Katzelkraft - Christmas: Take it Easy

Hi Everyone, as you all know, Wednesday is Katzelkraft day on my blog.  And I really have to make more Christmas cards, believe it or not. So I pulled out my favorite angel from the  Sherlock Holmes   set - the exhausted little guy - remember him from last year? You think he should have recovered in the meantime, but I guess not... Sherlock Holmes KTZ211 I used an ombre colored background and stamped the angel on it. Colored him with water brush pens and Stabilo markers. Added the sentiment . Can't be much easier than that. The sentiments says:  Christmas: take it easy relax eat, drink and be happy without inhibitions and keep smiling Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration!

Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps - Cool Yule

Hi Everybody, we are getting closer to that wonderful time of the year where we are all sending out tons of cards....you know which time I am talking about - yes - Christmas!!!! You better start thinking about it - only a few more weeks....that's right! Here is an easy one. I took the cool deer stamp  and colored with with water brush pens. Cut it out. I took grey background paper and the cool Yule stamp  and stamped it repeatedly with Versamark and heat embossed it in clear. Added white gel pen accents. I distressed the paper a bit with distress ink in grey and added generous white splatters. Added the deer. Happy Stamping! And here is our current promotion: Linking up with:

Funky Fossil - Elegant Tree

Hi Everyone, I made yet another Christmas card with my Funky Fossil supplies. I used the  Elegant Tree stencil  with gold embossing paste. When the paste was partially dried, I pressed the pearls into it. I guess you could also wait until its dry completely, but I think they are a bit better anchored, if you can press them in. Once it was completely dry I trimmed the Kraft card and added Washi tape at the bottom. This would be super easy to mass produce. I might just do this, in case I don't fulfill my quota of Christmas cards..... You don't even need a single stamp here.... Happy Stenciling Everyone!

No way, as you can see, she is just turning around the corner. As so often I colored my images with Inktense a Stabilo markers.  Here you see the card in all its glory, snicker...

Funky Fossil New Release Preview 2

Hi Everyone, Funky Fossil has a  new stamp release  coming out  on the 19th  and you will love it!  Here is a little preview of the good things to come:     Plant a Garden                            Sew Lovely For my first card I used the set "Plant a Garden". I stamped the flowers in two different shades of green and added a bit of color for the blossoms. Colored a strip of scrap paper and stamped the sentiment on it. Could not resist to add the cute little snail. For my second card I used the "Sew Lovely" set. I truly is lovely. I put the sentiment in my Misti and stamped it repeatedly over the entire length of the card with Versamark and heat embossed it. I used a stitched die (Cutplorations) to add some subtle stitching to the borders. Sponged over it in blue. I colored the thread spools and cut them out. Added them to my card with foam tape. Happy Stamping!
