23 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - day 1

 

Welcome Caffinated Crafty Friends,

Here is another delicious Coffee Hop with wonderful prizes over at the

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.

As usual I will be posting a coffee card every day

and today I have a z-fold card for you for the

Caffinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog.

For this card I used a coffee stamp by Michael Strong,

design paper from Stampin'Up! and a holly die from Tim Holtz.

The sentiment is made up from 2 stamp set, one being StampinÚp!

and one from my stash.

If you like to make this kind of card too, here are some basic instuctions:

base of the card is 8,5"x 11" and a strip of 7"x 3,5 " inch for the 

middle part of the card.

Fold  istructions: put the long side against you scoring board

and for the base card score at 2  1/8" and 4 1/4".

For the smaller part also the long side against the scoring board

you score at 3 1/2"and 5 5/8".

Now decorate your card as you like.

Thank you for looking

and I hope you will be back tomorrow!

Sukkot Blog Hop

Rosh Hashanah Blog Hop

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Tonight is the start of the Jewish New Year. We celebrate this in the synagogue, but also at home.

We send each other cards and the symbol you see very often is the apple with a jar of honey. This symbolizes the wish of a very sweet New Year.

On the 2nd day of the New Year we eat a pomegranate with honey.

 So that is also a fruit you see on the card. 

For the first card I used all SU! materials and papers.

The stampset I used is Harvest Hellos and Jar of Love.

The sentiment is from a very old set called Mazel Tov (2003).

This is the inside of the card with a Jewish sentiment

from my stash.

All coloring is done with stamping ink and a waterbrush.

For this card I made a stencil out of the Honeycomb Hello die.

And the pomegranate stamps and flower are from a set

you cout get for free in the SAB sale this year called

Perfect Pomegranate.

The gold embossed dove is SU!

and the sentiment is Hebrew - Shanah Tovah - a good year!

(by zumgaligali rubber stamps).

Here another version with the Perfect Pomegranate stampset.

Sentiment from my stash (unknown origine)

Wishing all my creative Jewish  friends and those who celebrate

 a very sweet, healthy, prosperous and creative New Year!

A good year!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 1

Welcome to another Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

You find all the details HERE.

I must tell you I have some big troubles with my computer.

My files are encrypted and cannot reach all my pictures to

make art. You may find more on instagram (@4hetty) this

time, because that is easier from my mobile phone.

Today I have been playing with pictures from the old ladies

club at my mother's  home for the elderly.

When all the 3d pictures of Christmas came from the storage,

I found some lovely ones that I could use for the

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. How about this cute owl?!

Here you see a lovely tea cup for Christmas in 3d cutting

on the front of this card.

When you open it, it has a special way to make it stand.

This is how the card looks sideways.

And this is the inside of the card with a sentiment of

a much loved VerveStamp.

Thank you so much for looking

and have fun with the coffee hop.

Cheers!

 

Coffee Blog Hop soon!

 

Coffee lovers Blog Hop - Day 8

Hello coffee loving crafty friends!

 

Here we are on the last day of the 

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

This time I have a project:

a Coffee Clutch:

Inside this clutch there is a surprise!

It happened that I found this in my stash:

So it is a Club Scrap project.

hen i saw this, I had no idea what it was going to be,

so I searched my computer and the Club Scrap website

but could not find instructions. Together with Julie Heyer

from Club Scrap, we foud it was a project from 

Brewed Awakenings and there is even a video tutorial:

https://vimeo.com/40943732.

I hope this way you can see it too or go HERE. 

Anyway I had a lot of fun making this.

All materials and stamps I used are by Club Scrap.

Another look at the clutch: decorated with 

a stencil and some cut aparts from my stash too.

The charm on the handle is a few beads, a spoon and a

cup from my stash. The flap of the pouch 

(see also detail below) is done with a coffee bean

embossing folder.

Here a close up of the charm on the handle.

The clutch is closed with magnets that came with the kit.

Voila! here is the inside: many pockets and places for decoration.

This is absolutely a very easy project to make:

a little folding, hardly any glueing and a little sewing

to hold this all together.

Inside each pocket there is a card with a little tab

(that came with the kit) and decoration.

I added some pictures, but you could also add

coffee recipes or quotes.

Tab 2 is a picture of me, that I use very often for

a profile picture. it is from a few years back.

Now my hair is corona long!

This tab is decorated with one of my 

Club Scrap coffee stencils. Maybe I will do 

something on the back too. There is still room to

add more.

In the last openening (the fold of the clutch)

I added a picture of my mom. One of the last times

we had coffee in her own home. She is now in a care home

and the hous is sold. She has dementia.

Thank you for looking and I hope you had as

much fun with all the coffee cards/projects as

I did here on my blog and on the

  Coffee Loving Cardmakers.

Thank you Amy Tsuruta, team and sponsors for

making this possible.

Stay safe, keep crafting

and enjoy your coffee.

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day 7

Welcome coffee loving crafty friends,

Have you seen all the wonderful artwork at

the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop?

And all the fun prizes there are to win?

For my card today I used 

Honey Bee Perfect Blend clear  stamp set

and Newton's Nook Slothy Coffee.

I started out by stamping the word coffee

with versamark and used clear embossing powder.

After spraying the pannel with Kitch Flamingo distress spray

(one of my favorites these days!) and using a piece of paper towel

to rub the words clean, I got this beautiful background.

The cute little beans from the same set are stamped in brown distress oxide ink.

As for the slothy, he is colored with Stampin'Blends

and cut out by hand. I found this lovely metal clock

in one of my drawers waiting to be used!

Thank you for looking!

Stay safe, keep crafting

and enjoy your coffee!
