Teatime bigz die of tim Holts and dexorated with

some metal findings.

The teapot is a stamp by Michael Strong.

I stampt the pot on yellow paper and embossed it with gold

embossing powder/ I added also some metal Tim Holtz

Cupcake Inspirations #440

Happy Sunday!

Today my card is for a white color challenge.

As I have been having the flu for over a week

and not touched any coffee, I could resist making 

a coffee card.

My card is for this color challenge on the

Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

For my card I started out making the background

with 2 embossing folders. On top of the panel I used

the coffee bean folder. The words you see are stickers

out of a Tim Holtz sticker book.

At the bottom of the card I used the new Sizzix

coffee ring folder. The ribbon is from my favorite

DL.ART store from my friend Diana Larson.

The cup is cut out of white paper with thinlits

from Stampin'Up! and decorated with paper flowers

and a button in the heart of the flower.

I used a little fossilized amber oxide distress in

around the back panel and the cup, kind of

cake color.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Tea Together?

After i finished my card yesterday, I was in the mood for

making another card with the same colors.

They were on my desk anyway!

Here the colorchallange again from the

Color Throwdown Blog.

I used these colors of oxide distress ink.

For the background i also used a stencil like on my card yesterday, 

just not the hert stencil, but one with roses (forgot to make another picture).

For this card I used these fun tea cups by Verve Stamps.

I colored the cups  first with the distress oxide ink and

with the matching distress markers.

The sentiment is also by Verve Stamps.

The green ribbon is by DL.ART.

On top of the cups you see the enameled dots

in the matching colors of the cup at the heart of the flower.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

A whole latte love

With Valentine around the corner, here another

card full of love for a color challenge.

Here are the colors of this weeks challenge on the

Color Throwdown Blog.

I used these colors of Distress Oxide ink

with Tim Holtz heart stencil. I colored the

background at random.

The pink paper is the pase of the card and on top of the

hearts i cut this lovely cup out of two colors

and added them to the yellow background.

In the back you see a lovely light pink hand dyed

ribbon fron Diana Larsons collection.

I used green, pink, yellow and blue enameled dots

on the side of the card.

The sentiment is a stamp from Verve Stamps.

Thank you for looking

Dog for Chinese New Year

Did you know the Chinese New year is in Febuary?

To be percise it is Febuary 16 and it is the start of

the Year of the Dog.

For this you find a wonderful FREEBIE on the blog

of Michael Strong HERE.

Thank you very much, Mike!!!

So I downloaded the image and for this first quick

card, i colored the image in Photoshop and cut it 

out with scissors. The card is 5"x 5" and for the

background I use the Tim Holtz rays stencil with

red ink. Then I cut out the circle and added some red ink too.

Around the black strip of paper I added the red ribbon

from my Diana Larson stash.

The chinese dog character is a stamp.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Viva La Verve January Sketch

One of my favorite sketches are those by

Julee Tilman from Verve Stamps.

She has so many wonderful digital and 

real coffee stamps. Yes, I do have quite a few,

but recently I got this new digital "All my LOVE"

digital set and I used it for my card today.

You find the sketch on the 

Viva La Verve Blog

and many more beautiful samples.

So the background papers are from an old

design paper block by Echo Park. and they are

perfect for the Valentine theme of the card.

The heart is a thinlit by Stampin'Up! .

I added the sentiment inside the cup with Photoshop

befor I printed it. The cup is covered with glossy accent.

The button and the ribbon are by DL.ART.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Freshly Made Sketches #321

This week you will see a lot of ribbons on my card,

as I am a guest designer on the DL.ART Blog and

Diana has those fantastic ribbons, that are especially

wonderful on Valentine cards.

You find the ribbons in her shop HERE.

For my card today I was inspired by the sketch on 

the Freshly Made Sketches Blog.

What did I use for my card?

The images are from one of the new digital stamp sets by Verve Stamps.

I used the "All my LOVE" digital set that is now only $ 3,50

(and comes with 16 images).

After printing and coloring (zig markers) the images,

I added them to the design paper background

and added glossy accent to the coffee cups.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
