Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop - Day 1

I hope you do, for a week long we are in for a lot of

coffee projects for the coffee blog hop on the

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.

You have to go there and read about it, for there are many

prizes to win by commenting and sharing your own artwork.

Here is my easel card for the first day:

I used some digital stamps from Graciellie Design 

and the paper and the sentiment are by Echo Park.

It is from their 6x6 inch  coffee design papers.

I colored the images with distress oxides and 

a blending tool. Then I cut the cup and the 

wooden heart out with scissors.

Here you see the easel card standing up against the sentiment

that is fastened on the inside of the card.

You see a doily behind the cup, that is a metal die from

my stash and the coffee bean ribbon is also from my stash.

Here you see the card sideways and how easy it is too make.

For a tutorial on the easel card, check my blog HERE.

Hope to see your artwork too!

Thank you for looking.

Stay safe

and keep crafting.

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - day 8

On the last day of  the 

Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter 2019 Blog Hop

I have two cards with a little surprise inside.

Here are card #14 and #15 for for the hop.

Again use of the last bits of penguin paper.

And here eeping inside both cards, where 

I added some coffee Christmastree decoration.

The snowman is made with the snowman punch

and stampset from Stampin'Up! Snowman Season.

The sentiment is from another SU! set.

The oval labels are two old SU! sets.

Inside there is this coffee cup

decorated with a tiny penguin from the background paper.

When you add the coffee cup die 

 towards the folded decorative paper

and have the die just a tiny bit over the fold,

you get a tiny cup card. Glue the lid on the front

punch a hole andyour Christmastree 

decororation is finished.

I added a piece of red hemp and with washi

tape to the card. This way the card stays nice

when yiou remove the washi tape.

Here I used the cup for the front

of the card too.

Don't foget to leave a comment HERE

for my GIVEAWAY stamp sets.

On Sunday I will anounce the winner.

Thank you for looking

and have a latte creative day.

2019 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: day 3 - tag it!

Welcome to another day of coffee goodness for the

2019 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Not much time today, so here is one

Artist Trading Coin.

Rules: 2.5 inch in size

and not for sale, just exchange

artwork: anything is possible!

Today I made a Liberation Artist Trading Coin tag.

Her in The Netherlands it is Liberation Day.

You can read about it HERE. 

Yesterday it was Rememberance Day, 

thinking about those who died during the 2nd World War.

My husband and I went to the special remembrance with

our King and Queen in Amsterdam.

So I decided i wanted to make someting special Dutch for today.

Some who follow my blog, know, orange is the color 

of our country, because our King is from The House of Orange.

The cup (Tim Holtz stamp) is in the colors of the Dutch 

national flag. I stamped the cup twice. The 2nd time on

white paper for coloring and added the cut out part with

a piece of foam tape to the tag.

Why a tag? Because the challenge on the 

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog is: TAG IT!

So out of a larger tag, I cut the ATC-tag.

It makes two coins out of the tag,

but no time today to make more.

The first part of the sentiment is by Verve Stamps

and the cuppa Joe is part of the Tim Holtz stamp.

Thanks for looking

and have a latte creative day!

Hanukkah and Coffee Lovers Blog Hop day 7a

Today I have another card for you on the

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

It is also Hanukkah all week and for

Hanukkah I usually give all my children

a money gift. These gift card pockets

from Create with TLC are just perfect.

Here is one card I made with the much loved

stampset from Stampin'Up! called Festival Fun.

This set is from 2004 and unfortunately not

available anymore.

I combined it with this gift pocket card from

Paulette from Create with TLC

and she told me I could share it with you all.

Of course inside the pocket is a coffee gift card!

See the by holding already his Hanukkah cup with coffee.

Of course I used for decoration one of  the gift

cards I received from one of my friends from 

the Facebook Coffee group, for here in The Netherlands

Starbucks has no gift cards.

The dreidel is one of the games that are especially played with

Hanukkah. To learn more about this game go HERE.

All the images are colored with pencil and the background paper

is also from Create with TLC.

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop{ day 6: Jewish New Year

Tonight  the Jewish New Year is celebrated

and of course we have special food on

the table. Not only we eat a sweet apple

with honey to wish each other a very happy 

and sweet year, but other food is also special.

Today I made a coffee/honeycake for desert.

You can find the recipe HERE.

Of course I made a matching tag for the 

Fall Coffeelovers Blog Hop.

I colored the background with oxide distress ink

and stamped my Club Scrap splatter 

and coffee ring stamp before embossing 

the tag.

The sentiment is by Create with TLC.

And the cup is a die by Tim Holtz.

I printed a piece of paper with stars of david

for cutting the cup. The apple is an old stamp

by Posh Impressions.

Halloween Punch Blog Hop

Hello Blog Hoppers!

I have some treat toppers for you. Over here in the Netherlands, we do not celebrate Halloween, but I just love the look of all the cards and other things for Halloween. Here we have a children's festival called St. Maarten, which is on the 11th of November and like Halloween the children come by your house with a Chinese lantern (not dressed up), sing their song and get a treat. By now the kids of my neighberhood know were the lady with the nice wrapped treats live and I cannot disappoint them.

This year I am making these treat toppers with funny candy inside.

For all the toppers I used the SU! Tope Note die as a base. Folded around the bag with candy they are all differently decorated. This one has ghosts on the top. The ghosts are made out of the bode of the owl, turned upside down and feet cut of. I am so happy with this punch!!

The next bag is the owl hunting for mice in the dark. The eyes are made with a scallop punch and two sizes of circle punches. The nose is done with a small egg punch.

The 3rd bag is a sock monkey, with monkeys in the bag. For the monkey I used a large circle punch (also for the hat only cut in half) and two sizes of oval punches. The eyes are out of the owl punch.

The ears are made out of the smalles oval punch, cut in half.

Now as for the blog hop, I am sure you want to know were to finde some more punch ideas:.
