52CCT and Christmas Stamping All Year Long

Christmas Stamping All Year Long has mini cards as a challenge this week and the prize is 7 free digis from Bugaboo stamps. Now I am definitely NOT a fan of digital stamps, but I would make an exception for Bugaboo - they are just too much fun! So I checked on this challenge and there were 3 hours left! No problem - speed is my specialty!

I had this negative die cut laying around form a previous challenge and it needed to be used, so I quickly threw this together:



The die cut is from Memory Box - Scribble Tree, the sentiment is Paper Smooches - Christmas sampler. Some enamel dots and the card is finished!

and who knows, may be I'll be the lucky one and get the luck of the draw;)

And since I used some left overs I am also going to link this card up with the Pixies Crafty Snippets Playground, what fun!

And here is something else - a new discovery of mine:

X-mas on Tuesday
I am not sure about the rules - maybe none? If I find out, I'll let you know...




--X--


Ahhh, we were supposed to pick a previous challenge for this weeks theme at 52CCT....



 

So I settled for sketch #&....and then I read, after may card was finished, that we were supposed to also combine a color with the sketch... :(

I browsed through the color choices and look, what I found - blue red and green - and do you see those golden (yellow) accents on those  ornaments? Just perfect for my colors choices  :)

So here is my card:


Perhaps it qualifies.... if not, I have a cute card to send to someone for Christmas!

Oh,ist mir gar nicht aufgefallen dass wir zwei ältere Challenges kombinieren sollten. Da hab ich mal wieder zu oberflächlich gelesen...
Zwei wunderschöne Karten hast du gebastelt, vor allem die erste, die gefällt mir besonders gut in ihrer schlichten Einfachheit!!

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...
