Simon Says: Stencil It

 

For this week there is a stencil challenge on the 

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.

This is what I came up with:

I had seen Tim Holtz Easter/ Spring inspiration You Tube,

but I did not have the raffia (which I thought looked like fn).

I looked through all my stuff and asked around, but nobody

had any. Then today I went shopping and suddenly it was 

there waiting for me, yeah!!

So I had to try to make the carrot:

Borring! So I got out my stencils and new dies

and this is the result:

This is what I used:

Bottlebrush Trees CMS455

Crazy Talk CMS236

Bunny Stitch Thinlits

Thatched stencil THS104

Distress oxide inks

green raffia

Thank you for looking

and I hope you have a wonderful

creative and caffinated day!

Simon Says: Spring and/or Easter

 

Another challenge card, this time for the 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog.

The theme is Spring and/or Easter.

This time it is a Spring birthday card.

Outside the bulbs are popping up and the birds sing their song.

I found some lovely bird design paper in my $$ store and

used it for this card in combination with 

Michael Strong's small hummingbird clingmount stamp.

I made this gatefold card. The squares on top of the card

open like a lock. One is fastened on the right side

and the other on the left side of the card.

This is the inside and here you see that on both sides there is a square.

The sentiment i used on the front and on the inside is from

Tim Holtz Crazy Talk CMS236.

This is how the cards stands and you can see how the lock works.

The little hummingbirds are embossed in white or gold

and colored with pencil.

Thank you for looking

and I hope you have a caffinated creative day!

Simon Says: Easter/Spring

 

Good Morning fellow crafters!

Hope your day is going fine and Spring is here.

In my place - The Netherlands - it is cloudy and rainy.

Only from the flowers that are popping up in my garden 

I can see that Spring is here.

So my idea for the 

Simon Says Monday Challenge

is to make a fun and colorful card.

Got Tim's Crazy Catz out and some Easter colors

to make this fun card.

Here you can see the colors I used.

The egg stamp is from the set Mini Blueprints 2 CMS146 and

the sentiment is from Craze Talk CMS236.

I colored the images with copic ciao markers.

Thank you for looking

and wishing you a creative

and caffinated day!

Simon Says: Tag it!

Here I am with another card for Simon Says Stamp.

This time it is for the 

Wednesday Challenge

Tag it

and I also combined it with the 

Celebrate Spring 

    challenge on Instagram.   

For my card I used a #8 tag and colored it with

different green distress inks.

Next i die cut the honeycomb and used the same

distress colors a little on the honeycomb diecut.

Then I used stamps by Michael Strong

(the tulip and the bee) and colored the tulip with 

pencil on the kraft paper.

The sentiment is from Small Tag stickers from

Tim Holtz idea-ology.

Here is the finished tag.

The inspiration for this tag came when 

I saw the first tulip in my garden. 

Now I know for sure Spring is around the corner

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

 

Simon Says: Emboss it

Slothy Coffee

Here is my entry for the emboss challenge on
The Simon Says Monday Blog Challenge.
The challenge is:  embossing it.

I used two embossing folders for this card: the beans and the spotches.
The sentiment is printed with the computer, the bowler hat is from the
Tim Holtz set Crazy Things CMS237 and the slothy is a stamp by my
friend Donna (who is working on a digital oinline shop).

For coloring I used ciao copic markers.

Thank you for looking
and have a caffinated fun day!
