Christmas ornaments

Hope all of you have a wonderful time

with your family and friends.

 

I share with you this Christmas ornament.

You can hang it in your tree and it is decorated on

both sides. The baker's twine is in between the 

two Nonagon images (rubber stamps by

Michael; Strong).

Inside the heart of the stamp I used the Tim Holtz

Tiny Snowglove thinlits and the Tim Holtz

Christmas sentiment stickers.

I add my ornament to the

Cut It Up Blog

where they have this Holiday Tic-Tac-Toe.

I started out stamping the Nonagon rubberstamp

and embossed it with silver embossing powder.

Then cut them out by hand with scissors.

As you see the close up of the finished ornaments,

I added tine sticky gemstones for the bling, 

when the ornament is dangling free.

I love the tiny snowglobe, my new favorite.

Behind the globe I added a pice of silver scalloped

circle die cut.

Thank you all for looking

and have a creative Christmas.

It is here: Coffee Hop!

Here we are with another seasonal Coffee Blog Hop.

You find all the details on how to play and make a chance 

on winning some fantastic prizes here:

CoffeeLoving Cardmakers Blog.

During the following week I will share with you

my winter coffee cards and projects.

Here is card #1.

For this card I was inspired by the

Cupcake inspiration Challenge.

The snowblobe image is a very vintage 

Stampin'Up! stampset called Snow Globe.

I cut out the glove for the front of the card

and added a piece of acrylic window behind it.

And here is the inside of the card.

You see a Christmas Starbuck cup, more decoration

and a handwritten sentiment.

I found these FREE printable Christmas

cups on a blog here called

Lovely Planner.

The cups also gave me the idea to make this 

Christmas tree decoration.

Here you see how I altered a woodsie tree decoration.

Left you see the original, then I added the cup and the snowflake,

On the last one on the right you see I also added a sentiment.

Can you see a tree full of these ornaments and Starbuck  cups?

I am looking forward to a fun coffee week

and also seeing everyone's cards and projects.

Thank you for looking 

and have a latte creative day!

Gnome Globe

Another card idea with  the Club Scrap 

Gnome stamps and Random Doorway papers.

This time i had an idea of making  snow globe and

I want to share with you how I did it.

As you can see there is embossed paper and a place 

left to stamp. How to do this?

Start with apiece of heavy cardboard

and a shape you want to use. As I want to make'

a snow globe,I choose a circle.

Cut the circle with your die cut machine.If you do not

get through,use your scissors to cut out the shape.

If you use cardstock that is too thin you won't get the shape.

Safe the cut out form, for it there is another technique you

can do with using both sapes.

Now you make the sandwich as follows:

Put the paper inside the embossing folder you want to use

and the cardboard on top of it. You have to see what

plates to use depending on the machine you have.

When run through the machine the paper looks like this:

embossed outside and the circle for the globe in the middle.

Use the circle again to cut out another circle

out of  an acrylic sheet (like from the wrapping of your

die).Here too if it doesn't come right out, use scissor.

With white acrylic paint I paint the porders of the acrylic

circle and the embossed panelforthe card.

On top of the acrylic sheet I added some drops of

glossy accent and also around the circle. 

On top some glitter to give it a real snow effect. 

The white border  of the circle also  hides the foam

 tape you have to put underneath to fasten 

the globe to the card.

The parceland the gnome stamp have been stamped

on shrink platic to fit inside the globe. You see the

difference of size after shrinking with the parcel.

I stamped with black archival and colored with

Tim Holtz distress markers.

Here you see a close up of the finished globe,

behind the gnome you see an embossed tree

of Michael Stong.

Here another version of the card:

Here in the globe you see a die cut tree and

 the parcel inside.

The snow flke is a Tim Holtz die.

And this is the inside of the card.

As you can see the stamps can be used in many 

ways and as I need more cards to send, I am sur

I  will come up with more fun ways to use the stamps.

Have a creative day!
