Let's get backed!

Hi everyone!

Time for a quick reminder on our current Day of the Month Card Club challenge

We're celebrating

National Gingerbread Cookie Day

...and we want to see lots of them on your cards and crafts.

I recently won some fun digital images from Conjurer of Dreams, 

a new monthly “Anything Goes” challenge blog with an optional theme for each month. 

Today I printed out one of these images and used it for my DotMCC reminder card...

Originally the background of the image is rather cyan/grey, but I wanted it to be green, 

so I changed the color before printing.

Have Fun!!

Hi everyone!

Today marks the start of a new challenge at the Dream Factory 

This month's movie is

Christmas ...Again?!

Yes, it's almost Christmas again! 

We hope you haven't made all your 

Christmas cards and Christmas crafts yet 

so that there are still a few left for our challenge! :D

Anything Goes: Christmas + opt. Funny Cards

For this ATC, I was quite inspired by the colors of the movie poster. 

I colored the image with alcohol ink markers. Cut it out and glued it onto some leftover "alcohol-ink-experimental paper" I found in my stash. I arranged the sentiment alternately in white and black, as I found only white too bright and only black too bold.

Katzelkraft - Don't stop believin'

Hi everyone!

I'm back with Katzelkraft Christmas card number three. 

Christmas is just a few weeks away! 

So far I've only made three cards because I've taken a break from making Christmas cards this year. 

Before I used to make one card a week! - I really needed a time out from these cards! 

...never thought the break would last this long!

I stamped the Christmas tree with Tranquil Tide (Stampin'Up) and masked it. Stamped the girl and masked it too. Sponged the card with Speckled Egg and then stenciled stars with Chipped Sapphire and letters with Speckled Egg (Distress Oxide).

I colored Exhale (the girl) with watercolors and the Christmas balls with glitter gel pens. The sentiment is from Stampin'Up.

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

Gingerbread Baking Co

Hi everyone!

Today starts a new challenge at the Day of the Month Card Club! 

This month we are celebrating 

 National Gingerbread Cookie Day

...and we want to see lots of them on your cards and crafts.

Gingerbread is one of my favorite cookies. 

I love the smell of spices and honey that fills the house while baking,

....and when I see everything Santa has already baked, my mouth waters.

I recently bought a pad of pre-cut images. Actually, I'm not really the vintage type, but the illustrations were so beautiful that I couldn't resist. And because they are so beautiful, I printed out copies and then fussy cut them. That way I keep the originals intact.

I glued the images, cut out of different sheets, onto a background taken from another pad. - So no stamps were used this time. 

Happy backing ;)

Katzelkraft - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Hi everyone!

I'm back with Katzelkraft Christmas card number two. 

The brand has released new stamps a few months ago. I used two from the Maryse Carrier collection and combined them with a few older stamps from Katzelkraft.

I only used the animals from the Maryse Carrier stamps. 

The Christmas tree and the floor are stamped on directly, everything else is cut out and glued on. 

I colored with alcohol ink markers and glitter pens (Christmas balls). The sentiment is heat embossed. The top of the tree is adorned by a star (sticker).

Hope you like this little Christmas scene. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft creation! ;)
