Baby onesies

Omdat ik een baby kaartje nodig had,

 heb ik maar gelijk een roze en een blauwe gemaakt.

Leuk he zo'n babyhemdje als kaartje.

Hierbij het patroon.

Ik heb papier van Club Scrap gebruikt

evenals het konijntjes stempeltje.

De letters zijn van Michael Strong.

Because I needed a babycard.

I made thes onesies. I quickly made

a blue and a pink one (you never know

what you need). The template is here for you.

I used Club Scrap paper and rabbit stamp

and the letters are by Michael Strong.

Have a creative day!

Dude Time Doodles new release BLOG HOP

I guess you arrived here from Ruth's blog 

and are dying to know what new stamp I have on my blog

for the

Dude Time Doodles Challenge Blog

Well, this is rather fishy!

It is Ollie Octopus and he is so much

fun to use for all kinds of occasions.

Like for a love card. He has so many arms,

woudn't it be great to be hugged by 8 arms?

So much love around you.

For this card I also used a Martha Steward

border punch, some heart nestabillities and a

text by Create with TLC.

The little hearts have been run trough the cuttlebug.

 But I have some more ideas for you.

I came across another blog with

a wonderful idea for the octopus.

Take a look her at Mel's blog:

http://melstampz.blogspot.com/2008/05/water-window-card-tutorial-using-hair.html

So what you see in the window is hairgel with stickles

to give the impression of water.

The background paper is made with watercolor paint

(the cheap kind your children use).

When the paint is dry, stamp bubbles with versamark

and use clear embossing posder of white embossing powder.

Bubble stamps are by smARTworks.

When finished heating the embossing powder

color again with watercolor paint.

When everything is dry, paper is run through

the cuttlebug.

When you open the card you see Ollie is

colored with copic markers.

On the top of the card as well as on the inside

you see some sentiments by Create with TLC.

Here you see a close up of the window with the hairgel.

Are you in for some more inspiration with some new digital stamps?

Than hop over to:

 Boni

Medallion

Op allerlei blogs kom ik het tegen:

een medallion op een kaart.

Dat komt natuurlijk door de mal van Tim Holtz.

Als je die nu niet hebt, hoe maak je het dan?

Daarvoor kun je allerlei tips vinden

als je in google: medallion tutorial tikt.

Ik heb o.a. deze gevonden:

http://stephdevlin.typepad.com/scrappy_chic_room/2010/11/medallion-loves-tutorial.html

hier zie je hoe je met een pons een

prachtige medallion kunt maken.

On all kinds of blogs I see them:

medallions on cards.

I think this is because of the medallion die

by Tim Holtz.

But what idf you do not have this?

Well if you type: medallion tutorial in google

they pop up everywhere.

I found this one:

http://stephdevlin.typepad.com/scrappy_chic_room/2010/11/medallion-loves-tutorial.html

and here you see how to make a medallion

with a border punch.

Met mijn strand border heb ik deze strook van 3,5 x 28 cm

gemaakt en in het lesje zie je precies

 hoe je er een medallion van maakt.

With my beach border I made this strip of 1,5 x 11 inch

and in the tutorial you see how easily

 you can turn this into a medallion.

Hier het resultaat van dichtbij.

Bovenop het medallion zie je drie mini schelpen van

 Michael Strong geembossed met verschillende

 kleuren embossing poeder.

Op de achtergrond van de kaart heb ik de zeester stempel

van Michael Strong gebruikt. Papier en tekst is van Club Scrap.

Randpons van Martha Steward.

Here a close up of the result.

On top of the medallion you see tree mini shells

by Michael Strong embossed on different colors of

embossing powder. In the background you see

 the sea star stamp by Michael Strong.

Paper and sentiment is

by Club Scrap and the border punch is

by Martha Steward.

Creaville Challenge: BIRDS

This card is for the challenge over at

Creaville

The challenge is to make a art with the theme: BIRDS

So this is my contribution:

A card with the hummingbird of Michael Strong,

as well as the little circle stamp on the flower

and paper and sentiment by Club Scrap.

The background to this card was first painted with

acrylic paint, than I stamped and clear embossed the

bird and on top I added some gesso with a credit card.

Have a creative day!

Valentine Challenge

In de Michael Strong yahoogroep

heeft Michael ons uitgedaagd een Valentijnskaart te maken,

waar je niet de kleuren roze, rood en paars in terug vindt.

Dit is mijn kaart geworden.

Ik heb hiervoor het mini hart van Michael Strong

 gebruikt en de tekst is van Club Scrap.

De harten zijn geembossed met zwarte, witte en gouden embossing poeder.

Op een hartje heb ik een knoop en een wit roosje vast

gezet. Je kunt daarvan hieronder het detail zien.

In the Michael Strong Yahoogroup,

Michael has set a challenge to make a Valentine's card

without the colors pink, red and purple.

This is my card for the challenge.

I used Mike's mini heart stamps for this card

and embossed them with black, white and gold embossing powder.

The sentiment is by Club Scrap.

Here you see a detail of the one heart were a button is added

with tin gold wire and a white flower.

If you click on the photo, you see even a larger version.

Have a creative day!
