Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two weeks our theme is Holiday - just perfect, with Father's Day on the horizon......but you may choose any other holiday! Our wonderful sponsor for  this  challenge is Stitchy Bear  the prize - 3 images up to $10 I used MME PP as background and added those cute little tools from My Favorite Things on silver embroidery thread. The stamp is by  Studio G, Linking up with: Paper Players  - masculine Naughty or Nice 16: Sketch Time  - see below CAS Colours and Sketches - see below Hope  to  see you there!

Hi Everyone, my crazy bird went Krafty :) Colored him with pencils, masked and stamped some Stamploration - Mixed Media Grunge stamps as background. The sentiment is also by Stamplorations - Fond Expressions and the "happy DAD" is Studio G stamps. Added a strip of DP. I never enjoyed making Father's Day cards as much as this year - must be those birds....

Hi Everyone, back to my usual CAS style - taking a little break from those crazy birds....as I said - I need a few more Father's Day cards.... I am playing with Mel's   which is pure fun - every day a different sketch for 7 days. I am trying to make all 7 days....kept it simple with Washi tape and a variety of hats from Studio 112. The sentiment is from Studio G.  so both real cheapo stamps, but fun! Linking up with: Color Throwdown Kreativsuechtig - 7 days/7 sketches - day1 The Male Room  - Washi tape Simon Says Wednesday challenge - masculine AAA Cards challenge  - for the guys Happy stamping!

Hi Everyone, my son asked my to make a card for his teacher - he is a real popular guy and the whole class loves him. So a masculine card is in order and what better to use than the fabulous inspiration picture from  Papercrafting Magazine Mondays challenge! They are celebrating their 100th challenge - woot, woot - I am happy I can be part of this! Here is my card: I used the Rainbow Stripes die by Papertrey and did this as inlaid die cut technique with shimmer paper. the die cut sentiment is by Lil Inkers - die cut it from cardstock as well as fun foam - so much easier than cutting mutiple layers and gluing them together. This is just 2 layers.....The 1000 stamps are by Studio G - they are really alphabet stamps.....added some Washi tape.  Here is one of the inspiration pictures from the challenge - love this, just up my alley - graphic and modern. And here another view of my card: Linking with: Papercrafting Magazine Mondays ch...

Hi Everyone, I am still in Father's Dy card mood and what better to use than those funky crazy birds bu Tim Holtz. This one I dressed up with a top hat and brad glasses. The colors are from the current Male Room challenge - see below.  I used watercolor paper and water colors and of course those splatters - they have to be there... The sentiments are a combination of CASual Friday stamps and Studio G stamps. Linking up with: The Male Room Cardz 4 Guyz - Wildlife - although this bird looks rather tame to me ;) Addicted to CAS - animal       And now I have a second card to share - made them with my brand new Winnie and Walter stamps. I wanted to play in their challenges now for a long time, but had no supplies...finally Anita from My Papercraft World pushed me over the edge, I caved in and got myself some goodies :)))) All stamps are by W&W - the "wishes" sentiment is fuzzy cut and heat embossed in silver. the geo...

I have not played with the  Muse  in a while - there is just too many challenges and too much other schtuff to do......but I am back with one card. Now you may wonder how I got inspired to do this, but honestly I did get inspired by Marion's cute card! What I really wanted is an animal hanging upside down, instead of being perched on a branch, so I rummaged through my supplies and only found a monkey and a spider.....I settled for the spider. Since I reversed the animal, I also reversed the sentiment, stamping it on top. I only did a partial frame with Washi tape.  So, here you have it - totally inspired!!!!! Supplies: Spiders - Studio G, web - Craftsmart, sentiment - Martha Stewart. I am also linking this up with the  July Linky Party  for a chance to win a $25.00 gift card in the  a2zscrapbooking Store. And remember - Halloween is coming sooner than Christmas - eeeeek!

My friend Vicki over at the Muse designed a stunning card to use as inspiration. With Fathers Day being almost here I turned it into a Fathers Day card.... I got inspired by the horizontal stripes, the bold sentiment and the raised banner I used paint swatches since they come striped already and heat embossed the sentiment - STAMPlorations sentiments builders . I added a black line about the right side of each of the small letters to give it more dimension. The raised round I cut four times using a Nestabilities die. The sentiment and the bowler hat are Studio G stamps. Here is Vicki's fabulous card:                                                   I am also adding this card to:                                               ...
