Mojo Monday 508

My card today was inspired by the Mojo Monday 

sketch you see below.

It is not exactly, but I guess you can see the inspiration!

I started with a piece of black cardstock and

embossed it with the candy hearts embossing folder.

Then i added some gold and copper gilding wax.

This is the beautiful result.

This stamp is by Honey Bee Stamps

from the set Coffee Break.

I stamped it twice: one time on red paper

and one time on pink paper. The inside of the 

cup is colored with markers.

For the inside of the card I used 

Altenew stamps. They are from the set

Coffee Talk.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Simon Says: Love is in the Air.

In honor of the Chinese New Year

that starts on Feburay 5th

and will be the 

year of the pig, I made some 

pig Valentine cards:

I did not make them by myself,

I had some help!

We want to enter our cards for the 

Love is in the Air challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog.

We started with downloading this cute pig image HERE

and after printing we colored the pigs with pencil and markers.

This card is made by my grandson.

He embossed the background and added some ink

and stamped the sentiment. I cut the pigs for

him and after he punched out some

circles I added them with a stapler to the card.

As there where some pigs left, we also

added some inside.

Here is one of my cards.

For the background I used two different

Tim Holtz stencils and the mini heart stamp

by Michael Strong and oxide distess inks.

The pig is colored with markers.

The sentiment is a freebie for you. 

I made it up in Photoshop. Grab it by

clicking with your right mouse button

and save it to your computer.

For my 2nd card I started with the direct to 

paper technique with oxide worn lipstick ink.

Next i stamped the xoxox Club Scrap stamp

and the sentiment ( Heart to Heart 2009).

After coloring and cutting out the pig,

I also stamped the mini hearts on a seperate

piece of paper and cut them out. Both are added

with foamtape.

Thank you so much for looking

and have a creative day!

Vintage Printables

I am having fun with my new digital images from

Create with TLC. I bought all these images

from Paulette's Etsy Shop HERE.

My grandson loves lions and other wild animals

and once i had these images, I suddenly had all

these ideas for cards.

The cards are all made with photoshop

and printed on my computer to make them into

real cards. Please take a look here:

All te sentiments are by Create with TLC too.

You might find some freebies on her BLOG.

Do click on the pictures to have a more close-up view

of all the cards.

The ribbons are from my photoshop stash.

Here you see the complete images that you

get in the animal set.

 The flowers were a freebie and the giraffes came as a gift

after I bought the animals.

Hope I given you some inspiration.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Simon Says: Have a Heart

Have you downloaded Michael Strong's piggy

for the Chinese New Year here? 

I try to come up with more ideas than just for the New Year.

How about a Valentine's piggy?

I got the idea foir this card when I noticed this weeks

challenge on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog:

Have a Heart.

For my card I used the following: 

Michael Strong pig freebie

heart embossing folder

Michael Strong heart rubber stamp

pink ink

card stock

The background is embossed with sweet hearts

with a touch of pink ink.

The heart is stamped with neon pink and colored 

with a softer pink marker.

The pigs are printed and colored with a marker.

The sentiment I made up with the computer,

for I had no stamps fitting this card.

As I made it up myself, I share it as a freebie

for you. Feel free to grab the sentiment.

I also decorated the inside of the card with a piece

of left over pink paper from the front panel and

the smaller heart stamp.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Simon Says: Alcohol, Drinks or Inks

Inspired by the challenge on the 

Simon Says Stamp Blog,

I made two cards today

The challenge says:

Alcohol, Drinks or ink.

For my first card I used digital images from

Graciellie Design.

She has some beautiful papers and designs

that are perfect to save on postage (even though

one day i would love some of her real stamps!)

I used the digital design paper for the background,

but the cup is colored with markers.

The front design of the heart image

is cut out of a piece of left over design paper

and layerd with foam tape to the other

punched out pieces.

My second card is real stamps.

For the background I  used a stencil and some 

gesso and colored it with distress ink.

The drinks are stamps by Tim Holtz

as well as the sentiment.

The drinks are colored with distress markers.

The flowers are premade from my stash.

Here a close up of the wonderful background.

Thank you for looking and 

have a creative day!

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge: Pink & White

Great find, these Club ScrapValentine stamps from 2009

(Heart to Heart) in my stash and combining it with

a Love Cynthia stamp is a perfect combination.

I made this card for the pink & white color challenge

on the Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

I started out gathering various shades of pink

stamp inkpads to make the background.

The "be mine heart stamp"is stamped on a seperate

piee of paper as well as the little girl stamp.

The heart is stamped in pink and colored the

heart with a blending tool, leaving the words white

to stamd out.

The girl is colored with blending markers by SU!

and cut out. Added to the card with  foam tape.

This is the inside of the card.

Club Scrap sentiment and more hearts.

Of course a matching envelope

and some sticky pink pearls for extra bling.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Calendar Project

 Yes, I am still trying to organize my craftroom!

While doing so, you find all kind of fun  projects

you never made or finished.

I came across this project from 2013. It is a calendar

and I just never made it. Now I want to make it.

January is the perfect month to make a calendar.

I lost the instructions, so I wrote to Club Scrap

if they still had it and yes, they found me the instructions.

So this project comes with a big wooden block,

that I painted black and decorated with a

Mocha Java panel from my coffee paper stash.

I also got out my Club Scrap coffee stamps

(you are not surprised, I guess :-)) and decorated

parts of the project.

Front and back of some of the parts.

The tag is the front of the calendar.

It also came with 12 tags and these are decorated with 

Mocha Java (2007) and Brewed Awakanings (2012) stamps.

So here is the finished project seen from the front.

Sideways you see how the parts

are constructed on the wood block.

And also the back of everything is decorated.

Each month is taken out of the 

back and placed on the front book clip

according to what month it is.

Julie Heyer of Club Scrap has her version

on the Club Scrap Blog HERE

and when you pop over,

you see it is totally different from mine.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!
