...hanging out with you

Hi everyone!

We're heading into the second half of our current Dream Factory challenge, and I would like to briefly remind you about it.

 

Love Actally

Love, Hearts, and/or Valentine's Day

The movie poster inspired me to create the pattern in the heart - luckily, I had a suitable stencil. 

I punched out a large heart. From this, I punched out a smaller one. I slightly shifted the two hearts and glued them together. Stamped the cat, cut it out, and glued it onto the hearts. 

I splattered black ink onto a blank card and glued the hearts and cat onto it. Punched out a very small heart from red glitter cardstock, glued it to the cat's paws, and finally stamped the sentiment.

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

Our movie for this month is:

Love Actually

It's actually a Christmas love story,  

but we're using it for our first challenge of the year.

So, for the next 4 weeks, 

it's all about 

Love, Hearts, and/or Valentine's Day!

I'm not really a fan of Valentine's Day, but once a year I can convince myself! Haha 

The background of my card is dry-embossed with small arrows and hearts -- hard to see, but it is! 

I added a strip of washi tape under the frog's feet als well. 

Frog and hearts are colored with alcohol ink markers and aqua markers, cut out and glued on.

The sentiment says: I Love you this much!

Hi everyone!

We are entering the second half of our current challenge at the Dream Factory. 

Our Movie: My Sassy Girl  

This month we are inspired by the words: Feminine, Girly and Valentine's Day. 

It also happens to be my Katzelkraft day. So I combined the two ;)

This time I decided to go for Valentine's Day, 

but I think it would work just as well for girly as for feminine.

...and as you can see, my flowery mood isn't over yet ;)) 

First, I splattered a blank card with 3 shades of pink metallic watercolor paint and set it aside to dry.

Meanwhile, I punched out a pale pink heart. I repeatedly stamped branches from the "Foliage" set and cut them out. Ditto for the flower from the "Ginko" set.

I colored everything with alcohol ink markers and then glued the pieces along the edge of the die-cut heart. - I glued the finished heart to the card with the splatters using foam pads.

The sentiments are from a vellum paper pad. I simply tore off the LOVE YOU! and the sentence at the bottom along the writing, then glued them to the card using small dots of glue.

If you would like to see more of my Katzelkraft creations, 

just click on the Katzelkraft label at the end of the post, or here.

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

Hello Sweet💖

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

The movie for this month is...

My Sassy Girl

Anything Goes

Feminine, girly and Valentine's Day

First, I stenciled hearts in different colors on Brisol paper. I colored some of them again with alcohol ink markers to make the colors stand out better. I rounded off the top of the panel and backed it with black cardstock.

I stamped the cat, colored it with watercolors and cut it out. Sponged the top of a blank card with pink and purple and then brightened up a few hearts using a water brush pen. I then glued on the cat and the panel with the hearts. 

I die-cut the letters for the word SWEET from pink glitter foam and backed them slightly offset with black letters. I added a die-cut heart under the T, so the word sweet became sweetheart. 

HELLO is die-cut from light blue cardstock and has a pink backing. 

To round off the whole thing, I added a strip of washi tape at the bottom of the card and glued three rhinestones to the die-cut heart.

Have Fun!

Hi everyone!

Time for a little reminder about the current Dream Factory challenge.

Our film for this month is

LUCK

We connected this movie to the theme of St. Patrick's day and the color green, 

but that doesn't mean you necessarily have to make a St. Patrick's card. 

Believe me, there really are a lot of ways to do this challenge!

There is quite a lot to discover on this card - starting with the stenciled and embossed hearts on the right side of the card, 

it goes on to the circles on the left. These are designed with different patterns and three different colors. 

Inside the acetate pocket is a tag made of corrugated cardstock - it's filled with sequins and shamrocks. 

Behind it is a film strip and further up a tiny little text.

On the bag sits a black cat (an ancient stamp of Katzelkraft) on a twisted gold string. 

The sentiment from Stampin'Up is backed with black cardstock. 

Although it looks like a lot of work, the card was made relatively quickly. Hope you like it.

Have Fun!

Hanging out with you

Hi everyone!

Another ATC, today for fun. - I think I'm on the way to succumb to these little things more and more..... :)) 

I dug out another bit of gel print and stenciled it with large and small hearts. Then I stamped and heat embossed the cats. Stamped some background text and XO's. Added a little Gesso here and there. Cut out a few more hearts and added them. Stamped the sentiment and backed the ATC with black cardstock. - Hope you like it :)

Il y a de l'amour dans l'air...

Hi everyone!

We are entering the second half of our current challenge at the Dream Factory. 

Our Movie is: Squared Love 

This month we are inspired by the theme of Valentine's Day. 

Today it's very girly, as you can see. 

I like pink a lot, but I'm not as pink as the tag might suggest! Hahaha 

It's just because I wanted to take on Isa's challenge: 

Monochrome - only one color, no white, no black!

I sponged, stenciled, stamped, heat embossed,

added die cuts and glitter cardstock,

applied gel pens to highlight....

.....used water and bleach to lighten some spots, 

and lastly tied a wool thread to the tag.

The quirky animals are from Katzelkraft.

It honestly wasn't easy working with just one color, 

but I think it's worth looking at. What do you think?
