Katzelkraft - The Naughty List

Hi everyone!

Today is Katzelkraft day! My card features another fun animal from the new collection and stamps from the very recent Christmas issue. (Christmas tree and sentiment)

Today also marks the start of the new Dream Factory challenge, so I had to juggle both!

The movie for this month is

The Santa Clause

It's all about Santa Claus and/or Christmas

Our little friend was probably not always very good, because he hopes on Rudolph's help...

Didn't want to make a Santa - I'll do that next time! ;)

I stamped the pensive cat, masked it and stamped the Christmas tree and the snowflakes (from last years release). Embossed the sentiment and cut it in three. Stamped "I hope" in the bubble and glued the embossed parts under the cat. I colored the cat with watercolors and filled the empty spots in the tree with rhinestones.

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

Hi everyone!

A little reminder about our "National Espresso Day" challenge at the Day of the Month Card Club...

Whether espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiato or just a good filter coffee ...

everything may be shown this month!!!

I found this cute little cup on Pinterest. I traced it by hand and colored it with watercolors. 

Have Fun!!

Hi everyone!

New Saturday and new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

This week we have a Color combo for you.

Blue - Red - White

First I sponged the circle with a homemade circle stencil and Peacock Feathers (Distress Oxide), then added the star stencil on top and sponged again with the same color. I removed the stencils, stamped the animals and fir trees with Night of Navy (Stampin'Up) and finished it off with the sentiment and stickers. Was quite simple to do!

Katzelkraft - Come to the dark side

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft project that I combined with our new Day of the Month Card Club challenge.

The theme of this new challenge is 

National Espresso Day

So the sentiment from Katzelkraft's  Be Batman set was a perfect fit! 

I split the sentiment in two and heat embossed the second half on the dark part, a leftover I had created with acrylics - just stamped some coffee beans on it. Added the quirky cat from the Pabos Aviateur set and a mug. Done! I colored the cat and the mug with watercolors. Hope you like it.

 See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)

Hi everyone!

Let's go for a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

As usual, we'll start the month with a sketch. (See below)

I tilted the sketch to get a landscape format. Inked the sky with PaperArtsy-Infusion Royal Blood and Chipped Sapphire (Distress Oxide). To create my winter scene, I used the beautiful "Winter Cabane" set from Katzelkraft's new Christmas release. The lower part of the card is made of white glitter cardstock scraps. The sentiment is heat embossed on velum and adhered with double-sided tape. I die cut Santa out of foam, colored him with alcohol markers and attached him with double sided adhesive tape as well. Finally, I added some blue accents for the snow.

Have Fun!!

Katzelkraft - Dear Santa

Hi everyone!

New Tuesday and new Katzelkraft project! 

For today's card I used one of the quirky dogs, designed by Dainius Šukys.

I am sure you have seen some fabulous creations with his funny animals by now!

I stamped the dog on a paper colored with PaperArtsy Infusions. Colored it additionally with watercolors and lightened some spots with a white pen. I doodled the areas for the sentiment, colored them slightly blue and stamped in the text. Inked the edges of the panel with black and adhered it to a blank card.

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