Sunday Scrap Page: Balance

As you have seen i had a yoga lesson this week

and with my new sentiments from Create with TLC

I came up with this new scrap page for my

weekly chronicles.

I used Club Scrap's Tribal kit papers to 

make this page in combination also with Michael

Strongs Cloisonné Crane stamps.

For the top banner of the page I found some fun images

with google and made a whole row of yoga girls and

colored them with pencil. The sentiment at the end of the

banner, as well as as the sentiment on the picture

is by Create with TLC and you find it here.

The closisonné crane is stamped in ash

and colored around with a little topaz.

The text is printed with the computer.

I also used some DIY washi tape.

I did this before and you can see here

how you can do this too.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Saturday card: Giraffe

Welcome to 

Michael Strongs new 

cloisonné giraffe stamp!

You can find the stamp HERE.

It is such an awesome stamp.

And ilove it when things come together.

I tried to clean my desk and just found the

perfect pieces of scrap paper to use for

this giraffe card.

The background to this card is a piece

of cardstock decorated with my gelli plate.

A gelliplate makes a lot of fun backgrounds in a jiffy!

You find all info about this here:

http://www.gelliarts.com/

 I took my giraffe stamp and stamped

\on the background with versamark

and embossed the image with black

embossing powder. 

The leaves are embossed with green distress

embossing powder that goes wonderful with the background.

Finished of the card with a ribbon and taped

it all down to a yellow card.

Thanks for looking and soon more

giraffe cards.

Have a creative day!

Yoga

Last Wednesday I attended a yoga lesson

outside on the grass in the sun at

The Company Sport at Schiphol-Rijk.

It was wonderful!

So when I was surfing around I arrived

at Create with TLC

and noticed her new sentiments:

 These were just perfect for my pictures!

Just had to buy them. For only $ 2,50

You find the set HERE.

I am going to have a lot of fun with these sentiments.

So I also used some other sentiments 

tomake a thank you card for the teacher:

I googled free yoga cliparts and found this

neat girl in yoga position, just perfect for a card.

The image is colored with pencil and the flowers

are punched with the Petite Petals punch by SU!.

Printed the sentiment and added  it to the card.

Here another version:

I can see more cards coming!

Thanks for looking.

Have a creative day!

Altered Playing Cards

A fun way of making art is to alter.

Nearly everyone has a deck of playing cards

and this size of cards is somuch fun to use as a base 

for art. My friend Claudine is going to do project

with these cards and you can play along and win prizes.

Have a look here:

and you can find much information about it on internet.

Here are some fun sampes I found online:

I am inspired and will try to take part in this challenge.

Creative greetings,

Club Scrap Cinema! Blog Hop

This is the  Club Scrap Cinema! collection

of August 2014. Did you get your pizzabox delivered?

So it is time to hop and see what fun project

you can use the papers and stamps for.

I hope you came over here
from the wonderful Tricia,who always has
 such efficient ideas on her blog HERE.

I love this new kit, for my DH and I very often go to

the Cinema, just not always.
So sometimes we just have to do with a dvd. 

As it was  his birthday this week I gave him
a dvd and of course had it nicely wrapped

and added some popcorn just for the fun

of having a great evening.

So now YOU want to know how I made this

dvd wrapper? Well, here come the instructions:

Take one of the 12x12 papers of your choice

and cut it two 2 pieces of 5,5 inch by 8,5 inch.

I love the one paper with the end, that I will be using for 

the backside of the wrapper.

Score both papers at the bottom at 3/4 inch.

If you like you can round of the top corners

of the wrapper with a corner punch.

Decorated the wrapper to your taste

or just leave the papers as is.

This is the template for the pocket on the front of

the wrapper. Use a contrasting color and decorate.

I used the absolutely fun washi tape that was in the box 

and the unmounted rubber stamps for decoration.

After stamping add adhesive tape on the outer part

of the pocket and glue to the wrapper.

At the bottom of the wrapper I made two slits on either

side of the fold to thread the organza ribbon for

closing the wrapper.

Here is the complete finished present all wrapped

up and the popcorn added in the pocket:

This is the backside of the wrapper.

Here I added a star and a filmstrip

with the use of some of the UM stamps

and a punch to make the filmstrip.

So what is a gift without a card?

If you do not have popcorn available, you

could use the front pocket for your card!

The card is made with one of the panels

that was left over after cutting the 12x12 paper.

Hope you like the dvd gift wrap idea.

You can use it for any theme dvd

and even decorate the paper accordingly.

Now for more ideas hop over to Kay,

who always comes up with the most fantastic

ideas. I can't wait to see what she has in store for

us this time HERE.

And if you loose your way,you can always go to

Sunday scrap page: Weather

Here we are again with a new page.

This time it is about the weather.

Not the nicest weather!

This page is made with a  vintage Club Scrap 

retreat kit called "By the Number".

On the backround I used a stencil to make the rain.

The umbrella is made with the triangle stamp

by Michael Strong and lagoon and peridot

stamp ink by Club Scrap.

These cardboard letters are covered with the

lagoon ink and stamped on with the triangle stamp

in the same color.

Thanks for stopping by

and hope your weather is much better.

Creative greetings,
