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!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
