Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, its inspiration time at  STAMPlorations ! This week I am featuring Becca Cruger's stamp line  Big Grins . My stamp supplies:  Llama Tell You ,  Caffeinated Christmas , Stitched Nesting Dies I tried some no line coloring. I am not particularly good at it, I guess I should practice more..I stamped on Designer Paper. Used the middle one of the  Stitched Nesting Dies  to cut it in size.  Added the sentiment, which in part comes from the caffeinated Christmas set - I just cut the stamps apart. Attached it to the red card base and added Washi tape. Use  code STAMPGIRLCORNELIA to get 20% off on all stamps, stencils, and dies on all regular- and sale-priced items in the store.

Hi Everyone, I have been playing with the new  So Suzy & Crackerbox Stamps release . Here I am using the  Christmas sentiment . I combined it with an older stamp - the  Ornament Swirl . Christmas sentiment , Ornament Swirl I am using Kaleidocolor ink pads for this. Stamped the ornament in rainbow colors. Used a water brush to pull in some of the stamped color and lightly colored the centers of the ornament. Added the strings with a ruler. Stamped the sentiment. Used my Wink of Stella to add some shimmer. I turned out to be empty... no despair - you can fill it up with Shimmer Spritz - the whole bottle costs as much as a Wink of Stella pen....and you still have plenty of left overs for spritzing...

Hi Everyone, I have been playing with the new  So Suzy & Crackerbox Stamps release . Here I am using the  Candy Cane . Christmas sentiment ,  Candy Cane I inked up a strip of Kraft paper with the candy cane and heat embossed it in white. Colored first the red stripes with Inktense Added the white used a green card base and stamped the sentiment Added a strip of glitter paper and my candy cane panel - used the Misti to line it all up perfectly Stamped the sentiment again. Toughed up the sentiment where the ink didn't take well because of the heat embossing. You can use a black Sharpie for that or an alcohol ink marker.

Hi Everyone, as you all know, Wednesday is Katzelkraft day on my blog.  I played again with my new stamps - could not wait to get my fingers on them......This exhausted angel is from the  Sherlock Holmes set The silhouette stamps are called  Winter Scene I made myself a mask for the angel. Stamped the angel and sponged with distress oxide inks. Splattered some water. Added the Winter Scene stamp. Colored with Inktense. Splattered some more, this time with Mr. Huey in white. Trimmed the sides and mounted it onto white card stock. Added a touch of Stickles to the angel.

Hi Everyone, no card today, but I am showing you the front of my yearly advent calendar that I make for my daughter. My son prefers the chocolate one, those are easy... I used designer paper as background and die cut the windows with an Ellen Hutson die. I used a template by Julie Ebersole - you can find it HERE . If you are interested in more details - I have a photo tutorial HERE , that explains exactly how I made this. Just in case you have a few hours to spare to make your own advent calendar.... The numbered baubles are by Memory Box and lastly the animals are from Cats on Appletrees. If you are interested to see the inside - come back after Christmas, I'll show it to you.... Not much longer until Christmas! Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone, I need to increase my Christmas card production.....just doing them all year long is apparently not enough.... So I pulled out my favorite Dixie Drafts dies (Santa and Reindeer), a 3-D embossing folder and a so far NBUS German sentiment set from Inkystamps. This was really quick to make. I embossed dark blue card stock and smeared Delicata ink on top. Die cut the Santa, deer and stars (Memory Box) from gold card stock. Assembled everything with some Washi tape . The sentiment I had put in my Misti and stamped it on both cards.
