Happy New Year!

It was a great coffee year 2018, so here a gris of some

of my postings from this year. So how about ending this year

with another coffee card:

With thiscard I say cheers to the New Year

and hope it brings you all what you dream of.

I made the card for the challenge

on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog.

The background of this card is embossed with the

Stampin'Up! knitted embossing folder. I colored it

with a little brushed corduroy distress oxide ink.

The cups are thinlits by Stampin'Up!, the sleeve

is a bit of  Tim Holtz design paper.

The numbers are rubber stamps by Michael Strong

embossed with gold embossing powder.

This sentiment is an old stamp by Club Scrap

(2006 After Five)

Inside the card I added a Verve Stamps sentiment

(unfortunately this shop closed) and behind the 

sentiment is a piece of embossed paper with the

Tim Holtz coffee cups.

I think this sentiment says it all and hope it counts for

all of you. Wishing you wonderful celebrations and 

see you soon in the next year with more coffee goodness!

Thanks for looking

and health and creativity for 2019!

Cheers to the New Year!

The New Year is nearly there. How are you celebrating?

Me and dh are off to friends and will bring a toast

to the New Year and hope it will be a good one!

My card is for the Simon Says Stamp

Wednesday Challenge Blog where

it is Anything Goes!

On the top of the card you see the stars made with a Tim Holltz

and Broken China Oxide distress ink.

The sentiment is by Club Scrap. It is from the year 2006

and the set was called After five.

The penguins are rubber stamps by Michael Strong.

The are embossed with black embossing powder.

The glassed are cut out of silver kraft paper with

Aliexpress thinlits. The ice flows are torn up pieces

Last Christmas cards for Limited Runs Progressive Challenge #22

So here are my last Christmas cards!

Here is the first card with the fun elf and his candy cane.

So happy I had some candy cane paper for the 

background. 

I hadto use this fun elf for the progressive

challeng on the Limited Runs Facebookgroup

to get a new image for the next challenge.

My 2nd card was inspired by a card I

found on Pinterest, i just changed it to my way to use.

You find the card and video HERE.

The elf is colored with pencil on both cards.

The candycane paper and the sentiment are 

both by Stampin'Up!.

You can lift the sentiment from behand the

baker's twine and this way the card opens up.

Now you can write your message on the card.

it is fun to leave the message behind the image.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

 

Sunday Stamps Sketch 194

The last few days of the year are here

and so it is time for some New Year cards.

I have these fun dies from Aliexpress

and they are great for New Year cards.

I used the sketch of the 

Sunday Stamps for my card.

The champagne bottle was cut out of 

green paper. I first wanted to use the 

negative green paper, but than I added the 

gold]\bottle and the white paper behind

it and yes, this was it. Brown/gold bakers twine

around it and some brushed corduroy ink

around the border of the paper.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment

on a piece of kraft paper (same color as the

the card). But it was too empty, so in 

between the words the  glasses were

added and cheers to the New Year!

The sentiment is from Stampin'Up!

(Banners for Christmas).

Thanks for looking.

Wishing you all a wonderful

 and creative New Year.

Caffinated Christmas!

You all know about my coffe addiction, so when I noticed

these beautiful Christmas cups, I had to use it on a card.

I made my card for the

Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

So I used a tiny bit of yellow too!

I was inspired by the design too to make 

my coffee cup!

I started out with my favourite Club Scrap

coffee ring stamp. I made the background with

green and red rings.

To make it a bit more Christmassy I added

some yellow stars with this Tim Holtz stencil

and fossilized amber oxide distress ink.

The background looks like this now.

On top I added the paper coffee cup.

I added the wish, the baker's twine

and some jingle bells.

Next to the Starbucks sign I added extra

stars with foam tape and a tiny red sticky pearl.

Inside the cup I added a spoon (Club Scrap)

with a New Years wish.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap: Peace on Earth!

Celebrting Peace on Earth is the most important.

With so much going on in the world, this is what I wish for in 2019!

I made my card inspired by the sketch on the 

Club Scrap Facebook Group.

I used various of the old papers and an old stampset

called: Wow Holiday! from 2011. This set has a big

collage stamp that is used for my card.

I stamped the image twice. First on white paper

with black embossed and colored with a dotted

stencil and a star stencil. The second time I stamped

the collage stamp on kraft colored paper and embossed

the image with white embossing powder. This last 

image i cut up in strips and fitted them with foam tape

on top of the white image.

For the sentiment I used the celebrate thinlit

and part of one of the sentiments.

If only a card could make this world a little beter.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative Christmas.

Christmas ornaments

Hope all of you have a wonderful time

with your family and friends.

 

I share with you this Christmas ornament.

You can hang it in your tree and it is decorated on

both sides. The baker's twine is in between the 

two Nonagon images (rubber stamps by

Michael; Strong).

Inside the heart of the stamp I used the Tim Holtz

Tiny Snowglove thinlits and the Tim Holtz

Christmas sentiment stickers.

I add my ornament to the

Cut It Up Blog

where they have this Holiday Tic-Tac-Toe.

I started out stamping the Nonagon rubberstamp

and embossed it with silver embossing powder.

Then cut them out by hand with scissors.

As you see the close up of the finished ornaments,

I added tine sticky gemstones for the bling, 

when the ornament is dangling free.

I love the tiny snowglobe, my new favorite.

Behind the globe I added a pice of silver scalloped

circle die cut.

Thank you all for looking

and have a creative Christmas.
