Rosh Hashanah 5780 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Rosh Hashanah Blog Hop.

Here you find cards for the Jewish New Year that will

start on the eve of September 29 until October 1st 2019.

To learn more about Rosh Hashanah/ Jewish New Year

 go HERE.

With a bunch of Stampin' Up! demonstrators we like to share 

the cards we made with as much materials from the 

current catalogue. If we used something else we will so 

tell you about it. Hope you arrived here from:

Lulu's Crafty Stamping Blog

Here are some cards I made to inspire you and

I tried to keep it as easy as possible.

I have used materials from this years catalogue

and some from the new Winter Catalogue.

Those will be available on September 3rd.

For my first 3 cards I used decorative masks for the backgrounds,

some decorative paper and 2 different stamp sets and a punch.

This Harvest Hallos Bundle is available in the 

Winter catalogue and the other set is

Slice of Happiness from this years catalogue.

For the background of the cards I used these

Pattern Party Decorative Masks.

On this card I used the apple stamp with the sentiment 

from Slice of Happiness. Of course I used the  paper punch.

You find this in the new Winter catalogue on p. 49.

The leaves are Leave Trinkets, little metal leaves

and I glued them here to the apple.

In the background I also used some sticky sequins.

I noticed when I was deciding where to add

the punched out apple, that the centre of the mask

and the apple shape, make a pomegranate!

For this card I used another of the Pattern Party Decorative Masks

(there are 4 in a package for only $ 6).

I also used some left over paper strips, that I used for there next cards.

As you can see i did not cover all of the background with the

mask, I left some white and very light spaces.

For these cards I used a pomegranate template

(for you to grab)

and beautiful decorative paper from the Winter catalogue.

It is called: Brightly Gleaming Speciality Designers Series Papers.

You will find it on page 32.

I like it when you see the paper also as a border around 

the image. The part that has been cut out can be re-used

on another card (soon to be seen in another blog post).

The ribbon is from my stash and the blue dots

are the In Color Facet Dots.  

And here another version with the pomegranate rubber stamp

and wish from Slice of Happiness. 

I absolutely love this paper, it is a pity that you cannot

see the shiny gold squares.

Simon Says: Midsummer Blues 2

I noticed that the Monday and Wednesdayblog

of Simon Says stamp have the same challenge:

Midsummer Blues!

As I had some more background paper from

the card for the Wednesday challenge, I desided 

to use the same background for the Monday 

challenge, but a totally different card.

See all the details of the challenge and

the beautiful work of the Design Team HERE.

For this card I used:

- stenciled background with Tim Holtz stencils

covered with SU! French Print background stamp

- stampset Beautiful You by Stampin'Up!

- stampset sentiments by Craft Sensations

- little paper flowers

- distress oxide inks

- SU! stempin'blends for coloring

Simon Says: Midsummer Blues

Here is my card for the Midsummer Blues challenge 

on the Simon Says Blog.

There is lots of swimming in the Summer in 

the sea and pools, that inspired me to make this card.

You find all the details of the challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog.

I started the card by printing the sentiment on the paper.

I had no right sentiment, so this was the solution.

Then I used the Tim Holtz stencils to make the background.

The dark blue circles are cut with SU! dies

and the fish is a stamp by Michael Strong.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Freshly Made Sketches

When I got the Tim Holtz wine and beer stamps out,

I decided to make some men cards. 

For this one I used the sketch by 

Frshly Made Sketches.

For this card I used Tim Holtz design papers

and rubber stamps.

The papers are from my stash of Tim Holtz papers

and the wine and beer stamps can be found here.

I colored the images with zig markers.

Also I added a matching envelope.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
