52CCT Sketch Challenge

     Hi Everyone, I am again playing along with  52CCT  - the theme is  a sketch.The slope of the sketch made me think of a wintersport - and that's why I chose that cat from Stampers Anonymous. I stamped the cat and colored it with alchohol ink markers. Used a round die to cut it out. Added it to my background paper, which is an out of stock Funky Fossil Designs paper. The little dots are a confetty stamp from Cats on Appletrees. This came together very quickly! I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Linking up with: 52CCT  - sketch Stamps&Fun= Creativity  - niedlich/cute  (I sure thisnk that cat is cute - but not everybody might agree, LOL!) Peace on Earth -anything Christmas

Katzelkraft - All is Calm, All is Bright

Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. Sorry, it's a Christmas card....but we just had a bit of snow, so it's snowing on my card as well....I really wanted to play along with the current  Christmas Kickstart  challenge. The theme is "Out on a Limb" and there is simply no better stamp than this one! I have not played with those cute cats in a while. I also have not used that pair having fun on a tree branch. I stamped them and made a mask. Brushed around them with blue and a bit of black distress ink. Colored them with alcohol ink markers and added white accents with a Posca pen. I made them some Santa hats.Added white acrylic paint splatters. Stamped the sentiment. A simple one layer card. The stamps I used are from the following sets: Cats on a Wall  - KTZ294,  Christmas Sayings  - KTZ302 (FRANCE) Cats on a Wall   - KTZ294 ,  Christmas Sayings  - KTZ302   (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday...

Paper Artsy Christmas Baubles

     Hi Everyone, I am again playing along with  52CCT  - the theme is  a sketch, that immediately made me think of baubles. I love those Paper Artsy ones - have used them a couple of times before. I stamped the baubles onto water color paper with Versafine ink, heat embossed them in gold and cut them out. Colored them with water colors. I added a lot of gold splatters. I stamped the sentiment (Funky Fossil Designs) and heat embossed it also in gold. Added the baubles with some gold floss. The small center one I mounted on foam tape for some dimension. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Linking up with: 52CCT  - sketch Stamps&Fun= Creativity - "B" - baubles

Golden Rudolph

 Hi Everyone, I am back with a Christmas card - trying to stick with my weekly card. I got inspired to play along with the Can you handle the pressure challenge and combined it with Christmas Kickstart I dry embossed the background and sprayed it lightly with shimmer spray - doesn't really show on the photo. I die cut Rudolph (Memory Box). I trimmed the card and added ancient Washi tape on the side. I also added some gold thread under Rudolph and gave him a red nose with a tiny gem. Added the sentiment (Darkroom Door) with foam tape and added a few enamel dots. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Linking up with: Can you handle the pressure challenge  - anything goes with an embossing folder Christmas Kickstart  - Meidas touch (add some gold)

Christmas Wreaths

The pretty wreath is from Funky Fossil Designs . I cut it out twice. I heat embossed the sentiment (also Funky Fossil Designs) and fuzzy cut it. Attached it with foam tape. I used a silver string to hold the wreaths together. Added some shiny gems.  I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Linking up with: 52CCT  - wreaths

Christmas in Christmas yellow, orange and red

    Hi Everyone, I thought I will wait until February for my first Christmas card in the new year, but here I am......  I checked out  52CCT  - the theme is  yellow, orange and red. I found that intriguing and played along with my brand new Unity Stamp snowman - I couldn't resist him.... I stamped the snowman onto the card and again onto sticky back paper and cut him out from there to make a mask. I sponged around him using distress inks. Colored the snowman a bit and stamped the sentiment. Added lots of splatters. Trimmed the bottom and added a strip of patterned paper. I hope you liked this.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays with Topflight Stamps

Hi Everyone, I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, whatever you prefer. And I have a last Christmas card for you. I made the backgrounds with trees form Winter Wonderland - stamped them in grey and black. I took a generic tag die, water color paper and stamped the Christmas Tree stamp on it with Lavinia Elements ink. I then sprayed it with Lavinia Mystical Mica spray and let it dry. Stamped and colored the cat and cut it out. I used some gold threaded twine for the top of the tag. Assembled everything and added some Stickles to the cat and enamel accents to the tree. 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:  Bob the Cat , Winter Wonderland Christmas Trees ,  Merry Christmas sentiment strip Mermaid , Chestnut Bay spray Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - Party Time
