Snowflake Christmas Cards

Hi Everyone,

did you all have a Merry Christmas? I hope you did. We enjoyed our Christmas. We celebrate on the 24th in the evening, as is customary in Germany. My husband cooked something delicious and the kids and I decorated the tree. Yesterday we had another delicious meal at my sister's house, getting our families together. 

But back to card making....
I want to share some Christmas cards I made a while ago:


For this one I used that 3D embossing folder from We R Memory Keepers. The snowflake is by Papertrey and the sentiment is by Neat&Tangled. I also ripped up some washi tape and put it onto the card stock, before I ran it through my big shot. Added some thin beading wire with beads and sequins


I am linking up with following challenges:


QKR Stampede Challenge #171 -  Snowmen or Snowflakes
Simon Says Wednesday challenge - Make it Sparkle

My second card is quite similar, just kind of a down-scaled version of the first.



And here is one more card from this year's Christmas production. I made a similar one, that you might remember, you can see it HERE.



Another left-over from an Advent calendar I yet have to share with you..... All used dies are by Memory Box, the sentiment is by Neat&Tangled. I spritzed the background with various inks and added some sequins.

I am linking this up with the current Memory Box challenge - Season's Greetings.

Well, sadly its still too warm here in NJ - no chance of any snow falling soon.

Happy Stamping!

Very festive. Love anything blue and white and the first two are no exception. The addition of the wire on the first is a fun touch. Glad to know washi looks so good when embossed with those 3D folders. Yowza. Love the colorful, bright and happy 3rd card. Just so much fun.
Glad your Christmas was joyous, hoping your New Year is even better.

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...
