Clean and Simple Day 2


I am trying to keep up with everything.....My Clean and simple Class, some challenges, life.... - what is better as to combine some of those things? Paper smooches has this beautiful inspiration picture for their new challenge. Orange is one of my favorite colors, how can I not play?




Day 2 of the Clean and Simple class has this pretty card in it by Debby Hughes, which I would like to show you, but can't - its class property. Anyhow she reminded us that we can use our dies to emboss paper and that's how this card came to be:





And lastly this card fits the KIS challenge #6 - Dry embossing.

Thank you all for looking at my blog and leaving such uplifting comments. I enjoy them tremendously! I wish you a very nice and pleasant weekend!

Materials:  Memory Box Die - Chloe Stem, stamp: Hampton Art - Botanical, sentiment - Paper smooches - Christmas sampler. The little dots next to the sentiment are made with Stickles and Perfect Pearls.

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

Some more Christmas Cards...

Hi Everyone, there still are some Christmas cards  I made awhile ago and have not yet posted.... This one I made for the  Runway Inspired Challenge . The inspiration photo is below. I found it a little tricky to make this into a Christmas card, but with the help  of Neat&Tangled stamps it worked....The stitched dies are by Simon Says. Added some Washi tape on top (the headdress) and silver glitter paper at the bottom (the floor and silver shoes) and voila a Christmas card! My second card I made with an iStencil, gold embossing paste, faux pearls, an enamel dot and lots of splatters. The stitched die I cut the Kraft panel with is by Simon Says. I love this stencil and stenciled cards are just so quick and easy to make. I used this one for several cards this year, on of which you can see HERE . http://www.istencils.com/store/products/22-00029 I am linking up this card with: Stamps and fun=Creativity - Christmas U...
