Katzelkraft - Time To Make Merry

Hi Everyone,

as you all know, Wednesday is Katzelkraft day on my blog. 
For today's post I got inspired by the current 52CCT challenge - the theme is under the Sea.


And as I am terribly behind in Christmas card making I thought I take advantage of that.

I stamped the Santa hat, masked it and then stamped the fish and masked it. Made the background with distress oxide inks and a stencil. The light chain is from the set Noel sleigh. I used bleach to get the stripes lighter. The sentiment is by Ellen Hutson.

So cute and clever to put the Santa hat on that fish. I love this idea.

That fantastically colored fish looks so pleased to be wearing that Santa hat...not! Despite that, the card is simply brilliant. Love the sun rays in your beautifully blended sea. The sentiment tied in with the string of lights is perfect for adding a festive note.

The Santa fish doesn't exactly look merry. I hope that changes soon. I like your take on our theme Under the Sea. Thanks for playing along with us at 52CCT.

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!

Or you can see the...
