Cards for the Jewish New Year

This year I have started quite early making my cards for

Rosh Hashana - the Jewish New Year. It starts on the eve

of September 29. ut than again, I am ready to send them out!

It happened, because I found this great stampset in the new

Stampin'Up! catalogue, called Slice of Happines.

You might say: isn't the apple always a symbol on Jewish New Year cards?

Yes, it is, but so is the pomegranate. This fruit is used on the 2nd evening

to say the special blessing for something new.

I also found this wonderful stencil on FunkyFossil Designs.

It worked perfect for the backgrounds I created.

The background is made with the direct to paper method

and after dried I used the stars of the stencil on it.

The sentiment is from an old SU! set called Mazel Tov.

Here you also see the scrols in the background and 

those come from an other set called L'Chayim.

I hope you get some inspiration for your own cards.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Limited Runs progressive challenge #29

Here is my card for the 

Limited Runs Progressive Challenge.

When you play along and share your card

in the facebook group, you get a new image every time

and of course a chance to winn images!

The background is a paw embossing folder

and the eyes are googly eyes glued to the image.

Thi image is colored digital. I printed the image twice

and cut out the cat to add with foam tape to

give it more dimention.

The digital sentiment is by

Create with TLC.

The paws are done with a stencil.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Ribbon and bow - Bugaboo image - die cut

Patterned paper - Bugaboo image - pearls

Ava Candy Cane

(remember all stamps this week are half prize)

Also this is the movie theme and you won't believe it,

but I seen a lot of  xmas movies, but this one I misssed,

so I watched the trailer and now it is on my xmas list!

I colored the image with stampin'blends and

cut the image with a circle die. 

The background in green with a matching scallop die.

Made it look like a bauble in a tree and added

tree little sticky pearls.

I found this matching sentiment on the internet by

googling for Elf movie quotes.

the cut off part to decorate the inside of the card.

Bugaboo Christmas in July 3

The challenge for today on the

  Bugaboo Challenge Blog 

is to make Anything But a Card.

For this I mada a goody bag:

Those who follow my blog know I love to make

coffee things and today ...as Santa is Coming to Town,

I make him a goodie bag.

I used a real paper bag and decorated it with

this cute Poppi Xmas Cocoa image

(and don't forget the images are half prize now!).

I colored the image with SU! Stampin'Blends

and cut the image with a circle day and matching

scallop die for the red paper.

I used some scraps to make the background banner

and a gold clip to attach it to the bag and this way

the bag is also closed.

The paper flowers are attached to the colored image

with yellow brads.

The sentiment is by Create with TLC.
