the stamp supplies I used:  Keep Calm KTZ15

  Hi Everybody!   I am back with my  Crackerbox Stamps  post for this week . Not much longer until Christmas, so you will see a lot of Christmas cards from me in the coming weeks.... Some of the products I have used have been provided to me from various companies I design for. Affiliate links may be used in the links provided below.    This is a very simple card. I first masked my card and sponged it with distress oxide inks in an ombre pattern . I stamped the tree and the sentiment.  Added little gems and some Stickles.

Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post.  I wanted to play along with  Tag along with Isa  over on Facebook - see graphic below. I think I used enough elements to qualify.... I first stamped the books and then the owl. Masked them. Used a stencil from Funky Fossil Designs for the background. Added the scrip and the branches. Brushed around the edges and colored the owl a bit. Heat embossed the sentiment and cut it out. The stamps I used are from the following sets: Cats on Books - KTZ295,  Owls - KTZ237,  Christmas Snowflakes - KTZ282,  Birch Forest - KTZ285,  Enjoy Quotes - KTZ291 (FRANCE) Cats on Books  - KTZ295,  Owls  - KTZ237,  Christmas Snowflakes - KTZ282,  Birch Forest  - KTZ285,  Enjoy Quotes - KTZ291   (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting!

Hi Everybody!  I am back with a post for  Funky Fossil Designs . If you missed out on the wonderful calendar Funky Fossil had in the store last year - now is your change of grabbing one of the new ones! They are still available , but last year they sold like hot cakes and were gone in no time!  I used the delightful set Woodcut Woodlands to create my January page. I wanted a wintery feel to it, so I restrained myself with the colors. Jus a bit of light blue sponging, some grey for the ground and light grey stamping on the left side of my paper. Found it a bit bland, so I added the mushrooms with some thread and also stamped directly onto the calendar. Be careful if you do that, because the paper has a slight gloss to it and the stamps slide easily on the paper. That's why my hedgehog has such a small eye.... Oh well, you live and learn! All stamps are form the same set. The stamps I used: Desktop Calendar A5 Woodcut Woodlands    I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting! Grab you

Hi Everyone, This week's theme is all about tags, containers or gift card holders on the  Topflight blog .  I went with tags - always come to good use! Those tags are really easy to make and you can easily mass produce them. I used a tag die from my stash and cut them out of card stock. I brushed the tags with two different inks (Lavinia Elements see below and wild honey distress ink) and used my beloved Lavinia stamps to create the scenery. I did some generational stamping as you can see. Added some white splatters for some snow and added the heat embossed sentiment.  Lastly I attached some twine from my stash. I hope you liked this.
