Katzelkraft "Véhicule" tag

2012-01-28T13:24:00.003+01:00

I might just speak french one day, being on the Design Team for

Katzelkraft. LOL

Most of the times I don't understand a word on the DT Facebook page.

Luckily I am not the only one....

I just assume that when other DT members post a french message, I

don't need to know what it says... hehe

****

This transportation set of stamps is just my thing, didn't expect that
though LOL

I stamped the brick wall with gesso. and with some distressing inks.

I started with a piece of scrapbookpaper, although you wouldn't
recognize it after all the distressing etc.

Hope you like it!

I am entering this as DT-piece in the new challenge (coming tomorrow) on Fashionable Stamping challenges. Any guesses on the theme?? Not vintage, not transportation, nor travel...

to help a little bit 'Make it a ... thing'

Challenge on Studio L3 - Your Favorite New Technique from 12 Tags 2011

2012-01-11T22:34:00.000+01:00

I am entering this in the challenge on Studio L3

I used a technique Tim used on the tag on day 4.

His step 39 : fill in the cut out with a generous amount of glossy accents basically filling the space like resin.

Card I made from an ugly Doodle Unleashed page

2012-01-10T16:44:00.000+01:00

I was really frustrated, so stopped before I started doodling.

The colors were so dull, and I decided to start over, later on. So I cut it up in pieces.

You can see what I did with it on a card. There's more to come.

A new year - a new challenge at Fashionable Stamping challenges.

We have an easy peasy challenge to start off the New Year – it’s … Anything goes with your new stash.

Just be sure to add some stamping on your creation!

I bought this set from Crafty Individuals a few weeks ago, so I decided to use it for this challenge.

This was a real challenge for me, because I do like to use colors.

I made this tag on a Make and Take at ART JOURNEY, with Liesbeth.

- I am also entering this in the challenge on The Artistic Stamper, which is vintage

- and the Simon Says Stamp and Show - something old, something new (the theme is old 'vintage', and the stamps are new LOL).

2011-12-31T10:46:00.000+01:00

I loved making this one.. ..

On this tag I worked with beeswax. I heated the beeswax a little and then stamped in it, to get some structure!

****

See the glimmer? That's perfect pearls rubbed into the beeswax to

accentuate the structure where I stamped in it .

I also added some pearls to the dragonflies... gold and blue.

A HAPPY and crafty New Year !!

A SO different card!

2011-12-19T22:34:00.001+01:00

I decided to make a SO different card to what I'm used to making... I think I succeeded! LOL

I used scrapbookpaper (from which I diecut flowers for other cards: I'll show these later) and a die to create this.

STAMPS USED:

Hero Arts.

Katzelkraft's got beautiful postal stamps..

2011-12-17T07:00:00.000+01:00

I LOVE this travel set from Katzelkraft...
I'm going to be using these stamps a lot, especially the text ones...

I LOVE texts.....
and the postage ones are also gorgeous!

(It looks a bit yellowish here, in real life it's more greenish!)

Apart from this being my DT post for Katzelkraft (also on the Katzelkraft blog today!), I am entering this card in the Stampman challenges also, with theme a technique you've not used before.

I used a technique I wanted to try for some time now, and I am sure I will be using it a lot in future. It's FUN! It's about using plastic foil over wet inks to get a very unique background. On this background it shows more with the blues than with the green. It might be because I did not use a glossy cardstock, too absorbant maybe...

and... I am also entering it as DT piece in the Fashionable Stamping Challenges, for the new challenge which will be posted tomorrow, the theme is..... no, I am not going to tell you... it's a secret until tomorrow. Come join us!

HOW TO:

Spray the background with two colors (home-made) pearl spays, and immediataly cover it with plastic foil. Leave it to air dry; this is the hard part LOL

Stamp the eiffel tower with a solvent ink. Stamp the text with Versamark and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Stamp the other stamps, also with a dark brwn solvent ink.

Distress the edges with a paper distresser, and sponge it with a dark brown dye ink.

Tear the edge in some places and accentuate it with a darkbrown marker.

(As you can see here, I used the stamp with the postage stamp and address in two stages, by inking it twice, leaving the top or bottom part without ink.)

Go stamp - ENJOY!

2011-12-10T09:00:00.000+01:00

I used goosebumps to get the snowy effect.

