Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. Continuing with my Christmas card production!  I usually use that exhausted angel at least once a year for a Christmas card. He finally has his day in the spotlight! I made the background with a stencil. Stamped the angle and colored  him with alcohol inks. Added him to the card. Drew some chunky snowflakes with a Posca pen. Heat embossed the sentiment in white. Added some Stickles to the angel. The stamps I used are from the following sets: Sherlock Holmes  - KTZ211, Christmas Sayings - KTZ302 (FRANCE) Sherlock Holmes  - KTZ211,  Christmas Sayings  - KTZ302  (USA) Hope you liked this and perhaps I inspired you to play along with the  Thanks for visiting!

Hi Everyone, Today I am honored to be guest designing for the current  Try it on Tuesday challenge . The theme is "Baby it's Cold Outside". I immediately knew what stamp I would use for this fabulous theme.  The little cold Katzelkraft Pabos. I started out masking a frame with Washi tape around the upper part of my card and brushed it with distress oxide ink. Added some water splatters and white splatters to the background. Stamped the Pabos and then stamped him again onto scrap paper and colored him with alcohol inks. Cut him out.  Added the cut out to the stamped image on the card. Used my stamp positioner to add the cake. Stamped the sentiment (A Muse). Colored the cake and added white accents. The stamp I used is from the following set: Sherlock Holmes - KTZ211,  Tea Time - KTZ200 (FRANCE) Sherlock Holmes  - KTZ211,  Tea Time  -  KTZ200   (USA) Hope you liked this and perhaps I inspired you to play along with the  Try it on Tu...

   Hi Everyone, This week the theme is "Stars" at the  Topflight blog . So I sent the little Katzelkraft Pabos pilot on a space journey! I used an old gel print background as a base. I colored the moon after a tutorial by Katzelkraft on  YouTube , although Beatrice did it better....I stamped the stars and planet part with Versamark and heat embossed them in silver. Stamped the little pilot onto scrap paper and again the propeller, colored them with alcohol ink markers and cut them out. Added the extra propeller with a brad - it moves as you can see on the bottom picture. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration.

 Hi Everyone, working on increasing my Christmas card pile..... I am playing along with the 52 CCT challenge . The theme is dry embossing.  I took an embossing folder (Mundart Stempel) and Kraft paper. Took some gold gilding polish and gave everything a gold shimmer. Wasn't happy with the outcome and took my brayer and brayered green ink onto one side of the embossing folder and ran it through my Big Shot again (you will have to line it up correctly). I liked that better. Took the tired angel from the Katzelkraft Pabos series , stamped and colored him and cut him out. Die cut my favorite Santa (Dixi Craft) in black. Heat embossed the sentiment and added it with foam tape. Lastly I added Stickles to the halo, the wings and the bottom of the dress. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Happy Stamping!

      Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I am creating a calendar with my beloved Katzelkraft stamps. I am so happy with my first page. Looking forward to the next 11 months! I first stamped the branches and the trees, doing some generational stamping and spritzed the second and third impressions with water before I stamped to get those fluid colors and impressions. I did a bit of light sponging (distress inks) to add some background color. I colored and fuzzy cut the little guy and added him to my scene. Stamped the birds and added the sentiment as well as the little calendar. In the end I also added white accents to the trees and a bit of "snow" to the ground - to make it more wintery. The stamps I used are from the following sets: Winter Wonderland  - KTZ280,  Les Pabos 1 - KTZ211,  Bords de Mer - KTZ256, Branches - Solo099  ( FRANCE)  Winter Wonderland - KTZ280,  Les Pabos  1 - KTZ211, Sea Side - KTZ...
