Christmas decorations with Funky Fossil Designs

Hello Crafty Friends!

I have been creating a few Christmas decorations for 

a friend and my grandchildren.

I found these wonderful wooden stars in the

Action shop here in The Netherlands. I got the

idea right away to decorate them with some stamped images.

The first one is for my friend Donna, who is the designer

of the Hogs and Kisses stampset that you find on the site of

Funky Fossil Designs.

The second one is for my eldest grandson Owen.

For this snowflake I used the  stampset

Space Cadet. The numbers are cut out of

gold oaoer with number dies from my stash,

And the last one is for the twins Colin and Aiden.

Two little piggies on one star. Besides the Hoggs And Kisses

stamps set, I used a Tim Holtz Santa hat and stars and

holly from the Christmas Characters set.

On the snowflake I added lots of tiny sticky gemstones.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas

and stay safe, thanks for looking

and keep crafting!

Stamps are all by Stampin'Up!.

and the snowflakes are decoratd with tiny gemstones

in the heart of the flake.

The sentiment is from an older SU! set called

Merry Café.

but the snowman is from the latest SU!

annual Autumn/ Winter catalogue and this set is

called Snowman Season.

The cup is made with a die fromSU! and some

Freshly Made Sketches #367

I made this card for the Freshly Made Sketches Blog

with Tim Holtz Christmas papers

and a Michael Strong Christmas tree.

As this is such a fun sketch, I made two cards.

When I went back to add my card, I noticed

there was a DT Call, so I would love to be on

the DT of the Freshly Made Sketches. They always

have lovely sketches, that I like to use multiple times.

About my 2nd card:

The background is made with kraft paper, that

I painted with some acryl paint. The I added the snowflakes

with a tim Holtz stencil and broken china oxide

distress ink. The sentiment is a very vintage SU!

stamp and the snowflake a die cut.

Thank you very much for looking

and have a creative day!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop day 1

Welcome to another fun week for

coffee/tea and chocolate lovers!

The blog hop is here again and that means sharing

your own cards, projects etc with this theme

and share it on the

  Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog

and you might win one of the wonderful prizes.

You can share every day or as many times as you wish

in the week of November 30 until December 7.

For my first project I have used some digital 

images from Create with TLC.

For my gift pocket I used the free images

that you can find HERE. The pocket is exactly 

the right size for a gift card.

The background paper is also one that I have from 

Create with TLC's winter collection.

The piece I had to cut from the front pannel

is used inside the card.

The snowflake is a bigz die by Tim Holtz.

I cut the flake from light blue paper, added

some vintage brown ink on the edges and

added a little glitter glue on the snowflake.

Thank you for looking

and hope to see you back tomorrow.

Have a latte great day!

Penguin for the Holidays

Are you already planning your cards for the Holidays?

I have started to make some, so I am not in a rush at the

end of the month. I fou d this wonderful snowflake die

and was thinking how this could be a background for

many (even different kinds) of holiday cards. So here is

the first of more to follow soon!

So I started to cut out the snowflakes and backed it up with

a piece of light blue cardstock. In the middle of each 

snowflake I hadded a holographic silver sticker.

The penguin is from the Penguin Pals by Michael Strong.

Stamped with versamark on black paper and embossed with

white embossing powder, then cut out by hand.

The hat is from an old Stampin'Up set and stamped in red,

cut out by hand and added with foam tape.

Tghe sentiment is from one of my Club Scrap sets.

This one is called Aspen (2013).

Thank you for looking and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Old & New

As the Holidays just tumbled from one into the other

I am trying to scrap last year first, before starting on

my page for the New Year.

So here is my page about Hanukkah. I used some old scraps I still 

have of the Club Scrap Hanukkah kit from 2006.

The white base is from the Cyprus kit.

Here you see some of the stamps that came with this hanukkah kit.

The sentiment stamped in blue and the candle holder stamped in

versamark and  embossed in silver. The candle lights are little 

sticky gemstones.

The dreidel is stamped on stampboard with black ink

and in the background you see adecoration from a wooden

stamp from Ivory Elegance. Then colored with blue 

by  blending tool.

This silver sentiment on top was hard to

photograph. It was part of a 12x12 inch page, but

still saved for future use, which is now.

And now to something new: the kit for January 2017

is called Color me Happy and while waiting for the 

box of papers and stamps to arrive, I played a little

with the digital kit (see here for only $4,95)

I made a combination of using the stamps from Shades of Winter

(December) and sentiment and background pape from this

new fabulous kit.

The snowflakes and white parts are embossed. 

The metal  silver star embelliment also came from the

Shades of Winter kit and the ribbon is from the Cyprus kit.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Blog Hop tomorrow

Just want to remind you that tomorrow we

have our montly Club Scrap blog hop tomorrow.

The name of the kit is

Shades of Winter,

This is a really beautiful kit

and I love the stamps that came with it.

Here a card that was inspired

while I was walking this morning.

I came across these braches with the

purple berries and so when I came home 

I made this card:

Started out with the branch. I used my misty for the

stamping and markers for the color. This way you

can stamp again and again on the same spot until

you are satisfied with the color.

The silver star also came with the kit

and i added it with a tiny brad. On top of the brad

I added a gemstone.

Thanks for looking and hope you

come again tomorrow to see all the 

different projects I came up with.

Thanks for looking and

have a creative day!

Happy Winter

As today is the first day of winter, 

I had to make this card with my new papers

and stamps from Club Scrap.

This month the kit is called

Shades of Winter.

I have seen this kind of snowman around

and never tried it. It is very easy to do

after cutting 3 different size of circles.

The hat is a bunch from SU! and the face is

made with an old stamp from SU!

I love the snowflake stickers that kame with the

Shades of Winter kit and you will see more

of those when you stop by on out

monthly blog hop after the Holidays.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 4

Good Morning from The Netherlands!

I am enjoying this Blog Hop a lot.

So many beautiful creations.

Please hop over to the

Coffee Lovers Blog

and see all the cards that are linked to the blog.

For todays card I used the owl image, that came ase a freebie from

and you can also download it here. Thanks again,it is a cutie!

Then I used the sentiments that came as a freebie from

Verve stamps, those you find here.

You might notice not all the words are there. True!

I made a combination of the Autumn freebie and this

winter freebie.

The owl image is colored with markers.

For the cup, I cut away a little of the cup, so

you see the design paper through and makes it

matching te background.

Not everything is a freebie! I bought some of the 

beautiful ribbons from Diane Larson. They have such

beautiful warm colors and I love the way they crincle.

I addapted the text a little so they 

matched together.

Thanks for looking.

More fun tomorrow!
