Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, its still the weekend, so there is still time to play in Words up Weekend over at Facebook's  Stampotique group! And since Halloween is nearing, I made a halloweeny card............ using Alice  from the new release. The background I created with the Owl Tree and choosing one of the sentiments from Phrase cube 2 Both the Owl Tree and sentiment are heat embossed in clear. I added white gel pen accents to the owls eyes. And a tiny Washi tape owl on the side. Happy WUW!

Hi Everyone, this is my first blog post after my hiking vacation in Slovenia and it did take me quite a few days to get back into the swing of things.....but I am back now!!!! Katzelkraft stamps make this easy for you - they instantly lift your mojo! I used Big Cat #9  and colored it with Inktense pencils. The pretty street lamp is one of the new stamps. The sentiment is from English Quotes . Did some sponging for the background. So, do you believe in magic?  If not, get yourself some Katzelkraft stamps ;) Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone, I simply love Halloween and my Spooky Hollow tree die from Memory Box was begging me to be used..... I die cut the tree, sponged my background and added the two ghosts (unknown company) and the pumpkins (Michaels $1 stamp). Added some white Sharpie accents and the bats (Martha Stewart punch). This sounds quicker than it was putting it all together, but I an so happy with the result! I did not think it needed a sentiment - it's obviously a Halloween card.... Playing along with: Memory Box October challenge - Black and Orange Uniko challenge - autumn/fall with  Alphabet Challenge - P for pumpkin If you give a Crafter a Cookie - see inspiration pic below Double D   - Fright Night Craft Stamper TIMI - anything goes   

Hi Everyone, Snarktoberfest is still going strong and So Suzy Stamps is one of the sponsors. Since So Suzy has a well stocked snark department I figured I'll make good use of it! My So Suzy supplies:    Nice Person sentiment ,  Martini Lady I don't have a tutorial - forgot to take some pictures, but there is not much to this anyhow - sprinkled some Brushos (grey) and Color Burst (fuchsia) onto Bristol paper. Sprayed it with water and waited for it to dry. Stamped the Martini Lady with my Misti and the sentiment.  Added liquid pearls and Stickles to the earring and necklace. Added Washi tape. Be nice ;) and have a great day - Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Inkspirational - one layer
