Katzelkraft - The Rats are Escaping!

Hi Everyone,

it's Katzelkraft Wednesday!


I went to a craft fair on Saturday and there I saw a cool stencil from Colorful Life Designs that unfortunately was to big for an A2 card. But it got me the idea for this card. I made my own NYC sewer manhole cover and what better than having the rats come out of it?

Les Rats des Villes

I made the manhole cover with a Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder and circle die cuts.
The NYC sewer I printed on my computer. The sentiment is by Technique Tuesday.


Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration!

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

Happy Stamping!

Obwohl diese Ratten fürchterlich aussehen, sind Deine Rattenkarten immer lustig und erfreuen das Auge.

I so love les Rats but I have to admit that this idea makes my skin crawl, lol. When I had a shop, my friend and I were in one hot day, with the door open, when suddenly I saw what I thought was a cat walk in through the door - it wasn't, it was a RAT! A huge rat that looked like a tabby cat! My brave friend shooed it out of the door with a brush and then put a notice on the door saying, 'No rats allowed!' I still shudder when I remember that day :-(
Great design and beautifully done, as ever!

Is it me or does putting sewer rats on a card make you a genius. And that manhole cover is the perfect backdrop for this vermin.

Disturbing and fun at the same time, Cornelia. You know I love your Katzelkraft creations but this one takes top prize.

This is fantastic. Thank you for entering Archiscraps and yes it qualifies!
We were in NY last year and saw exactly that! A rat coming up out of a drain. It creeped me out!

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.

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! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
