Eyelet Birthday Card

Hi, Crafting Friends

I needed a card for my daughters birthday, so what is better than combining a color challenge with something else?
That something else is the eyelet challenge over at Retro Rubber where my friend Susanne is GDT! Of course I had to play!!!!! I used the colors from this weeks Color Throwdown.


The numbers are dangling from gold threads- threaded through eyelets. The birthday die is Papertrey, as are the numbers. The happy is Paper Smooches - Sentiment sampler - my very first Paper Smooches set I bought several years ago....


We had one warm day today - 46 degrees, tomorrow night the predicted low is 1 degree - isn't that crazy???

Happy Stamping!

A fab card, sure your daughter will love it.
Glad we are not alone in the weird temp stakes.After a few days of almost double digits (9'C) we are back into negativity and ice!
Keep safe. :)

Ich denke, da wird sich deine Tochter freuen, eine sooooo schöne Karte zu bekommen.
Noch hebe ich alle gebastelten Karten auf, die ich bekomme/bekommen habe. Mal sehen, was ich damit mache, wenn es zu viele werden.
Da es heute bei uns schneit, kann es bei euch nur wärmer werden.
Liebe Grüße,
Flo

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...
