Wintertime

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

The theme of this week is

Winter Countryside

For this peaceful winter scene, I used Katzelkraft's beautiful "Winter Cabin" and "Winter Wonderland" stamp sets. 

I stamped the log cabin on Bristol paper, colored it with Alohol markers, cut it out and glued it on a gel print background. Stamped the trees and the fence directly onto the gel print. Embossed the sentiment in white. 

I mixed gesso with white glitter and used it to cover the ground and the branches of the trees. While the gesso was still wet, I added more glitter. - It truly looks like real snow!  

As a final touch, I splattered on thick snowflakes with white ink. Hope you like it!

Have Fun!

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory challenge.

The movie for this month is

Elliot, the littlest Reindeer

Anything that is Christmassy or wintry and features a reindeer or a stag goes.

Elliot isn't actually a reindeer at all, but a little pony whose big dream is to one day pull Santa's sleigh alongside the best reindeer. ....Do you really have to be a reindeer to work for the legendary Santa Claus?

I actually wanted to make a pony dressed up as a reindeer for fun, but the truth is I don't have a pony at all - Hahaha!  

Well, it'll be a foam reindeer then!

I don't remember how I made the background, I think I experimented with alcohol ink...

I stuck silver washi tape and a strip of embossed paper to the bottom edge of the panel. Stamped the fir trees and glued the die cut trees on. Splattered them with gesso. 

I die-cut the reindeer once from black foam and a second time from pinkish paper. Glued both parts together and stuck the reindeer next to the fir trees. I punched a few stars out of washi tape, glued them on and outlined them with black liner. Added three pieces of washi tape for the sentiment and outlined them in black too.

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft card. 

I'm combining this post with the Day of the Month Card Club, where it's time to remind you of the current candy-themed challenge.

I stamped the funny mouse from the "Happiness" set on Bristol paper, colored it with alcohol ink markers and cut it out. It took its place on a gel print I recently made. The bottom part was already green, but I wanted to jazz it up with a little lemon-lime twist (SU). The Lollipop strip is a leftover piece from a similar card I made last year. 

The sentiment is from Stampin'Up. It says: Treat yourself!

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

Hello everyone!

Today starts a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

I hope you enjoy this color combination....

Kraft - Black - White

I cut two different sized sheets of Kraft card and placed the smaller one in the middle of the larger one. Stamped the pine cones and embossed them in white. Stamped the sentiment. Backed the small panel with black cardstock and glued it in the center of the large one. Adhered the finished panel to a slightly larger blank card.

Have Fun!

Katzelkraft - Life is short...

Hi everyone!

I am back with a new Katzelkraft card using one of the fun crocodiles from the new release.

Today also marks the start of a new challenge at Day of the Month Card Club, so I've included the theme in my Katzelkraft card.

This month DotMCC is celebrating

National Candy Day

Anything sweet, sticky, chocolaty, calorific and colorful goes.

I stamped the Crocodile and cakes onto Bristol paper. Colored them with alcohol ink markers and cut them out. Sponged and stenciled a green spot (Mowed Lawn - Distress Oxide) on a blanc card and glued the crocodile with the cakes next to. Added the saying made up of Katzelkraft and Stampin'Up stamps. Finished with a strip of washi tape at the bottom.

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

Gifts from Santa Claus

Hi everyone!

New Saturday and new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

As usual in the first week of the month we have a sketch for you. (see below)

Christmas is getting closer and closer and in a few weeks we will be sending out the first cards!!! Hopefully your pile of Christmas cards is already well grown! - If you're still missing some, there's a new 52CCT challenge every Saturday to inspire you ;)

For this week's card, I slightly spongeded a beige cardstock panel with white ink. Stamped the ladder and embossed the panel.  I stamped the Santa Claus on Bristol paper and colored it with alcohol ink markers. Cut it out and put it on the ladder. To suggest a little snow I added some black and white accents to the birch trees. I finished off by placing a little heart (sticker) in Santa's hand.