****

a close-up:

HOW TO:
Use post it notes ( I used the overall sticky ones) and stick it to the edges of your cardstock, after you've torned it in half to create a nice torned edge on your card.
Spray Goosebumps onto the cardstock. Stamp the tree stamp with StazOn timber brown, and sponge the entire card.
Stamp a text on the side where you stamped the tree in the same color you used for the sky... I used distress inks for this.
Take the post-it-notes-frame off the Cardstock. Make a doodle around the card as seen on the cards, and
draw some silhouettes of birds with a black pen.
That's it!

That custom made stamp pad was the trigger me to start making a loooooooot of

christmas cards afterwards...

There was enough ink in it to just stamp away.

There's 22 of them!! (not exactly the same).

In the end I didn't really like finishing them off LOL

I normally don't make two exactly the same cards, but for christmas

cards, I'm OK with it.

HOW TO:
Make the old wood into a heart shape. Paint it with a white acrylic paint and after drying, sand it, to reveil the wood in places. Stamp the images on a white piece of napkin paper, color the images with watercolor pencils. Cut it out. Adhere the text with decoupage, allow to dry, and paint over it with watered-down white acrylic paint, to fade it down a little bit. Adhere the images with decoupage as well. .Sponge the edges with Distress ink #tea dye. Make some color accents on the text and the edges of the hearts. with the same watrecolor pencils...

HAVE FUN!

CARD TO GO WITH IT

THE GIFT SET!

The base is watercolor paper: Spray it with two colors Colorwash, lettuce and denim.

Stamp the collage clock stamp with a similar color green, to just stand out, but being part of the background.

Stamp the pocket watch with a solvent brown ink, and (quickly!) pour some clear embossing powder on; heat set it.

Stamp the same pocketwatch in a blueish color, after you've masked the first stamped image. Stamp the text with a solvent brown ink also. Stamp the text in a blueish color as well, to get a shadow.

Color the watch with the same blue as you stamped with, and add some additional color with a rust-color watercolorpencil.

Only at this stage I attached the paper to the outside of the booklet, and trimmed the edges. Color the edges with brown solvent ink.

The stamping for the card is the same as for the booklet.

STAMPS USED:

Le Temps stamps from Katzelkraft

Katzelkraft day for me!

2011-11-12T05:30:00.000+01:00

I started by stamping the boat with StazOn Timber Brown.
Color the image with some watercolor pencils.

Mask the image, and also tear some post-it notes to create a frame around the CS- see photo above.

Spray a little bit goosebumps on the CS.

Sponge the background with 'stormy sky' and 'pine needles' distress inks.

Cover the parts with petroleum jelly you don't want acrylic paint on , and paint some white acrylic paint over the entire piece. When dry, take a dry cloth and wipe away the petroleum jelly, which will also take away parts of the acrylic paint. Take the masking off and adhere it to a card.

STAMPS USED :

I made three candles - to brighten the darker days of December !

I have always wanted to give this a try, so now was the time... One thing less on my TO DO list.. LOL

I used blotting-paper to stamp the images from the Fleurs stamp set on, with a darkbrown solvent ink. I coloured them with watercolor pencils, and distressed the bottom line with green and brown. Tear the top line off the blotting paper.

****

Glue the blotting paper onto the candle with a glue stick, just to get it to stay in place.
Heat it with a heattool to melt the outer part of the candle (just a little bit!), and smooth out the blotting paper onto the candle.

I think I am going to make lots more to give away as a gift!

Saturday is.... Katzelkraft day for me ... tra-la-la-la !

2011-10-15T07:30:00.000+02:00

I used the stampset Physalis kzt5302 from Katzelkraft for this background.

Can you remember this card I showed a few weeks ago?

This one is its sister. As you can see, they are reverses of each other.
How's that possible?

This one has been made from the scrappaper from the first one, you know, the piece of paper I used to iron the embossing off?!'That's why!!

I sponged that with distress inks, brushed water on the top part of the background and let it run down the bacground. This is the result.

As with the first card, I didn't want to cover the background, as it's got such a lot of interest by itself... so, I just colored scrapbook twine, made some knots, attached all of it to a CS, and ..... voila! Finito!

O, yes, nearly forgot, this card has also got a little sister, an ATC, made from the leftover of this scrappaper... LOL. You can see the ATC here.

the colouring... Only the owl itself has been stamped with StazOn timber brown.

It was really hard to catch the soft colours on a photograph...a scan was even worse!
