Simon Says: Tag it!

Here I am with another card for Simon Says Stamp.

This time it is for the 

Wednesday Challenge

Tag it

and I also combined it with the 

Celebrate Spring 

    challenge on Instagram.   

For my card I used a #8 tag and colored it with

different green distress inks.

Next i die cut the honeycomb and used the same

distress colors a little on the honeycomb diecut.

Then I used stamps by Michael Strong

(the tulip and the bee) and colored the tulip with 

pencil on the kraft paper.

The sentiment is from Small Tag stickers from

Tim Holtz idea-ology.

Here is the finished tag.

The inspiration for this tag came when 

I saw the first tulip in my garden. 

Now I know for sure Spring is around the corner

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #559

This week it is my turn again to share a card I made

for the Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog.

I started out with the design paper (SU!) and the ribbon

and only a sentiment had to be added, 

but I found that too boring.

Than I came across the bird cage between my scraps

and just had to add it to the card as a more interesting 

focal pont for the card. The bird cage is a die by Tim Holtz.

The birds are punched out (an oldie by SU!)  and

decorated with a few silver gemstones.

The sentiment is a rubber stamp by Tim Holtz

from the Glorious Bouquet Set CMS 325.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting!

Tuesday morning Sketch #555

Today I have some coffee news!!

Yes, there will be another coffee blog hop

organized by the wonderful Amy Tsuruta on the

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.

So as today is Tuesday and I design for the 

Tuesday Morning Sketches,

I wanted you to get in the mood for coffee.

I always am, you know that by now ;-)

Here is sketch #555 and you find all the other

samples of the design team on the

Tuesday Morning Sketch Blog.

For my card, I turned the sketch upside down

for I wanted to use this cute coffee cups die.

I layered 3 colors of cups on top oc each other,

behind the cute cat from Newton's Nook Design

stamp set called Newton Loves Coffee.

Hope you are inspired to play in the coffee blog hop

for there are many wonderful prizes to win.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe

and keep crafting!

Catch the Bug Challenge: Funky Fold

There is a new challenge over at the 

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog:

Funky Folds. And here is my card:

For my card I used the Bugaboo Cat image

and a sentiment from my stash.

I found this great video about a Funky Triangle

Pop Up Folding card:

I folowed the instructions from this tutorial. Only I did not add

so many layers of paper, just one layer of design paper. Otherwise

the card is way to heavy for sending.

For the card you need a piece of 8 x 8  inch cardstock

and some designers papers that match your main focus point.

The bottom of the card also holds a square to

write your message on. Later I added a tiny

velcro circle to both bottom parts of the card.

This way they card keep standing up better (I think).

I decorated the card with some hearts )dies by Sizzix'

and used this wonderful paw paper punch and a "meow"

sentiment by Stampin'Up! (old set called Meow Meow).

I colored the sweet Bugaboo Cat with 

Stampin'Blends.

The hearts are in contrasting colors using the

black cardstock and the pink paw print paper.

This is how you fold the card for senfing.

Fold the bottom parts upwards and

then vertically outwards. Now you can enter

the card in a square 5 x 5 inch envelope.

Totally folded and ready for sending in an envelope

to a friend who needs a bit of cheering up!

If you go to the Catch the Blog Challenge Blog,

you can see mor ideas and add your own card

in the linky party and you might win some great

Bugaboo Digital Stamps to play with for other

challenges. If you have no Bugaboo Stamps, you 

can grab the Friday Freebie to play with.

I liked this way of making a card a lot

 and there is another one tomorrow!

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Bugaboo Digital Stamps Anything but a Card

On Monday it is always Aniting But a Card

and with Valentine around the corner, I needed 

a candy box.

You can see all the wonderful work of the 

designteam of the bugaboo Digital Stamps om

Cath The Bug Challenge Blog.

To make this box I used a die called gable box by

Elizabeth Craft Design.

You cut the box in one go, and fold it on the lines.

Glue the side strip and the bottom and the box is ready.

I decorated the box when ready, because all the images 

are stuck to the box with foam tape.

This cute Valentine Critter Kitty came as a freebie

for newsletter subscribers, but you can also get it  HERE.

My kitty is colored with Stampin´Blends by SU!

The little hearts are cut with matching sizzix dies.

Straight and scallop dies. In the middle of the heart I used

a paw paper punch and becacuse the background is 

contrasting paper, you see the paw wonderful.

I used the paw punch also on the sentiment tag.

The sentiment is by Tim Holtz.

On the bag ofthe box is another heart with a stamped 

"meow" (old SU!' stamp).

This box is ready to give!

Thank you for looking and

have a creative day!

Simon Says: Stars

This card is for the Star Challenge on the

Simon Says Monday Blog.

You find all the details HERE.

For my card I used the large and small

rubber star stamp by Michael Strong.

I started stamping the background with

walnut stain distress oxide ink. I also sprayed some

white ink on it, but that is not very visable on the photo.

The large star is embossed in gold on kraft paper

and cut out with scissors. Next a circle die cut

and the star glued on top.

 The sentiment is a Tim Holtz sticker.

Thank you very much for looking

and have a creative day!
