Passover greetings

Today I have been playing with a new digital set by 

Create with TLC.

It is a set for Passover and if you need 

some quick cards.

I just love the subway art with all kind of

words that can be linked to Passover.

With some strips of matzo paper and some pealy accents

a card is quickly made on a large stamped background.

The wine cup on this card is by 

Ruthsjewishstamps.com and can be found HERE.

The cup is first embossed with silver embossing powder

and colored with acrylic distress paint

with the direct to paper technique.

In the middle of the cup I added a sticky gemstone.

Thanks for looking and 

I hope you

Have a creative day!

Tons of Valentine inspiration!

Are you getting ready for Valentine

and need some inspiration?

Well I have tons of inspiration for you

with Michael Strong's

cloisoné elephant stamps

and

Create with TLC sentiments

Tons of Valentine wishes

and 

Tons of Love

This is just the first card,I promise you

more is on the way.

The elephant is stamped with versamark and embossed

 with hematite embossing poeder. I coldored the

elephant with a blending tool and ice spruce distress ink.

The hearts are stamped on red paper and embossed with white 

embossing powder and cut out with scissors.

The sentiment is digital and printed by the computer.

The background is a piece op scrapbook paper

 from one of those 6 x 6 inch blocks with various papers.

Here is the inside of the cards.

Another wish printed sentiment and the elephants

and the hearts are stamps with black archival ink.

Have a creative day!

Coffee on Saturday

My card for today is inspired by Heidi's Thursday

technique card. It is a technique by the 

Technique Junkies called distressed colorblocking

(newsletter Feb 2011)

I used:

Michael Strong's large coffee stamp

3 colors of distress ink

(dried marigold, gathered twigs and frayed burlap)

a digital sentiment by Create with TLC

(it is still a freebie today!!)

Use the colors of inkpad directly to your

acrylic block to stamp the background.

Dry well before stamping the coffee cup

(I used my heat gun). 

The coffee cup is

stamped with versamark and embossed with

orient express powder on the dark brown card 

and with black embossing powder on the 

white card.

On this card i added a peace of ribbon that I

got as apresent, so not sure where it came from.

The back of my card is stamped with a

stamp that was especially made for me by Joanne

Have a creative day!

On Sunday January13

 Create with TLC

has another blog hop for you.

And you know that means lots of FREEBIES!

So do stop by if you can.

I love using pictures of old cars

and had to use the picture to

make this card.

It reminds me of a fun time I spend with my friend

in the US visiting a car museum in Reno.

One could dress up there and make pictures

with your own camera. Doesn't it look like fun?!

Have a creative day!

see you Sunday..........



Old card/ new card

Sometimes one finds a card between

all the cards i have in a box to send out,

but never had been send and cannot be send

out anymore!....

 

So what to do?

Throw it away? No..... let's

change it so I can use it!

 

 

And here is the changed card: paper and glass stamps

are Club Scrap and image and sentiment are by

Create with TLC.

Have a creative day!



Support

One can't make enough of these

pink ribbon cards.

Important to test oneself and

important to thank all those

who support the cause.

Be always aware it can

happen to anyone.

Here is a card I made with

background paper and

image from

Create with TLC

The paper and the image are so great together.

The background paper is printed with the computer

and the border is colored with Victorian Velvet

disdress ink. Of course there is a pink ribbon around the card.

The image is colored with pencils for the woman and

around the image I used different colors of

distress ink that blend in  with the background paper.

The flowers are from Tim Holtz ideaology line. They

are white, but here colores with spun sugar distress stain

and fastened with a pearl brad.

Also I want to make you aware 

of the wonderful Clubs Paulette

is doing for special ocsasions

and if you like using digital images

it is a great change to stock up and try it out.

 

I want to tell you how much

fun these Clubs are and you get so much digital stamps

for only $ 8.50 you can not believe it!

Your mail box will overflow with

wonderful images and sentiments.

You can check it all out

Thank you and

 have a creative day!

Tuinhekje/ Garden Fence

Dit kaartje heb ik gemaakt met een gratis

digitale stempel van Design2delight.com

Hij is ingekleurd met copic markers.

De tekst is van Create with TLC.

This card is made with a free digital stamp

from Design2delight.com.

It is colored with copic markers and

the sentiment is from Create with TLC.

 De maat van de kaart is 13x13 cm.

Ik heb een lange strook genomen van 13x 26 cm

en daarna dubbelgevouwen en vervolgens

de voorkant nog een keer terug gevouwen

en daar staat de tekst op.

Ik denk dat de foto het wel duidelijk laat zien.

The size of the card is 5x5 inch.

I took a strip of 5x10 inch and folded this

double and than I took the front and folded it double

outward. Here I glued the sentiment.

I think the picture shows what I mean.

Have a creative day!

Dude Time Doodles new release BLOG HOP

I guess you arrived here from Ruth's blog 

and are dying to know what new stamp I have on my blog

for the

Dude Time Doodles Challenge Blog

Well, this is rather fishy!

It is Ollie Octopus and he is so much

fun to use for all kinds of occasions.

Like for a love card. He has so many arms,

woudn't it be great to be hugged by 8 arms?

So much love around you.

For this card I also used a Martha Steward

border punch, some heart nestabillities and a

text by Create with TLC.

The little hearts have been run trough the cuttlebug.

 But I have some more ideas for you.

I came across another blog with

a wonderful idea for the octopus.

Take a look her at Mel's blog:

http://melstampz.blogspot.com/2008/05/water-window-card-tutorial-using-hair.html

So what you see in the window is hairgel with stickles

to give the impression of water.

The background paper is made with watercolor paint

(the cheap kind your children use).

When the paint is dry, stamp bubbles with versamark

and use clear embossing posder of white embossing powder.

Bubble stamps are by smARTworks.

When finished heating the embossing powder

color again with watercolor paint.

When everything is dry, paper is run through

the cuttlebug.

When you open the card you see Ollie is

colored with copic markers.

On the top of the card as well as on the inside

you see some sentiments by Create with TLC.

Here you see a close up of the window with the hairgel.

Are you in for some more inspiration with some new digital stamps?

Than hop over to:

 De bloem is van Michael Strong en gekleurd door het

gebruik van verschillende keuren embossing poeder.

En de tekst is een digitale stempel van Create with TLC.

On the background you see some black paper that is

Hier zie je de binnenkant van de kaart, ook bewerkt

met de bloemenstempel van Michael Strong.

Here you see the inside of the card, where

I also stamped with the Michael Strong mini flower.

Hier de bloem nog eens van dichtbij. Je ziet hier goed

de verschillende kleuren embossing poeder die ik heb gebruikt.

Ook zie je hier het bloemetje dat ik in het midden heb gebruikt.

Het was eerst wit, maar ik heb er creme de rouge

Glimmer mist opgespoten.

Here the flower in a close up, so you can see all the

colors of the embossing powder I have used.

Also you see the flower I added in the middle.

 It was white at first, but I sprayed

it with creme de rouge Glimmer mist.

Have a creative day!
