Sunday Scrap page

Op zondag laat ik op de

 Michael Strong yahoogroep  

altijd een scrap pagina zien.

Deze is het vandaag geworden.

Hou je ook van Michael Strong stempels, en heb je ze ook,

dan zou ik het leuk vinden

als je een kijkje op de groep komt nemen.

Je ziet hier de alphabet stempels en de mini bloem stempel.

 Je kunt ze HIER vinden.

On Sunday I always make a scrap page for the

Michael Strong Yahoogroup.

This is the page for today. Do you like |Michael Strong stamps and do you have some of these stamp yourself, than please come over and have a look at the group.

It is a group for sharing and getting more inspiration.

For this page I used the alphabet stamps and

the mini-flower. You can find the stamps HERE.

De bloemen zijn met verschillende kleuren embossing

poeder gedaan: goud, koper en rood.

The flowers have been embossed with multiple colors:

gold, copper and red.

Het woord is hier opgebouwd uit verschillende lagen.

Eerst zijn de letters gestempeld en embossed in goud.

Daarna uitgeponsd met een ovale pons en het witte papier met een

ovale scalloped pons. De rode vorm is gedaan met een van de

tag mallen van een tag set van nestabillities.

Alle papieren die je ziet zijn van Club Scrap.

The word friends is build up in layers.

At first the letters are stamped and embossed in gold.

Than I used an oval and an oval  scalloped punch.

The red die is from a tag set by nestabillities.

All paper is by |Club Scrap.

Have a creative day!

met de bloemenstempel van Michael Strong.

Here you see the inside of the card, where

I also stamped with the Michael Strong mini flower.

Hier de bloem nog eens van dichtbij. Je ziet hier goed

de verschillende kleuren embossing poeder die ik heb gebruikt.

Ook zie je hier het bloemetje dat ik in het midden heb gebruikt.

Het was eerst wit, maar ik heb er creme de rouge

Glimmer mist opgespoten.

colors of the embossing powder I have used.

Here is the new sketch by the Techno Stamper.

Ik heb de mini bloem en vogel stempel gebruikt van Michael Strong.

Ik heb me laten inspireren door de nieuwste techniek op

het blog van Michael Strong: Faux Mosaic en

in de enjoymichaelstrongyahoogroup:

multicolor embossing techniek.

Je ziet dit toegepast bij de bloemen.

Ik heb zilver, baby pink and hot pink embossing poeder gebruikt.

For this card I used the mini flower and the mini bird

by Michael Strong. I was inspired by the latest technique

on Michael's  blog: Faux Mosaic and also

the latest technique we have learned

in the enjoymichaelstrongyahoogroup:

multicolor embossing technique.

You see this done on the flowers.

I used silver, baby pink and hot pink embossing powder.

Michael Strong BLOG HOP

Blog Hop

Theme: Wedding/Valentine

Here we are with another circular blog hop

with Michael Strong stamps.

You came here from

Heidi's Blog

and here is some more inspiration for you.

Just couldn't resist making a card for each theme.

One for a wedding and one for Valentine.

But....

they are also the same card, just a different

color and a different sentiment.

Here is the wedding card:

I took out all my tools:

the heart is cut out with the cricut (Storybook)

the background is embossed through the cuttlebug

the sentiment is on a cut out die with a nestabillity

The stamps I used are the mini flower

and the mini bird embossed in white

on white paper.

The sentiment is printed with the computer.

For the Valentine card I did everything the same:

only in red and gold, instead

of white and gold.

For the sentiment I used Michael's word stamp and the

alphabet stamps.

As this is a blog hop there is some more inspiration

on Herma's blog.

Here is a list of all the participants:
Michael Strong
Thea
Trena

Dude Time Doodles Inspirational Challenge

This month's theme at the

Dude Time Doodles Challenge Blog is

anything *BUT* a card

Some of you are cringing at the thought. "All I do is cards." This challenge is designed to get you out of your comfort zone and thinking outside the fold...ahem, I mean dugout. Okay, outside the box!! The Design Team took the challenge and man, oh man, they really out did themselves! Go to the DTD Challenge Blog and see all the delicious inspiration.

And here is mine:

I made this tool/candy altered altoid tin box for my DH

for Valentine (it is hidden in the closet now).

