Saturday card: Happy Days

This card is made again with the Club Scrap

Dungarees kit. I added the Michael Strong

mini cloisonné star stamp and the background

is another Technique Junkies technique.

For the background I choose the Antiqued Wallpaper

technique fromthe June/July 2010 Technique

Junkies newsletter. It is a wonderful and easy

technique that makes great backgrounds.

Then the pocket stamp from the UM Dungarees rubber stamps.

Cut out the pocket and stampwith versamark

the Michael Strong mini cloisonné star and emboss

with red embossing powder.

On a separate piece of red paper I stamped

the star again and embossed it with

pearlscent ivory embossing powder.

Underneath tereis the sentiment.

The star is cut out on top,but underneath

left on the red paper so you can add it to

the pocket like a paperclip.

Here you see the sentiment coming out of the pocket.

See you again with a Dungerees project tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.

Have a creative day!

More fun with Dungerees TJ Bingo Blast

As my Club Scrap Dungerees kit is still open

on my table I keep on having ideas and just

have to play with it.

Today I have a card for you with in the background

the fun Technique Junkies technique called

Bingo Blast,that you can find in the newsletter

of April/May 2009.

For the background I used distress stains

and a Club Scrap stencil from December 2011.

The sentiment is from the Dungerees UM stamps.

The dotted line is drawn by hand.

I have a feeling that tomorrow there will be more 

Dungerees inspiration for you.

Have a creative day!

TH May tag: Boy

So near the end of the month, I finally have time

to make my tag of May for the Tim Holtz

12 tags of 2014. You find his teachings

for this tag over at his blog HERE.

As I had still my Club Scrap Dungarees kit on

the table, I came up with this fun boy tag idea.

I think it will end up on one of the scrap pages

of my grandson! 

Now I share with you how I made

this tag:

I started out with the Cape Cod stencil, a tag and 

vintage photo distress ink.

I cut out this frame with my tag and bookplate die.

 Then I embossed the frame with clear embossing powder.

The background for the frame is decorated  with

a piece of printed Dungarees paper stamped with stars 

from the Cape Cod um stamps.

Here a close up of how I decorated the frame

with two pocket stamps and of course something

had to hang out of the pocket!

The sentiment is stamped with a background

stamp fromCape Cod in dark blue and the 

words in black.

As the Dungarees stamp was a little to big,

I stamped it with neon blue on shrink plastic

and glued it to the left over oval of the frame.

Made some white stiches around it with a signo pen.

Thanks for looking!

Have a creative day!

Club Scrap Dungarees Blog Hop

Here we are with the 

Club Scrap Dungarees Blog Hop.

You might have arrived here from Tricia's Blog

with her wonderful ideas and projects for you.

If you lose your way,you can always go back to the

Club Scrap Create Blog and see the list of

all the participants of this hop.

I have a scrap page and a card for you

and I used my stencils on both of them.

This kit is absolutely perfect for boy lay-outs

and I am  so lucky to have a grandson, who is

the perfect subject to scrap about.

I am absolutely in love with all kinds of stencils lately

and they are just great to use to make your own backgound.

For the jeans pocket I had some help from the video by Tricia,

that you can find HERE. She shows you how easy it is to

make the pocket with the stencil that comes with the kit.

The red paper is decorated with one of the stamps

from the kit and a Technique Junkies technique called

"Shadow Tiles"That you can find in the Dec/Jan 2014

Technique Junkies Newsletter.

The sentiment is absolutely super cute for little

boys pages! The stencil used here is by Dutch Doobadoo.

And here is a card with also the use

of a stencil for the background and the

stamps from the kit.

The technique is called "Stenil Spray with

a Twist"  from the Technique Junkies

Newsletter from April/May 2014.

I also have a card in the Technique Junkies

Design Team Blog today and  you find it HERE.

Sunday Scrap page: May Flowers

So here I am,back with my Sunday ScrapPage.

Yes,sometimes life gets in the way and you just

don't have time to make one.

The theme May Flowers was easy, I had so many

flower pictures. Love to take close-ups of

nice blooming flowers in my garden.

But....as we were on vacation last week to Istanbul,

I used two pictures i made there for my page.

Papers and big sentiment stamp are

Club Scrap's Hydrangea papers and stamp.

The other stamps...the flowers and the honeycomb stencil

are by Michael Strong and is called

Hannah's Busy Bee setand you find it here.

Before adding anything I decorated the yellow paper

with the honeycomb stencil by using a blending tool

and Club Scrap's orchid hybrid ink pad.

Some flower stamps are stamped and colored

as decoration on the paper and others I have cut out

and added were I wanted them to be.

This time i did not print the text for my page,i thought

handwritten text looked more appropriate.

What do you think?

Have a creative day!

TJ Emboss Washi tape & CS NSD challenge 2

Today I am combine several issues:

1. participating in the NSD challenge at Club Scrap

2.my Saturday card for the Michael Strong group

3. my daily postings for the Technique Junkies group

So let's start with the Club Scrap challenge:

The teme trough all these challenges is my

woodgrain embossing folder and I liked the post 

from Tricia, Kay and Karen sharing their ideas

about what to do with the foldere HERE.

So I started with technique 1. by Tricia

using dark paper and white ink

When the card was finished it turned out

that this card was also my Saturday card for

the Michael Strong group!

I used Club ScrapAspen papers

Michael Strong's Owl stampand a sentiment Joanne.

Also I did Kay's technique with the gelato's:

Here I used Club Scrap Aspen papers

and It's a hoot ruber stamps.

The owlis colored with pencil.

Now as for the Technique Junkies post,

I chose the Embossed Washi Tape technique from

the Oct/Nov 2013 newsletter

All stamps and papers are Club Scrap's 

Aspen kit. Washi tape from stash.

Now I was having so much fun with my embossing

folder, that I came up with another technique with the gelatos.

Here is a little tutorial:

Color your embossing folder with gelatos

and spray a little water over it.

Add some paper and run it trough your machine.

And look how beautiful it is when you open

the embossing folder.

Quickly wash your embossing folder

to take the gelatos off.

And this is the finished card

with Club Scrap's Aspen papers

and It's a hoot stamps.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!
