Another quick card for the pile of last minute Christmas cards (although the masking took much longer than it had any right to do, I’m out of practice!).
Having only just got round to using these stamps, I ordered some more Katzelkraft in the That's Crafty Black Friday sale. I subsequently discovered that Katzelkraft ceased trading in the spring so I went back and ordered a few more! I’m really sad, not only because I’ve not long started building a little collection of their stamps but because one of the reasons for the closure is the cheap knock-offs flooding some of the better known online shopping platforms ☹️ If you know anyone tempted by such “bargains”, please try to talk them out of it, it’s killing genuine businesses, many of them small concerns run by passionately creative people who deserve to be properly rewarded for their time, energy and creativity.
So, with that off my chest — Santa hat from the accessories set stamped and masked, Sidoney stamped to suffer the ignominy of having to wear it and then everything coloured with pencils. Stamped sentiment with a few paint pen dots and my usual rounded corner to finish it off.
Stamps:
Chien Sidoney (Katzelkraft, no longer with us)
Les droles d’accessoire (Katzelkraft, no longer with us)
Sentiment from Foxy Christmas (Woodware)
Paper:
Kraft
Ink:
Brilliance by Tsukineko (Graphite Black)

Fantastic card! How I love their images! whoo hoo. Happy Holidays
Your little Santa dog looks great on that kraft card. Love the way you have done the background too. So sorry to hear about that company. I completely agree with you about being careful when ordering. I refuse to order anything unless I am 100% sure it is genuine. that means not going on those big sites. It is criminal. Anyway, I am glad to hear that you have now found the lovely we love stamping challenge, but it is time for me to step back a bit. Lots of other stuff to do xx
What an adorable Santa dog, Joanne - he looks so bashful and sweet! Love the background on kraft too!!
Another lovely card! Love the pencil on kraft again. I am totally with you about knock-off stuff. I recently introduced a friend to stamping and gave her a long talk about not buying from Temu etc. I've accidently bought a couple of fake dies from ebay and was so cross with myself when I realised what I'd done. Thanks for playing at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x