For this project I used

Cole Miner digital design stamp
by Bonibleux Digital Designs

and the sentiment is by Create with TLC

So I took 2 empte altoid tin boxes and linked them together

on the inside with 2 bolts and nuts.

Fotr this I hammered two holes in the bottom one and the top of

the other box with a big nail.

The handle I got at a hardware store.

Then I dinished my soft dring out of a can and vut it appart.

I drew the lid of the box on paper and than cut it out of the metal can.

As you can see I run it through my cuttlebug with this gars embossingfolder.

Afterwards I added some black stazon ink to make it look worn.

I colored the cole miner with copic markers.

The sentiment is printed with the computer and cut out with a punch.

Also a larger circle in black is punched out and they

are attached by some foam tape. In between

I added some wire to make it look like a bomb.

I added some bolts in the top and some candy in the bottom

to show you it can be used for all kinds of small objects.

THE RULES

1. Use the creations of the Design Team as inspiration.

   Remember, anything BUT a card.

2. You are not required to use BDD images although it would

    make us really really happy and giggle a lot if you did!

3. MUST be a masculine themed card, you can use humor,

    innuendo, be a little naughty, sarcastic, but it has got to be for a DUDE!

4. Be sure to use the InLinkz on the DTD Challenge Blog to submit your creation.

You have one week to link up your projects. We will post the TOP THREE WINNERS and the TOP BLOG WINNER right here on January 25th at 12 PM CST

Have a creative day!

Kalender/ Calendar

Elk jaar begin ik opnieuw met elke maand een kalender pagina

met foto's die ik die maand gemaakt heb.

Hier is de eerste pagina van 2011

met eendjes op het ijs in de Amstel.

Ook hier heb ik net als bij de kaart met het konijn

een patroon gebruikt.

Dit keer van een eend en uitgesneden, gesponst

en daarna met de circle stempel van Michael

Strong er overheen gestempeld.

De winter stempel is van Hero Arts.

Deze kalenderpagina is op A4 formaat.

Every year I start a new calendar with monthly pages.

I use pictures that I have taken that month.

Here you see some ducks on ice in the river near us.

I used the same technique as with the rabbit

card: a temple of a duck this time,

cut it out and sponge ink on the paper and then

I stamped over it with Michael Strong's circle stamp.

The winter stamp is by Hero Arts.

The size of the page is 8,5 x 11 inch.

Have a creative day!

Nog een chinese nieuwjaarskaart/ Chinese New Year card

Dit is mijn kaart voor de uitdaging op de

 Michael Strong stamp group.

Je moest een kaart voor het Chinese nieuwjaar maken en

die hebben het jaar van het konijn.

Voor deze uitdaging heb ik de frame en de cirkel stempel van Michael Strong

gebruikt. Het konijn is gemaakt met bijgevoegd patroon.

De binnenkant uitgesneden en met inkt eerst gesponst en daarna

met dezelfde inkt en de circkel stempel erover heen gestempeld.

De tekst is met de computer gedaan. Het font kun je gratis ophalen

 bijdafont.com en heet wonton.

This is my card for the challenge on the

Michael Strong stamp group.

It is to make a card for the Chinese New Year

and as it is the year of the rabbit,

you know why you see one on the card.

For this card I used the frame and the circle stamp by Michael Strong.

The rabbit is made with the template you see below.

I cut out the inside and sponged som ink on the paper

and then with the same ink I stamped the circle stamp

on top. The sentiment is made with the computer

with a free font at dafont.com and is called wonton.

Als je op onderstaande foto klikt kun je de kaart van

dichtbij bekijken.

If you click on the picture you can see a more close up

look of the card.

Have a creative day!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 133

Here my card for the first

Penny Black Saturday challenge in 2011.

The theme for the challenge is:

"New beginnings"

I made a card for someone who just moved into

her new home with her cat.

I used the stamp Wiskers& Fur 2883J by Penny Black,

the houses are from a set "welcome to the neighberhood"

by Stampin'Up and the letters are from

an unknown set of clear stamps.

Here you can see a close up of the vocal point of the card.

I used a paper piecing technique on the cat stamp.

Do you see the little key charm? A fun detaile over

the letter "o"of the word "home".

Have a creative day!
