Less is More & PDC 173

And again I can welcome two new members to my blog - how great is that! Wow - you guys amaze me! I started this blog at the end of October last year and I never ever dreamed of having so many people actually like my cards so much and join here. Thank you all! 

And now lets say HELLO to


and 


Wendy is on the DT for Designs by  Ryn ( I am envious....), who has designed of of my all time favorite stamps - the famous water droplet stamp and Sunehra has several blogs at once - how does she do that??? One of her blogs is pointedly called "Crafting till the Crack of Dawn" - I guess that's a hint....

As I do with all my new members - I have a welcome picture for you:




It is from a small exhibit that was last spring in the Museum of Hoboken. The exhibit was from a group called Puppet Heap, which is based in Hoboken and founded by Paul Andrejco. It was so much fun, to look at all those puppets and props. I hope you like it as much as I do.....

I just discovered that there are only a few hours left to participate in "Less is More"
The requirements are

ONE LAYER
with 
SPOTS and STRIPES
I combined that with  The Play Date Cafe colors


to this card:



I used Papertrey's Super Stripes set, sentiment is Hero Arts Zig Zag Thanks (CG444) and the dots I sponged using Julie Fei-Fan Balzers TCW stencil (Mini Circle Explosion)

I am also linking this up to the 4 Crafty Chick CAS challenge.

Hi Cornelia - thanks so much for the shout out.. and welcome photo - it is adorable... I am thrilled to be your follower since I find your cards as well as your write-ups extremely entertaining.
And since you're wondering how I manage so many blogs...Crafting till the Crack of Dawn is my crafting blog, I'm a DT for 2 others and the other 2 are older ones that I no longer update... so it's just three at the moment but you are right, I am perpetually up till the crack of dawn :)

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...
