Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - day 7

Welcome to day #7 of the

Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop.

Today my card's focal point is this very happy

snowman from the Snowman Season stamp set by

Stampin'Up!.

The doily in the background and the sentiment

( Merry Café) are also Stampin'Up!.

The cup with the heart is from my stash and the cute

penguin paper is from a paper block by Action.

Don't forget my GIVEAWAY on

the first day of the hop. You find it HERE.

Thank you for looking

and have a latte creative day!

Passover inspiration

Not only Easter is around the corner, but  also

the Jewish Passover.

This holiday starts on the eve of April 19.

Want to know more about Passover, take a look HERE.

For my cards I used a subway freebie from my friend

Paulette of the Create with TLC Blog.

For this card I also used some prima flowers from my stash

and the frog is a stamp by Stampin'Up! from the set

"So hoppy together".

The subway art has been tucked behind the back panel,

so it can open up. It is hold closed by the flowers.

Behind the subway art I added the sentiment (an old SU! stamp).

The panel is made by printing out a matzah background.

I found the picture online and add it here for you to grab too:

Save it to your computer and you can use it any size you want.

For the 2nd card I used left over pieces of matzah paper

to make tiny pieces for on the card. I added some brown ink

and used my crimper to have a real matzah look.

The background of the card is made with the direct to

paper technique with a little blue ink and some distress

antiqued brass mica spray.

The golden doily behind the matzah is by Stampin'Up!.

The seder plate is a stamp from Zum Gali Gali 

rubber stamps. And the same sentiment as on the other

card from Stampin'Up!. I added a few swquins for more

bling on the card.

Hope you get inspired to make some Passover cards.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Last day of Hanukkah and sketch

Today is de last day of Hanukkah,

all the candles are burning bright.

It is a wonderful site.

I made my card with this sketch from the

and one of the twins helping to light them.

This menorah is home made.

The other half of the twin is studying the text :-)

Here the menorah with all the candles burning.

For my card I used all Stampin'Up! materials.

The stamp set Seasonal Lantern and thinlits from 

the set Number of Years. Some design paper and silver paper.

The silver is embossed. Ans fun flitter enamel dots and

a ribbon matching the color of the sentiment wish 

(tranquil tide).

Thank you so much for looking 

and have a creative day!

TMS 426

I had so much fun making my Christmas card yesterday for

the Club Scrap Blog Hop, 

I just had to do another one. So when I noticed this sketch

over at the Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog, I knew right

away what to make.

You find the details of this sketch and more samples HERE.

Papers and stamps are all Club Scrap.

The owls are embossed in silver and cut out.

They are fastned to the felt doily with foam tape.

The branches are from a Tim Holtz thinlit set

called "mini holiday greens".  Then tiny little

sticky gemstones from my stash were added as berries.

The red and anthracite backgrounds are embossed

with tiny dots embossingfolder.

Thank you for looking and

have a creative day.

Simon Says Stamp Stars

I just loved the theme for this weeks challenge

on Simon Says Stamp Wednesday,

 where they are seeing stars. As I did not want to make a

Christmas card, I looked at my favorite coffee

stamps and came up with this idea.

I started with printing the words on white paper

and cut it out to size for the square 5,25x5,25 inch kraft

colored card. Next I cut the distressed doily from sizzix

by Tim Holtz and colored it with vintage distress oxide ink.

Then I took out the coffee stamps from Concored & 9th

called Let's Chat to make this cup and spoon.

For the cream i embossed the circle with white seafoam 

embossing powder and for the star I made a template, so I could

color it with vintage distress oxide ink.

The spoon is stamped on silver paper and a tiny

star is added on top of the spoon.

Thank you for looking

ánd have a latte creative day!

Sunday Scrap Page: Mint Tea

Happy Sunday to you all.

My scrappage today is inspired by the 

sketch on the 

Freshley Made sketches blog.

I thought (even though I already made a card)

I would give this sketch a go for my

weekly scrapbook page as well.

I had lunch with my youngest daughter last week

and made a beautiful picture of her while drinking 

mint tea. So I had the idea of making a border with

Michael Strong's leaves stamps.

All papers are by Club Scrap.

I stamped the leaves with the new distress crayons.

For this I spritz alittle water on the stamp and then the crayon

and stamp a few times.

As i was not totally satisfied with the image I took some

light grey ink and stamped the same stamp on the green

background. This way you see a little more of the lines.

I arranged the lives as  border beind the picture adding 

a ew dots that I still have from one of the Club Scrap kits.

The sentiment is from My Favourite Things stamps.

The doily is from my stash.

You might wonder about the background paper.

This I made long before and was from my stash too

ready to use. It is stenciling, spraying and stamping.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!
