Stempel Spass

   Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I am having fun with the new elephants. This one is Napoleon, as you can easily recognize. He is boss, isn't he? Although it doesn't look like he really has a handle on things. The duck doesn't look she understands, the rat can't be trusted and the little mouse? I think she has other ideas...... I did my usual stamping and masking and colored with water brush pens and watercolors. Although I cut out the hat after I stamped it  and added it. Same for the duck. Doodles a frame around the scene and added the sentiment (Picket Fence Studios) The stamps I used are from the following sets: Farm Animals  - KTZ208,   Napoleon Elephant  - KTZ268, Chats de Russes - KTZ152, Rats des Villes - KTZ 179  ( FRANCE) Farm Animals  - KTZ208,  Napoleon Elephant  - KTZ268,  Cats  - KTZ152,  City Rats  - KTZ 179   (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting!

       Hi Everybody, Some of the products I have used have been provided to me from various companies I design for. Affiliate links may be used in the links provided below.  You may have seen the fabulous  new release  that  Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps  recently came out with, to celebrate their anniversary. Those stamps I used here are from the new release. Except the bubbles , which is an old favorite of mine, as they are so versatile! I used a triangular stencil (Stamplorations) for my background and sponged with distress inks. Stamped the cocktail glass over it and treated it with bleach. You could also stamp it first and mask it. Colored with Inktense and markers. Stamped the sentiment. Trimmed the card and added a strip of patterned paper on the side. Added the dot splatters and some Stickles.      I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Addicted to Stamps and More  - birthday (Happy birthday to you!)

Hi Everyone, I have the honor to be guest designing for the current AAA challenge . It's a sketch with an optional twist of critters. Of course I had to add some critters! I love all my little critter stamps! For this card I used a brand new set from the new release from Picket Fence Studio. Don't ask me why I buy stamps. Clearly I have more than I possibly can ever use....I just couldn't say no to those cuties... So here you see the sketch. I followed it closely. I am sure you will have fun with it! I did, for sure! See you at the AAA challenge !

     Hi Everyone, It's  Topflight Stamps   day!  This week we are featuring stamps by Stamperia. Stamperia makes vintage stamp motifs using red rubber - for sure the best stamping material.  Now vintage is not really my thing, so I struggled a bit...... I decided to make a bookmark with this book pile stamp. I really liked that one. And I could use another bookmark anyhow. I rummaged through my stash of paper pads and found one I thought was suited as background. Stamped on it and colored with Copics. The stamp set did not come with a sentiment, so I went with this one by Visible Image Stamps. In the end i could not resist to put on the little sassy mouse from Katzelkraft, since I thought the bookmark was a bit lopsided. Used some slimline dies to cut out my bookmark. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration.

I could not resist to make another card with it. this time it features Watson the elephant. I stamped the frame and did some minimal coloring with Copics. I stamped the elephant and cut it out. Also cut out the inside of the frame. I don't think I will ever do that again....Added dark blue paper as background and assembled the card.  The stamp I used are from the following sets: Doodle Frames  - KTZ264,  Watson the Elephant - KTZ267  ( FRANCE) Doodle Frames  - KTZ264,  Watson the Elephant  - KTZ267   (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting!

Hi Everyone, for once there is a card not made for a DT. I made this card for my blogging friend Daniela from Stempelschublade ( stempeldani on Instagram) as thank you for those cute little Cats on Appletrees stamps and a whole lot of Marzipan she sent over the Atlantic! And since she got this card I can show it now here.  I masked off a background square and sponged with distress inks. Stamped the animals and greenery (Katzelkraft) Added the sentiment (die by Penny Black). To keep the eyes and racoon white I treated it with bleach (easier than masking). Hope you liked this and thanks for visiting!
