Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge March: Green

 

Goodmorning Caffeinated Crafty Friends!

The challenge for the 

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog

is Coffee and Green this month

and I created these two cards:

I keep on seeing these Fractured Panel technique cards

and I had a go at it. For both my cards I used my

Michael Strong large and small coffee stamp.

The sentiment is prented with the computer.

For my 2nd card I used a grid background and a square

punch. This is a fun technique I love to do.

You find this greed for free on Mike's blog HERE.

Thank you for looking and I hope you have a caffinated

fun and crafty day!

Simon Says: Spring and/or Easter

 

Another challenge card, this time for the 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog.

The theme is Spring and/or Easter.

This time it is a Spring birthday card.

Outside the bulbs are popping up and the birds sing their song.

I found some lovely bird design paper in my $$ store and

used it for this card in combination with 

Michael Strong's small hummingbird clingmount stamp.

I made this gatefold card. The squares on top of the card

open like a lock. One is fastened on the right side

and the other on the left side of the card.

This is the inside and here you see that on both sides there is a square.

The sentiment i used on the front and on the inside is from

Tim Holtz Crazy Talk CMS236.

This is how the cards stands and you can see how the lock works.

The little hummingbirds are embossed in white or gold

and colored with pencil.

Thank you for looking

and I hope you have a caffinated creative day!

November Christmas coffee card challenge

Happy Sunday caffinated creative friends!

Here I am with my entry for the

Caffinated Christmas Card Challenge.

This time I used mainly Tim Holtz materials.

The cup is a die by Funky Fossil Design.

The design papers are Tim Holtz as wel as the star stencil

and the holly stencil on top and bottom.

The sentiment is a combination of a Tim Holtz and a Honey Bee stamp.

The robin is from the Snarky Cat Christmas set CMS416.

And this robin is from the Stamptember 2020 Snarky Cat set

as well as the cat, but his hat is from the other Snarky Cat set.

The poinsettia and the holly is from a set from my stash.

Thank you for looking and have a 

wonderful creative Sunday!

Tuesday Morning Sketch #681 Bird

 Dear Crafty Friends,

It has been some time since I did a sketch

and today I felt like doing one.

I choose this sketch from

  Tuesday Morning Sketches.

As you can see besides the sketch, it also

needs a bird. For my card I used all

materials by Tim Holtz.

I used Tim Holtz mini blueprint cms170 stamps

and colored them with markers. Papers are from a 

8x8 inch paperpad Christmas #TH94085.

On the pumpkin I did some glossy accent as

well as on the eye.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

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.

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!

Pinterest and looked perfect for this row of coffee cups.

It is a design paper circle in the background and 

dotted washi tape added to the the colored image

Day 4 and 5 of the new stamps by Funky Fossil Designs

Dear Crafty Friends,

I have been so busy with work and makes, 

that I have not shared the other two new sets by

Funky Fossil Designs.

The 4th new stamp set is called Blooming Wreath.

This is a wonderful set with a flower wreat,

flowers and cute birds. I have not even fully explored all

that is possible with this set but here are my first two

cards. One you see above and was started with

a piece of paper from the new 6"x 6" paper block

Spring geometrics.

There is also wonderful new washi tape:

Monochrome set of two rolls.

With only 2 flowers and a sentiment the card is

quickly finished.

The next card is also made with the flowers from the 

set. These roses come in two sizes and the larger one 

has a leave too. I colored the roses with zig markers

On top of the rosed I added silver glitter

embossing powder with  an embossing pen.

The cute bird is also part of this set.

I added som splatter to make the background

more interresting.

For this card i used the girl from the

She is Fierce stamp set.

The last set that is new this month is

Paisley Print.

This set has lots of stamps and perfect for

mandala's, backgrounds and lots of creativeness.

Here I used one of the papers behind the stamped part of

the card. I also used the Paisly Petals stencil in the background.

I only used a few of the elements from the set, colored them, 

cut them out and glued them to the card with foam tape.

For this card I went all out. This is an old technique called

Modern Grid by Technique Junkies.

You see I also used the Let's Party bunny and cat and 

the Be.You.Tiful stencil.

All 5 new sets are now available at

Funky Fossils Design.

Sarah Gray, the owner, was also on

Hochanda TV

and you can watch the rewinds and get even

more ideas of what to do with the new stamps.

Thank you for looking

for I have a tutorial and a stampset to

give away!!

Stay safe, healthy

and keep crafting!

Day 3 stamp reveal Funky Fossil Designs

Hello Crafty Friends,

On the 3rd day of the stamp reveal

from Funky Fossil Designs

I resent to you the set Guitar Hero.

Not only will there be new stamp sets at the

end of this week, there will also be 

a design paper block (6x6 inch) and matching 

rolls of washi tape.

On this card I tried to show you some of the several designs 

out of the paper block. The black/white stripe is a piece

of wide washi tape.

Here a quick look of the materials.

For this card I was inspired by one of the design team members

Samantha Read. I had to get my Hogs&Kisses set out.

I also used the free Happy Birthday stencil for the background

in combination with the new paper and washi tape.

Did you notice how cool this piggy is?

He even has  his ear pierced!

Thanks for looking,

stay safe and keep crafting!
