Katzelkraft - Just for You

Hi everyone!

I am back with a new Katzelkraft creation.

Today also marks the start of a new challenge at the Dream Factory, but since I haven't had much time in the last few days, I had to fit both into one card.

The movie for this month is:

Birnenkuchen mit Lavendel

The Sens of Wonder click

The literal translation of the movie is: 

Pear cake with lavender

So we're taking it word for word with pears, cake and lavender. 

Since this story takes place in Provence, we're also including this keyword in the challenge.

My idea for this card was to use real lavender. To do this, I picked a few smaller side shoots from my lavender bush and flattened them a bit. I stamped the bottle on acetate and colored it with alcohol ink markers. Cut it out and shortened the neck of the bottle, which was a little too long.

I drew fine lines on the bottom of a blank card and splattered green ink in the upper area. I attached the bottle with small foam tape and inserted the bouquet of lavender flowers.

Next to it I added the bottle stopper and the sentiment.

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

Christmas presents

Hi everyone!

New Saturday and new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

This week we would like to see the following colors on your cards

Teal - Purple - Lime

Somewhat unusual colors for Christmas, but in the end I quite like the result.

I splattered Distress Oxide over the sheet and adhered a small strip of patternd paper.

The little monkey hiding behind the Christmas tree is from Craft Emotions. It is colored with alcohol markers, fussy cut and adhered with foam pads. The baubles got purple glitter gel pen hightlights, which unfortunately doesn't show up in the photo. I added some presents (two of them are stickers) and stamped the sentiment.

News from the wild...

Hello everyone!
It's halftime at the Dream Factory and we're still in the wild. Our theme is Jumanji, and today I'm gonna show you another card from the jungle.

For my background I took a sheet of patterned paper - I have so much from this stuff and actually never use it! 

I die-cut different leaves and colored them with alcohol markers. Others are directly stamped on the panel you can see behind the leaves. The panel is a remnant from a background I made with the Gelli-plate. 

The animals are fabric-textured, padded stickers. The branch on which the bird sits is fussy cut.

The sentiment is stamped on a small strip, which is slightly curved and only glued at both ends. As a final touch I added three sequins to the card. I really like the "zebra look" of the patterned paper... 

...and on top of that, several of the black stripes are provided with green shimmering glitter, which can be seen very well on this view!

What do you think about it?

DotMCC - Challenge #16 - Reminder

Hello everyone!

I'm back with new cards to remind you of our current Repeat Day Challenge on DotMCC. 

This challenge is about repeating everything you like as often as you like. Cool - isn't it! 😉

I stamped flowers and leaves several times with green, grey and blue Distress Oxide on Bristol paper and cut it into strips of different widths. So I repeated flowers and stripes at the same time.

For this card I chose a black background and added a Happy Birthday... 

punched out of  gold cardstock

...and since I like to make cards, I repeated the process!! 😁

I made a second version on white background with some additional yellow flowers.

The sentiment is punched out of grey foam, backed with black cardstock and accompanied by a tiny "Happy".

There is ALWAYS a reason to celebrate make more cards! 😉

Happy Birthday

Hello everyone!

We have a new challenge at House of Cards!

This time we have a Birthday Theme and/or Colors. (see the inspiration photo below)

You can use only the colors or just the topic ....but you can also combine both!! - I tried to use theme and colors...

...and that's what came out!

First I stuck lot of Washi tape all over my card and added a small strip of embossed paper and black Washi tape at the bottom. Then I stamped the word Happy Birthday and the macaroons. After coloring I fussy cut them and pasted them on the card. I cut the card a bit smaller than the white base card and stuck it on top of it. Voilà!

HAVE FUN!

Stripes and/or Colors

Hello everyone!
Time for a new challenge at House of Cards!
Summer is here and as you can see, our inspiration photo (see below) shows a big parasol!

What interests us for this challenge are its stripes - but of course you can also use umbrellas and the colors of the photo for your creations! ;)

Here's my idea

I stuck masking tapes in regular distance on a white cardstock panel, 

then I sponged the colors (Stampin'Up) starting from the darker to the lighter. 

The cactus  image comes from the set "Au vert" by Scrap Plaisir. - It is colored with felt-tip pens. 

The sentiment is combined from Die cut letters and a tiny Stampin'Up stamp.

I added 3 sequins and few pearl pen dots for a bit more interest! ;)
