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.

Good Morning coffee loving crafty friends!

I am on the 

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog

again with more coffee cards.

These cards are made with 

Club Scrap papers, stamps and stecils.

Also I used a wonderful formula for Z-fold card shown by

Tricia (owner of Club Scrap) and you have 6 cards in a jiffy.

So the above 2 cards you find on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog,

the next two cards you find on the Club Scrap Blog

and here are two more cards for my own blog:

I absolutely love making these z-folds cards!

This card sums up my adiction!

The papers are all from the Club Scrap Coffeehouse set

and I also used the matching Coffeehouse stamps.

The coffee cup to go is made with a bigz sizzix die by Tim Holtz.

Here you see the card folded open and you see that I also used

some stencils. Unfortunately these stencils are not

available anymore.

The coffee cup behind the word coffee is the oldest

stencil from the Mocha Java set, that made me hooked

to making coffee cards!

The 2nd card uses stamps and stickers, that came with the Coffeehouse

kit and they combine perfectly. Cups and percolator are stamps.

The beans , coffee rings and sentiment are stickers.

The stamps are embossed in copper and a little

coloring with gathering twigs distress ink.

Thank you very much for looking,

stay safe and 

keep crafting!

  

 

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: Day 7

 

Good Morning Coffee Lovers,

Have you been visiting the 

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog

and noticed all the wonderful sponsors we have?

Today I share some of the stamps I have

by Club Scrap.

I made this cute little wallhanger with my Club Scrap 

stamps and papers.

The following sets were used:

Mocha Java 2002

Brewed Awakenings 2012

Coffeehouse 2019

Yes, I am a long-standing member and the fill my

coffee hobbit to the brim.

As you know, I just moved house, and still rearranging

my now smaller craft room and when you do this, you

find things you kept for future use. So this little wooden

box came out off a pile. It is only 1/4 inch deep and

I suddenly had an idea. The box is covered with old paper

distress paint and left overnight to dry.

Here you see how it looks when finished.

I measured the boxes, cut the papers

and stamped the images.

The spoons where stamped with versamark

and embossed with silver embossing powder.

In the backgrounds I stamped a few coffee rings

with gathered twigs distress ink.

On the backside another cup with my signature.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe, enjoy your coffee

and keep crafting!

A Bunch of Cards 2

Here is the rest of the cards, that I made yesterday.

When you have had a look at Tricia's instructions video

on the Club Scrap Blog, 

you have seen that with a few cuts, you make 6 cards.

Instead of 2 design papers I took one design paper

(see cards yesterday) and one plain white paper.

With the plain papers I used 3 different stencils to decorate.

For the first card I used the Shibori stencil and blue and yellow

oxide distress ink.

And to finish the card I used the images from the

Christmas in The Neighberhood.

I colored the images with markers.

It is a pity you doi not see the gold glimmer stickers

 I used for a bit of bling on the card.

The next card is Club Scrap Papers

and stencil and stamps by Funky Fossils Design.

You find the paw print background here.

The dogs are Pugs & Hugs and stamped on colored paper.

For the last card all images and stencil are Club Scrap. 

 I have this stencil from 2014.

The flower stamps and the bees are colored with markers.

You see these z-fold cards are great for any occasion.

Thanks so much for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting!

A bunch of cards

Inspired by the formula of z-fold cards on the

Club Scrap Blog I made a few cards myself

with Club Scrap papers and Michael Strong's 

butterfly rubber stamp.

There are also some more instructions

with a video by Tricia HERE.

All the cards have Dutch sentiments this time. This one says:

Congratulations. The background papers are a sheet from 

the Papillon kit.

For the top two cards I used watercolor paper for the butterflies.

First I stamped and embossed the butterflies in gold.

Then i made a mix of distress ocide colors, added a few

drops of water and dipped the butterflies in the ink.

After cutting out the were glued to the cards with 

foam tape only on the body, leaving the wings loose.

Here you see the card colded in a z.

The are ease to send folded and fit into a normal envelop.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting!

Ocean/Beach Challenge on Sisterhood of Crafters.

Today I play for The Sisterhood of Crafters

and something totally different from last week.

No Christmas, today it is:

Ocean or Beach:

For my card I used the following:

Club Scrap mermaids tail, bubbles and seastar from the Lagoon set

Funky Fossil Design mermaid scales stencil, 

She is Fierce stamps and Small Print Stamps.

I started with the stencil and texture paste.

On the paste I added speckled egg embossing powder.

This was left to dry and then I used a heat gun on the 

embossing powder. Learned this from one of Tim Holtz

live video´s (they are all on his Facebook).

Next I colored the paper with distress oxide inks

and also sprayed some silver mica distress spray on it.

Stamping an coloring the images I wanted to use was next.

A combination of ink and stampin'blends.

Here part of the finished card.

It is a pitty you cannot see the glitter of the

silver spray and the tiny silver holographic 

stickers I added.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting!
