Happy Father´s Day!

Hello Crafty Friends,

Last Friday I had my club of card makers

at the care home. 

We made some Father´s Day cards.

For the cards I used some dies and stamps from

Stampin´Up! and from my stash.

Also some beer glasses I printed, for these

ladies are not very good in coloring.

On this card you also see a Dutch sentiment

saying `enjoy this`.

The SU! set i used is called Mixed Drinks.

The bubble die is from my stash.

On these card I used some printed beer mugs and sentiment.

I make pre-cut and assample all the right materials

for the card in a bag, The ladies only have to assemble the

cards. Cutting and glueing is something they can do.

They love this way of card making I introduced to them.

And this is the card I made for my husband.

I treat him to a nice dinner in a restaurant this evening.

I wish all dads and granddads a very

Thanks for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting!

 

Happy Mother´s Day!

These are strange times and visiting my Mother

in the care home for Mother´s Day is still a no go.

So my brother and i went on Friday to bring my Mom

a card and flowers. We had to stay behind the glass

 and she was inside (hard for her to understand).

So here my card, for I do hope we soon can have a cup of

tea together and not behind glass!

I also made this card with some of the left overs from

papers I made with my gelli plate for the challenge on the

Club Scrap Chat on Facebook.

Here my cut out for the card.

I started making the background with the teabag stamp

from Club Scrap special kit Infusion (2014) and 

white embossing powder for a resist technique.

Coloring the paper with walnut stain distress oxide ink.

Here the finished background pannel.

The white teabags came out beautiful.

So this is my sentiment of the day

in good hope that we soon can do this again.

Happy Mother's Day to all

mother's, grandmothers and great grandmothers!

Thanks for looking,

stay safe

and keep crafting!

Tuesday Morning Sketch #553

Good Morning Stamping Friends,

I have been asked as a Design Member of the

Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog.

So today I share with you the first sketch.

For my card I used some design paper,

the new release image by Bugaboo from last week

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog

and a sentiment by Create with TLC.

The circles in the backgroud are die cutted with

some circle dies from my stash.

I also used the cute Boo Teddy Bear image

for the inside of the card. It is colored with

stampin'blends by Stampin'Up!

Thank for looking,

 stay safe

and keep crafting!

For the HEROES part 2

Here are 3 more cards with the FREEBIE by

Jillian Vance on her blog HERE.

On all cards you see a Dutch sentiment for 

Thank You (Bedankt).

This first card is a large card, so everyone can write inside.

It is a folded A4 size piece of white cardstock.

This time I started with making the background with stencils

and distress oxide ink. I used the heart and the dots stencil.

Next I used some red and blue scrap paper, embossed it with an

embossing folder and added this with double sided tape to the 

background. Coloring the shirt with mermaid lagoon distress

oxide ink and a red stampin'blend marker.

For this card. I had the idea of making a medal.

So I cut out the cirkel and this cirkel already had the dots

around the border, which makes it so easy for crochet,

The letters are cut out with tiny letter dies.

I came across this piece of design paper on my

table and made a totally different card, without to many hearts.

The ribbon comes with tape on the background and here I used 

some black letters. Shirts are both colored with mermaid

lagoon distress oxide ink.

Thank you for looking

and stay safe

and keep crafting!

Easter Card

Happy Saturday!

My card today is for the 

Weekly Challenge on the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog

where the theme is:

Anything goes

and for

The Cupcake Inspiration Blog,

where the challenge is  these colors:

mint, Pale Blue and Pink.

First  made the background with a technique

called Bingo Blast. I thought it was a fun background

for coloring Easter eggs. I used these distress stains

directly to the paper and this way you get these fun

splashes. It helps when you use a watercolor paper.

Then I colored the image with my Stampin'Blends.

The Image is from Bugaboo Digital Stamps and is 

called: WOE Easter Egg (now for only $ 1.00).

Here you see the finished image, cut out with an 

oval die and its matching scallop die by Sizzix.

The sentiment is from the

 Crazy Talk sentiments by Tim Holtz.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

10th Annual Birthday Bash at the

Today is a photo challange.

There is also a freebie on the blog.

Here is my card with the circle sentiment "Birthday Ewe".

The image is colored with stampin'blends and cut out

with  a circle die. The matching scallop cirle die I used for

a glitter blue background (hard to see on picture).

Background is design papers and balloons are cut out

with a paper punch.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Bugaboo Christmas in July 4

Here is my card for day 4 of the

Bugaboo Christmas in July Challenge.

Today it is a bingo challenge

and now that my card is finished I notice

I made a cross on the bingo:

Ribbon and bow - Bugaboo image - die cut

Patterned paper - Bugaboo image - pearls

The bugaboo image I used is:

Ava Candy Cane

(remember all stamps this week are half prize)

Also this is the movie theme and you won't believe it,

but I seen a lot of  xmas movies, but this one I misssed,

so I watched the trailer and now it is on my xmas list!

I colored the image with stampin'blends and

cut the image with a circle die. 

The background in green with a matching scallop die.

Made it look like a bauble in a tree and added

tree little sticky pearls.

I found this matching sentiment on the internet by

googling for Elf movie quotes.

The design paper is from my stash and I used 

the cut off part to decorate the inside of the card.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
