Stempel Spass

  Hi Everybody!  I am back with a card for  Funky Fossil Designs . I discovered that the Library challenge is active again and I wanted to play in it - the theme is  a book called "The Girl in the Polka Dress". Therefore  Little Leyla  was my go to stamp. I used the  Circle Cascade  stamp for my background and inked it up with two different greens. Stamped Leyla onto scrap paper and cut her out. I colored her with alcohol ink markers and added her with foam tape. I added Washi tape had the heat embossed sentiment (comes with Leyla). And playing on the polka dot theme I added enamel dots to the background. Supplies I used: Circle Cascade Little Leyla Monochrome Enamel dots I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting!

Hi Everybody!   I am back with my  Crackerbox Stamps  post for this week . I let myself be inspired by July 4th for this card. After all it's coming up soon. 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 stamped the American flag first. I then masked it and stamped the white firework with Versamark and heat embossed it with clear, sparkly embossing powder, which unfortunately doesn't show in the picture.... Added the dark blue fireworks and the sentiment.  The stamps I used: American Flag Artsy Fireworks set of 2 Dreams take flight (on sale right now) And perhaps you want to check out those: I hope you liked this.

 Hi Everyone, This week the theme is "anything goes" at the  Topflight blog . And there is a stencil sale still going on until the last day of the month - perfect timing! No coupon is needed.  I used an old background that I had used as splatter guard for sprays, but it looked too pretty to throw it out. I used the pretty flower stencil from Visible Image and sponged in three different distress inks colors (green, blue and purple). I shifted the stencil a bit and brushed again. Added white splatters and some Stickles to the center. The sentiment is heat embossed. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration.

 Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I discovered this cool Instagram feed, called  the.language.nerds  and their post about forgotten English words that are very relevant today.

   Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Christmas card.  I am playing along with 52CCT - the theme is "distress ink blending".   I went for  a twofer here. I used 3 different distress inks for my background, although It doesn't really come out that way but you do see it a bit lighter on top. I then sprinkled water on it. Die cut our the words and used them on card #2. Added some  more die cuts for decoration. no stamping at all - I don't do that very often.... I hope you liked this.

 Hi Everyone, This week we are featuring  AALL&Create stamps on the  Topflight blog . Janet Klein came out with a whole series of artists and I fell for Salvador Dali. I tried to recreate his famous painting "The Persistence of Memory". Unfortunately the set only has one melting clock in it.....Should have also had some tiny ants....Room for improvement!  I first created the background, using masking and brushes. I drew in the  coastline by hand. I stamped Salvador and the clock-tree onto scrap paper, colored them with alcohol ink markers and cut them out. Added them to my card.  Stamped the sentiment. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration.

   Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Christmas card.  This week I am honored to be guest designing for 52CCT - the theme is "Candy Canes".   I had this set called Candy Cane Christmas (Simon Says stamps) in my stash for quite a while and had never used it. It was waiting for this challenge, LOL! I made a simple one layer card, starting with the sentiment and then randomly stamping the candy canes around it with a bit of masking where they overlapped. I also took a Copic marker and drew along the edges of the candy canes to give then a bit dimension. Otherwise they look kind of flat.  I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. Go and play along with this fun Challenge - Christmas is not too far away! Linking up with: 52CCT  - Candy Canes I spy with my Little Eye  - anything goes

 Hi Everyone, This week the theme is "anything goes" at the  Topflight blog . I recently pulled out my Lavinia stamps and could not stop playing with them. So another Lavinia card it is!   I made the background with distress inks. I used a die cut circle for the "moon" and  brushed around it. I added a bunch of stamps to create a scene - see below. I lightly colored in the trees on the right and added white accents and some "grass" to the mushrooms. I hope you liked this.
