Cupcake Inspiration Blog: Color Challenge

Here is my card for this weeks 

Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

It is a color challenge: Pink, Yellow and Blue.

A lovely combination.

It has been some time I used Michael Strong's

hand stamp, but these days with a lot of washing

your hands I had to get that stamp out.

So I started with thre colors of oxide inkpad: fossilezed 

amber, tattered rose and broken china. 

Next I got the egg stamp out (also Michael Strong).

With walnut stain I stamped the eggs on the background

and on an extra piece of paper.

The extra eggs are embossed with clear embossing powder

and colored with fossilized amber and broken china ink.

The hand is embossed with pink embossing powder

and colored with tattered rose ink and then cut out.

The sentiment is made with the computer.

After everything is arranged on the card I added 

a few sticky pearls.

And here are my other hand cards:

This one I made for the Simon Says Stamp

Spring challenge on instagram.

Spring is tulips, but this Spring we are 

more busy wth washing our hads,

Do enjoy the flowers too!

This cards represents especially the washing of the

hands with all the blue ink in the background.

Stay Safe,

Stay Healthy

and wash your hands!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Purple Day: Epilepsy Awareness Blog Hop

EPILEPSY.

Please take a moment and read.

Purple Day is a global grassroots event formed with the intention to increase worldwide awareness of epilepsy, and to dispel common myths and fears of this neurological disorder.

Further intentions of this movement are to reduce the social stigmascommonly endured by many individuals afflicted with the condition; to provide assurance and advocacy to those living with epilepsy that they are not alone in their ongoing endurance; and to initiate individuals living with the condition to take action in their communities to achieve these aims.

The day occurs annually on March 26.

Club Scrap Monthly Sketch Challenge: March

Here is this month sketch on the

Club Scrap Chat Forum.

A great sketch for my basket of 

Club Scrap papers.

 Here my finsihed card on a pile of

mini pizza boxes I found tucked away

in one of my closets (Julie, what can we

do with these??)

See the bottle caps I used? Which kit was that?

And some paisley embossing in the background.

And here a more close-up look of my card.

Everything is Club Scrap, but from various kits

I have. The design paper is from the

Western Hybrid  kit, printed with the computer.

Bugaboo digital stamps: New Release

Here I am with the

Bugaboo Digital Stamps

new release: a cutie for Easter.

You can see all the various cards

by the Design Team on the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

The new image is called:

 Wee One - Easter Bunny Boy.

I colored the image with Stampin'Blends and cut

the image out before gluing it to the background.

Two design papers matching the image. The grass is 

punched out and the sentiment is by Tim Holtz.

I stappled the sentiment on the design paper

before adding it to the card. 

Some of the left over pieces

 I added inside the card.

Don´t let them go to waste.

Thank you for looking

and stay safe,

stay healthy

and keep crafting.

Box with cards: Daffodils

So it all started with cleaning my craftroom

and finding tucked away this wonderful

box of cards. I found it on my blog in May 2010,

but the links to the tutorial did not work anymore.

I searched my computer, but I did not find any document.

So here is a new template to make this box for

the cards 4x6 inch.

You need a piece of cardstock of 11 x 8,5 inch.

Follow the template for scoring and folding:

Here is a new box for my daffodil cards.

Today I made these cards with the Club Scrap

Daffodil stamps (March 2016) and the same technique 

as I did yesterday.

First i stamped the daffodils and

embossed them in white.

Today I start with green and yellow ink for the card.

Add inkt to the craft sheet and spray water.

Get the ink on the paper and see the white embossed

parts resist the ink.

After watching Tim Holtz live video yesterday,

I had to get some stencils out!

Here is the finished card.

For the second card I also added some orange too.

And here is the other finished card.

There is room for 8 cards in the box, so

I guess you will see some more tomorrow.

Thank you for looking,

stay at home

stay safe

and keep crafting!

Spring is here!

Today I have been playing with my rubber stamps by Club Scrap.

The set is called In Bloom (April 2019).

Along the road here I see all the crocusses bloom

and the colors inspired me for the cards.

So here I show you how the cards were made:

Picking the same colors as on the picture,

purple, yellow and green. On the paper I embossed

the crocus stamp in white (hard to see now).

On my craft sheet I added the ink colors 

and sprayed some water on it.

Here are two papersafter I added the 

colors from the craft sheet. On the left 

you see the paper where I added the white

embossed image. It works as a resist.

The right paper is just colored,

ready for stamping.

Here the crocus stamp I used 

and black ink for stamping.

The finished card with a sentiment

 from the same In Bloom stamp set.

This is the card with the white embossed

crocusses in the background.

Thank you for looking

and have a crafty day!

Enough time now while staying home.

Stay safe and healthy.
