Mojo Monday 501

It seems a sad time for not only my family,

but for some of my friends as well,

so that is why I made this condolance card.

I used the new sketch by Julee Tilman

that you can find on her 

Poetic Artistry Blog.

The butterflies are made with thinlits

from Stampin'Up!.

Each butterfly consists of two parts. The gold 

filigree part and the plain background.

All the papers on this card are colored with

the direct paper technique with seedless

preserves oxide distress ink in combination

with copper mica distress spray,

All the rubber stamps on this card are

Club Scrap Spring Chorus April 2013.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Tribute for Betty

This is  was my Mother-in-Law Betty.

She was world famous for her applen pie.

She died last Thursday and we will burry her on

Sunday next to her husband.

So in memory of her  and her delicious apple pie

I made this card.

By accident Create with TLC has an apple pie

digital freebie here and I used it to make the pie.

The sentiment is also by Create with TLC.

Food was very imortant for my MIL, there

always had to be plenty!

This lady is a stamp by Stampin'Up! from the

set "You've got style". I alwaus found this lady

looking just like my MIL. Always perfectly dressed

and red lips.

The image is colored with distress crayons.

The background stamp is part of an old

apple pie border stamp by PSX.

I colored with distress crayons and water.

Apple pie and sentiment by Create with TLC.

Rest in Peace, Betty.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Graciellie Design for Sunday Sip Sketch

As all the images of 

Graciellie Design 

that I have are digital, I created a

card in photoshop.

The sketch Sunday Sip and Share 

on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog

was perfect to use.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Graciellie Design Winner

This was the sign of 

Graciellie Design 

on World Card Making Day

on the Facebook Coofee Loving papercrafters

and she offered a prize of $ 50,- of stamps

in her shop and you only had to leave a comment.

Guess what....!

I was the winner!!

So I picked some wonderful digital stamps

that are delivered without postage to my computer.

Today I made my first card:

The cup and tag are from the set

Stay Cozy (that I had my eye on

for some time already).

For the background I used this Tim Holtz stencil

and some oxide ink colors and nuvo glitter paste.

I also used the glimmer paste on the heart of the cup.

The cup and tag are colored with pencil

and cut out with scissors (still on the lookout

for one of those cutting machines...any tips?)

With digital stamps it is easy to adapt

sentiments and fit them in places you want

them to fit, like here the tag.

A ribbon and some paper flowers from my stash

complete the card.

In the background you see some glimmer 

of the Nuvo paste.

Thanks again Graciellie for picking

me. I will have so much fun with all

your images, especially the lovely coffee

ones you have!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month,

 a worldwide annual campaign involving thousands of organisations, 

to highlight the importance of breast awareness, 

education and research.

I share with you this card I made for a friend

with the coffee sleeve gift.

For the card I used all materials by Stampin'Up!

The coffee thinlits, the paper and the sentiment

from the set Ribbon Courage.

The ribbon on the coffee sleeve is a punch

and the ribbon is from my stash.

The background is made with this die from the set.

After cutting out all these cups, the hot pink comes 

trough quite well.

Here you see the sleeve of the coffee up.

The free pattern for the pink ribbon I found here:

breast-cancer-awareness-ribbon.html

For the sleeve I took out some left overs in my basket

and made up the pattern myself. Just started a chain of 

stiches measuring the cup and freely added the colors.

With a button the sleeve is kept around the cup.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Don't forget your check-up!

Sunday: sketch day!

I have been playing with Club Scrap papers

and stamps for two sketches.

It has been some time since I made a sketch from

Freshly Made Sketches, so here is their latest:

This card is a combination of the digital

You've got mail images in the background

and rubber stamps from various other 

Club Scrap kits.

This is how I created the flower stamps.

First stamp the empty posteroid on the

white paper and next on a piece pf post-it.

Cut out the inside of the posteroid on the post-it

and cover the white stamped image. Now you can ink up

the flower and stamp this on the posteroid.

The flower stamp is from Club Scrap

March 2017 Delft rubber stamps.

The next sketch is the monthly Club Scrap sketch.

You find this in the Club Scrap Chat Facebook group.

I just couldn't resist making another coffee card.

The colors of this month kit were again perfect for it!

Papers and stamps are all Club Scrap. The coffee stamps

are from a very vintage Mocca Java kit.

Thank you very much for looking

and have a creative day!

World Card Making Day 2018

Today especially I made time to make some cards!

Hope you did too!

For my cards today I used the Club Scrap 

You've got Mail hybrid kit

and the sketch from the 

CAS-ual Friday Blog.

I started with printing some backgrounds

and a card I made in Photoshop.

This is the card made in Photoshop.

After printing you just fold and the card is ready.

The background I used to make a more hybrid card.

After cutting the background I used some washi tape

to make the borders.

Next I made some stamps with this old alphabet

I have from Club Scrap 2004 Feb TYWL.

I first stamped the letter stamps and then used 

blue and brown oxide ink with the direct to

paper technique. With a special scissor the

stamps were cut.

The sentiment in the middle is made with 

the Club Scrap Retreat alphabet 2007 and some

small letters I have in my stash.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
