Katzelkraft - Thankful

Hi everyone!

Time for a new Katzelkraft card! - and do you know what?  ...there are flowers on it again! :))

With this card I would also like to remind you of our current Dream Factory Challenge 

with the theme

Magnolia - Flowers and Mother's Day.

Lots of flowers on this card! I used the whole set except for one stamp.

I stamped the quote in the center, then stamped all the flowers around it. I colored them with alcohol ink markers and then used background stamps to add green ink splotches and a bit of texture between the flowers. 

There's one flower that I've paper pieced, because I didn't get the right result by coloring. Let's see if you can find it!

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

Happy Easter - Mini MOO Cards

Hi everyone!

No design team work today. - Just for fun!

Here is what I came up with.

These cute bunny girls are from the wrapping paper of mini chocolate bars. 

I recently rediscovered them while rummaging through my treasures. ... just goes to show that everything has its purpose at some point - right?

Before I cut them out, I pasted them onto thicker paper to make them easier to handle.

The stamps in the background are from Craft Sensations, the sentiment is from Stampin'Up. The papers used are from the small scraps box. Here they are stenciled scraps (the brick wall) and a piece of Yupo with alcohol inks on it.

This one got the same brick wall in addition with two small scraps of homemade background paper behind it. 

I added a little lace to the bottom of each bunny's dress. Jazzed up some parts with alcohol ink markers and traced the outlines with a black fine liner. I then pasted everything onto the mini cards, drew paws on each bunny and then added a little green ink to suggest grass. Hope you like them.

Note:

If you're looking for measurements of the MOO MiniCards, 

they're a slimline 1.1” x 2.75”. That's 70 x 28mm in the metric thing. 

...and that's very challenging!! ;)

Katzelkraft - You Are Amazing

Hi everyone!

Time for a new Katzelkraft card! ...with flowers again :))

I don't think I've ever made as many cards with flowers as I have in the last few days. :)

For the background, I used fossilized amber (Distress Oxide) and the negative of an AALL&Create letter stencil. - I also added splashes of Lemon Lime Green (Stampin'Up).

Next, I stamped the flowers and butterfly and spritzed some black ink on the card.

I stamped the flowers again on Bristol paper and the butterfly on paper that had already been colored. 

I colored the flowers with Alcohol ink markers, then cut them out - as well as the butterfly. 

I then stamped the sentiment and cut it out. Glued everything in place and added yellow liquid pearls to the flower pistils. I also coated the butterfly's wings with Wink of Stella wich is unfortunatly not visible on the photo.

Finally, I cut the card to size, colored the edges with blue ink and glued it onto a blank card. 

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

Katzelkraft - Language of Flowers

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day :)) ...today with flowers 

I stamped the lilies of the valley and masked them to create the background. 

To do this, I scribbled on a piece of acetate with a light blue aqua marker and sprayed it with water. 

I applied the color in places and repeated the process until I liked it. I splattered the whole thing again with the same color, took off the mask and stamped the quote. Colored the bouquet with Alcohol ink markers.

I cut the card to size, brushed the edges with green ink and pasted it on a blank card.

Soon it will be May 1st. 

In France, this day is known as the “Fête du Muguet” which means “Lily of the valley day”. 

The tradition of giving lilies of the valley to loved ones on this day dates back to 1561, when King Charles IX offered the flowers to the women of his court. The flowers are a symbol of good luck and happiness for the coming year. 

The lilies of the valley in my garden are in bud and will open just in time. 

I love the irresistible scent of lilies of the valley! 🤍

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

Katzelkraft - Kiss That Frog

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day :)) 

A few weeks ago, I was gifted ATCoins by a blogger friend of mine, and since then I can't get these little things out of my head. - Maybe a new passion - who knows!

I already made a set of three last week and today I felt like making another one - used the amazing frog from Katzelkraft for this. 

I don't know yet if I'll make just one coin or if I'll do another set. We'll see.

After stamping, I colored the frog with aqua markers and cut it out. I die cut a circle and a ring from black cardstock and a circle from a stenciled paper  ....from the stash. (see below)

I heat embossed the sentiment, cut it into labels and then glued everything together (Background on black circle - frog - black ring and finally the sentiment). 

I didn't have the heart to cut off the protruding parts, so I  left the frog intact.

I die cut the background from this paper, 

which was created with the negative of an AALL&Create mask/stencil.

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