Keep Calm

Hi Everyone,

I am in full blown Christmas card mood.......
and here is a very quick CAS card with that funky Katzelkraft stamp Big Cat #9 that fits just about any occasion....


I intentionally left the background white (and its quicker that way anyhow). I colored the cat with Inktense pencils and gave it a hat (Tim Holtz) - did some masking for that. The sentiment is also from Katzelkraft, its from the Keep Calm Set.


Rubber stamp Les gros chats 09 - French styleNoël Keep calm - Rubber stamp - French Style
 I used Stickles on the hat brim.



Are you going to make some Holiday cards this weekend?

Happy Stamping!

There's that cat again...looking like he had too much cheer the night before. But he's so festive with his vivid hat and eyes. The more I see of him, the more I love him.

Diese Katzen sprechen einfach für sich!!!
Diese hier schaut sooo witzig um die Ecke, dass jedem, die diese Karte sieht, der Tag gerettet ist, egal wie doof er angefangen hat.
Und die Nikolausmütze sieht aus, als wäre sie genau für dieses Tier geschaffen.
Klasse!!!
Liebe Sonntagsgrüße

What a fun CAS design Cornelia! I love how you added the hat - such a great way to stretch stamps.

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

Some more Christmas Cards...

Hi Everyone, there still are some Christmas cards  I made awhile ago and have not yet posted.... This one I made for the  Runway Inspired Challenge . The inspiration photo is below. I found it a little tricky to make this into a Christmas card, but with the help  of Neat&Tangled stamps it worked....The stitched dies are by Simon Says. Added some Washi tape on top (the headdress) and silver glitter paper at the bottom (the floor and silver shoes) and voila a Christmas card! My second card I made with an iStencil, gold embossing paste, faux pearls, an enamel dot and lots of splatters. The stitched die I cut the Kraft panel with is by Simon Says. I love this stencil and stenciled cards are just so quick and easy to make. I used this one for several cards this year, on of which you can see HERE . http://www.istencils.com/store/products/22-00029 I am linking up this card with: Stamps and fun=Creativity - Christmas U...
