GDT for Day of the Month Card Club

 Hi Everyone,


I again have the honor to be guest designer this month for the Day of the Month Card Club Challenge!

 The theme for August is: 
Book Lovers Day



Now who doesn't appreciate books?!
I totally love to read and I devour just about anything I can get my hands on - fiction, non-fiction, autobiographies, etc. I do  have some standards. I don't really read trashy novels. For that I consider my time to valuable. But I always have huge stacks of books on my nightstand that I am planning to read. 
But  regardless of my reading habits, I used the Katzelkraft Meerkats for this card and combined it with this lovely stack of books from Stamperia. Colored with water colors and Inktense. Added the thought bubble. Just wish I had better hand writing....


I hope I enticed you to 

Happy book lovers day!

Oh nein, diese Frage gibt es bei mir nicht und wenn, dann gibt es nur eine Antwort: LESEN! Aber den Beiden soll es erlaubt sein, mal darüber nachzudenken und ich hoffe, sie treffen die richtige Entscheidung!! Freue mich sehr, das Du uns wieder als Gastdesignerin unterstützt!!!

My answer will definitely be : to read ! What a fabulous card you've made with these two meerkats and these rainbow piles of books. It could be a really nice way to store our books in the bookcase ! Thanks so much for being such a talented Guest Designer over at DOTMCC. x

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

Some more Christmas Cards...

Hi Everyone, there still are some Christmas cards  I made awhile ago and have not yet posted.... This one I made for the  Runway Inspired Challenge . The inspiration photo is below. I found it a little tricky to make this into a Christmas card, but with the help  of Neat&Tangled stamps it worked....The stitched dies are by Simon Says. Added some Washi tape on top (the headdress) and silver glitter paper at the bottom (the floor and silver shoes) and voila a Christmas card! My second card I made with an iStencil, gold embossing paste, faux pearls, an enamel dot and lots of splatters. The stitched die I cut the Kraft panel with is by Simon Says. I love this stencil and stenciled cards are just so quick and easy to make. I used this one for several cards this year, on of which you can see HERE . http://www.istencils.com/store/products/22-00029 I am linking up this card with: Stamps and fun=Creativity - Christmas U...
