Crackerbox & So Suzy Stamps - Chrysanthemum Birthday Wishes

Hi Everybody,
It's Crackerbox & So Suzy Stamps anniversary month and that is a good reason to celebrate. And you know what that means, right? Generous discounts, a possibility to win and FREE SHIPPING! All the details are listed below.


My Crackerbox & So Suzy Stamps:


I recently learned a new technique - the idea is from Hein Design and thought I share that with you here.


You take some dark card stock and mask it with Post it tape or whatever you have at hand. Take some acrylic paints and a small sponge and sponge the paint in alternating stripes onto the card stock.


Make sure the stripes overlap.


Remove the tape and wait for the paint to dry. It doesn't take long.


Use white acrylic pain, dab it onto your stamps of choice and stamp. Make sure to clean off the stamps right way with a toothbrush and water, to not have the paint dry on your stamps.

I liked it so much, I made a second card using different colors.



And here are the good news:

- Free flower stamp over a $50.00 order (after discounts)
--Free shipping over $45.00 US, $65.00 International
--Every order gets put in a drawing for a Reg. MISTI, or a Mini MISTI, or a $50.00 gift cert. at the end of the month. There will be 3 winners.
--BoBunny paper, buy 1 get 1 free
--Different stamps will be on sale at random for 50% off until they last.
--Everything on web site is 20% OFF

Zwei mega schöne Karte, auch wenn mir die Farbkombi der ersten Karte total gut gefällt, ist die Zweite doch eher mein Favorit. Irgendwie leuchtet das Blau so schön!

WOW! These folks are incredibly generous. Already put your technique on my todo list. Love the look of those flowers over the stripes. Lots of texture and interest.

Oh, das ist aber eine tolle Technik! Super schön diese Karten - die blaue gefällt mir gleich noch besser als die graue...

What a cool technique, Cornelia ... the bright stripes are fabulous against the dark cardstock ... and those white positively glow against them! 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...
