Simon Says: Use Stencils

Here is my card for the stencil challenge on

See all details on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog.

I used these stencils and ink to create the background

for my card.

Also after the stencils, I did some embossing on

the paper to give it more depth,

Here a close up of the panel.

Now for the focal point, I used these dies.

I found the idea on pinterest and just could not resist

giving this a go. I cut already many cups and are

searching for cross stich patterns to use on the cup.

You will defenitely see more of it!

Thank you for looking

and have a latte creative day!

More embellisments!

Two more cards for the Club Scrap technique challenge

to make your own embellishments. 

Look here how many buttons I have:

so why not use them more?!

Pinterest is a wonderful source for inspiration.

Here are two cards I came up with:

 

The first idea was easy: using the red buttons as a body

for the crabs. Just adding them and fastening these with a piece

of brown scrap floss.

The stamped image is from the Club Scrap kit Lakes (Nov 2014)

and the sentiment from Cantina (July 2015).

Here you see a close up of the crab ( a die from Echo Park)

with googly eyes and  a button as a shield.

The sea is 3 layers of torn paper fastened on top of each other.

Card number 2 is totally different. Here I made

a flower with the buttons as a heart.

I started using some of the ribbons from my Club scrap stash.

 cut 4 the same pieces of the same turquoise ribbon (5 inch).

On top of each piece I added a piece of double sided tape.

Make a circle of each piece.

Then the circles were flattened and stacked on top

of each other, ready to be made into a flower.

I cut a piece of paper with a die and

found these two buttons that I am going to 

use as a heart of the flowerby stacking them

on top of each other.

Meanwhile I had stamped the background of the card

 with stamps from the 2013 Neon Doodles stamps.

Here you see the finished flower fastned to the card

with scrappers floss. Used a needle to go through all of the layers

to fasten the flower to the card.

You fid more ideas on the Club Scrap Blog

and you can add your own ideas with the linky party.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

Vanavond heb ik gewoon wat zitten spelen met mijn stempels van Stampin'Up! Ik hou ervan om verschillende sets door elkaar te gebruiken.
