Pink and Purple Christmas

Hi Everyone,

now since I am not on so many DT's anymore I actually have time to play in challenges! Need more Christmas cards. 52 CCT has an  old technique for us - I had done it in the past but didn't know it has a name. It's called Josephs Coat.


I used a background stamp from Simon Says Stamps, the sentiment is Hero Arts and the die cuts are by Alexandra Renke.


And here is the winner of my little Christmas give away that I had on my blog recently:


 Big congratulations Rosi - your elf is on its merry way!

52 CCT - Joseph's Coat technique
Addicted to CAS - pink and purple
Simon Says Monday challenge - something clear (clear embossed those little trees)

This is so creative...love the non-traditional colors and those downright, adorable diecuts.
Your card is so well designed. I have not done Joseph's Coat in ages. Thanks for the reminder.

Mega schön!!!! Ich habe mich mit der Technik total schwer getan, erst Versuch Nr.3 war einigermaßen brauchbar, obwohl ich alles nach Anleitung gemacht habe.
Naja, was soll's, man mus ja nicht alles können.

A beautiful smart and stylish card. The purple is unusual but gives a fabulous look for this technique. Thanks for joining in at 52CCT

I had forgotten about that technique too, Cornelia. It worked beautifully to let that pink and purple shine in your unconventional but so YOU Christmas card. Thanks for sharing it with us at Addicted to CAS.

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...
