TAWS #45


Over at TAWS they have this amazing inspiration photo -




 I was mulling over what to make for a couple of days and finally go to finish my card:



I recently ordered a whole bunch of stamp sets - couldn't resist the discount and got this adorable castle as a freebie! TAWS has the best deals out there - they are so generous!




The sentiment is a combo from two sets - Jibber Jabber and Enchanted. I stamped it with Staz-on onto that cool gold covered paper. This paper was an amazing deal I got from Michaels - $4 for a 24 sheets of different metallic papers - it was one of their Christmas paper pads. It came in so handy for this challenge! I am such a bargain shopper....

Of course I am also linking this up with the Seize the Birthday - Anything Birthday
and the Snippets Playground - the castle is from left over card stock

This is such a fun card. I would have had trouble in using this digi castle, but you have aced it so well. It's wonderful with that scrumptious gold textured paper. Lucky you at getting such a great buy. Guarantee you, it wouldn't happen at our local Mike's. They just don't keep stocked up. Well, I did get some Christmas stamps after the holidays, but while I was away. Loved your card. TFS & Hugs

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...
