Katzelkraft - Happy Easter

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day and I am back with a new inspiration :))

Today with an ATC.

Easter is just around the corner, so of course bunnies, eggs, chicks and whatever else needs to be used! 

The background was made with the gel press. Bunny, egg and pot are cut out and glued on. I colored them with watercolors. The ATC is backed with black cardstock. The text in the background is from AALL&Create. The Happy Easter sentiment is from Stampin'Up.

I think the pot is a little too small to hide the big egg! LOL

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

Loads of Joy

Hello everyone!

Ready for a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown? 

This week we have a sketch challenge for you (see below)

Nothing is lost! The proof is this 3D image I made a good 15 years ago. 

The background was also waiting for weeks to be used. 

Old and new have finally met and fit together quite well in my opinion...

The sentiment was already part of the image. Unfortunately, the vellum made it a bit fuzzy, so I had to redraw it with a fine permanent marker.

ATC - Der kleine Fuchs und seine Freunde

Hi everyone!

Just a little reminder about our current challenge at the Dream Factory. 

The movie for this month is

The Big, Bad Fox and Other Tales...

a fun French cartoon 

about a a Fox that thinks it's a chicken, a Rabbit that acts like a stork, 

and a Duck who wants to replace Santa Claus.

The keyword for this challenge is: Easter with one of the animals mentioned - which I'm sure won't be difficult!

Of course, you can also get inspiration from the poster or the movie itself! click

I had a piece of a stenciled background left over - just big enough to make this ATC. 

I sponged the edges with Fossilized Amber (Distress Oxide) and backed it with black cardstock. Then stamped the birdie, mushrooms and some text before I added the fox. 

Was really super easy to do! Hope you like it.

Katzelkraft - A Merry Christmas from Mr. Grumpy

Hi everyone!

Tuesday is my Katzelkraft day. For this week I made a Christmas card with one of the grumpy penguins and "Les Bordures".

One of my favorite techniques for backgrounds is sponging. I topped this one off with splatters and different stamps to give it a little more pizzazz.

I stamped a script first, then the snowman (AALL&Create) on top. So it looks like I stamped it on an old book page. I colored the snowman and penguin and cut them out.

I framed the card with a border from the "Les Bordures" set and adhered the snowman, penguin and hat.

Finally, I added the "snow". It is made of crumpled and torn watercolor paper on which I glued white glitter.

One of the sentiments is cut into labels and sticked on, the other is stamped directly onto the card - next to the penguin.

I'm sure you like this grumpy guy :)) - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)

Waterfall card - Glory to the Newborn King

Hello everyone!

Ready for a new 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge?  This week we are asking you for a

Moving Element

- something on the card front that moves, 

for example a flap, tag or hanging embellishment

I decided to go with a waterfall card. It's easy to do and always looks good!

The background is made with an embossing folder that cuts at the same time.

I then stamped the images and texts on the small squares, which are backed with Merry Merlot and Crumb Cake cardstock. The large text on the first square is silver embossed.

I die cut a hole in the flap and attached a piece of brown ribbon to make it easier to pull out.

Here are two closer views

...and a video showing how it works.

Katzelkraft - Monochromatic

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day and I am back with a new inspiration :))

Today with a tag...

For this tag, I followed the instructions given in ISA's live, so that's why it is monochromatic green. 

I created the background with Rustic Wilderness and Mowed Lawn (Distress Oxide) and three different stencils. I lightened some zones with bleach, recognizable by the bluish looking spots. Stamped grids, dots and numbers. Sponged the edges with Black Soot (Distress Oxide).

The bunny and the flies I stamped on gel print scraps, cut them out and pasted them on the tag. 

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

The Holly and the Ivy

Hi everyone!

New Saturday and new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

The theme of this week is

Holly and/or Ivy

A friend recently gifted me this beautiful stamp. I never thought I would need it so soon!

I colored the image with alcohol markers, fussy cut it and glued it on patterned paper. Added the sentiment and three enamel dots. I cut the panel a little smaller than the blank card and glued it on - that was it! 

The coloring took most of the time! Hope you like it.
