Sunday scrap page: Mother/Daughter Day

Yesterday I had a lovely day with my daughter. We went to a craft fair

1 1/2 hour drive from our house and she treated me to a Starbuck

Pumpkin Spice Latte on the way to the fair. Yummy.

I started stamping the background with a pumpkin

stamp by Michael Strong in brown ink.

Next I took a orange inkpad and  a blending tool

and colored the pumpkins with some orange ink.

On the left side of the page I also stamped some coffee rings

(Club Scrap mocha java stamp) and handlettered the

PSL (pumpkin spice latte), because that fair was a lot about

handlettering my DD and I love to do lately.

All the papers  used to make this page are from different 

Club Scrap kits.Even the sentiment is one of the

Club Scrap cut aparts. The coffee picture is one I made

at the Starbuck coffee shop we went to get our coffee.

The flowers is made out of a nespresso capsule.

There is a little tutorial here.

We are happy with our delicious coffee! On the left

you see the Fall cameo stamp by Michael Strong. It is

stamped in dark prown and colored with pencil.

After coloring some white dots are added and 

sprayed over with gold distress mica spray. A pity

this is not very clear to see, but it is beautiful!

And here we are at the Fair. The text is printed

with the computer and the lines around it are drawn by hand.

The ribbon used on this page are by Diana Larson.

She hand dies them herself and the come in bundles.

This delicious set is called

Here a close up of the ribbon. it is a little crincled and I love that.

She has a special free shipping offer over at her blog until

November 5. It is world wide FREE shipping, so have

a look HERE.

Well, thank you for looking.

Now I go practice my handlettering

You can see some of it on my instagram

@4hetty is my name there.

Have a creative day!

Saturday Sketch Card: FMS 260

Welcome to another day of sketch fun on my blog.

My card is for the Freshly Made Sketches Blog.

And is made with an embossed background

and a sentiment by Create with TLC,

The background is done with a pumpkin embossingfolder

from cuttlebug (provocraft). I added orange and green

ink with a blending tool to the raised parts.

Stamped the pumpkin on orange paper and 

embossed it with orange embossing powder

and decorated with bling gemstones.

Thank you for looking

Sip and Share sketch

On my favorite Coffee Lovers Blog

there is always a sketch on Sunday. 

My intention is every week to take part, 

but than life takes over and I have so many

other things to do. Today I finally made one

card for this weeks sketch.

With Christmas cards already on my mind,

I made this card with a winter feel.

Here is the sketch that I used.

It is a totally fun sketch by Kerry Urbatch.

Go and see her card on the blog.

For my card you see some differend pieces of scrap papers.

The hot cocoa mug is a die from Die-Namic, with some

glittery backer's twine and a woodsie mitten with a

little glittery gemstone.

And how bout this sentiment on one of the papers that I found

 in between my scrap stash.

Thank you for looking

Club Scrap Blog Hop: Literature

Welcome to the October

Club Scrap Blog Hop.

We present to you the October kit called

Literature.

Above you see the contents of the Deluxe kit.

We share with you all kinds of different projects,

like scrapbook lay outs, cards, mini books and more

to inspire you to use the papers and stamps.

I hope you arrived here from

Jennifers Blog

seen her inspiring project and left her some love.

You know, one can never start reading early enoug!

The twins already love reading their books.

This page is made with the digital Literature kit.

(btw. my first digital scrap page!)

And now let's see what else I made for you:

This month we were asked for the Artist Team challenge to

share some gift ideas for the December month. I had so many ideas,

that here are some more gift ideas. My idea for everything is

books and coffee a perfect combination!

So my first project is a box of coasters.

I found some plain looking wooden coasters in the $$ store

that needed to be decorate. Six coasters came in this cute

holder. Everything ready for decoration!

I started with giving all the coasters a layer of

white gesso, which makes stamping so much easier

When the gesso was drie (and that is real quick) I colored

all the sides with brown ink.

Next step is stamping. I stamped with the same brown inkpad.

Not wanting to make all the coasters the same but

all there own look. I used the rubber stamps that came

with the kit. You can see all the stamps HERE.

After everything was stamped all in brown,

I used a blending tool to add some color.

Here a few finished coasters.

I really love the finished look

and will for sure use them (or give them as a present).

My other project for today is the one you can not only

use for December, but all kind of occasions. I found this idea

on pinterest and here is my version of it. On one side

there is a pocket for a pen and a post-it block

of 3 x 3 inch. It can also be a great teacher gift.

On the other side there is a pocket, which

can hold a gift card or a little note.

You can also leave out the pocked and add

a calendar on the other side.

Here is the template with the measurements

of this post-it note gift set.

This is how it looks after the cutting and folding.

Here some more views of how to construct this.

I used the red tape for strong construction.

Of course there are many ways to decorate this

fun little gift, so my way is just to inspire you.

On one I use a ribbon and on the other I used

some of the cut apparts. On the right one I added

the clip that came with the kit, that is perfect for a book clip.

I also found some pens, that I could decorate

with matching paper. For this I printed some

of the papers from the digital Literature kit.

And now for even more inspiration

head over to

Pam's Blog

and see what see has in store for you.

If for some reason you loose your way,

you can alsways go back to the

Club Scrap Blog.

Thanks you for looking and

have a creative day!

Sunday scrap page: handlettering

My page today is about: Handlettering.

Lately I am practicing this and doing a challenge on

instagram of 31 one days of October on handlettering.

I am still far from average, but it is fun to do and learning on the way.

As you see I even practice with one of my grandchildren

on my lap. Colin is looking very interrested ;-).

For my page I used a combination of Club Scrap's  

Garden Shed and the new Literature kit.

This Fleur de Lis stamp is by Michael Strong.

I stamped this on the bookpage print from the CS Literature kit.

Then I cut it with the die that goes with it and decorated

this with lovely blue sticky gemstones, matching the ribbon.

Here some handwriting of me. The top card also has one

of the Literature rubber stamps on the background.

This sentiment is one of the cut aparts from the

Club Scrap Literature kit.

Thank you for looking.

Hope you come by again on Wednesday when

we have a blog hop with the Club Scrap Literature kit.

Have a creative day!
