Stempel Spass

   Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Christmas card.  I am playing along with  52CCT  - the theme is Kraft, White and Black I got a Twofer out of this one. Used the Tim Holtz Nordic Winter cover plate. I used some double sticky adhesive before I ran it through my Big Shot. And boy did I regret that.... Almost impossible to get those shapes out of the cover plate - kept sticking everywhere. I did manage to get it all out, except for the very small dots. I gave up on them....way to painful. But I had enough for a second card - the one above, which I actually like better. Lacking those little dots I just added a lot of white splatters for some fake snow. The sentiments are die cut 3 times and glued together. The one above is by Papertrey, the one below is from STAMPlorations. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Linking up with: 52CCT  - Kraft, White and Black

Hi Everyone, here is my weekly Christmas cards. I am very determined, to make enough card throughout the year to minimize the Christmas stress....... I am again playing along with 52CCT - it's a color challenge this time.  The only color allowed is white. Now for me that is incredibly difficult, after all I thrive with color.... - hoping the next one will be rainbow, LOL! I used a.. die cuts here. the sentiment is from STAMPlorations, the trees are Tim Holtz and the Santa is from Dixi Crafts. He is old by now, but needs to be used every year - this year I got him early! I dry embossed the background to not have a completely boring card.  I doubled up the sentiment and triple die cut the Santa to add some dimension. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Linking up with: 52CCT  - color white Peace on Earth - anything Christmas Can you Handle the Pressure -   anything dry embossed The Holly and Ivy Christmas challenge   - anything Christmas Jingle...

   Hi Everyone, working diligently on my Christmas card pile..... I am playing along with the Christmas Kickstart challenge . The theme is 'From my Gnome to Yours'. I bought that cute gnome and hut last fall and figured it's finally time for inking them up. They both are from Lost Coast Designs , I stamped the gnome on scrap  paper and stamped the hut on my card base. Colored them with Copics. Cut out the gnome and added him with foam tape. Stamped the sentiment (Stamplorations). Trimmed the card and added some wood paper at the bottom. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  Happy Stamping!

  Hi Everyone, as you  might know, I have the great honor to be Guest Designer for this month at the  Christmas Kickstart challenge  and it's a fabulous theme - rainbow Christmas! I love this theme and here is my reminder card: For this card I used the pretty  Christmas Snowflakes  from Katzelkraft and heat embossed them in white. Sponged around them in rainbow colors. Added the sentiment (Cutplorations). I cut it out a few times and glued it together to make it stand out more.  Stayed pretty CAS here - overall my favorite thing to do. It's quick and easy and often it doesn't need much to look good.  I hope you  like it as much as I do and I inspired you to  play along  - after all, Christmas is coming again, sooner than you might think.

Hi Everyone, I have the honor to be guest designing for the  current Male Room challenge , where the theme is "Landscape" in a male version! Thank you so much Male Room for having me! I had this landscape die (Altenew) in my stash - an NBUS, that I thought is perfect for this challenge. I took a paint chip to get the perfect color graduation, although for the middle color I had to take a different paper from my stash. The sentiment is an old one by STAMPlorations. So curious how you will interpret this theme! See you at The Male Room ! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge - anything goes
