Color Trowdown Challenge #574

I found the perfect challenge for my 

Club Scrap Coffeehouse papers!

It is the colorchallenge on the

Color Throwdown Blog.

I made another deskcalender in another size

that I used yesterday.

For this deskcalendar I used a piece of cardstock:

6 x 12 and scored it horizontal at

4,5 - 9 - 10 - 11 inch.

Papers and stamps are all Club Scrap

Coffeehouse ( kit from December 2019).

You find the stamps HERE.

This little calendar I bought in a hobby store,

but you can make your own by printing this calendar.

Cut all the months and staple it together.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Goodmorning! Happy Summer to all of you!

Wishing lots of great days enjoying the outdoors.

Today I played with the colors of  this weeks

Color Throwdow Challenge.

So, while sipping my coffee in the garden first,

I was inspired to make this birthday card.

I took out all the right colors and stamps.

I used all kinds of Stampin'Up! supplies.

The stamp sets I used are:

Summer Silhouettes

and Birthday Blossom (for the sentiment)

And here are the colors:

Cool Caribbean

Blushing Bride

Minti Macaron

Wisteria Wonder

Finishing of the card with sticky white pearls in the

heart of the flower and a lavender ribbon at the bottom.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Simon Says: Frame it!

So I learned that Hero Arts Rubber stamps is celebrating

45th anniversary and I looked at my stamps and found some real nice

ones I still have from the beginning when I started stamping.

I shared them on my instagram and heared a lot of comment on the

lady with the hat stamp, so why not use it again to make a card?!

So I used the stamps for the Frame it challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog.

With a die and several layers of paper I created a frame

around the lady with the hat.

I chose the colors of the 

Color Throwdown Challenge

of this week.

 I added some tiny paper flowers to the hat 

in the right colors matching the papers.

In the corners some holographic purple stickers for some bling.

These are the stamps:

C2919 Take Time

E2490 Hat with big bow

both by Hero Arts.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Today I was inspired by the colors of the Color Throwdown Blog

to make my card with a printed image.

Here you see the colors: yellow, orange, green and blue.

So I printed this:

It is a free printable from a Facebook group I belong too:

Printables for your Junk Journaling with TLC.

Next I took out these four colors of Distress oxide sprays

and sprayed them on the printed image.

When completely dried it looked like this.

I also sprays some water on top to make the colors 

a little lighter.

With a few Stampin' Blends for coloring I added

some extra color here and there.

And this is the finished 4 x 5,5 inch card front and back

with a ribbon tied in the middle.

I stamped the birthday sentiment with some clear stamps

from my stash. This way I could see clearly where to add my

sentiment. I also added some blig with sticky gemstones.

And here an extra look on the backside.

Thanks Paulette for this wonderful printable.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Coffee Gift Card

I just got a new block of design papers,

all kinds of purple designs, so perfect for

the next challenge.

The color challenge over at the

Color Throwdown Blog.

And when I saw the sketch on the 

Sketch Saturday Blog,

I had an idea for my card.

I have this pocket die in my stash and

i cut out the pocket and from one design

and the rectangle from another piece.

With the Tim Holtz coffee die I made this cup

with grey paper and some left over design paper.

For the background I used the Tim Holtz

coffee cup embossing folder with kraft paper

and some purple distress ink.

Some stamping with Altenew's coffee ring stamp.

Here you see the finished card.

Inside the pocket there is a coffee gift card

and the cup. On the back of the cup you can

write a personal wish.

The purple crinkle ribbon in the background

is by  DL.ART.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
