Katzelkraft Cat

Hello! It's Thursday, my day to share a Topflight Stamps Anything Goes creation with you! I made a funny thank you card featuring a kitty with attitude (cattitude). He is Ignace from Katzelkraft. I love his expression! I stamped him twice: once on a mottled background, and once on a piece of white cardstock. After fussy-cutting his body, and coloring it, I added him on top of the stamped image. The sentiment is from Hobby Art Ltd 'Hydrangea' stamp set. Along the bottom of the card, I added a strip of bricks from Craft Consortium Brick Textures paper pad. A couple strips of ribbon topped it off.

There are 10 Fat Cats from Katzelkraft, if you want to take a peek at the cuties, each with their own personality.

Supplies Used From Topflight Stamps Store:

Katzelkraft - The Fat Cats 9 - Ignace rubber stamp

Craft Consortium Brick Textures Paper Pad

Hobby Art Ltd. Hydrangea Clear Stamps

Thanks for joining me and have a blessed day!

Katzelkraft Bird

Hello! Today is Thursday, and it's my turn to share a project with you for Topflight Stamps! This week, we are highlighting Katzelkraft products. In the Topflight Stamps store, you'll find close to 300 Katzelkraft items, such a wide variety!

The set I used for today's card is called Ephemera. On a pale pink patterned piece of paper, I stamped the script image from the Ephemera set in a light ink. The bird from the same set was stamped in Lavinia Graphite ink on light colored cardstock, then fussy cut. A sentiment from Crafter's Companion Fabulous Fuchsia Loving Thoughts was stamped in the bottom left corner of a pink patterned paper.

I added a strip of lace overtop of the papers, dotted it with pearls, and added the pretty bird. Love those long tail feathers!

Supplies Used From Topflight Stamps Store:

Katzelkraft - Ephemera

Crafter's Companion - Fabulous Fuchsia Loving Thoughts

Thank you so much for looking!

Have a blessed day!

Design Team news!

Hellooo everyone! I've got some fun news: I have joined the Topflight Stamps design team!! Thank you to Donna and the rest of the team for having me. 😊 This week, we're featuring Anything Goes.

Since Christmas is not far in the rearview mirror, I am still in a holiday mood for cardmaking. At the end of this post, I've linked to the products I used today.

The first card uses several items from the Topflight Stamps store. I started with a black cardstock panel to mount on a wine-colored card base. Before mounting it, I used a PaperArtsy Stencil, PS317 with Spectrum Noir Glitter Paste, Candlelight Gold. Oh.My.Goodness. That glitter paste is amazing!! It spread so easily through the stencil, and gave such an elegant boost to the card. In real life, it is so sparkly. Gorgeous product. (Now I want more colors, lol)

While that dried, I started on the rest of the card. Using matte gold cardstock, I die cut a stitched rectangle with Crealies Rectangle Dies. Behind it, I added a layer of fun foam to lift it up from the card. On top of the rectangle, I used a pretty Eiffel Tower stamp from Katzelkraft - KTZ252 - Ephemera. I stamped it with Lavinia Graphite Dye Ink Pad - and trimmed it out with scissors, then glued onto the matte gold panel. The holly leaves and berries from Visible Image Christmas Robin stamp set were stamped with the same Graphite ink used above, trimmed with scissors, and colored with alcohol markers.

The second card also features PaperArtsy Stencil PS317 with Spectrum Noir - Glitter Paste - Candlelight Gold. Since I had the products on my desk, I made two black panels with the stencil and paste. I'm a little new to stencils, so I learned something. On the first black panel, the images came up crisp once I pulled away the stencil. I did not clean the stencil before using on the second panel. Lightbulb moment! The stenciled image was less crisp than the first. Still gorgeous though!! Since there were some areas that were not what I had hoped for, I found a Christmas gift tag in my craft stash and used it to cover some of the glittery paste. I like it, but now I know for next time. 😉

I've linked to everything I used below, with photos to help you visualize the gorgeous products used. And my Christmas card stash just got a little bigger, yay!
