Monsters for Paper Players and New Member Greeting

Some time ahs passed and I have gotten two new members - time to greet them officially on my blog:

Welcome
Sarah Grey from Funky Fossils Designs (fabulous blog - check it out if you don't know it yet!)
and Nancy - 

for whom I unfortunately could not find a link...but I will happily add one, if you let me know!

As customary my ladies, you'll get a welcome picture - fitting my card somewhat:
I hope you like it.


I mostly stick with art and in a way this is as well - it is a sculpture made out of food cans - I photographed it a few years back at one of the CANstraction events that are held every year in NYC (and in many other cities) before Thanksgiving. The sculptures are afterwards donated to local food pantries and distributed to the needy.

I have not played for ages with The Paper Players  - but this weeks sketch is just too much fun!

A while ago I discovered a new stamp company - they are called Flonz and are from Australia. They have a lot of fabulous stamps and their shipping is unbelievable cheap - long story short I could not resist and ordered some stamps, which ever since have been laying around begging to be used. Today is their debut....


Those monsters were just too cute and I had to have them. The sentiment is from Recollections stamps - heat embossed in white. The squares I cut with a die from Papertrey.





Thanks for visiting me today - enjoy your day!

Die Krake ist ja hammer stark, irre was man so alles aus den verschiedensten Sachen machen kann. Und das ein guter Zweck dahinter steht, doppelter Genuss!!
Aber auch Deine Karte ist wieder ein Genuss für Augen und Schmunzelzentrum!!
Grüßle Gundi

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...
