Happy Passover!

Tonight is the start of the Jewish holiday Passover (for information

click HERE) and here you see a picture of some of the

ingredients for my cooking. All of the family will arrive tonight

and we will have a special meal called SEDER.

There are special food regulations and one thing is for a week 

we do not eat normal bread, but matzo (unleavened bread).

So it infolves quite a lot of preparations.

Of course I want to decorate the table 

and making some cards and name cards.

This card is made witha stamp from Zum Gali Gali

and shows a seder plate. On top and bottom

you see the pattern of matzo that i printed on copy paper.

Here is the small table card (3,5x 2,25 inch).

The sentiment is Stampin'Up! 

For the cards I made cute little envelops

from matzo paper with the envelope punchboard.

For this little envelope you need a piece of 5 x 5 inch .

I also made these flower wrapping to give

when everyone leaves.

Happy Passover to you all!

Club Scrap Daffodils linky party

Today I am showcasing all kinds of projects

with the wonderful Club Scrap Daffodils kit.

You find all the projects on the Club Scrap Blog.

The paper kit is wonderful and makes lots of great 

scrapbook pages. I had some wonderful pictures from

last year's visit to the Keukenhof with my Club Scrap

friend Jill. Perfect for these pages.

All elements are from the March Daffodils kit.

I also added some splatter papers I made

a few days ago with the bingo blast technique.

The flowers, wooden sentiment and fun velvet buttons

are all part of the March Daffodils kit.

For this project I used the Daffodils hybrid kit.

I had such a great picture of my eldest grandson and 

his school project, that he brought home yesterday, 

that I made a quick digital page in photoshop.

With some of the leftover pieces of paper from the 

splatter technique and cut ofs from the layout, I made these 

cards with weaving those strips and taping them to the card.

 For the first card I decorated the woven strips

of paper with a roset and this daffodil cut out that

cam with the paper kit. The sentiment is stamped

and the butterflies are punched out.

The second card is on this lovely decorated

paper with the last strips and another piece

of cut out from the kit, more butterflies

and sticky pearls. The word happy is typed

with the computer and cut out and glued to the 

green strip.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Limited Runs Preogressive Challenge: Chicken

Here is my card for the progressive challenge for

Limited Runs Digital Stamps. 

Every time you use the image, you get

a free image next time.

This time, after printing the image, I colored the chicken with pencil

and printed the sentiment with the computer.

The background is a piece of scrapbook paper.

You can play to by using this chicken image

that you find HERE.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Digital splatter technique for Club Scrap

Here another version of the Club Scrap technique of

the Month challenge: splatter technique. This time I used

the Daffodils Hybrid images.

For my splash technique I searched the internet for

png splas images, for I have no idea how to mnake

these myself. I downloaded yellow, orange and green

splashes and imported them in my photoshop program.

Playing around with all the layers and splashed made

this card.

And here is another version with the same images.

The eyelets and the ribbon are from the Brewed

Awekenings I downloaded this week here.

Thank you for looking and

have a creative day!

Blast from the past

This month there is a fun technique challenge on 

the Club Scrap Blog. 

It is to use a splatter technique. 

Mine is a favorite from old times BINGO BLAST.

It was introduced in 2009 by the Technique Junkies.

I have used it before like here.

I used the distress stains inks in several colors

of yellow/orange/green and this is the resultof

adding the inks to the paper. Perfect backgrounds

for my cards.

I wanted to make some Easter cards, so a bunny would

be fun to add to the card. For this I used the bunny

die from Tim Holtz with its matching bow.

All papers are from the Club Scrap Daffodils March  kit.

I had fun making the tail gor the bunny.

It came with the March kit: velvet buttons, just perfect!

As i do not have an Easter sentiment from Club Scrap,

I used the sentiment from one of my Tim Holtz sets.

You might have noticed I made two backgrounds.

I used the 2nd piece for this tag, that I added to the

chocolate treat for my grandsons.

Here a better view of the tag.

The wonderful chocolate colored ribbon

also came with the Club Scrap March Kit.

Thank you for looking and

have a creative day!

Digital scrapbooking

Club Scrap has a digital SALE for a short time.

Some older digital kits are available HERE.

I just had to get the Brewed Awakenings frrom 2012.

I was not very much into digital scrabooking back than.

This set also comes with two onderful templates,

 that are easy to use. But there is much more to

make your own pages.

As I am still in the learning curve for digital scrapbooking

I find using templates easy to make fun pages.

Here you see one of the twin boys making me coffee

and of course I love drinking coffee made by my grandson.

Thank you for looking

and have a latte great day!

SSS Easter challenge

With Easter soon ofcourse there are lts of Easter

challenges around. Even though i do not celebrate Easter, I celebrate Passover,

my friends do and it is so nice to use the bunny stamp.

My card is for the Simon Says Stamp Blog.

I started out with the mini bunny blueprint stamp by

Tim Holtz. It is stamped in versamark and embossed

with white embossing powder. Next I used lucky clover

green oxide ink to color the panel. The white embossing

powder works as a resist.

For the background I stamped the mini blueprint

easter egg from the sam Tim Holtz set all 

over the paper in black.

Then I took a few colors of oxide distress ink and 

colored the paper with the matching blending tools.

A little extra coloring on the eggs mith distress markers.

Now it is time to assembele everything and make it into a card.

I used some left over colored filter paper for these

punched out flowers (from the spring tag).

The sentiment stamp is from the crazy talk sentiment

stamp set from Tim Holtz.

The ribbon is one of the handied ribbons by Diana Larson.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

SSS Spring challenge

Even though it is bitterly cold here in The Netherlands

this weekend, I know Spring is around the corner and

crafting and thinking about it keeps me warm.

I made this tag for the Monday Challenge

on the Simon Says Stamp blog

where the challenge is Spring/ Easter inspiration.

The background is a tag don in the direct to paper technique

with a variety of green and fosselized amber oxide

distress inks. The bird is a big die cut by Tim Holtz

and the flower is made out of a coffee filter.

I sprayed the filter with fosselized amber distress spray

and cut the flowers with a punch. Inside I added a stem and 

glued all the layers together. The stem end went through

the tag and taped to the back of the tag.

The background rays ar made with a stamp 

and fosselized oxide ink.

Yhe birds nest is another stamp. First I stamped it

on the tag and next on a piece of white paper.

Then colored the nest with a brown distress marker

and cut out the nest and added it with foam tape to the tag. 

The words are from Tm Holtz ideology small talk stickers.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
