Bugaboo New Release

Good Morning, crafters!

Look what a fun new stamp release we have at 

Catch the Bug Challange Blog:

It is called Houswork Vacuum.

Here my card. The image comes with another sentiment, but

I liked this sentiment by Create with TLC so much.

Don't you think we women need to shine more?!

I made the background with these two stencils.

The square one is by Funky Fossil and the stars

are by Tum Holtz.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting.

If you give a crafter a cookie #144

Today I play for a new challenge I found at

If you give a crafter a cookie blog.

It is to honour the medical teams that works so hard

to help all the people that caught this terrible virus.

I made a big card today.

The size of this card is 8.25 x 5.75 inch,

so a lot of people can sign the card.

For this card I used Stampin'Up! design paper

and an image by JessicaLynnOriginal called

Dr. Brentwood Owl.

I colored Dr. Brentwood with Stampin'Blends.

The sentiment comes with the digital inage.

Fresly Made Sketches #441

Here my contribution to this weeks sketch on the

Freshly Made Sketches Blog.

For my card  I use a new Brentwood image by

Jessicalynnoriginals and you can find

Dr. Brentwood HERE.

I found some wonderful design paper online,

colored Dr. Brentwood with Stampin'Blends.

The red circle is a die and Dr. Brentwood is cut out by hand.

Club Scrap Sentiment

As I still work from home, I am going on making 

one card a day with a Club Scrap sentiment.

Because it is by now card #72 , I decided to make

a Pinterest album with all the cards in one

place for you to see: https://pin.it/4AsYnHa

This is my card for today:

I used a rubber stamp from the set

Expedition and that set is still available HERE.

I started out with stencil #1 to color the house.

Then I used stencil #2 #3 and #4 to create the 

card. After all the stenciling I used the stamps.

The heart and the swirls is from Ivory Elegance

(from 12/2006).

I also use a little gemstone in the middle of the heart.

I share all my cards on instagram.

If you want to follow me, I am 4hetty.

Fun with Distress

I keep on making my #stayathome cards

with the sentiments of 21 years of Club Scrap.

I have been watching all of the Tim Holtz

Facebook Live video's

and have been inspired a lot as well

as learning a lot.

Today I started with a few colors of distress 

Oxide spray for the background.

Next comes the texture paste through the holes

of the Fizz stencil (Club Scrap). When the stencil

is off, I sprinkled the paste with the new distress glaze.

Here you see  the background after the paste has dried

 and is heat embossed.

The sentiment is from Rhapsody (3/2007), a vintage

kit from Club Scrap as well as the background stamp.

Decoration with beats and a metal coin (with 

distress glaze). In the old days we got a little

box of beads and findings with the scrap kit.

Still have some left.

Thank you for looking,

Humour me Wednesday

Hello Stamping Friends,

Have you had your laugh today?!

Well take a look at all the cards on the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

Did you know that on June 20 it is

Ugliest Dog Day? You can read about it HERE.

Featuring Bugaboo Crabby Dog.

Well, do you think he is a contender?

The background is a piece of wooden design paper

and the blue circle is embossed.

The stars are a ribbon and the 

sentiment is from the crazy bird words by Tim Holtz.

Coloring is done with Stampin'Blends

(these are markers by Stampin'Up!).

Tuesday Morning Sketches #559

This week it is my turn again to share a card I made

for the Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog.

I started out with the design paper (SU!) and the ribbon

and only a sentiment had to be added, 

but I found that too boring.

Than I came across the bird cage between my scraps

and just had to add it to the card as a more interesting 

focal pont for the card. The bird cage is a die by Tim Holtz.

The birds are punched out (an oldie by SU!)  and

decorated with a few silver gemstones.

The sentiment is a rubber stamp by Tim Holtz

from the Glorious Bouquet Set CMS 325.

Anything but a Card: Gift Box

Happy Monday!

Anything but a Card is the challenge on the

Catch the Bug Callenge Blog.

Today I have a little gift box for you and

of course we start the week with

 a wonderful cup of coffee.

I was inspired by a tutorial I found 

The tutorial of the gift box was found HERE.

Only this box was for large tealight candles.

The ones I have here (in The Netherlands) did not fit.

So I had to addapt anyway.

Then i got the idea for the coffee box.

Now I used a base of 7 x 7,5 inch cardstock

and the scrore lines are the same.

Fotr the inage I used

Stella Morning - touch coffee.

Stella is colored with Stampin'Blends.

The ribbon is behind the  sentiment

(see the tutorial video how it is created).

Inside the box two instant coffee sticks.

Thank you for looking.

Stay safe

and keep crafting!
