Galaxy Background with So Suzy Stamps

Hi Everybody,

I am playing again with my new release stamps from So Suzy Stamps. I just can't get my fingers off those wonderful new stamps...

And since Valentin's Day is coming soon, I wanted to make a suitable card. But this one is a bit different from the usual hearts and pink that you generally see. I wanted to make a galaxy background.


I used distress inks - oxides and regular ones for the card. I did get carried away and forgot to take pictures in the process.... but don't worry - there is a myriad of YouTube videos out there you can watch instead.... I also drew some planets onto my background. Once it dried thoroughly, I heat embossed the sentiment and stars.

The wonderful sentiment you can find HERE, the star swirl you can get HERE

Matted it onto turquoise paper.


You may know this already, but just in case you don't.... We have a new feature here at So Suzy's. 
Every month one of our DT members has a birthday you get on stamp with every order free.
This is Tracy's and Suzy's birthday month and THOSE are their stamps:
We also have a sale going on at this month:


Happy Stamping!

Wow! Impressive and beautiful. Love that background and those swirly stars. Even love the planets so artfully arranged. Of course, the sentiment is perfect. I really have to try galaxy backgrounds...they scare me but if you don't try you'll never know, right!

What an awesome Galaxy card you made. Really like how you did the Planets, did you use daubers for them?

The backgrounds I can do, Cornelia, but the addition of the planets takes your card to a higher level. How did you do them?

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...
