Paper Smooches combined with AAA cards

It's anything goes at Paper Smooches, which is just swell, since the AAA card challenge has a lot of requirements....

I had to pull out my Christmas stamps recently, so while they were out I figured I might as well use them...
I made the corrugated paper strip with a paper crimper and punched some holes in it. The cute snowmen are by Paper Smooches- Freezy Fellas and the sentiments are Paper Smooches - Christmas sampler. I stamped those on acetate - for the plastic requirement. Added some twine and attached everything with a brad.


I happen to really like this card - I first was afraid I wouldn't manage to keep things CAS, but I think I succeeded.




And here are the 5 images for the game:


AAA-Corrogated01


 I am also adding this card to the Snippets Playground - add a snippet - my snippet is the acetate - is from some clear packaging - I keep all of those flat pieces of plastic for uses such like this.....nowadays this is called upcycling - I just love that word!
And I am linking it with A Blog named Hero - color it in - colored the snowmen in parts....
and lastly I am trying out (again) for the GDT search at Paper Smooches with this card

Thanks you all for visiting and leaving such fabulous comments - I LOVE them!

Hi Cornelia, I'm late in commenting on the Playground, so please excuse and also my MIA for a while! Saw this highlighted by our Miz Pixie, and zipped over for a closer look at this cutie. Love the snowfaces peeking out of those circles, but really impressed with the way you've designed with the very dimensional corrugated paper. Totally cool design, great card! TFS & Hugs. Hope all has been well with you. I'm loving your lightbox!

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
