Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day 5, 6 and 7

 

Hello caffinated creative friends,

Here another day of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

For my American friends it is Thanksgiving today,

but here in The Netherlands it is a cold and rainy

normal Thursday.

These are the cards I made for the last few days. Two I have posted to 

my instagram account - 4hetty - for I had no time to post here.

Instagram is quick and easy.

This is #457 on the linky party

and I used papers and dies from Funky Fossil Designs.

The snowflakes are dies from Stampin'Up! and the

gingerbreadman is a stamp from my stash from the dollar store.

This is card #539 in the linky party and used the Tim Holtz

coffee cup die with Funky Fossil Designs papers.

The stamps are from the Nordic Noel stampset.

And now for today's card:

The background of this card #636 is made with a pumpkin embossing

folder with a touch of orange ink on the pumpkins.

The girl is a stamp from the set She is fierce by

Funky Fossil Designs, as well as the cup from the

Layering Cup die set.

The sentiment is made with the computer.

The gold embossed pumpkin stamp is by Michael Strong.

When you open the gold ribbon on the handle of the cup,

 there is the wish for a  Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you for looking

and I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving

with your family and/or friends.

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day 3 and 4

leaves and flowers from my stash.

The sentiment is made with the computer,

For todays card I used the same design paper

as above as well as the layering cup dies.

World Lion Day

 

Hello my Crafty Friends,

After the cats come the big cats, so today it is World Lion Day.

I did not know, did you?! I just heard it on the radio while driving

to visit my mom in the carehome.

So this gave me an idea to make a card. I have Donna's 

On Safari stamps

and this comes with a lion. You find them at the 

Funky Fossil Designs website.

Even the cat liked the card :-)

I used yeloww paper (Club Scrap) for stamping the lion.

So I only colored the heart, the lion's manes and the tail.

Cut it out wit an oval die and an oval scallop die for a

 piece of prown paper. Next i stamped the green paper 

(Club Scrap too) with the trees and grass of the same On Safari

stamp set. Coloring with alcohol markers.

I also used the Tribal Marks stencil for the background 

and the inside of the card.

Approved by the cat!

Thank you for looking

and have a roaring day!

International Cat Day

 

Hello my crafty friends,

Besides coffee I am also a cat lover.

Although i do not have a cat of my own anymore,

I have 2 cats from the neighbourhood who come

here nearly every day.

So because it is International Cat Day,

I also made a cat card.

I started with this flower stencil (Blossom) and pink and

yellow distress oxide ink.

I used some washi tape to create a border on the card.

The stamps I used are by Funky Fossil Designs

and is called Flowery Felines (design by Donna).

I stamped the tiny flower on top of the stencil in the

heart of the large flowers. A tiny leave I stamped when 

the stencil was lifted off.

Here you see the finished card.

The image of the cat is raised with foam tape.

As it is impossible to cut the cat whiskers,

I have a trick for that. Stamp the image first

on the card and the cut out image you lau on top of that.

This way you can cut of the whiskers, because they

are already on the card.

Thank you for looking and cuddle a little

extra with your cat today!

Pride Amsterdam

 

Today is a big event in Amsterdam: The Canal Parade.

All week there have been activities and you can read all about it on

Pride Amsterdam.

The theme this year is: My Gender, My Pride.

In honor of this big event I made this card:

I used the Motley Crew clear stamps designed by Donna

and are available at Funky Fossil Design.

You find also the fun background paper there.

The image is colored with alcohol ink markers

and cut out. The heart is covered with glossy accent.

I added the image with foam tape to the background.

Little off cuts are used to decorate the inside 

of the card.

Thank you for looking and feel free to do

however you feel like. Be Yourself!

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,

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