Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I am playing along with the current Dream Factory/Traumfabrik challenge . They have the cutest movie poster as inspiration (see below) and I figured I should recreate it with Katzelkraft stamps! I had the background in my stash - some leftover water color page, where I was trying to not throw away ink.....I guess it was waiting for that occasion, LOL! I then stamped the cat, mouse and umbrella top on scrap paper. Colored with alcohol ink markers and cut them out. I stamped the rain drops onto the card base.  I stamped the cat, mouse and umbrella on the card and glued the cut out over the stamped outlines.  I heat embossed the sentiment and added it. Drew in some light shadows for the cat. The stamps I used are from the following set: Big Cat 03 - SOLO074,  Cat Stamps  - KTZ152,  Accessories  - KTZ156, Waterwall -  KTZ146    ( FRANCE) Fat Cat 03  - SOLO074,  Cat Stamps  - KTZ152,  Accessories  - KTZ156,  Waterwall  -  KTZ146   (US

 Hi Everyone, This week we are featuring Katzelkraft stamps at the  Topflight blog . I am sure you all know that love their stamps and by now have a large collection of them.  I started with stamping the frames. I masked the frames and stamped the animals inside, using a stamp positioner. I colored them with water colors. I doodled the hangers. Added some shadows to the frames to make them more dimensional. Heat embossed the sentiment and added it with foam tape. 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:  All Mad Here -  KTZ298,  Grunge Frames  -  KTZ265   Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276,  Watercolor Brush set

    Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I had to pull out that chess set again - It just is so much fun to play with! I decided to add that frightened dog to my board. Looks like he just lost his game.... I first stamped the chess pieces on scrap paper. Did a bit of coloring and cut them out.  I stamped the chess board and did some light sponging. Stamped the dog and colored him with water brush pens.  I then added the chess pieces to the board. I stamped the sentiment, doodled a frame around it and cut it out and added it. Drew in some light shadows for the chess pieces and the dog. The stamps I used are from the following set: Le Gambit du Roi - KTZ279,  Dog Stamps  - KTZ296,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276    ( FRANCE)  The King's Gambit  - KTZ279,  You are Purrfect  - KTZ296,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276   (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting!

 Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post.  I mam using another one of my gel press backgrounds. I really like how that one turned out. I stamped the dog directly onto the card. I stamped it again onto scrap paper and colored it with alcohol ink markers. Cut it out. Did a little bit of sponging around the edges. Added the critter to my card. Stamped the sentiment, doodled a frame around it and added it together with the dog. Trimmed the card and mounted it onto a white card base.

  Hi Everybody!  I am here with my  Crackerbox Stamps  post.  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.   Time to ink up the Minions again - at least one of them. I just love them, those silly little creatures! I used a blue cardstock as background. I used the banana stencil from Funky Fossil Designs. I inked it up with yellow distress oxide ink, but I didn't get the coverage I wanted, so I heat embossed the bananas with yellow embossing powder. Added shome shading with a Copic marker. I then die cut the scalloped rectangle and stamped the sentiment and the minion. The extra bananas I stamped on scrap paper. I colored with alcohol ink markers. Cut out the bananas and assembled everything. The stamps I used:  Carl being happy Go Bananas Banana Bunch Banana single I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone, here is my weekly Christmas cards. I am very determined, to make enough card throughout the year to minimize the Christmas stress....... I am again playing along with 52CCT - it's a color challenge this time.  The only color allowed is white. Now for me that is incredibly difficult, after all I thrive with color.... - hoping the next one will be rainbow, LOL! I used a.. die cuts here. the sentiment is from STAMPlorations, the trees are Tim Holtz and the Santa is from Dixi Crafts. He is old by now, but needs to be used every year - this year I got him early! I dry embossed the background to not have a completely boring card.  I doubled up the sentiment and triple die cut the Santa to add some dimension. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Linking up with: 52CCT  - color white Peace on Earth - anything Christmas Can you Handle the Pressure -   anything dry embossed The Holly and Ivy Christmas challenge   - anything Christmas Jingle Belles  - embossing Merry Lit
