Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge: August

CCCC32

Hello my caffeinated friends,

Here is my card for the August challenge on the
Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog

                                                    The theme is: Coffee and Cute Critters.

I treated myself to some new Penny Black stamps:

Brew-Tea-Ful set and

Overflowing

The cat and the sentiment are stamps i already have 

for a very long time.

The stamp of the cat is a cat in the box. 

So I stamped and embossed the cat and cut it out

after coloring. He is so comfy on the cup!

I embossed the sentiment in gold, really pretty on the card,

but hard to photograph.

I just love these new cups!

All the images are colored with the Tim Holtz distress crayons.

Thank you for looking and hope you

have a lovely and caffeinated day.

 

Simon Says: Feminine/Girly

Here is my journal page for the challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog.

The challenge is Feminine/Girly.

Here is how I made the page:

I started this page with 2 Tim Holtz stencils.

I used thick gesso and a credit card on the

scribbels stencil.

Next I sprayed some distress oxide ink on top of

the gesso in the color picked raspberry.

On top of the roses I added red distress crayon.

Now it is time for the hearts and red and pink

oxide distress ink.

I added walnut stain oxide distress ink and 

musical washi tape.

I printed some vintage papers and a sentiment from

  Create with TLC

and colored this image with aquarel paint.

A little stamping with the butterflies from the

Papillon set by Tim Holtz and the page is finished.

Hope you like the end result.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

The Daily Marker day 23: Cookies Challenge 111

Another baby card, this time for a boy.

Photo inspiration from the 

If you give a crafter a Cookie Blog

made me come up with this card for today.

For the background I used the same technique

as for the girl card with a sweet embossingfolder,

distress crayons.

Here I used brushed pewter distress mica spray.

When the background dries, I color the images

with fossilized amber, broken china and mowed lawn

distress oxide ink and a water brush.

The images are from the mini blueprints 8 CMS231.

After cutting out the images, I used a fossilized amber

colored paper behind the image to gave them a cookie look.

Around the card I tied a piece of blue crinckled ribbon.

The letters on the boy tag are from Tim Holtz 

industrious stickers and the stamped sentiment is from 

the set Made with Love by Stampin'Up! as well

as the little stars. A tiny sticky gemstone for a little

bling in the card.

Here the finished card.

Of course I made a matching envelop and decorated

the inside of the card with the left over strip.

Of course I enter my card also for 

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge

day 23.  

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

The daily Marker day 22 and Simon Says: things with wheels

Around me friends are pregnant, so I need to make some

baby cards, so in the coming days, you will see some

more of these cards.

For today I am inspired by the challene on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog:

things with weels.

For the challenge things with wheels

I knew I had the pram stamp from Tim Holtz

mini blueprints 8 CMS231.

So i started making the backgound with pink distress paper

embossed with baby feet prints and colored it also

with distress crayons.

Next I used the halftone stamp (CMS260) with black soot

distress oxide ink on top of the embossed paper.

Finally i sprayed some distress Mica spray -

antiqued bronze - on top.

While the background was drying I stamped

the pram with black versafine and colored it with

worn lipstick and  picked raspberry .

The wheels are colored with black soot.

I gave the pram image a sentiment from the 

Crazy Talk CMS236 stampset.

The paper flowers are from my stash and the Hello Girl

is stamped on one of the Aged Tickets (I used the 

backside). This sentiment is from Stampin'Up!

and is called Celebrate Baby.

Inside i used the strip that I cut of from the

front to make it the right size.

I decorated the envelop with the pram stamped in pink

and the use of the mini florish stencil (set 10).

of course my card is also for day 22 of

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Graciellie Design Fall card

Having fun with my new images from

Graciellie Design (the sentiment and coffee mug).

The pumpkins are rubber stamps by 

Michael Strong and the background

is a piece of scrap paper.

The pumpkins are stamped in black ink

and are rubber stamps by Michael Strong.

you find them HERE.

After stamping I did the direct ink technique

on my craft sheet with orange distress oxide ink.

With the distress crayons I gave them a little

more color inspired by all the pumpkins

I see around me (in the shops ;-)

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Tribute for Betty

This is  was my Mother-in-Law Betty.

She was world famous for her applen pie.

She died last Thursday and we will burry her on

Sunday next to her husband.

So in memory of her  and her delicious apple pie

I made this card.

By accident Create with TLC has an apple pie

digital freebie here and I used it to make the pie.

The sentiment is also by Create with TLC.

Food was very imortant for my MIL, there

always had to be plenty!

This lady is a stamp by Stampin'Up! from the

set "You've got style". I alwaus found this lady

looking just like my MIL. Always perfectly dressed

and red lips.

The image is colored with distress crayons.

The background stamp is part of an old

apple pie border stamp by PSX.

I colored with distress crayons and water.

Apple pie and sentiment by Create with TLC.

Rest in Peace, Betty.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!
