Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day 5, 6 and 7

 

Hello caffinated creative friends,

Here another day of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

For my American friends it is Thanksgiving today,

but here in The Netherlands it is a cold and rainy

normal Thursday.

These are the cards I made for the last few days. Two I have posted to 

my instagram account - 4hetty - for I had no time to post here.

Instagram is quick and easy.

This is #457 on the linky party

and I used papers and dies from Funky Fossil Designs.

The snowflakes are dies from Stampin'Up! and the

gingerbreadman is a stamp from my stash from the dollar store.

This is card #539 in the linky party and used the Tim Holtz

coffee cup die with Funky Fossil Designs papers.

The stamps are from the Nordic Noel stampset.

And now for today's card:

The background of this card #636 is made with a pumpkin embossing

folder with a touch of orange ink on the pumpkins.

The girl is a stamp from the set She is fierce by

Funky Fossil Designs, as well as the cup from the

Layering Cup die set.

The sentiment is made with the computer.

The gold embossed pumpkin stamp is by Michael Strong.

When you open the gold ribbon on the handle of the cup,

 there is the wish for a  Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you for looking

and I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving

with your family and/or friends.

Wedding card for my niece

Hello Crafty Friends,

Last week I was away on vacation to Israel,

because my niece was getting married.

It was a beautiful beach wedding. 

Of course i had to make her a card.

For my card I used two stamp sets by Stampin'Up!:

The left set is a very old wooden set called: Oh, how we danced

and the right set is called Love you still (more recent, but not

available in this years catalogue).

I used a lot of cold embossing powder and the background 

paper has golden dots. It is a pity you cannot see this.

The Cuppah (wedding canopy) is colored with

SU! blending markers.

The ceter part of the card I stamped first, before

I cut it out with this lovely scalloped square die.

This is the back of the card

and the stamped enveloppe (with gold embossing).

A peek at the happy couple.

May they have a long and happy life together.

Mazal Tov!

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Sukkot Blog Hop

Rosh Hashanah Blog Hop

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Tonight is the start of the Jewish New Year. We celebrate this in the synagogue, but also at home.

We send each other cards and the symbol you see very often is the apple with a jar of honey. This symbolizes the wish of a very sweet New Year.

On the 2nd day of the New Year we eat a pomegranate with honey.

 So that is also a fruit you see on the card. 

For the first card I used all SU! materials and papers.

The stampset I used is Harvest Hellos and Jar of Love.

The sentiment is from a very old set called Mazel Tov (2003).

This is the inside of the card with a Jewish sentiment

from my stash.

All coloring is done with stamping ink and a waterbrush.

For this card I made a stencil out of the Honeycomb Hello die.

And the pomegranate stamps and flower are from a set

you cout get for free in the SAB sale this year called

Perfect Pomegranate.

The gold embossed dove is SU!

and the sentiment is Hebrew - Shanah Tovah - a good year!

(by zumgaligali rubber stamps).

Here another version with the Perfect Pomegranate stampset.

Sentiment from my stash (unknown origine)

Wishing all my creative Jewish  friends and those who celebrate

 a very sweet, healthy, prosperous and creative New Year!

A good year!

Happy Father's Day!

Hello Crafty Friends,

It is always a stuggle what to get my dearest husband for Father's Day.

Socks he has enough, perfumes and books too. No wishlist.

So I noticed we only had one beer glass left and so I ordered six new

beer glasses ans some bottles of beer to fill it with.

Tonight I will coock something that goes perfect with a glass of beer.

Ok, not an original present, but just what we needed :-)

At least I had the right stamps to make the matching card!!

They are all by Stampin'Up! with matching dies.

The sets I used are Bubble Over and Mixed Drinks.

De sentiment is from Guy Greetings.

A pity you do not see the Nuovo glitter on the beer glasses.

This is going to be a Happy Father's Day!

Hope all your men will have one too.

Thanks for looking and

have a creative day!
