Go Nuts on Your Birthday

Hi Everyone,

and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!

my friend Flo nudged me to play along in the current Night Shift Stamper challenge . The theme is fall fruits. How could I say no...... in fact, it's my biggest problem. I just can't do it.  - Just discovered the link is closed, buhu.....


But I kept it CAS - the fastest way to get a card done.....
I wanted a graphic vibe. I picked an ancient Michaels 1$ stamp - the big acorn. To make it even better it was an NBUS
I heat embossed it onto black card stock. Stamped the little squirrel (Cats on Appletrees) and added the sentiment (My Favorite Things). Would have been even better if it would say bloody birthday....I added those red splatters, since I wanted some color, but it just looks like blood splatter....


Hope you like it - despite those splatters....

Happy Stamping!

Hope you don't end up like this squirrel after today 😜

Good grief...that's one very fat squirrel. Actually on the holidays I prepare so much food my appetite is nonexistent, so I eat very little. Unfortunately, there are still leftovers unless I can convince my kids to take them home. Anyway, to me, any card you make with those darling critters is fabulous...and I disagree about the spatters...I like them.

Och, leider zu spät. Donnerstags starte die neue Challenge (es waren doch 14 Tage). Dabei wäre Deine Karte mit den Stempeln von Cats on Appletrees mal was ganz anderes. Sehr schön. Ich mag ja diese Stempelsorte.

Hoffen wir, das Dein Eichhörnchen die Nüsse nicht alle auf einmal ist, sonst endet es tatsächlich wie das Eichhörnchen auf dem Foto. Cooles Kärtchen!!

Die ist auch wieder ganz toll geworden!
...normalerweise finden Einchhörnchen ihre Verstecke ja nur sehr selten wieder, deins hatte wohl ein sehr gutes Gedächtnis! ha,ha,ha

I think the red splatters add pizazz to this quirky squirrel, Cornelia ... if he eats all those acorns, he's definitely going to look like that photo! So much fun ... and so cute! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)

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...
