Stempel Spass

    Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. 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 black distress ink. Colored them with alcohol ink markers and added white accents with a Posca pen. Stamped the sentiment and added the little mouse. a simple one layer card.

Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I am playing along with the current Dream Factory/Traumfabrik challenge . They have the cutest movie poster as inspiration (see below) and I figured I should recreate it with Katzelkraft stamps! I had the background in my stash - some leftover water color page, where I was trying to not throw away ink.....I guess it was waiting for that occasion, LOL! I then stamped the cat, mouse and umbrella top on scrap paper. Colored with alcohol ink markers and cut them out. I stamped the rain drops onto the card base.  I stamped the cat, mouse and umbrella on the card and glued the cut out over the stamped outlines.  I heat embossed the sentiment and added it. Drew in some light shadows for the cat.

Hi Everyone, I have the honor to be guest designing for the current AAA challenge . It's a sketch with an optional twist of critters. Of course I had to add some critters! I love all my little critter stamps! For this card I used a brand new set from the new release from Picket Fence Studio. Don't ask me why I buy stamps. Clearly I have more than I possibly can ever use....I just couldn't say no to those cuties... So here you see the sketch. I followed it closely. I am sure you will have fun with it! I did, for sure!

Hi Everybody, I am proud and happy to announce that I will be guest designer of the month for  Topflight Stamps !  There you will find different and hard-to-find art stamps from around the world.  They carry a lot of European stamp companies, which are hard to find in the US and the shipping rates are quite reasonable. Occasionally to make thing even better there are sales. There also is a sale category, where you can  get super lucky, so that is always worthwhile to check out! So here is my first card: I took this cute set by Carabelle to create my card. Those dogs are just the cutest! The Scotty dog and the Wiener dog are just meant for each other.  But I didn't want to cut of the Wiener dog. That would have been cruel.... So I decided on a side fold rather than my usual top fold and stamped him around onto the back. Masked them both and sponged the floor. Added the sentiment. I colored them with Copics. And then the bulld...
