Katzelkraft - Fun Day

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day :))  Today I was in mood for an ATC...

I chose the little cat peeking out from behind the vase. It's one of the new Katzelkraft mini stamps from the Maryse Carrier collection. This little stamp is really cute and is even the size of an ATC as you can see. So not so mini after all! :))

I stamped the image on Bristol paper and colored it first with watercolor. Then I highlighted a few spots with alcohol markers. I cut out the image and pasted it onto a leftover background, which I had made with a letter stencil (AALL&Create). The text behind the vase is also by AALL&Create.

I noticed that three of the letters formed the word Fun. So I highlighted them with a dark alcohol marker and stuck the word Day (heat embossed) underneath. 

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)

Hi everyone!

I'm back to remind  you about the current challenge at  Day of the Month Card Club! 

This month we are celebrating 

 National Seashell Day

Today I made an ATC. I stamped the images on leftover gel prints and cut them out. Highlighted some spots with alcohol ink markers and a white gel pen. Sand and sea in the background are also gel print remnants. 

I stamped numbers on the left and a text on the right and then glued the cut out parts onto the ATC. At the bottom left, I stamped some grasses. I heat embossed the three labels beach, sea, sand and glued them on as well. Added googly eyes to the sea snail, mussel and starfish to make them look funnier. Hope you like it.

Did you know...

There are more than 200,000 different types of mollusks in the world and they each create their own unique types of shells! 

Have Fun! ;)

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft card :))

My card today shows another vehicle from the recent Katzelkraft stamp release, combined with the slightly older, super fun cow selfie. The idea for this combination is based on the quote I found on Pinterest.

I stamped the cow and masked it. Stamped the tractor and masked it as well. I then brushed the background and added water splatters to the blue area. Stenciled the bottom part with a darker green.

I removed the masks, colored the cow and tractor first with watercolors and then added a darker red to the tractor with alcohol ink markers.

To finish my card, I stamped a few numbers in the left corners and added a torn strip of washi tape to the bottom edge. 

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

The movie for this month is...

Inside Out

German title

Alles steht Kopf

The movie Inside Out has the German title “Alles steht Kopf”, which means upside down. 

So we want to see something that is upside down for this challenge.

Didn't have much time to design my card, so I had to be quick! 

I chose two completely different styles of designer paper, which fortunately work well together.

I cut out the dove with two hexagonal dies. I glued the narrow part directly to the background and used foam pads to lift the hexagon with the dove. 

I stamped the quote I found on Pinterest with an alphabet rotary stamp, cut it into labels and then stuck them on. 

I hope to have more time for my next project. 

Have Fun!

Katzelkraft - Comme un air de vacances...

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft card :))

Today's creation shows the Tuktuk, one of the many stamps recently released by Katzelkraft. - You've probably already seen them on their webside and on social media.

And the best thing is!!! 

From June 7th to June 16th you can get “all stamps” in the Katzelkraft store with a 30% Discount !!!! - Isn't that just WOW! 

It's the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to these great stamps! (see below)

Katzelkraft also have a Facebook fan group where you can see all the wondeful creations of the multiple followers as well as those of the Design Team members. Sign up, you'll be amazed at the fabulous creativity of all these people!

And here's how I made my card.

For the background, I used a print that my printer messed up. 

Instead of printing multiple colors, it printed everything in green and gray - that's its new way of printing! Lol

As I don't like to throw anything away, I jazzed up this print with yellow, orange, dark blue and a little black. I simply applied the colors with the edges of the ink pad.

You can still see the green through here and there, but I didn't want to cover everything anyway. 

On the lower part, I stuck washi tape to create a kind of road.

I then stamped, colored and cut out the tuktuk and glued it to the background. - Used Aqua-Markers for the coloring.

To finish my card, I stamped the numbers and the sentiment. (Like a little vacation...)

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)

Hi everyone!

Today starts a new challenge at the Day of the Month Card Club! 

This month we are celebrating 

 National Seashell Day

.I'm not entirely happy with today's card because the idea I had in my head didn't turn out well on the card. 

Too bad! ... but it's lookable!

I stamped all the images on scraps of gel prints and then cut them out. On some shells I applied Wink of Stella and on others I added metallic watercolor. I pasted the shells and characters on a gel print. Cut it to size and glued it on a slightly larger blank card. The sentiment I stamped with individual letter stamps. 

Did you know

that one of the oldest known collection of shells can be traced back to 79 AD in Pompeii in Southern Italy, 

with shells from distant places, as far as the Red Sea

Have Fun! ;)
