Simply Create Too Challenge #45 Vintage


Simply Create Too's challenge is vintage. That was a true challenge for me. I guess that's why I joined a design team - to expand my card making skills...... so I struggled a bit with this one. I am just not a vintage type of gal....Although I do admire people who can do that. 

I used the  Hero Arts Just saying Hi and Hero Arts Keyboard Alphabet sets. I ripped out a page of my local phone book and used a tag. The background paper is from K&C. The phone receiver handle is attached with a little ball chain -  (kind of the mini version of a toilet chain) and as you can see, it is removable.






I am totally in love with this - especially the removable receiver... :) And I am proud of my first vintagy card, although I don't think I will add this to my repertoire....

You still have a little more than six days to play in the challenge! Come on over and motivate you kids too - there is a separate kids entry!

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...
