New Year cards

I have been working on some New Year cards with

FREE digital images by Create with TLC.

 

Here are 4 variations of the same sentiment

in combination with printed digital papers

that you also find on the Create with TLC blog.

 

On top the first one  I have also used the Tim Holtz clock

die and some tickets. I have added some glossy accent to the

glasses to make them look more real, but unfortunately,

you do not see this on the photo.

Here i printed the image on craft paper and on orange

paper. Cut out the middle circle with my spellbinder die.

The numbers have been cut with the cricut.

A few gemstones give the card a sparkle.

Combination of digital clock paper

and the sentiment. Clock hands are

from the th clock die.

 

Background of this card is embossed

with a clock embossing folder through

the cuttlebug.

 

and make it a creative one!

 

Club Scrap Weekly Chronicles

This page is the last page for this years

weekly chronicles scappage at the

Club Scrap forum.

Sometimes I have no idea what to do when

I read the theme for the week,

but this time it was easy.

The theme was:

Best Memory of 2012

and of course that was the birth

of my grandson.

Here a close up of the hournaling.

I used Club Scrap Sorrento papers

and Michael Strong's alphabet

and number stamps.

Also I combined the little circle with

the scrap paper and added some bling.

 

Have a creative day!

2013 Calendar

With the New Year nearly there it is time

to make some calendars.

Here is the first one. can is one

on your desk. I made it 7x7 inch.

For the background I used Michael Strong's

cloisonné square stamp embossed in gold.

 

The numbers are cut with the cricut.

Here a close up of the flower. It is one of those ready made

flowers with leaves by Michael Strong.

On the backside of the card I made a stand

so the calendar can stand up.

Below you find a printable

calendar for 2013.

You can either use the link or

just save the image to your computer

and print it any size you want

to fit your calendar.

Christmas Gift

I want to share with you a Christmas gift

that I made for my co-workers.

I bought the candles and I made the decoration.

You start with a wide ribbon

around the candle. I used a little

hot glue to fasten the ribbon.

 For the tag I used

a circle spellbinder die

a scalloped spellbinder die

snowflake embossing folder

Michael Strong Cloisonné Alphabeth stamps

matching oval punch

 Fold the paper dubble and 

cut it with the die a little off the paper.

This way you get the double tag card.

 Stamp your wish inside (stamp by Tim Holtz)

or write it by hand.

Cut a circle that is a little smaller as the

scalloped tag card and emboss this with

the snowflake folder. I also added some

red distress ink around the circle. 

 With the Stampin'Up! round tab punch I 

punched out the top for the tag.

 You can fasten the tag by stapling it

or by using brads.

 Decorate the Christmas ball as desired.

Here i used the stamps,

but on the other tag (below) you see

I used the mini snowflake rosette die by Sizzix

 Add a eubbon through the round tab on top.

You can even add some little bells. I did that

with some metal wire and turned the ends

on atootpick soo thehave a decorated funtion.

 Here you see the two finished card tags.

 Here you see all my finished candles together.

Hope you have a wonderful
and creative Christmas!

 

 

12*12*12

I just had to make this fun tag for today.

Hope you like it.

 

I used distress stains for the background

and coffee ring, spoon and beans by

Club Scrap.

 

Cups and steam stamps by Michael Strong

and the keep calm sentiment I made here:

Hope you all have a wonderful and

special day today.

Have a creative day!

 

 

Hanukkah

 

Here are some quick cards for Hanukkah

and some links to more fun craft for

Hanukkah that is just around the corner.

 

For the cards I used some great digital images

by Create with TLC as well as some printed

packground papers.

 

Here is card #1 with a stamped background with dreidles

(unknown brand) and I used a star stencil.

The dreidl I cut and the coins are made  with a punch.



This card is made with digital background paper

printed out and the vintage image is colored

with distress markers. The white is perfect for the candles.

 

Here some links to other fun Hanukkah crafts:

TH December tag 2

Here is my entry for the last two tags for 2012.

This challenge on the blog of Tim Holtz was

a lot of fun this year. I do hope Tim comes up

with another wonderful challenge for 2013.

These are my finished cards together.

As I do not celebrate Christmas, but Hanukkah

(secretly still hoping Tim will do some candles one day)

I made one card for Hanukkah and the other one

is for my sweetheart.

I only bought the small snowman, so this is

what i came up with using Tim's techniques.

The snowflakes are dies and I cut them out

of watercolorpaper (left over from the

snowmen) and colored them with distress stains.

In the heart each snowflake has a sticky gemstone.

Here my Hanukkah card.

Hanukkah starts on the 8th of December this year

and lasts for 8 days: each day we light a candle more.

He you might say: I see 9 candles! Yes, well one is the helper,

he is the one that lights all the candles every day.

More info about Hanukkah can be found HERE.

On the tag you see an image from

Create with TLC. The candles are colored white

with a picket fence distress marker.

The flames are colored with mustered seed and marigold

finished with a little drop of rock candy stickles.

 

On top of the big flower you see a dreidel and gelt.

This is a game we play during the festival of hanukkah.

Flower and dreidel are covered with rock candy stickles.

This image is also by Create with TLC.

 

Thank you Tim for a wonderful year

of inspiration!

 

 

Have a creative day!
