Seasons Greetings

Hi everyone!

Ready for another 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge? The theme of this week is

Vintage Christmas

The woven background is made of various strips of silver and white glitter cardstock, metallic silver cardstock, wrapping paper as well as vellum and ribbons. Thanks for the idea, Barbara!

Santa and sentiment are embossed in silver. I stamped silver stars around the woven background and dabbed the edge of the card with silver as well. Santa is fixed with foam pads.

With this card I also want to join Isa's challenge "Silver and White" - hence all the silver, which gives the card a rather modern look. But Santa and the sentiment are vintage ;)

Have Fun!

Hi everyone!

Today starts the new challenge at the Dream Factory. 

The movie for this month is:

Spring Breakdown

 A pacy movie, with funny lines and cheesy look dominated by the neon hues of tropical drinks.

Keywords: Party, beach, drinks, fun, zesty colors,

I hope you like this ATC, a leftover piece of background (gel press) that I put stickers and washi tape on. The bamboo-like framing is a stamp from Stampin'Up. The ATC is backed with black cardstock.

Have Fun!!

Katzelkraft - Sometimes you learn

Hi everyone, 

I'm back with a new new Katzelkraft creation. 

I had a lot of fun with one of the pabos and two of the new stamp sets. The poor guy had to endure an experiment. I put him between the electric circuit and a light bulb. As you can see, his hair is bristling - which means it worked!! 😁

The background is patterned paper on which I stamped the circuit. Pabo and the light bulb I stamped on Bristol paper. The light bulb I sponged with Distress Oxide, Pabo is colored with alcohol markers. I cut them both out, glued them to the card and I added a strip of washi tape at the bottom. The sentiment is also from the new release. 

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

Hi everyone!

A little reminder about our "World Ocean Day" challenge at the Day of the Month Card Club...

A scrap of background paper I made with the gel press was just enough for this tag/bookmark.

I put two of the cute walrus from Stampin'Up on it. Amidst the waves (torn from background paper scraps) three small fish from the same set feel at home. I colored them, as well as the walrus, with alcohol markers. Stamped a sentiment from the same set and then lightly sponged the edges of the tag, using ink straight from the ink pad.

Hope you like it and maybe I could inspire you to join in. 

Have Fun!

Hi everyone!

New Saturday and new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 

This week we want to see following colors on your cards

Green + White

My card is very simple. I cut green paper (from a design paper pad) to the appropriate size. Stenciled the moon with white ink. Stamped the fir trees with Tranquil Tide (Stampin'Up) and added white ink splatters to the whole thing. To suggest snow, I glued a narrow strip of torn paper at the bottom. On the far left, I stamped a Katzelkraft sentiment in white and finally, adhered a Santa cut out of foam. Hope you like it!

Have Fun!!

Katzelkraft - You're Purrrfect!

Hello everyone, 

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft creation. I've been playing with Katzelkraft's new stamp set "Cats on Books", created by Ukrainian designer Liubka.  

I warned you, tags come to mind more and more often! 😁

I made this one according to the instructions of ISA's Live from last Saturday. In doing so, I replaced the stack of books under the cat with washi tape strips to stick to her challenge. I printed out colored designer paper in black and white to it use as base for the tag and sponged it with Peacock Feathers (Distress Oxide). 

Before adhering the washi tape strips, I stamped the left edge with a background stamp from one of the other new Katzelkraft stamp sets. The cats are colored with alcohol markers, cut out and glued on.

I didn't add a sentiment since there are already some on the washi tape at the bottom. 

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

The Ocean is my home

Hi everyone!

We have a new challenge at the Day of the Month Card Club! This month we are celebrating 

World Ocean Day

The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth’s surface, and being the largest ecosystem on our planet, it functions as a life support system for all its inhabitants.

World Ocean Day happens on June 8th , but that is not the only day you can dedicate to the ocean and the incredible role it plays in our lives. There are plenty of events that you can take part in throughout the year to support this cause.

We, at DotMCC, have decided to dedicate our new challenge to this day, where we hope many of you will join us!

I made three ACT's that make a nice little underwater scene when placed next to each other.

First, I lightly sponged the three ATC's with Distress Oxide Fired Brick and then stenciled with Chipped Sapphire and Mermaid Lagoon. Next, I colored in some of the stenciled images with colored pencils and alcohol markers (starfish, seashell and winkles). Stamped bubbles with Versamark and embossed them white.

To create the seabed, I added leftover snippets of homemade background paper to the base of the ATC's. I stamped the funny fish and plants (all from the same set) on Bristol paper and embossed them clear. Colored with alcohol markers, cut them out and glued them to the ATC's. I used the very small fish to frame the ATC's.

Hope I could inspire you and make you want to join in!

Hello everyone!

Ready for a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown? 

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

The Santa is from Stampin'Up and is colored with alcohol markers. As I wanted to let the beautiful designer paper show through, I backed him with a circle die-cut from light green vellum paper. The placement for the sentiment on the sketch was not quite ideal for my design, so I placed it under Santa. Hope you like it.

Have Fun with the challenge!
