Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day 5

Welcome coffee loving crafty friends,

Another fun day at the

Coffee Lovers Blog.

Did you know there are a lot of sponsors

who give out wonderful freebies?

Today I made a card with the freebie by

Stamplorations.

I used the freebie calles:

Coffee Donut Row digital stamp.

You find it at nearly the bottom of

their blog post.

Here my card. I was inspired by something i noticed on 

Pinterest and looked perfect for this row of coffee cups.

It is a design paper circle in the background and 

dotted washi tape added to the the colored image 

The sentiment is one from my unknown stash and

now I had a perfect image to use it with.

Thank you for looking!

Stay safe, keep crafting and

enjoy your coffee.

 

FMS #446

Today I play with a skinny card (the new rage everywhere)

for the Freshly Made Sketches Blog.

My card is made with stencil and stamps from

Funky Fossil Design.

I used the tulip field stencil

and the Bees Knees clear stamp set.

I made the background with 2 colors

of oxide distress ink:

 picked raspberry and twisted citron.

With post-it notes I coverd the stencil

 so no ink would come in wrong places.

The fungus are stamped and colored with 

markers. The bees are stamped on 

a separate piece of paper, colored with markers,

cut out with scissors and added to the card

with foam tape.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting!

Bugaboo Color Challenge

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

For this card I used Stella Love - Person to Annoy.

The sentiment is hilarious and comes with the image.

The paper in the background are all Stampin'Up! and

so are the hearts, latge and small.

These are punched out with SU! paper punches.

The ribbon is from my stash.

The image is colored with Stampin'blends.

Hanukkah

Tonight we light the first candle for Hanukkah.

We will do so for 8 days: every day one candle more.

But there are 9......?

Number 9 is the helper candle. This one lights the other candles.

You want to know more about this Jewish Holiday?

Take a look HERE.

This first card is made with rubber stamps by

Zum Gali  Gali rubber stamps.

For the background I  stamped the dreidel in versamark

and clear embossingpowder. Next I colored the paper with

broken china distress oxide ink and stamped the Hebrew letters.

This is called a resist technique.

The image and sentiment are embossed with black embossing

powder and colored a little with a blue marker.

For the second card I used a combination of the 

Zum Gali Gali window/ dreidel stamp, Tim Holtz stencils

and the Stampin Up sentiment.No special technique here.

And this card is made with only Tim Holtz stencils

and a Stampin Up sentiment. 

Every year I hope that Tim will have something

I can use for Hanukkah, like a candle, or a 

6 pointed star or at least Happy Hanukkah.

Not that i have not asked him...but no result so far :-(

I made the candles out of the stencil THS102

by covering it with post-it notes.

The stars are first done with markers and stencil

Falling stars THS 115   and then with fossilized amber and

a blending tool to make the stars glitter.

The background is done with the 

latticework THS 019 and vintage

oxide ink.

Thank you so much for looking

and have a wonderful Hanukkah!

The Daily Marker Color Challenge

On the Daily Marker Blog

there is a 30 day color challenge.

i am going to try to color something

every day of Febuary.

You find all the details of this color challenge

on The Daily Marker Blog

and you can also upload your projects there.

As today is Groundhog's day, i looked

online for a coloring image and found

this cute image on a teacher's site.

Oh, you have no idea what is Groundhog's Day?

Well, I had to look it up too and found it HERE.

The image was a little different, but I left out some thing

and used this for my card to pint for coloring.

So here is the start of my coloring that

I shared on instagram.

For the background of this card I used the direct to

paper technique with ground expresso oxide distress ink.

Next I used the speckles stencil by Tim Holtz

and the same ink.  The sun behind the groundhog

is a die cut.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge: Pink & White

Great find, these Club ScrapValentine stamps from 2009

(Heart to Heart) in my stash and combining it with

a Love Cynthia stamp is a perfect combination.

I made this card for the pink & white color challenge

on the Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

I started out gathering various shades of pink

stamp inkpads to make the background.

The "be mine heart stamp"is stamped on a seperate

piee of paper as well as the little girl stamp.

The heart is stamped in pink and colored the

heart with a blending tool, leaving the words white

to stamd out.

The girl is colored with blending markers by SU!

and cut out. Added to the card with  foam tape.

This is the inside of the card.

Club Scrap sentiment and more hearts.

Of course a matching envelope

and some sticky pink pearls for extra bling.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
