Merry Mice for Hanukkah

Today I have been playing with a recent Stampin'Up! set
called Merry Mice. It is a set for Christmas and I have some 
fun cards made with it over at my other blog: 
This time I used the mice to make a Hanukkah card.

I added some Jewish elements to the mice. The candleholder
(Chanukkiah) is from the set Special Occasions and the
dreidl is made with a paper punch.
The mice are colored with pencil.

In the background I used the confetti textured impression
embossing folder (140592) and added 
mint macaron stamping ink.

The inside of the card is stamped with the chanukkiah stamp
again and the sentiment is from Create with TLC.

Thanks for looking
and have a creative day!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop day 2

On Saturday I always make something with a Michael Strong
stamp. I am so happy Mike also has made coffee stamps!
You find them here.
Now I play on with the fox theme too.

So this is what I did:
Starting out with plain white cardstock
and printed the sentiments, leaving a gap for
the stamping.The top sentence I just typed up,
but the bottom sentiments are by
So then icut the sheet in two and have two cards in the making.
I watergolored the background with bundled sage distress ink.
Stamped the large coffee cup on green with versamark and
embossed it with copper embossing powder. The fox
is made with the Stampin'Up! foxy friend punch.
Now to make the flowers, I came up with a fun idea using
my used nespresso capsules. I cut the top of and trew away the coffee
and am left with the metal capsule. How great they come in 
wonderful colors!
So I took out a flower punch and punched some
flowers out of the metal, which is quite soft and easy to punch.

With this punch comes a kind of embossing punch. Here you lay the
punched out flower and press the sides together and it becomes a wonderful 3d flower.

I have them already for quite some time and no idea if you can still get
this floral & emboss punch set.

Here another view of the flowers.

For the other card, I used the smaller size cups.
You also see some stamping on the background. This is from the 
Stampin'Up! set Foxy friends.

In the background I used the sequins I won in the last blog hop.
I love them!

Hope you all have enjoyed my post for the 
Coffee Lovers Blog Hop today. You find more 
information about the hop here and how to play along.

Thank you for looking
and enjoy your cup of coffee/tea.

Art Neko screen devider card

Here I am with another creation for the 
Art Neko design team.
Today I created one of these cute 
screen devider cards. I have seen these around, but
never actually created one myself.
Have you?

Well, here are the measurements if you want to make
one too. You need a piece of cardstock of 11 x 5,5 inch
and a scrore tool. You score at 
2 3/4 - 5 1/5 - 8 1/4
and fold the card harmonica wise.

For the bottom of the sceen I used this decorative 
label punch by Stampin'up!. I notice some people
also use a decorative punch at the top,
but I like it to keep straight this time.

For the pannets you cut this:
4x 2 1/8 x 3 3/4 inch black
4x 2 3/8 x 4 inch ivory (matt and stamping)

I created these black pannels, like a screen.
Once you have made one, you can use this as a template
for the other 3 pannels.

Before you add the black pannels on top of
the ivory paper, I stamped it first.
I covered all for sides with post-it notes
so the outside stayed unstamped (you could also
use strips of washi tape).

I used the following stamps:

The Birds on a Blossom Branch stamp:
and the blossom flower

When the stamping is finished you add the 
black screen pannels.

The cats are stamped on ivory paper again
and colored with a water brush getting ink of my craft
 sheet. I used the same color as I stamped them with.


With 3d tape I added the cats to the screen.
I am not sure if I want a sentiment up front, 
so I leave that for when I send it.

Thank you for looking
and have a creative day!

Tim Holtz 12 tags May 2016:Crazy Cat

Here is my version of the tag for the
12 tags of 2016
for May.

If you want to see all the techniques
that were used please go to Tim's blog here.

For this month I wanted to use my crazy cat stamp
and it worked out perfectly for this tag. I even found
a little ribbon in my stash with cat paws.

The butterfly is cut out of metaland stamped
with it's matching stamp.

To make the tag more dimentional I used the rosette
die,for i do not have the tattered rose.
The labelis stamped with a sentiment from 
an old SU! set with the same name.

The flowers are punched out of  decorated kraft paper
and fastened with a brad. This was a fun tag to create.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!
