"Mirror Mirror" Zoom class

Hello Crafty Friends,

Tonight I followed a zoom class by Michael Strong. 

For him it was morning, but with the time difference

 it was evening for me.

The theme of the cards was "Mirror Mirror", using mirror paper.

These are all the cards I made, but Mike's cards where a little different.

This is because, I do not get a package with all the parts, but using

my own stash of papers, dies and stamps.

Card 1.

I made this into a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 size card

and found the moon image on google.

The stars I made with a SU! punch and the dots

with a white signo pen.

Behind the small suns (also a punch) are silver

circles, puched out.

The sentiment is printed with the computer.

 

Inside I used the star punch for decoration.

Card 2.

For this card I used the Bigz Clock die by Tim Holtz.

The clock is matt silver paper and inside shiny silver paper.

The disco balls are found with google.

The stars are made with the punch and also little 

silver sticker stars.

Card 3.

Silver sircles with yellow flowers all punched out.

The flower in the right hand top corner is a 

stamp by Michael Strong.

I stamped the flower twice and embossed the bottom one in 

silver and the top one with clear  embossing powder.

The leaves are hand cut.

Card 4.

Again the Tim Holtz Clock die in silver paper

and behind the clock soft silver glitter paper.

Varius punches used for decoration and sentiment 

made with the computer.

Card 5.

This mirror die, is not the one Mike used, but one I had from

Sizzix (very old one), but looks like a good mirror frame to me.

Flowers are punched out.

Thank you so much for looking

and have a lovely creative day!

Caffinated Christmas Card Callenge #7 part 2

Good day to my crafty caffinated friends!

Have you been playing along with the  #7

Caffinated Christmas Card Challenge?

For details click on the link.

Here is another card inspiration for you

that will hopefully tickle your creative mind and 

make you play along for this challenge with

coffee and stars.

The prize this month is by:

Twiddler's Nook.

For my card I used the Coffee Gnome by Miss Ink Stamps,

that I won in May  with my  gift card package.

You can see it HERE.

For the background I started with these two Tim Holtz

stencils and various oxide distress ink colors.

To decorate the card I used some thinlits from

 my Tim Holtz collection.

The snowflake is decorated with Nuovo glimmer

paste (it is a pity you do not see it on the picture).

The sentiment is from a Stampin'Up! set called

Merry Café..

Thank you for looking and 

have a caffinated day!

 

Critters in Cups 5

 

Hello Crafty Caffinated Friends,

It seems hard to stop playing with this set

Critters in Cups by 

Funky Fossil Designs.

Today I will share with you how I made this card:

I started the card with the background using the stencil 

Chatty Cups and worn lipstick and fossilized amber

distress oxide ink.

Next I added 2 different stamps on top:

scribble circles with frayed burlap distress oxide

and vintage script with black ink.

Than i stamped the images I wanted to use.

Not only the Critters in Cups, but also one of

the sentiments from the Coffee and Friends set.

I also added a rol of washi tape from the set Flowerful

Washi tape to put on the background panel later on.

Next the coloring of the images. I used the same 

distress oxide inks as I used for the stencil and the

stamping.

And here is the finished card with the washi tape

 on the left side and a little flower on top

of the head of the cat.

I nearly always have a piece of paper left, for 

I never cut the panel the right size for you never

know if you make a mistake (and than you can cut it off).

Thank you for looking.

Hope you enjoyed seeing the proces 

of how I make a card.

Enjoy your day!

Caffinated greetings,

Critters in Cups 4

Hello Crafty Caffinated Friends!

I cannot stop playing with the Critters in Cups

by Funky Fossil Designs and the matching

Layering Cups metal dies.

I started with cutting the cups in rainbow colors.

I folded the paper and made sure the die was just a little

over the folded line, so the cups stayed together.

When I finished with all 6 colored, I glued first and last 

pages together, so it became a little booklet.

Click on the pictures for a larger version, 

so you can see everything much better!

For all of this mini book I used the new paper pad

and other stamps from different Funky Fossil sets too.

Also some stencils.

So below you see all the pages of my booklet,

if you have any questions feel free to ask in the comment

box (not anonymous, because than I cannot answer you).

1. You are my cup of tea!

Critters in Cups 3

 

Welcome back my crafty caffinated friends!

It is another day of playing with the awesome  set

Critters in Cups by 

Funky Fossil Designs.

Today the dog is the main character on the card.

You may notice that the dog in the cup looks the other way

and may wonder how I did this. There is a mirror stamp, but I never

have a good result with it, so I stamp  real well and than 

scan the image in my printer. I save it as a jpg and

in my word program I reverse the image, print it,

color it and cut it to use on my card.

The images are colored with watercolor.

The cup is made with the Layering Cup die set.

Here the inside of the card.

The sentiment on the front and on the inside are from 

another Funky Fossil Designs set called 

Coffee and Friends.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative caffinated day!

Critters in Cups 2

Hello my crafty friends.

This Critter in Cups set by

Funky Fossil Designs 

is keeping me busy! I get new ideas all the time,

so here is my 3rd card with this set.

This time it is a tea card. 

This set can be used to make tea or coffee cards.

I has 3 animals: a dog, a cat and  a bunny.

Today it is the bunny's turn for a card.

I started by stamping a border of teabags 

on the background of the card.

Coloring them with brown and red watercolor ink.

Next I cut the papers and the cup (with the dies)

After coloring the bunny and cutting him out,

I assembled all the pieces and glued everything together.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative

caffinated day!

 

Critters in Cups

Hello Crafty Friends,

I am having fun with my new stamps and dies from

Funky Fossil Design.

I worked with the Critters in Cups clear stamp set

and the matching Layering Cup dies.

As you see the neighbourhood cat likes the card too!

For my card I stamped the background with the tea bag and coffee 

beans stamps from the Crittes in Cups set and colored them

with distress oxide inks. Also did some spattering on the background.

The Cup is decorated with the flower stamp from the set.

Fun bit of flower power.

So what do you think?

Tea or coffee today!

Thank you for looking

and have a creative caffinated day.

 

Happy 4th of July!

Good Morning my crafty caffinated friends!

Have you had your first cup today?

Sipping your coffee and browsing around?

Well today I want to wish my American friends

a very Happy and wonderful 4th of July.

I made this card with my new 

Funky Fossil Design stamps

called Critters in Cups.

This company is a UK based company, but you

can find the stamps in the USA too HERE.

For my card i started with making the background with

Funky Fossil stencils Starry night and Sunray

with distress oxide inks.

The cup is made with the Layering Cups die set.

The stars in gold are punched out with a punch from

my stash. The blue and gold are very shiny, but as 

usual this is not shown on the picture.

The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz stampset.

You see Fred (the cat) has decorated his tail to match

the Holiday. I drew his tail by hand, for the set has the

cat without its tail.

Wisging you all a wonderful day!

Creative caffinated greetings,
