Shabbat Shalom

Today is Friday and tonight the Shabbat starts,

so with this card I want to wish all my

Jewish (stamping) friends a 

Shabbat Shalom ( a pieceful Shabbat).

I made this card with the sketch you see below

It is this weeks sketch on the 

CAS(E) this SKETCH Blog.

The candle stamp on this card is by Santa Rosa

and colored with pencil. The sentiment is by 

Ruth Jewish stamps. All papers and embossing

folder are by Stampin'Up!.

The flowers and leaves are from a SU! card set

and you just pres them out and add them with a piece 

of foam tape. On top a sticky enamel dot.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Passover decorations 2

While finising my matza people for the

name tags on the water bottles (see yesterdays

post here),I also made a card with some

of the leftovers.

The same chevron paper I used around the

jar and the bottle is here the background of the 

card. Then the stamped and embossed matzot

with a digital sentiment by Create with TLC,

that came with the monthly digital club.

Now finish the cooking and aranging the table.

Are you ready?

Thanksfor looking.

Have a creative day!

Passover decorations

Now Passover is getting so close,

I need something to decorate the table.

So I started with this potrose

and a very big glass jar.

The rose goes into the pot and now

on to decorting the jar.

I printed  some pieces of 

blue chevron lines landscape on 

lettersize paper.

If you like this too, here is the background I used.

Feel free to save this to your computer.

Then I printed a few sentiments ,that came with

the digi club of Create with TLC.

As I did not like it to be too clean and white,

I used a stencilfrom Club Scrap to make

this flower in the middle as a background.

First a green ribbon around the jar,before adding the 

sentiments. Why green:well,Passover is also a 

Spring Holiday.

For moredecorations,I stamped and embossed the 

matzah stamp from Ruth's Jewish stamps.

Then I cut them all out.

I created aboy and a girl out of the matzot,because 

I want to use them as name cards for the table. With the

grandchildren around the table I wanted to have something

that would catch their eyes.

So on the center piece it looks like this.

And the name cardsare not really cards.

I had the idea of adding the a water bottle to 

each plate and use these as the name card.

On one side you see the Pesach wish

(digi stamp from Create with TLC)

and on the other side the name of the person

who is sitting at that place at the table.

Depending on the gender on the person, it will 

be a male or female version.

Hope this gives you some inspiration for your 

table. If your (grand)children are a bit older

then mine, you could make these fun decoration 

together with them.

When all is on the table,I will add another picture.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

Passover with Create with TLC and Mojo Monday 444

On Friday, April 22nd,  the Jewish Holiday of Passover starts.

It is the commemoration of the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt.

If you want to know more about this Holiday go HERE.

So of course I need some cards.

When I saw this weeks Mojo Monday sketch 

this idea popped into my head right away.

On the Mojo Monday Blog you can see more 

samples of what people have made with this sketch.

On the circle you see the Hebrew word for Passover - Pesach.

It is on a Seder plate,which is a central symbol on the

celebration table. This is a stamp from Ruth's Jewish Stamps.

In the background you see I stamped matzot -

unleaved bread that we eat during the week of Passover.

This also a stamp from Ruth'sJ ewish stamps. I used

ground expresso and vintage photo distress ink.

The sentiment you see here is a digital sentiment by

Create with TLC and is printed on the green paper.

Here another card with a sentiment by Create with TLC.

This time I used a music stencil for the background,

for we do a lot of singing around the table.

I used broken china distress ink and a blending tool

to get the color on the card.

The same matza stampfrom above is here 

stamped with versamark and embossed with

copper colored embossing powder. After cutting

them out I arranged them as a border on

the card. Now I have to think of some decoration

 for the table. Want to see what I did last year? 

Go HERE. Comes with instructions too.

Meanwhile I put my thinking hat on.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

Passover greetings

Today I have been playing with a new digital set by 

Create with TLC.

It is a set for Passover and if you need 

some quick cards.

I just love the subway art with all kind of

words that can be linked to Passover.

With some strips of matzo paper and some pealy accents

a card is quickly made on a large stamped background.

The wine cup on this card is by 

Ruthsjewishstamps.com and can be found HERE.

The cup is first embossed with silver embossing powder

and colored with acrylic distress paint

with the direct to paper technique.

In the middle of the cup I added a sticky gemstone.

Thanks for looking and 

I hope you

Have a creative day!
