Card with Belgian flag, cat and globe

I was asked to make a card for my husband's colleague who is leaving for another job in Bruxelles.  

She likes Belgium (a lot), she has a grey cat and her job will be much about travelling in the future.

So I made this for her:

What I used:

Sizzix Thinlits die, Globe by Tim Holtz

Stampers Anonymous, Hashtags by Tim Holtz

Katzelkraft, Les chats russes

gold embossing powder

Ranger Archival ink, Jet Black

etc.

Thanks a lot for stopping by!!!

Stamped clementine box with the Katzelkraft dogs

Here is the second clementine box which was made with the Katzelkraft stamp, with "Les Chiens" - ou avec les chien :-)). 

You can find my previous blogpost here where I tell you the reason why and for who I prepared these boxes, I'm sorry but I don't want to bore you again with telling the whole story again.

Now let me show you the photos!

You can see that I used not just the Katzelkraft stamp set (Les Chien) but a PaperArtsy and a Tim Holtz stamp set as well.

On my previous blogpost you can find some instructions too if you would like to know how I made these boxes.

What I used:

Katzelkraft stamp, Les Chiens (KTZ161)

PaperArtsy stamp, Eclectica Kay Carley 02

Stampers Anonymous, Crazy Dog by Tim Holtz (CMS271)

etc.

Card with hot air balloon

I wanted to make a masculine card with a hot air balloon. And I was also eager to use book pages for this. With the combination of this two wishes I have made this:

(Akartam készíteni egy pasis kártyát léghajóval. És szintén szerettem volna könyvlapot használni. Így a két vágy kombinációjából megszületett ez a kártya:)

Wooden box with dogs of the Katzelkraft

Boite en bois avec les chiens de Katzelkraft

Here is my second make of another stamp set of Katzelkraft. Earlier I showed you a quite similar box with cats what I made for my youngest nephew. But his brother wanted a box with dogs.

To fulfill my nephew's wish I chose the dog stamp set by Katzelkraft.

If you click on the blogpost of the box with cats you can find a tutorial too.

Painted wooden box with stamped cats

Boite en bois avec les chats russes de Katzelkraft

This box was made one of my nephews. I don't know who this box will belong to but I'm sure that soon I have to make another one to avoid the fighting :-)

I chose cats for the box because around the house the boys have plenty of cats and yes, they have ginger cats too.

The stamps are "Les chats russes" from the Katzelkraft (KTZ152).

I painted white the lid of a big round box with acrylic paints. I put two layers. The diameter of the box is 20 cm.

After I stamped the images with Ranger Archival ink (Jet Black).

I made this ginger colours with mixing two colours (Sienna, Mandarine) of Marabu paint. Can you see that lazy cat who is watching the mouse with one eye?  Funny, isn't it?

In the following picture you can see that I painted grey the mouse and I coloured the tongues too.

With DecoArt chalky finish paint (a kind of grayish blue) I painted the lid. I know that I could put masking paper on the cats but I was too lazy to cut around perfectly four cats and a little mouse, so instead I was just careful around the images :-)
