Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, it has been a while that I had time for making a card other than DT cards. But the inspiration picture from The Card Concept caught my eye - see it below. I used grey card stock as base and dry embossed it with a Papertrey embossing plate.Kind of hard to see, it is quite subtle. I diecut the deer (Poppy Stamps Whittle die,s) and glued them onto wood paper. Used a thin strip of antiqued mirror paper, as the inspiration pic has some lights in it. The sentiment is from inkystamps. Added two small pearls.

Hi Everyone, as you all know, Wednesday is Katzelkraft day on my blog.  There are some brand new solo stamps in the store - you may want to check them out! I used that adorable Fox Family . I stamped and colored the foxes with Inktense. I fuzzy cut them. I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder as background and arranged the foxes on my card. The large fox II also stamped on the card base and only added the cut out fox - I had no patience to cut out the tree as well.... Added the sentiment (Inkystamps) - it means merry Christmas, I am sure you guessed that. Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration!

Hi Everyone, CAS Mix-up has a fun theme this month and I decided to play along. The theme is inchies. In fact I have so many ideas for this I might just play again.... This is super easy. I just took some Washi tape and stuck it onto card stock. Took a 1 inch square die and cut three times. Mounted them with foam tape. Stamped the sentiment (inkystamps) and since it looked kind of empty I also added the little fox (Poppy Stamps). I am also  a square format for this card, thought it looked better that way. Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone, Connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Tanja from   Little Art Cottage   and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 2nd Sunday of the month and this is our ninth transatlantic get-together! This time we both agreed on the requirements: Black Ice Technique and Christmas This technique is amazing - you should look at THIS tutorial. It is quite easy to do. You basically Stamp on mirror paper and then go over it with Versamark and add clear embossing powder. I used a combination of products - the background snowflakes are by Hero Arts, The die cut snowflakes are by Memory Box and the sentiment if from Inkystamps. Here is a detail photo: Since I had made a big mirror paper panel I got a second card out of it: Did the same, but also dry embossed the blue card stock (Tim Holtz) after I sprayed the embossing folder wi...

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.

Hi Everyone, recently I got some great new stamps form Germany - they are from the Renke Manufaktur . For a long time I had my eyes on them and finally I got my hands on them, doing a little internet exchange with my friend Elisabeth ..... I used one of the stamps, which I had bought in two sizes - its called Bluetendolde . I love it, because you can use it for so many things, like what I did here, made it into a Christmas bauble. I heat embossed it in silver and gold (WOW embossing powder). The sentiment is by Mama Elephant. I added a little strip of gold glitter paper on the side. And "hung" the baubles on silver and gold strings.  Did you notice my new splashy watermark - Kylie made that for me and if you want one too, you can contact her - I made a link on the sidebar of my blog.
