Happy Christmas time

Hi everyone!

We're heading into the second half of our current Dream Factory challenge, and I wanted to give you a quick reminder on our movie

 

Christmas ...Again?!

It's an Anything Goes Christmas Challenge

 Today's card is very simple. 

I simply tore a sheet of watercolor paper in two, replaced the space in between with dark blue cardstock and stamped stars, trees and houses with silver metallic ink.

Finally, I added white splatters and stamped the sentiment in black. Done!

Have a nice weekend and lots of time for crafting!

Katzelkraft - Snowman Kisses

Hi everyone!

Today is Katzelkraft day. 

An ATC this time. - I love these little cards and I really enjoy designing them!

For the background of my ATC, I found what I was looking for in my stash. 

- A leftover piece of gel print that was exactly the right size. 

Using a stencil and texture paste, I added stars, stamped small snowflakes in between and a tiny text on the right side. Stamped the festively dressed snowman on Bristol paper and colored it first with watercolors. 

I then intensified the colors with alcohol ink markers, cut out the snowman and glued it onto the ATC. 

Finally, I stamped the sentiment and backed the ATC with black cardstock.

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

Katzelkraft - Stand tall

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft card. 

Once again I used Exhale - she is such a lovely girl. 

I put her on the tall giraffe, which is also from Katzelkraft. 

 

I stamped the giraffe and masked it. Stamped the girl and masked her too. I then sponged the background (Distress Oxides) and applied a subtle pattern to the left and right with a stencil.

I removed the masks and colored the girl and the giraffe first with watercolors and then with alcohol ink markers.

The quote is part of the giraffe stamp.

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

Hi everyone!

Time for a quick reminder on our current Day of the Month Card Club challenge

We're celebrating

National Gingerbread Cookie Day

...and we want to see lots of them on your cards and crafts.

I recently won some fun digital images from Conjurer of Dreams, 

a new monthly “Anything Goes” challenge blog with an optional theme for each month. 

Today I printed out one of these images and used it for my DotMCC reminder card...

Originally the background of the image is rather cyan/grey, but I wanted it to be green, 

so I changed the color before printing.

Have Fun!!

Hi everyone!

Today marks the start of a new challenge at the Dream Factory 

This month's movie is

Christmas ...Again?!

Yes, it's almost Christmas again! 

We hope you haven't made all your 

Christmas cards and Christmas crafts yet 

so that there are still a few left for our challenge! :D

Anything Goes: Christmas + opt. Funny Cards

For this ATC, I was quite inspired by the colors of the movie poster. 

I colored the image with alcohol ink markers. Cut it out and glued it onto some leftover "alcohol-ink-experimental paper" I found in my stash. I arranged the sentiment alternately in white and black, as I found only white too bright and only black too bold.

Katzelkraft - Don't stop believin'

Hi everyone!

I'm back with Katzelkraft Christmas card number three. 

Christmas is just a few weeks away! 

So far I've only made three cards because I've taken a break from making Christmas cards this year. 

Before I used to make one card a week! - I really needed a time out from these cards! 

...never thought the break would last this long!

I stamped the Christmas tree with Tranquil Tide (Stampin'Up) and masked it. Stamped the girl and masked it too. Sponged the card with Speckled Egg and then stenciled stars with Chipped Sapphire and letters with Speckled Egg (Distress Oxide).

I colored Exhale (the girl) with watercolors and the Christmas balls with glitter gel pens. The sentiment is from Stampin'Up.

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