Guest Designing for 52CCT - Candy Canes

   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!

Cornelia... thrilled that you decided to join us as our guestie this month at Christmas Card Throwdown! So love your candy canes. Such a simple idea to randomly stamp one candy cane on a card but such a lovely effect. I love how you varied the reds for depth... great card!

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

Some more Christmas Cards...

Hi Everyone, there still are some Christmas cards  I made awhile ago and have not yet posted.... This one I made for the  Runway Inspired Challenge . The inspiration photo is below. I found it a little tricky to make this into a Christmas card, but with the help  of Neat&Tangled stamps it worked....The stitched dies are by Simon Says. Added some Washi tape on top (the headdress) and silver glitter paper at the bottom (the floor and silver shoes) and voila a Christmas card! My second card I made with an iStencil, gold embossing paste, faux pearls, an enamel dot and lots of splatters. The stitched die I cut the Kraft panel with is by Simon Says. I love this stencil and stenciled cards are just so quick and easy to make. I used this one for several cards this year, on of which you can see HERE . http://www.istencils.com/store/products/22-00029 I am linking up this card with: Stamps and fun=Creativity - Christmas U...
