Crackerbox Stamps - Peony Birthday

Hi Everybody!   I am back with my  Crackerbox Stamps  post for this week .  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 first stamped the   Peony  twice with a bit of masking at the edge of the card.  Colored them loosely with water brush pens. Fuzzy cut along the margin. Choose colored card stockfor the  background   - a lot of options here, but I settled for green. Added the   sentiment  to the bottom of the colored card stock. Assembled my card and added a few dew drops. The stamps I used: Peony Happy Birthday Fancy And perhaps you want to check out those: I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping!

Topflight Stamps - Life is Good with Katzelkraft

 Hi Everyone, This week it's all about Katzelkraft on the  Topflight blog .    No complaints from me, LOL! It's one of my favorite stamp companies. Those stamps are ALWAYS good! They never go old and are just so much fun to play with! I have used them over and over again. Can't say that for many stamp companies.....Overall a great investment when it comes to stamps. I combined a couple of sets here. I started out with stamping the frog  and then lightly penciled in an oval where I wanted to flies to go. I drew in the strings. Then I decided to add the bigger flies. the coloring I did with alcohol ink markers. Added the sentiments with foam tape. The stamps I used are from the following sets: Frogs  - KTZ235,    Flamingoes and Friends  - KTZ224, Bugs and Insects , Celebrate Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting!

Katzelkraft - Foliage

  Hi Everyone, Today I have a bit of a different Katzelkraft card for you. I used the new plant set Foliage. It somehow turned into a sad card - possibly  a sympathy card. With different colors it may look more cheerful.... I used an ancient stencil for the windows and brushed with distress inks. Stamped the plants into the windows - and did a bit of masking to assure the plants stay within their window.....I added some milky dew drops from my stash. The pretty sentiment is from the set Enjoy Quotes. The stamps I used are from the following sets: Foliage   -  KTZ310,  Enjoy Quotes  - KTZ291 (FRANCE) Foliage  - KTZ310,  Enjoy Quotes  - KTZ291   (USA Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.
