Just Go For It with Katzelkraft

Hi Everyone,

as you all know, Wednesday is Katzelkraft day on my blog. I clearly did get inspired by the Library Challenge (see picture below) for this card. I basically "recreated" the cover....



My stamp supplies:



I made the background first with a MFT stencil on black paper. I sponged white gesso over the stencil and then added distress oxide inks once it was dry. I stamped the cat and used Inktense pencils for coloring. I die cut the window frame with MFT Dienamics dies. I used an Exacto knife to cut the paws and slid the frame under the paws. Stamped the sentiment and used Inktense pencils to match up my window color. Added a thin strip of glitter paper.


If you feel the urge to buy any Katzelkraft products, you can also order them in the US from those companies: Lost Coast DesignsTopflight Stamps or Frantic Stamper 

Happy Stamping!

Good grief. You really have recreated that book cover. How come I never thought of stenciling over black cardstock...I'm such a dunce because it looks awesome. And I see you're using your favorite, beautifully colored, puss. (Actually, I'm still giggling over the "Show Us Your Pussies" challenge, too.)

Hmm. Gesso through the stencil. That's something I'll have to try, Cornelia. It looks wonderful colored with DI.

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

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
