House of Cards March Challenge

Hi Everyone,

its challenge time at House of Cards! You are going to love this one, because we also have a lot of information for you on today's post as well as on follow-up posts throughout the month.



So - our theme is ENAMEL DOTS!

I am sure you all love them, but they are kind of pricey -after all they are just tiny blobs of plastic.... But the good news - you can make them yourself with little effort and little cost - I made mine. But I won't give anything away here - go and visit the blog!

There you can also see the creation from our fabulous guest designer - Lisa from LJ Creations!



You can also check out the other DT members for more inspiration~



Materials: stamps by Your Next Stamp, dot stamps by Avery Elle and Hero Arts, enamel dots

I am also linking this card with Your Next Stamp - see below
Seize the birthday - anything birthday, option masculine
Uniko Challenge - birthday
Snippets Playground - use a snippet (the strip with the sentiment on)

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...
