 Hi Everyone, This week it's all about Christmas and Winter at the  Topflight blog .  This wonderful stamp is by Crafty Individuals. I first stamped it onto a large post it note and then cut it out to have a mask. I stamped it again onto card stock. Masked it and sponged around with distress inks. Took off the mask and lightly add some bits of color. I heat embossed the sentiment and added it with foam tape. Added a glitzy string from my stash.  I hope you liked this.

    Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. Halloween is over - now its major Christmas card making season! I first stamped the Christmas tree using my Misti. I first stamped it with peeled paint and then again, not inking up the entire stamp with rustic wilderness (distress oxide inks) . I stamped the penguin on a piece of scrap paper and cut it out after I lightly colored it. I brushed the background with distress inks. I added dots of Stickles to the tree. I added some snowflakes to the background. Heat embossed the sentiment, cut it out and added it. The stamps I used are from the following set: Christmas Trees - KTZ303 , Funny Penguins   - KTZ239,  Christmas Sayings - KTZ302,    Christmas Snowflakes - KTZ282   ( FRANCE) Christmas Trees - KTZ303 ,  Funny Penguins   - KTZ239,  Christmas Sayings  - KTZ302,    Christmas Snowflakes - KTZ282    (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wedn...

Hi Everybody!  Crackerbox Stamps  came out with new fabulous stamps - some Christmas stamps as well, but I focused on the non Christmas stamps here. they were just too good to not use, LOL!

Affiliate links may be used in the links provided below. This is essentially a one layer card, where I did a bit of masking. I colored with alcohol ink markers.

Hi Everyone, This week it's anything goes at the  Topflight blog .  So I decided to make some more Christmas cards. I have a feeling I fell behind - for sure not going to  be enough - AGAIN! I discovered this cute little die cut set in the store. I liked it so much that I made two cards! For my first card I created the background with the Snowflake background stamp from Darkroom Door. I heat embossed it and sponged around it, using more color on the outside and left a lighter center. Added teh die cuts and the het embossed sentiment. I used black card stock for the second card. I used foam tape to add the die cuts. Heat embossed the sentiment and borders in gold and added gold splatters, as well as a little gold thread to some of the die cuts.  I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration. And here are the stamp supplies I used:  DIY&Cie Christmas Icons ,        Dar...

Hi Everyone, I am playing along with the Woodblock Wednesday challenge that Amy Tsuruta is starting over at Instagram. She also has a linky list on her blog. I have sooooo many neglected wood stamps, that are desperate for some ink. Since I am sure I don't have enough Christmas cards AGAIN.... I decided on making one more.  this was quite easy. The cat is by Rubber Soul, the tree is Hero Arts, the ornament A Muse stamps and the sentiment I have no idea. I did a little bit of coloring with markers and  white paint. Added Stickles to the tree, because everything is better with a bit of glitter! The bottom I doodled (inspired by Sandy Allnock) Happy Woodblock Stamping!

   Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I associate November with bad weather - probably dates back to the many years I spent in Germany......Here in the US it's not that bad actually. I started out stamping the Windy  Day Girl. I took the Water Wall stamp and stamped over the page. I dabbed on Crystal Lacquer onto some of the rain drops and let it dry. I masked the girl and umbrella. I used a cloud stencil (Altenew) for the background and stenciled with distress inks. I colored the girl with water brush pens.   I masked off the ground and bushed with green and brown distress inks. I added the calendar part on some black background paper. I stamped the frog (or whatever it is) onto scrap paper and colored it with alcohol ink markers. Cut it out. I added the frog to my page. The stamps I used are from the following sets: Windy Day Girl  - SOLO105,  Australiens  - KTZ225,  Water Wall  - KTZ 146 ( FRANCE) Windy Day G...
