Brew-ti-ful Christmas

Today I made two Christmas cards with the Club Scrap

Coffeehouse kit. This first one is made with the 

Hybrid Coffeehouse kit (only $ 4,95) and photoshop.

Then i wanted to try if I could make the same kind

of card with real rubber stamps.

And here is the result. You find the Coffeehouse rubber stamps HERE.

I wanted to share with you how I made the coffee cup in

two colors, so the Christmas tree comes out (much easier in 

photoshop!).

For this i used my Tim Holtz Stamparatus.

I started by stamping the image on a piece of 

post-it.

Next I cut out the inside of the cup

and added the inside to the paper.

Then I stamped the cup and after the inside post-it note

was removed, this is what is left.

Now to add the outside of the cup over the stamped

image and stamp the inside with green ink.

Here the rsult of the stamping.

I finished the tree with tiny sticky pearls and gemstones.

On top a little wooden star.

I created the sentiment with part of a Coffeehouse stamp

and part of a Tim Holtz stam. They fit nicely together.

Hope my cards give you a latte inspiration.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap June Sketch

Today i made some digital cards in photoshop.

For this I used the

Full of Scrap Hybrit kit by Club Scrap.

It is their special 20th Anniversary kit.

There is also a paper version if you are interrested.

You find it HERE.

This is the sketch challenge that I used.

You can find the Club Scrap Chat group on Facebook.

I made the image in photoshop by starting with the black

starry background and filling it with the other images.

Only the ribbon is an image from my stash of other

digital images.

After greating it digital, I printed the card on cardstock

an folded the paper to make a real card.

As i ad some room left on my A4 size cardstock for one

more image, but not a complete card. This I cut of and 

mounted on a blue piece of Club Scrap cardstock.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Brentwood dressing up!

I absolutely adore this image of Brentwood by JessicaLynn.

She made many freebies for the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

and now she dressed him up for the 4th of July.

This image is a digital stamp, you download it to  your computer

and can use it any size you want. Print it and color and use on your card.

You can find Brentwood Owl 4th of July in 

JessicaLynn's digital stamp shop here.

I colored the image of Brentwood with Stampin'blends and 

cut out the image. The background is made with  candied apple

and mermaid lagoon distress oxide inks in the direct to paper

technique. On top i stamped some stars in the same color.

The sentiment is by Tim Holtz. After wrapping the baker's 

twine around the panel, i added Brentwood with a piece of foam

tape on top of the baker's twine.

For the 2nd card I started making the background with the

stars embossing folder. I added the ink to the embossing

folder and a little water before running the folder and the paper

through the big shot. The ribbons aew hand dyed ribbons

by DL.ART and the sentiment is by Create with TLC.

(if you enter 4th of July in the search box there are more

sentiments!)

The image and sentiment are colored with pencils.

Ok, I just had to make one with coffee!!

I made the background with several Tim Holtz stencils

and the same distress oxide inks as above.

I stamped some beans from my stash as well

as the cup. Everithing is colored with SU! stampin'blends.

The sentiment is made up with part of a STAMPlorations

stamp and a Tim Holtz stamp.

The stars are sequins and hard to photograph the bling.

This image was made in Photoshop with a background 

and sentiments by Create with TLC.

Brendwood Owl is also colored in Photoshop.

Hope I have given you some ideas for this wonderful stamp.

Yom Kippur

Tonight is the start of the Jewish High Holiday of

Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement. 

You can read about it  here.

This holiday starts with a meal tonight and after

that you fast for 24 hours until breaking the fast

tomorrow evening.

So i wish all my family and friends well over the fast

and may you all be inscribed in the book of life.

Before breaking the fast you hear a last tone

of the shofar (ramshorn): Tekiah Gedolah!

I made the sentiment in photoshop and printed 

this in word, before making the card.

Then I colored the card with stencils

and distress oxide inks leaving

the place of the sentiment white.

On another piece of paper I stamped the 

shofar stamp (Zum Gali Gali) in 

chocolate brown and cut it with a circle die.

After adding a few gemstines I added the 

stamped image with foam tape to the card.

For the other card I used the same technique,

just another image.

Here you see the Tim Holtz stencils used.

The image is colored with zig markers 

and a watercolor brush and is an oldie from

Ruth Jewish Stamps.

Thank you for looking

and keep calm and forgive.

Goodmorning!

I made this card in photoshop.

You find the 2 bears here

and the sentiment is from my

CTLC sentiment collection.

And I also found this sentiment

and this is so true.
