Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, I like to play in challenges that have interesting themes. Besides that, I really need to get into Christmas card making... Lost Coast Designs  with its theme East meets West spoke to me. So I pulled out this ancient die cut from Paper Smooches and sponged a background. Added some stamps form another Paper Smooches set. Hope you liked this. Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Lost Coast Designs - East meets West Watercooler Wednesday - occasions   

Hi Everyone, I am still having a lot of fun playing with the  new release from  Funky Fossil Designs ! The dogs are from the set  Furry Friends  and the bee and flower are from the set  Bees Knees , both designed by Donna Gray. I am sure you all know her from being on the DT for Craft Stamper Magazine and she has designed for various stamp companies in the past. And I am soooo happy she now designs for Funky Fossil Designs, as I am a huge fan of her whimsical stamps. You may want to  follow her on Instagram  - such a treat! Those are the two sets I used:        Furry Friends ,  Bees Knees I masked a bit and stamped. Colored with Inktense and markers.  Added the sentiment. Trimmed the card and added some strips of patterned paper. Super easy to make. Happy Stamping!  Linking up with: Perfectly CAS - animals Challenge up your Life - animals Cute Card Thursday - stripes Allsorts challenge - magical words

Hi Everyone, I have the honor to be guest designing for the  current Male Room challenge , where the theme is "Landscape" in a male version! Thank you so much Male Room for having me! I had this landscape die (Altenew) in my stash - an NBUS, that I thought is perfect for this challenge. I took a paint chip to get the perfect color graduation, although for the middle color I had to take a different paper from my stash. The sentiment is an old one by STAMPlorations. So curious how you will interpret this theme! See you at The Male Room ! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge - anything goes

Hi Everyone, temporarily I switched to Tuesday for my Katzelkraft postings. And since it's the Coffee Lovers Blog hop right now I thought I make a coffee themed card. I finally can play with those  wonderful owls - one of the latest Katzelkraft sets. And as usual those animals have quite the personality! Les Chouchettes  -  KTZ237 , Five O'Clock   - KTZ199 , Mugs  -  KTZ201   (FRANCE) Owls  -  KTZ237 ,   Five O'Clock - KTZ199,     Coffee and Tea to go  -  KTZ201  (USA) Stamped the owl. Did a little bit of masking. Stamped the coffee cup. Colored with markers and Inktense. Added the sentiment. Then I thought it looked a bit bare and added the stencil ( Funky Fossil Designs ) and sponged around the outside of the card. 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:  Top

Hi Everyone, I finally got myself to make a Christmas card - I hardly made any this year. Usually I already have a little stack by now.... I am playing a long with 52CCT - the theme is embossing. I used a cutting plate from Neat&Tangled for my embossing and my favorite characters from Dixi Craft. I used shimmer card stock - I think it shows in the photo. Added the sentiment and two green gems for a bit of bling and sparkle. Happy embossing everyone!
