Sandsculptures

In Zandvoort. The Netherlands there is at the moment the

European Sandsculpture Championship. The theme of the

sculptures is Leonardo da Vinci. These pictures where taken

by the mother of my SIL, who happens to live in Zandvoort.

I made this digital scrap page with the July Sea Breeze

hybrid images by Club Scrap.

Club Scrap July Linky Party: Sea Breeze

Welcome to the 

Club Scrap Linky Party!

I share with you some card ideas

made with the CS July Sea Breeze kit

in paper and digital.

I start with the paper cards I created with craft paper

and digital printed paper and reral rubber stamps.

Here you see the hybrid Sea Breeze papers I printed 

and the wonderful rubber stamps.

Card #1 has a border from the pebble paper

and images stamped on a separate piece of craft paper

and colored with pencil.

Light colors of pencil do it perfectly on kraft paper.

The shells are added with foam tape and a little

silver glitter glue on top.

The sand is made by hand with a white gel pen

and some sticky white pearls.

For the bottle I added some glossy accent after coloring

to have the glass effect.

Card #2 is created with the pebble paper 

and a cut out panel.

For the letters I used thes Stampin'Up! thinlits.

I taped them down with washi tape, so they do

not move when I run them through the bigshot.

So behind the cut out letters I glued the pebble paper

on the card and used some foam tape between this paper

and the kraft paper.

Some more cut out shells and a starfish decorate the 

stamped birthday greetings.

Card #3 and #4 are beth made with the

Sea Breeze hybrid kit and photoshop

on the computer.

If you like these cards and are not very good

with photoshop, I don't mind if you save them on 

your computer for future use. I did not put my watermark 

on it, so you can pretend you made it ;-)!

Here a sample of what you can do.

I just printed the images, cut and folded them into a card.

Then added some bakers twine and some left over

shells from my previous paper cards.

On the shells I added silver glitter glue.

Thank you again for looking

and have a creative Summer day!

Sneak peek Club Scrap Linky Party

Tomorrow I have lots of

  Club Scrap Sea Breeze 

cards on my blog for the linky party.

Here a sneak peek of one creative moment 

for one of the cards.

See you tomorrow!

I sea coffee!

You know by I love making coffee cards

and I try to make them with all the kits I get 

from Club Scrap. This months kit is

called Sea Breeze and here you see what I came up with.

The base of the card is paper from the Picnic kit July 214.

The lettering is done with thinlits as well as the cups.

The design papers are printed from the Sea Breeze

hybrid kit. You find the kit here.

The sea shells are stamped with the Sea Breeze rubber

stamps and colored with pencils.

The inside is also decorated.

Hope you come back on Wednesday, 

when there is the Club Scrap

linky party and share more ideas with you.

Thank you for looking and

have a creative day!

Coloring

Today I have been coloring in the garden

with my foot up on the chair.

Not the best pictures, but my photobooth is

upstairs and that's just not an option now.

I have some new images that I downloaded

from Crafting Desert Divas.

This is Rhino Summer.

This unicorn is from the set

Belive in Magic.

The sentiments on both cards

are by Create with TLC.

Thank you for looking and 

have a creative day!

The Beach

In The Netherlands it is a very hot Summer

and that means playing at the beach for the grandkids.

Here is a digital scrap page with images from the

Club Scrap Sea Breeze kit with my grandson.

Thank you Maria for your pictures!

Here you see all the images of the

Sea Breeze hybrid kit and only $ 4,95!!

The other part of the family was on another beach:

They found a little crab in the sand while playing.

Luckily I had this crab from the  Club Scrap Boardwalk kit

June 2016, everything else is Sea Breeze.

And how about even making a fitting

name tag with the digital images.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Fun at the Beach

Here is my card for the challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday.

It is "Fun in the Sun"

and isn't the best place the beach?!

For my card I used the July stamps from the

Club Scrap Sea Breeze kit.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Little gift find

Today I shopped at our local dollar store in The Netherlands,

here known as "Action" and found this cute glass candle

with the pot on top of the lid. I knew right away i wanted

to alter the labels.

Also I came across this rock idea somewhere on a blog

and I just had to give it a try.

The images are digital images by Verve Stamps.

The candle inside the glass.

My first try, have to find all the right materials,

for i am not totally satisfied, but it does looks so cute.

It is just a rocjk from my garden.

Thanks for looking 

and have a creative day!

Create with TLC vintage pictures

On the Create with TLC blog there are

 a lot of vintage pictures and some of them are just great

for making cards.

Just print a few if the images, get some left over scrap paper,

a ribbon and a sentiment and you have a great card.

Here I added a cut out sentiment

and a golden butterfly.

No special techniques on these cards,

just adding the images.

This one is good for any occasion

with the flower image, a little butterfly

and a lace ribbon.

I enter these cards for the 

Crate with TLC challenge #21 HERE.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Sea Breeze scrap page

This is the mother of my SIL and she lives very close

to the beach. She takes lovely walks along the beach 

and has wonderful pictures that I can use with the 

Club Scrap July Sea Breeze kit.

Today I made this page with elements from the 

Hybrid kit and used the photoshop program.

These are all the elements that come with the

hybrid kit and cost only $ 4.94. You find it HERE.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Progressive challenge Limited Runs

Here in The Netherlands it is a wonderful

hot and humid Summer day. A day to have coffee

outside in the garden and read a good book

under a parasol.

I have been making my card for the 

Limited Runs Progressive challenge

on Facebook. Every time we get a new

image to play with. This time it was 

a wonderful cupcake.

In the back i started with the Tim Holtz star stencil

and red and blue ink. Pieces of washi tape are also

for decoration and the finishing touch on the

background panel.

The coffee cup is a Stampin'Up! die and

Club Scrap Firecracker paper. The star on the

cup is an old SU! paperpunch.

And here is the cupcake. I colored it in photoshop

and printed the image 3 times  to make a 3d version

with foam tape in between and little sticky pearls

in the heart of the flowers.

The digital sentiment is by Verve Stamps. 

So sad that this shop has closed. 

I enter my card on the linky of the

Coffeelovingcardmaker's blog,

for I used one of the sponsors images.

Limited Runs stamps also always provides a freebie

at the blog hops that are held.

Back to my coffee in the garden!

Thanks for looking 

and have a creative day!
