Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I let myself be Inspired by Isa C. Craft and her Facebook tagalong challenge , which this month is about paper strips and/or Washi tape.   I have a whole pile of paper strips from trimming my cardstock and for a while I had been thinking about using them. Now this challenge played right into that idea and it was now or never, LOL!  I sorted the strips kind of by matching colors and glued them onto a white card base. I stamped the Meerkats and colored them with Copics. and then I agonized over the sentiment (heat embossed from Stampers Anonymous) and how to add it. Finally I thought hot pink! I sponged the background paper for the sentiment and the remaining white areas ono my card base with Neon pink and that did it for me. Finally happy with the result!  That is the set I used: Meerkats  - KTZ216  ( FRANCE) Meerkats   - KTZ216  (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesda...

   Hi Everyone, I made this card with stamps, die and paper from new May release from  Funky Fossil Designs !  The paper is from the 6x6 paper pad  Urban Vibes . I first stamped the guy ( Zip it Gang ), colored him with Copics and cut him out. Die cut the door in blue and the inside panels in white. Added the door to the background paper. Glued in the inside panels. Attached the guy by the door, so he jumps out at you when you open it. Added the sentiment (from the same stamp set).  My stamp supplies: Arched Doorway Urban Vibes paper pad   Zip it Gang I love that masculine stamp line from Funky Fossil. So good to have, especially for teenage boys! Happy Stamping!

     Hi Everyone, This week we are featuring  Versafine Clair Inks on the  Topflight blog .  They are beautifully vibrant pigment ink pads. I inked up the background stamp in Tulip Red and Summertime Orange, although it looks all the same  here. I used my brayer to smooth out the transitions. Stamped the image onto white paper and heat embossed it in clear. Brushed yellow, orange, red and Medieval Blue over the heat embossed image to get that gradient background. Stamped the little figure onto scrap paper and used whatever color was left in the brushes to color it. I did mask off the hat, eye and belt, which I colored with markers. Cut it out and added gel pen highlights. Added the heat embossed sentiment. 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:  ZINI 39 , Eucalyptus background , Friendship sentiment Summertime , Tulip Red ...
