Clean & Simple Day 1 and some other fun


Today is day 3 of the Clean & Simple card making class. I was soooo delightfully busy today that I did not even progress to day 2. So this little post is about day 1, using masking. There is not much masking on this card, oh well. Some of the hearts are from Michaels, as is the sentiment, some are from Hero Arts. I used a Fiskars corner punch and underlayed the corners with red paper. 




 I spent my day at the Newark Museum, which has a fun little exhibit about tea pots. Here are some examples. The variety was amazing and some of them were really fun, like the middle pot in the top row, which shows a building with plumming and a dog on top, Ha, ha...!



Another really stunning piece was this:


It looked like a golden, glittery tapestry, but it was assembled from metal cans.

And now its movie time for me! Have a good night and thanks again for all those niece comments you left on my blog, I really enjoy reading them.

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
