Happy Leap Day!

 

Only once in 4 yours we have this day,

so I just could not resist making something fun!

 

The frogs are made with different sizes oval and circle punches.

All over the web you can find tutorials.

The sentiment I made with the computer,

all papers used are by Club Scrap.

These fun sitting frogs I found and were vith a video

tutorial HERE.

 

These fun frogs are open in the back and I added some

candy frogs for today, but you can also add a

chocolate. They are great for name cards on the table

for a party.

 

Here one more card I made. Frogs are always such happy

animals to make and make you smile.

Hope you all have a wonderful and fun day today.

Have a creative day!

TSSC 210

 It has been some time since I did the Techno Stamper's sketch.

But here it is again. This week it is sketch 210.

 

Lately I am getting into baby cards and today I tried

to make something vintage. I used digital stamps by Create with TLC:

the baby picture(freebie) and the sentiment

(Encore word art).

 

The images were printed on kraft paper and colored with pencils.

Background is a piece of scrap paper from my stash.

The rosette is the smallest size from the Tim holtz die.

Have a creative day!

Oscar Night7

 Today is the last day in my serie of Oscar Night cards.

Today is the Oscar Award show in Hollywood and

 tomorrow we will know all the winners.

Because I had a wonderful set of digital stamps

by Create with TLC

I was inspired to make all these cards.

 The picture of the lady I found HERE and is colored with pencil.

The stars are by Michael Strong.

The stars are stamped with versamark on gold paper

and embossed with gold embossing powder.

 And this is the back of the card and

also the end of this years Oscar cards.

I wish you all a wonderful time watching the Oscars.

Have a creative day!

Oscar Night 6

 

Ok, not everyone will be watching the Oscar Award show on television.

So you have to watch your own movie and I have made 

a fun package out of this.

I found this on the internet, so it is not my own

invention.

Please go HERE for all details on how to make

this and download your template.

 I made this for the "Hooray for Hollywood" challenge 

at the Michael Strong stampgroup

and of course I have used

 Michael Strong's cloisonné mini star.

But backgroundpaper and sentiments are by Create with TLC

and go to Paulettes blog and have the background paper free

in all kinds of colors.

 

Inside the dvd case I have the Blues Brothers.

One of my old time favourite mouvies, because the

music makes me so happy!

Have a fun and creative day!

Oscar Night 5

 Today I have a "swing" card for you.

The star is first cut with a spelbinder and used as a template.

If you never have made a swing card, then there

are many tutorials online. I found one HERE.

 I used some pictures from internet,

stars from Tim Holtz and Michael Strong,

sentiment and filmstrip from Create with TLC.

 

This is how the card looks flat. I have attached a star on both sides.

 Embossed some kraft core paper with a star embossing folder

and added some vintage photo distress ink.

Have a creative day!

Oscar night4

 Today I have a more steampunky Oscar night card.

Background is first done with a steampunk stencil and sprayed

with glimmer mist and after that I rolled it trough

the cuttlebug with a steampunk background

and added some more distress ink.

The filmstrip is made with a punch for the border.

The men are stamped with frayed burlap distress ink and

punched out with  square punch and glued to the filmstrip.

 

The star is a stamp by Michael Strong,

the men um stamps are by Tim Holtz

The camera ad sentiment by Create with TLC

and the bingo card I found on the internet.

The metal embellishments are idea-ology elements

by Tim Holtz. 

 

Have a creative day!

Oscar Night3

I made this card with a fun technique from the

Technique Junkies Newsletter Aug/Sept 2009

called Punched Window.

It is a pitty that gold and silver are not such good colors 

to either scan or photograph,

but I hope you can imagine these colors on the right spot.

 

I have used the cloisonné mini star by Michael Strong

embossed in silver or gold and the images and sentiment are

 by Create with TLC.

 

Have a creative day!

Oscar Night2

 Here my second card for the Oscars.

Have you already picked your favourites?

You can find all information about the Ocars here:

http://oscar.go.com/index

This time I made for you a criss cross card

and you can find instructions on 

Splitcoaststampers.

 Scrap paper in the background is by Karen Foster (Movie Night Stripe).

Sentiments and picture are by Create with TLC

and stars are mini cloisonné star by Michael Strong.

The technique on the inside of the envelop is called

"triple dimensions" from the Technique Junkies.

It is a technique from the Feb 2005 newsletter.

 Have a creative day!

Oscar Week

 Soon there is the Oscars Academy Awards 2012.

A big event in Hollywood.

How about making a tag Tim Holtz style?

 I started out cutting a tag with the tag die

and glued randomly some musical tissue

tape on it. With fired brick distress stain I 

covered the tag completely and sprinkled some

waterdrops on it. Now I dried it with my heat gun.

 

When it was completely dry, I took 

the star embossingfolder and ran the tag through

the cuttlebug ans sprayed it with gold

glimmer mist. Idried it all again.

Now i sanded down the stars, distressed the borders and 

added some frayed burlap distress ink on it with 

a blending tool.

To decorate the tag, I punched out some stars

and fastened them with staples.

I made a faux filmstrip piece

with a punch and stamped Tim's

men on it with white.

On the ticket tag you find a sentiment from a wonderful

nes set at Create with TLC called: Hollywood Magic.

 

The tag is finished of with a star ribbon and

of course an Oscar.

But who will be the winner.......

that is still in the envelop until the big event

on Febuary 26.

Have a creative day!
