Good Morning,

Here we are on day one of the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog

Christmas in July week.And there are lots

of prizes to win, so check out the blog with

all the info on how to participate.

Follow the blog and see the challenges

For my first card I used the 

FREEBIE you find on the Blog yesterday

and is called Deacon Elf.

The fun thing about using digital stamps is that you can 

flip them, so here is Deacon elf right and left.

The background is Christmas Design paper and use 

of a zig zag stencil that combines with the paper.

The sentiment is from a Stampin´Up! set.

I made an easel card.

the size of the front pannel is 5,5 x 5,5 inch

and the easel is made from 11 x 5,5 inch.

On the bottom of the inside card I have this packages 

border (SU!) colored with sparkly spectrum noir markers.

I added this to the background with a piece of foam\tape, 

so the front can lean against it.

Thank you so much for looking

and I hope to see you again tomorrow.

Stay safe and keep crafting!

Anything but a Card: Gift Box

Happy Monday!

Anything but a Card is the challenge on the

Catch the Bug Callenge Blog.

Today I have a little gift box for you and

of course we start the week with

 a wonderful cup of coffee.

I was inspired by a tutorial I found 

The tutorial of the gift box was found HERE.

Only this box was for large tealight candles.

The ones I have here (in The Netherlands) did not fit.

So I had to addapt anyway.

Then i got the idea for the coffee box.

Now I used a base of 7 x 7,5 inch cardstock

and the scrore lines are the same.

Fotr the inage I used

Stella Morning - touch coffee.

Stella is colored with Stampin'Blends.

The ribbon is behind the  sentiment

(see the tutorial video how it is created).

Inside the box two instant coffee sticks.

Thank you for looking.

Stay safe

and keep crafting!

Simon Says: Christmas

Yesterday I was in the nick of time adding my 

entry for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge,

but today I am right at the beginning!

The challenge is Christmas

and after I finished my wrapping yesterday,

the label gave me an idea.

I wanted to make someting for my fellow workers, but not a card.

So I wrapped two candles together with a piece of design paper

and tied it together with a piece of red/white bakers twine.

Then I stamped the woodsies of the 

Tim Holtz Stampfest set 2017 and added the sentiment

from the mini handwritten holidays set in red ink.

Some greenery and 2 silver bells and my gift

was ready.

This woodsie stamp is also perfect to make an ornament for 

decoration in the tree. As I have no tree, I will add this to 

a card for a friend who does have one.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Simon Says: Wrap it up!

Lots of wrapping in December, so when I noticed the 

challenge on the Simon Says Stamp Blog,

I just had to enter it:

"Wrap it Up!"

This time I stamped my own wrapping paper and made a matching card.

I used the Stamptember 2017 Tim Holtz stamps. I love them

an the matching stencil that came with it.

This is the finished package, but below 

I have some stamping stages to share.

I have this lovely kraft paper with a gold shine,

perfect for the Holidays. I started stamping with two

tones of brown and the woodring stamp.

Next I used these stamps with brown, green and red

oxide distress inks.

The woodsie is also perfect for a label.

The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz mini handwitten

holidays stamps CMS211.

For the matching card I used the same stamps.

The background is stamped with the woodsie

and I added some stars fromn the stencil in the sky

with a little sparkle added.

On the bottom you also see part of the stencil.

The background paper is a pice of Stampin'Up!

design paper I found that matched nicely.

Thank you very much for looking

and have a creative day!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop day 8

Here is the last day of the

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

After seeing so many card, I have so much inspiration in my head,

it is a pity it is over, but I think for Amy it has been a long

week. We are all happy you did it again AMY.

Thank you so VERY MUCH!!

Thanks also to all the sponsors who spice up this

blog hop. I hope you also added your card to the hop

to be able to win one of the prizes.

Today I have this gift bag to share with you.

Papers and dies are all by Stampin'Up!.

I used a paper bag to decorate. The size of the paper is 

6.75 x 7.75 inch. The design paper belongs to 

the Sign of Santa set.

The Santa is cut out of the paper, he is on the other side

of the green paper. I gave him his special santa cup.

I made the sentiment up with the dies and  part of

it printed with the computer.

Inside the bag are two strips of Nespresso coffee.

Both are decorated with a coffee cup tag.

The tag is made with the SU! thinlit.

Inside you can write a message. The sentiment

is not SU!, but Newton's Nook.

This one is decorated with one of the

elves that I had left. One could not let 

him lie around.

Thank you so much for keeping up

with me for a week of caffinated goodness.

Have a latte great day!
