Katzelkraft Calendar

Katzelkraft Calendar - August

Hi Everyone,

I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post.

I am having so much fun with my Katzelkraft calendar. I am sure you can tell....

August is dedicated to summer and not only humans like to eat water melon, but the rats and insects love it, too!

Now this big snake sneaked in somehow. It's not from Katzelkraft, but it is an old stamp by Hein Design. Unfortunately no longer produced. I wonder why. Such a great stamp - it actually comes in 3 pieces, the head, tail, a curved piece and a straight one. I did not use the straight one here. Anyhow with that you can make it any size and go in any direction. Pretty clever, right? The ants are by Cats on Appletrees.

I started with the water melon, which I drew and colored with water colors. Cut it out. Sponged the background. I stamped the snake and rats, colored them with Copics and cut them out. The insect is stamped directly onto the background. Added the ants. Added white highlights.

The stamps I used are from the following sets:

Les Rats des Villes - KTZ179, Les Nounounes - KTZ234 (FRANCE)

Katzelkraft City Rats - KTZ179, Bugs and Insects -KTZ234 (USA)

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

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Stamping!

Echt?? So einen coolen Stempel hatte Herr Hein mal kreiert??!! Genial. Schreib ihm doch mal, er hat schon öfters mal alte Stempel wieder ins Programm aufgenommen. Oder er greift den Gedanken auf, ähnliche Stempel zu produzieren.
Jedenfalls habe auch ich wieder mega Spaß an Deinem Kalenderblatt. Die Melone ist Dir super gelungen und die Tierchen passen perfekt dazu. LG Gundi

Siehst Du: selbst die Tiere mögen im heißen Sommer Melone, auch solche, von denen man es nicht erwartet.
Das Kalenderblatt ist toll!!!

So unfassbar tolle knallige Farben, die schreien regelrecht Sommer! Da hat man ja fast selbst den Geschmack der Melone auf der Zunge. Vielen vielen Dank, dass Du sie mit den Nachteulen teilst! Hammer...

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...

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

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!

Or you can see the...
