A Holiday Card for 4 Challenges


Cuttlebug Mania's challenge is anything goes with embossing, whereas Jingle Bells has "tic tac toe" this week. I went with the top row - snowman, glitter and embossing. 




The stamps are from Rubber soul. I fuzzy cut the snowman and propped up the different layers with foam tape to make it 3-D. The nose is paper-pieced. The embossing folder is from Cuttlebug. I smeard some Stickles on top of the snowflakes to add the glitter.




Addicted to CAS has a Holiday theme and I am submitting this card to that challenge as well. And Dynamic Duos has black and light aqua with optional embossing - I hope they can forgive me the orange nose.....
Simon Says has MONOCHROMATIC as a theme ans yes, there is that orange nose , but one of their DT members also featured snowmen with orange noses, so I guess I'll get by....





Are you ready for more Canada pictures? The first seven pics are taken along the Icefield Parkway. We did a short hike to the Parker Ridge trail and you see my son on top of it there. It was quite cold and windy up there. Luckily previous visitors had erected a little wind shelter, which we enjoyed.

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...
