Stempel Spass

   Hi Everybody!  I am back with a card for  Funky Fossil Designs . Recently Funky Fossil came out with some cool steam punk sets. I am using the cat from Steampunk Pets  here. Isn't she cool? This set perfectly combines with the Engine Room paper pad. This is available as an 6x6 and 8x8 block. I stamped the cat and heat embossed it in gold. I colored it with alcohol ink markers and fuzzy cut it. I heat embossed sentiment (same set).  Supplies I used: Engine Room paper pad     Steampunk Pets   I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting!

Hi Everybody!   I am back with my  Crackerbox Stamps  post for this week . Crackerbox Stamps just had a new release with hilariously snarky sentiments. One of which I used here.  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 Helen and colored her with alcohol ink markers. I masked Helen. Then I brushed the background with distress oxide inks. Stamped the sentiment. Simple one layer card. Don't forget about the new stamp sale: And here is the card I made for the Instahop - you can still join in HERE I first sponged the card base with distress inks and then applied a stencil over it. I stamped the  Martini Lady  and added some white accents. Stamped the sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed it.  The stamps I used for both cards: card 1:  Helen with Coffee   card 1:  So When is This card 2:  Unmedic...

  Hi Everyone, This week we are featuring Visible Image stamps on the  Topflight blog .  I used an old gel print background as a base. I stamped the caterpillar onto scrap paper and colored it with alcohol ink markers. I sponged around the corners of my background. also added the silhouette butterflies to the background. Stamped the caterpillar again onto the background and added the colored cut out. Stamped the sentiment, drew a frame around it and cut it out. Added it. Also added some additional stamped splatters.

  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! For this card I used the beautiful Etched Medallion - S5356 from Hero Arts. I colored it with alcohol ink markers. I fuzzy cut the medallion.  Found a strip of matching paper. Stamped the sentiment (Stampin' up). I used foam to mount the medallion to give it some dimension. I also added Crystal Lacquer to the center - you see a little reflection in the picture below. 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 "pets".   I have not used that Katzelkraft cat ( Big Cat 09  France/ Fat Cat 9 US) in a while and figured it would be prefect for this theme. I colored it with alcohol ink markers. Drew a Santa hat on it and stamped the sentiment. Added some Christmas lights.

 Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I am a huge fan of  Karl Valentin (1842-1948) a Bavarian comedian. He said a lot of funny as well as profound things and is still well known to this date. There is a little museum in Munich dedicated to him - definitely a worthwhile visit if you visit Munich and speak German...... This card uses one of his famous sayings. I think its really impossible to translate (at least for me), but here is a meager attempt that doesn't do it justice "We wanted to want it, but we didn't dare to". He had a special kind of humor. Of course I had to choose the rats for the illustration - they are simply the best with all their varied expressions! I stamped them with a touch of masking and water colored them. the pretty Washi tape is from Funky Fossil Designs.  Cut the sentiment apart, drew a frame around it and added it to my card.  The stamp I used is from the following set: Les Rats des Villes - KTZ179  (FRANCE) ...

Hi Everyone, Today I am honored to be guest designing for the current Traumfabrik/Dream Factory challenge . It's a challenge about  movies and the inspiration will be coming from the movie the Croots. Don't worry If you don't know the movie you could watch the trailer or just make a card with animals, funny, stone age, jungle, etc. See the movie poster below. I pulled out my F unky Fossil Designs  supplies for this card. I mixed up the set  Ditsy Dinos  and  On Safari  to create my little scene. I colored with alcohol ink markers. Part of the animals I cut out, the lion and tree are stamped directly on the card and I masked them. This is the movie poster: Supplies I used: On Safari  Ditsy Dinos I hope you liked this.
