Sketch Saturday #511

Welcome to my blog today and I share with

you the card I made for the sketch challenge on

the Saturday Sketch Blog.

 

Here you see sketch #511.

It has been some time since I used one

of their sketches, so here it is again.

I used my new Tim Holtz mini bluepring #10 stamps

that I got at the craftshow I went  2 weeks ago.

I started out with making the background with one

of the Tim Holtz scrappapers. Cutting it to the right size 

and adding some glass rings to the bottom of the panel

with one of the mini stencils.

Next I stamped the bottle and the glass twice.

Coloring the image with distress oxide inks and

cutting the bottle with a circle die and the glass

with sissors. The 2nd image is added with foam

tape for a 3d look.

For the sentiment I used  Tim Holtz small talk stickers.

Also i typed the word "l'chaim" withthe computer in

a typwriter font to match the stickers.

The glass is cover with glossy accent for a more glassy look.

And this is the inside of the card.

Of course i made a matching enveloppe.

Thank you for looking and

have a creative day!

Kingday 2018

Today is a special day in The Netherlands.

It is the Kings birthday and it means lots of

festivities everywhere. We dress up in orange,

because the King is of The House of Orange

and vsit the local flee market. Lots of people

(mostly children) put down a blanket in our towns

main streed and sell their toys and clothes 

they have grown out off. For a nickel and a dime

goods change hands. Owen had a field day finding 

new toys.

Even google has addapted the doodle on top

of their search box.

So we left in the morning when it was sunny

and an agreable temperature. We had a great time.

Now that I am writing my blog, temperature

has dropped and it is raining outside :-(

At least there was time enough to make some lovely pictures

to make this digital scrap page with the Club Scrap

Shibori Hybrid kit.

Meet our King Willem-Alexander 

and his Queen Maxima.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Shibori Linky Party

Welcome to the Club Scrap Linky Party

sharing with you projects with the

April Shibori kit.

My project this month is a travel journal

made into a diary.

For this I cut a piece of the white paper 8.5 x 11 inch

and folded it with a 1/2 inch book back.

Then i used some of the printed paper to cover

the front and the back. I haven't really finished

the album, because I think that happens along

the way using it, but this is sort of the base.

Here you see all of the cover.

On the back I made a whole in the center

and i added some elastic ribbon as a closure.

For adding the pages I made some holes in

the bookback with eyelets and added more

elastic siver ribbon.

Here a view of the inside:

pocket on the left, the stamped pages.

Here a close up on the pocket, that I made with the

stencil from the kit.

I added white gesso over the blue paper.

Next I added blue and brown ink

and let it drie completely.

Inside the pocket I added one of the cut aparts from the kit

for some journaling. Now I am going to show you how 

i made the diary pages.

More use of the stencil, for I used it to decorate all

the inside pages. For this I used some regular copy paper

and blue and brown ink.

After the stenceling I used the Shibori rubber stamps

to make spaces for the days of the week.

With a black pen I wrote the days of the week.

The left part is done and the right part I leave for

some new ideas.

Here some finished pages with a little more stamping.

This is the back page. In the middle you see the

knot of the elastic silver ribbon from the closure.

Again use of the stencil and also a sentiment from the

cut apart. The border is a piece of washi tape

that also came with this kit.

I hope you also look on the

  Club Scrap Blog

to see all the other wonderful artwork.

Thanks for looking at my project

and have a creative day!

Let's Doodle!

I made these cards for the challenge on the

SimonSaysStamp Blog.

I used this month kit by Club Scrap Shibori

that are perfect for the Doodle It challenge.

You can see all the details HERE.

For my cards I used a technique I noticed on the

craftshow I visited last Saturday and lucky me, I had all

the ingredients!

I used color burst turqoise powder 

on the left side of the paper.

Next I took the mini mister and sprayed a big puddle

of water on top of the powder.

Dipping the stamp into the puddle of color burst

I used it to stamp the background for my card.

For this card I also used the stencil that came 

with the Club Scrap Shibori kit.

Next i used the Shibori stamps on top of the

background and with a black marker

I added some dooling on the stencil side.

I must say the stamps look already like I doodled.

The butterfly is cut with a thinlit by Stampin'Up!

and I  used part of the leftside paper for this.

The flower is cut out with a punch from one of my

nespresso metal cups. See my tutorial HERE.

I had so much fun with this technique, I had to try it on another card

as well. Gere i used more of the stamps to doodle and a little pen doodling too.

Left more of the leftside puddle of ink color.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Coffee Helps!

Yesterday I was at a stamp craftshow and there

were lots of free workshops, I only took one and all the others

I looked at and was inspired for making cards.

This is the first card I made after the show.

The sentiment on the cups is one I bought there!

The cups are by Stampin'Up!

the coffee rings are by Club Scrap

and the beans are a stencil by Karen Burninston.

I am sure you like to know what I got myself

(from my birthday money!):

I got these new Tim Holtz boxes for my alcohol ink bottles

(those I already had!). 

Neww Tim Holtz stencils and stamps and some fun

Penny Black Art/Creativity stamps.

New oxide inks, and other goodies to play with.

It was a great and inspirational day!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Paper kit is here!

Yesterday my pizzabox with papers and stamps by

Club Scrap arrived. It is the April Shibori kit.

Here you find all the details about what is inside the box.

So right away I cut and  prepared the stamps with the 

mount-it adhesive for rubber stamps. This way the cling

perfectly to your acryl block.

The kit came with a wonderful stencil and I just had to play with it.

So these are the finished cards I made.

Card #1

I used blue and brown ink on the stencil background.

As I want to show of the beautiful stenciled

background I onlu dit a little decoration on the front.

The hooray is cut with a die and the sentiment

is one of the stamps that came with the kit.

I hate throwing away the left over pieces,

so i decorated the inside of the card with it.

Card #2

For this card I used the same stencil and colors,

but yes it does look different.After doing the first

coloring with light blue and brown ink, I took the stencil

of and turned it a little and then colored again.

This way you get a different use of the stencil.

The circles are decorated with the rubber stamp

by using the 2 colors of ink again.

On top the cut out sentiment.

Inside the card some left over piece of the front panel

and the stamped birthday sentiment.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
