Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, I am playing with the new release stamps from  Funky Fossil Designs !  This Gamer set is just so unique and perfect for those teenage or preteen birthday cards!  Here is the complete set: I again paired it with the Retro cubes stencil . I used both together in the past on THIS card.  I sponged the stencil. After it dried completely I heat embossed the little play figures (not sure what else to call them...). I also heat embossed the sentiment with clear glitter embossing powder. Unfortunately its kind of hard to read - a little better in real life than on the picture, but still not great. Should have used a different embossing powder....Next time! There is a sale in the shop to celebrate the August bank holiday weekend (in the UK). There is 20% off everything when you use the code FUNKY20 at checkout before midnight on Monday :) There are also already discounted stamps, so the saving will be even bigger on some items.

Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post.  With this card I hope I can stimulate some of you to play along in our little Day of the Month Card Challenge , that is still ongoing until 8/31. And I have not used my favorite rats in a while....   This rat normally hold a slice of cheese, but it easily is turned into a slice of watermelon.... My stamp supplies: Les Rats des Villes-  KTZ179  (FRANCE) Les Rats des Villes  -  KTZ 179   (USA) I colored the rat with water colors. The sentiment is by Rubber Necker, but I change it a bit - the last line should read " bought it ". I trimmed the bottom and added a watermelony strip at the bottom. 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:  Topflight Stamps ,  Lost Coast Designs , or  Frantic Stamper .

Hi Everyone, It's  Topflight Stamps  day! We are featuring Paper Artsy Stamps this week and I could not resist to use those funky insects by Elena Zinski again.....I used them before and you can see that card HERE I first stenciled the  Stamperia Forest Flower .
