November Christmas coffee card challenge

Happy Sunday caffinated creative friends!

Here I am with my entry for the

Caffinated Christmas Card Challenge.

This time I used mainly Tim Holtz materials.

The cup is a die by Funky Fossil Design.

The design papers are Tim Holtz as wel as the star stencil

and the holly stencil on top and bottom.

The sentiment is a combination of a Tim Holtz and a Honey Bee stamp.

The robin is from the Snarky Cat Christmas set CMS416.

And this robin is from the Stamptember 2020 Snarky Cat set

as well as the cat, but his hat is from the other Snarky Cat set.

The poinsettia and the holly is from a set from my stash.

Thank you for looking and have a 

wonderful creative Sunday!

Happy Halloween!

 Hello Crafty Friends,

I am in my new home unpacking many...too many boxes. My craft room is smaller than in my other house, so now I have to rearrange and get some things out, but that is a hard choice as all you crafters know! But it has to be done.

So tonight Tim Holtz was live and while he was sharing his techniques and inspiration,

I took out my Snarky Cats for Halloween, that arrived when we were packing up,

so  this was the first opportunity that I could use them.

Here is the first one.

Background is an embossing folder.

The cat and pumpkin are colored with distress ink.

The cup with the paw is by Newton’s Nook.

The background is created with a circle die  ,

Some sponging and water droplets.

The spiderweb around it is with some silver glitter glue,

Much more fun in person.

Here I all used an embossing folder for the background.

Coloring with different distress inks.

Happy Halloween!

Thanks for looking,

stay safe

and keep crafting,

Tuesday Morning Sketch #562

Good Morning!

Eleven years ago the

  Tuesday Morning Sketch Blog 

was started on July 7, 2009. 

So with this sketch we celebrate 11 years of sketches.

I just got the new snarky cat stamp set by Tim Holtz and 

had to use it for this sketch. It has some hilarious sentiments.

For the background I used some design papers, but for 

the center piece I splashes some walnut stain distress

ink on white card stock, before stamping the cat.

On the cat I added also gold stella wink brush on his belly.

The sentiment is stamped and punched out with an oval punch.

For some bling 3 tiny sticky rhinestones are added.

Congratulations, Melissa on your accomplishment of

11 years of sketches. Hope many more will follow.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe

and keep crafting!
