Happy Halloween!

 Hello Crafty Friends,

I am in my new home unpacking many...too many boxes. My craft room is smaller than in my other house, so now I have to rearrange and get some things out, but that is a hard choice as all you crafters know! But it has to be done.

So tonight Tim Holtz was live and while he was sharing his techniques and inspiration,

I took out my Snarky Cats for Halloween, that arrived when we were packing up,

so  this was the first opportunity that I could use them.

Here is the first one.

Background is an embossing folder.

The cat and pumpkin are colored with distress ink.

The cup with the paw is by Newton’s Nook.

The background is created with a circle die  ,

Some sponging and water droplets.

The spiderweb around it is with some silver glitter glue,

Much more fun in person.

Here I all used an embossing folder for the background.

Coloring with different distress inks.

Happy Halloween!

Thanks for looking,

stay safe

and keep crafting,

Good Morning Crafty Friends,

It is Friday again and here we are with another

Freebie from the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

It is Scarecrow Leaves.

Thankful for Pinterest I got this idea for my card.

I found all the details and a video HERE, you might

like it too.

I found some fun fall design papers in one of my paper

blocks from my stash to create this card. I also happen

to have a die for the sentiment that fits the design perfectly.

I colored the image with Stampin´Blends and cut it

out to stick to the front with a piece of foam tape.

These fun fold cards are great for any occasion.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting.

 

Bugaboo Digital Stamps: Tuesday New Release

Good Morning Crafty Friends,

You find 2 new images on the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

I used the Thanksgiving Turtle first

but there is an other one and you see it too.

For the background I used a piece of paper I had in 

my stash and the color was perfect to use for what i had in mind.

I colored the turtle with pencils and cut him out. Here in 

The Netherlands we do not celebrate Thanksgving, so 

I made this Autumn greeting cards. The leaves are a 

Tim Holtz long strip die with all kind of Autumn leaves.

Here is the other new image: the winter turtle

and isn't he cute?! I colored the turtle with pencil

and the sentiment is from an old Stampin'Up! set.

For the background i used some design papers

from my stash.

Beside the ribbon I also added some holographic 

gemstones that look like little icicles.

BB Basketball Boy

Isn't this a wonderful boy-image!

I love it and even though my grandboys do not play basketball

they will love it too.

So I found some on,ine baskeball image and made it into a digital

background, printed it as design paper.

Colored the image with my Stampin'Blends (these are

markers by Stampin'Up!), cut out the image and 

glued it to the blue background and cut it out with a 

small border. The sentiment is printed with the computer

and I found this piece of star ribbon in my stash.

Simon Says Fall Color on Instagram

Simon Says Stamp has many challenges:

one on Monday, one on Wednesday, but also one

on Instagram every month.

As you can see above the theme this month is Fall Color.

For my card I used images from

Funky Fossil Design.

I used:

She is Fierce

Bees Knees

and Small Print

These are the distress inks I used to make the background

and of course I used the new crackling campfire.

I stamped the colorors on my Tim Holtz glass plate,

added some water and took my paper trough the colors.

Then I stamped the images I was going to use

and colored these with zig markers.

The card is finished off with a sentiment and a few

golden gemstones.

Anything but a card

Good Morning Crafty Friends,

No cards today, but still some craft project with an image by Bugaboo Digital stamps. 

Have a look on the 

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog

to see what other designers have come up with.

For my project I used:

JJ- Coffee to go

This box has a magnet on the back and is on my fridge.

It holds small pieces of paper to write my shopping list.

 

This is the original box. The papers where

finished and I did not like the design anymore.

The box is 5 x 3,5 inch to give you an impession

of the size. Because it is so habdy I decided to 

recycle it.

I started by covering the box with the zigzag design paper.

I did not have a template. I put some dubble sided tape

on the box and wrapped the paper around and cut, folded and glued

the paper to the box. I did not cover the back for the magnet is

there and I was afrais the box would get to heavy and

would not stay on my fridge.

Then I cut a strip of coffee bean paper to add in the

middle of the box and a ribbon around it.

The girls is colored with Stampin'Blends and 

the sentiment is printed with the computer.

New paper for shopping lists added and it is

back on my fridge again!

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting.
