Guest Designing at Craft Stamper

Hi Everyone,

I am so delighted to be Guest Designer for the July TIMI challenge over at Craft Stamper for week two of the month long challenge.
The theme is easy - take a stamp! But is has to be the real thing, not a digi.

Took me a while to figure out what to do.....


I finally settled on that fun hippo from Katzelkraft. I thought it pairs up perfectly with the sentiment from Rubber Necker. The background I did with an ARTplorations stencil (STAMPlorations) and the wonky stitched border is the brand new Cutplorations die also from STAMPlorations.


Just imagine what else you could do with that fun stamp!

Happy Stamping and don't forget to link up at the TIMI challenge!

Talk about an encouragement card...this is it. Flying hippos conjure up all kinds of scenarios in my brain. It's just so very clever that your sentiment really says it all. And pink for the hippo is just plain perfect. That background really shows off your amazing stencilling skills, as well.

Imagination can do anything, knows no limitations. Exactly as you did with the stamp. Super fun. I love your cloud - they are clear and beautifully tangled. Congratulations the guest design. Craft Stamper has gained a lot :-)
hugs,

ACK! I love this! A hippo with wings (definitely a cousin to the hippo-sized ravens in our town!) and he's PINK! That face....toooo cute! You've created a wonderful cloudy sky for him to fly through and the sentiment is marvelously inspiring! Imagination in plentitude here, my friend!

What an absolutely inspiring card! I love the sentiment and the scene you created could not be more perfect! Your coloring and shading is exquisite and that sky is so life-like! I like the stitching detail around the edges, too. This came together beautifully and I thought it was a unique and welcome interpretation of our red, white and blue theme. Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

This made me chuckle, Corneila. A flying hippo in a fabulously inked sky and a great sentiment that ties it all together.

There is a saying ..."when pigs fly" ...but never a hippo fly! This is so cute. Thanks for joining us at Simply Create Too. Janelle (DT) :)

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...
