Stempel Spass

  Hi Everyone, This week we are focusing on Crafty Individuals stamps on the  Topflight blog .  I am already in Halloween mood.....  I first stamped the raven, then the crow on top of it, but only inked up the cross. I used a stamp positioner to get it right. Lastly I stamped the moon. Did a bit of masking the crow, to not get some yellow into it, when I brushed the moon. I brushed the background (also masked the head of the raven). I colored the crow and raven with Prismacolor pencils.  Added white accents and white splatters.   I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration. And here are the stamp supplies I used:  Gothic Crow , The Raven Versafine Clair , Lavinia Moon And don' t forget about the Darkroom Door challenge. To enter the just create a project using at least one Darkroom Door product. Post it to the Topflight Stamps Design Gallery on Facebook and/or post it on your Instagram feed and use the hashtag #TFSDDC .

Hi Everyone, I am playing along with  Woodblock Wednesday  from Amy Tsuruta. It's such a good excuse to play with my favorite, neglected wood stamps! This stamp is actually a relatively new addition to my woodblock stamp collection. It is from Northwoods Stamps and is called Maddox Mason Jar Jacks. I used black card stock as background. I sponged part of it in white and a bit of yellow. I stamped the  mason jars onto scrap paper and colored them with alcohol ink markers. I fuzzy cut the jars and added them.  Stamped and heat embossed the sentiment (Hero Arts).  Hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping!

  Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Christmas card.  I am playing along with  52CCT  - the theme is use a stencil. I combined with with  Just Add Ink , which has a beautiful mood board for our inspiration - see below. I started with a light green card base and used the stencil Festive Words  to add more interest to my background. I die cut two of the Tree Silhouette tree dies with white and green card stock and glued them together with a bit of off-set, to mimic some snow. Stamped the deer form the set Winter Wonderland (sadly no longer in the store). I trimmed the side and added a strip of paper ( Neutrals paper pad ). I also added a brad and some thread. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Linking up with: 52CCT  - stencil Just Add Ink  - see mood board below Simon Says Monday challenge  - Christmas

  Hi Everyone, This week it's anything goes on the  Topflight blog .  I used the old, but still cute set  Bugs 2  from Craft Emotions for my card.  I first made my background using Brushos. I used a bit of water and dissolved the Brushos first to just use them as watercolor.  Let it dry. I stamped the dandelion and bugs with Versamark and colored them with water brush markers.  Added some white accents. I dabbed white ink around the dandelion with my finger. Added some Stickles to the dandelion and dragonfly wings.  Stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and added it.  I hope you liked this.

Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I wanted to play along with  Tag along with Isa  over on Facebook - see graphic below. I went with the square card, all the colors from the photo and the letters M for mushroom, N for Nature, S for Schwein (pig) and E for Ente (duck). You had to choose 3 letters from the word AUTOMNE or if you speak a second language you can use the word in your language, which is HERBST. As far as I know mix and match is allowed. Now all those requirements give me anxiety, but I was determined to get over that, LOL! And I managed......  I started with brushing the background. No need to be perfect here, as there are a lot of things going on anyhow. I stamped all the mushrooms, the pig and the duck and cut them on my Scan'N Cut. I then colored them with alcohol ink markers. Stamped the background stuff and then added my colored items.                          The stamps I used are from the following sets: Mushpignons - KTZ277,  Whimsy Mushroom

  Hi Everyone, I am playing along with the  Day of the Month Card Club  - the theme is dots. Now I do have plenty of dotty stamps, stencils and dies, but I wanted to go a different route. So I used punches and patterned paper to create those spiders. The googly eyes add another set of dots...I go inspired for those spider by Maile Belles from Simply Stamped. For the legs I used a Stampin' up spider, but the body was not big enough, so I masked of half of the spider with Scotch tape and stamped it three times. Then I masked off the other side and used a stamp positioned to get the legs into the right spot.  Glued the spider bodies over the stamped body and added the spider heads with foam tape. Added the googly eyes. Stamped the sentiment and added a thin strip of Washi tape.
