Crackerbox Stamps - Let Your Dreams take Flight

Hi Everybody! 

Since we just had July 4th I made a card with some of my older Crackerbox Stamps. Although I am not sure what we celebrated this year - the loss of freedom of half of the population? The loss of civil liberties? The unwillingness to combat climate change? Daily mass shootings - over 250 this year alone? I am dismayed by the current course of events. I could go on for a long time, but since this is about card making I will stop here.

 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.


I first stamped the flag, inking of the stars in some dark blue and the rest in a very muted dark red. Stamped the sentiment. Added the Statue of Liberty - a stencil from iStencil. I went over the stripes in the torch with white, to not have the stripes shine through too much. Brushed the body of the Liberty lady with whatever color was left on my brush (did a little bit of masking to not brush outside the figure. Took a fine liner pen and doodles the frame and doodled a bit around the Liberty Lady for more contrast.

The stamps I used:
Dreams Take Flight
American Flag Artsy

Thanks for visiting! 

Happy Stamping!

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...
