Saturday sketch card: Tea

Even though I make a lot of coffee cards, it is time for tea today.

I love Michael Strong's tea pot stamp and do not use it often enough.

For my card i used this weeks sketch from the

CAS(E) this sketch! Blog.

For the background of this card I used some designers

paper from a paper block I have by Stampin'Up!

that goes with the A Nice Cuppa stamp set. From

this set i used the tea bag stamp to stamp with versamark

on the blue base of the card. 

The teapot is stamped on grean and embossed with silver

embossing powder. From a piece of scrap I cut one

teabag to add to the teapot.

The cup is also embossed in silver and the sentiment 

(from close to my heart) is embossed in white.

Yhank you for looking 

and have a creative day!

Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: LIKE

Another day in coffe blog hop land!

Have you added your card to the hop to win some awesome prizes?

Well,you find all info HERE.

Today for my card I was inspired by the card I noticed on

The Beau Monde Design Blog.

She made an awesome card with real coffee.

So I made some instant coffee and decided to use this for

the background of my card.

Here is the finished card

and this is how I did it:

I used watercolor paper

and sprayed water on top of it and then

I splashed some instant coffee on it.

I dried it with the heat gun and splashed some more 

drops on the coffee stain.

One of my favourite stamps is this coffee ring

stamp from Club Scrap and I randomley  used it

on this background.

This is a great set i allready have for along time.

It is Coffee Shoppe by CTMH and I love the lettering.

Stamping the cup:

first stamp with the outline stamp

then take the bold stampand before stamping

stamp first on a stencil and then on the paper.

This way you get a pattern on the cup.

So what is not to like?

I like the coffee stain

I like the Club Scrap Stamp

I like the coffee lettering

I like COFFEE!

Hope you like it too!

and be  creative!

Happy Father's Day

 So, I have been crafting a little more.

Only one card a day.

How could I pass on Father's Day without a 

card made by me? Impossible.

Now with all these mustaches I see popping up

around the internet and on cards, I love the idea

because my DH has a mustache so it is kind of

fun to see what I can come up with.

On the first card I used the small cloisonné leaves

by Michael Strong embossed in white on a piece

of scrap paper.

 The wonderful bow-tie vidieo tutorial is here:

 For the second card I used a paper pack by Bo Bunny and

and sentiments by CTMH (front) and Club Scrap (inside).

 

Have a creative day!

The tulips in my garden inspired me to make this card.

For this card I used:

Club Scrap Raku paper

Tulip and egg stamp by Michael Strong

Sentiment by CTMH

These tulips are in my garden and don't they look perfect?!

Have a creative day!
