Katzelkraft - Checkmate

Hi Everyone,

I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post.

For this weeks card I wasn't that happy with my first card, so I made a second one with the same stamps, just slightly different layout and different colors. I wonder, which one of them you like better?

Did my usual masking and sponging and colored the figures with water colors.

Trimmed the side and added a strip of designer paper.

Different color scheme - stayed more in the same color family. Looking at both of them I actually can't really decide which one I like better and why I wasn't so happy with my first try....

The stamps I used are from the following sets:

Le Gambit du Roi- KTZ279, Les Quilles - KTZ233 (FRANCE)

The King's Gambit - KTZ279, Les Quilles- KTZ233 (USA)

Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Stamping!

I think they're both great, perhaps, the second color scheme makes me a bit more pleased.

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!

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

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous Peonies Dies from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment , Peo...
