Stempel Spass

Hi Everybody, and yet another Christmas card. What else, at this time of the year, right?! I masked the moon and sponged around with various inks. Added the Santa and put a tiny red gem on Rudolph's nose.  Added water splatters and white ink splatters. Added  the sentiment. This is really easy to make and fairly quick.

Hi Everyone, I hope you are enjoying my Christmas card marathon.... Here i made a card with Funky Fossil Designs  new  Festive Penguins  set. I also used one of the  new stencils.  This one is called Scandi quilt . It is just perfect for the Holidays!  Here is the complete set: Festive Penguins I started out with using clear embossing paste and the stencil. After it had dried completely, I sponged distress oxide ink from top to bottom to create the ombre effect. I stamped and colored the penguin and cut it out, including those little antlers. Heat embossed the sentiment and assembled everything as you can see.  I hope you liked this. And since its Black Friday Funky fossil Designs offers you a 20% discount with code SAVE20 Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone, as you all know, Wednesday is Katzelkraft day on my blog.  As soon as I saw the elephant on the new set Les Sauvages I knew I wanted to turn him into a Dali elephant. And I am so happy I succeeded. Here is the full set  Les Sauvages   KTZ228 : I stamped and masked the elephant. Sponged the background with distress inks and created the landscape. Colored  the elephant with Inktense pencils and markers and elongated his legs. I did not want to add a sentiment. Do you like Salvador Dali as much as I do? Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration!

Hi Everybody, there are two challenges out there that I wanted to really play along - one is Less is More  with pick a triangle and the other challenge is  AAA Cards  - made in minutes.  I figured I need to combine the two. I gathered my craft supplies - an embossing folder by Alexandra Renke, a cutting plate from Neat&Tangled, my favorite reindeer from Dixie Crafts and an already made background from my stash. I also used a Sizzix triangle die and a little star die from Lil Inkers. Once I had my supplies making the card really only took a few minutes - way under 30 minutes. I even added a bit of sponged around my die cut trianglular tree. I did die cut the deer 3 times and glued it together - goes very fast, too.

Hi Everybody, I have not played in the Twofer challenge in a while, due to time constraints. But I made sure I am not missing it this time.  I wanted to use this wonderful die I recently won in an Instagram give-away by Poppy Stamps. Thank you so much Poppy Stamps - I love this little beauty! Here are closer views of my cards: This actually was the second card as I was not willing to throw out the negative die cut I got from cutting the white sprig for my first card. Thought it might look nice adding some vellum sprigs. It think it does. Added a gold thread and selective gold foiling. Also gold foiled the sentiment (Hero Arts). I just die cut the mistletoe in 3 different colors and tied them together with a red string. Added the sentiment and stars (Mama Elephant), as well as Washi tape. Added a bit of Stickles. Happy Twofing! Also linking up with: Challenge up your Life - black and white and one color (gold, first card)

Hi Everyone, you know where this is going - right! I made this for  Less is More - the theme is That's Torn.

Can't be much easier than that. Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration!

Hi Everyone, Funky Fossil Designs came out with new stencils and I wanted to show you one of the new ones, because I think it is perfect for making quick Christmas cards. By now most of us I guess are scrambling to get all those cards done....... That is the new stencil:  It is called  Into the Wild .  As you see, I used it repeatedly, sponging with grey distress oxide ink. The last row I heat embossed in white - it takes a little time for the distress oxide ink to dry, so the embossing powder sticks to the last row. I also didn't mind that it stuck little bits to the other trees, as I wanted a snow dusted appearance. Added embossed water splatters. The sentiment is from the set Festive Penguins . The die cut Santa is one of my favorites from Dixie Crafts. He makes an appearance every year! Happy Stamping!
