Santa Fold up Card

Hi Everyone,

I was playing with my Katzelkraft stamps again. I got inspired by a card from Heike Paulus from Mrs P's Papercrafts. Her card was quite elaborate, but I made a more simpler version of it.


Mine is a mini fold up card - I basically took an A10 card and folded it into thirds.


I took the Santa stuck in the chimney form the Noel Keep Calm set and stamped it onto the top third. Masked it and sponged around. Colored the Santa etc. with Inktense pencils. the "snowflakes" are water drops.
The Santa peeking out from the chimney is from the Noel KTZ 158 set. Colored it the same way.  Lastly I  stamped the sentiment into the middle third - it is from the set English Quotes. the merry Christmas is from a different stamp company.

On the photo below you get an idea how this folds up. In order to hold it together I made a banderole out of Washi tape - you see it on the top photo.


Happy Stamping!

I've been intrigued by the Katzelkraft stamps and will someday have to try them out. This is so cute! Love the border you made to look like Santa's belt, and the fold is a great idea! Thanks so much for playing along with us in our Santa challenge at Double D!

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...
