One Layer Christmas CASE

Hi Everyone,

I am combining two Christmas challenges here. One is CASEing Christmas, where my blogging friend Rosi made a beautiful card for us to CASE - you'll see it below. And the second challenge is Shery's One Layer Christmas card challenge. Here the optional twist is use an angel. 
Now it does not look good in the angel department in my stash, but I have one, never used until now....its from Inkadinkadoo.


I did a lot of masking and some sponging. Used a pearlescent embossing powder by Sparkles and Sprinkles.  The sentiment is from STAMPlorations.


Vignette: Christmas Block
Here is Rosi's gorgeous card. 




I guess I'll start now making Christmas cards - so I won't run into problems by the time Christmas rolls around, which I guess will be about ...tomorrow....

Happy Stamping!

Fantastic card, Cornelia! Love that embossing powder you used. Great colours and design. Funny that you used the same stamp I did on my card. :-). So happy to see you playing along with us at OLCCC! Hope you play again. :-)

Steht denn schon wieder Weihnachten vor der Tür??? Eigentlich möchte ich erst mal so richtig schön warm Sommer haben.
Aber es ist schon richtig: man kann gar nicht früh genug anfangen, vor allem, wenn man so schöne Karten macht wie du!!!
Liebe Grüße,
Flo

Stunning. That ne angel has served you well. She's gorgeous embossed but to layer with red (or is that pink) ink is brilliant.

Cornelia, your card is STUNNING! You glowing angel, the red flourishes, the blue surroundings, the sentiment = perfection. Indeed, I think this could be your Christmas go-to card should you need to mass produce (although I suspect that you, as I am, aren't fond of making multiples of the same thing). Love it...

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...

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

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the...
