Masculine Christmas Card

  Hi Everyone,

I am playing along with the masculine challenge provided by 52 CCT. I had no idea there is such a thing as a masculine Christmas card......Got me thinking.....

 So I figured blue is masculine enough and Christmas Craft Creations has as theme blue and silver - so that's how I arrived at my colors. I used an Impression Obsession background and used my favorite shifty reindeer die as adornment. Agonized over the sentiment and in the end decided its good enough without one. Added some silver thread and silver Washi tape at the bottom.
I heat embossed the reindeer twice with silver embossing powder to get good thick coating.


I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 
Happy Stamping!

I love the sneaky reindeer and trees against the dark blue! It is a GREAT masculine card and it caught my eye right away in the gallery! I also think that sometimes a card is better off without a sentiment if the scene is complete without one! Thank you for sharing it with us at Christmas Craft Creations!

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

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...
