Caffeinated Christmas Challenge July 24: Stars

Hello my caffeinated crafty friends!

This month I knew quickly what to make for the

Caffeinated Christmas Challenge Blog.

The theme this month is STARS.

This is my finished card with an image from

JessicaLynnOriginals - it is Brentwood!

He always appears when there is a Coffeelovers

blog hop.

For my card I used the new Distress SPRITZ

Tim Holtz just brought out. These have a wonderful

glimmer. I made the background with a star stencil.

I also used it on the image and some gold

(fossilized amber) on the sentiment.

It is a pity you cannot really see it.

Here a close up! I cut out  some stars and added

those on Brentwood and the cup on top of the hearts 

which were in the original digital stamp.

Thank you for looking and have a

wonderful caffeinated creative day!

 

Caffinated Christmas Challenge July: STARS

 

Hello Caffinated Crafty Friends!

It is a very hot day in The Netherlands today, so to keep cool I sit in my craftroom with the airconditioner on making Christmas cards! The challenge this month is to add stars. You find the original post HERE.

For my card I used Tim Holtz stamps:

I used thecoffee mug from the  mini bluepint 9 CMS235.

I stamped it for the background and wmbossed it in white.

Colored the background next with Distress Oxide Ink Mowed Lawn.

The embossing powder resists the ink. I stamped one seprately and 

colored it with distress ink and a water pen. The star is from the 

mini blueprints 2 CMS146 and the square and sentiment is

from the new Note Quotes CMS463.

The Season Greetings is from Great Outdoors CMS321.

Small star punch for the stars on the cups.

I liked making this background so much,

that I was inspired to make my4th of July card likewise.

On the stars I added some Nuvo glitter drops.

Thank you very much for looking

and hope you have a wonderful Caffinated Summer!

Caffinated Christmas Card Challenge #7

 

Hello Caffinated Crafty Friends,

Today is the start of  a new month and a new challenge #7 on the

Caffinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog.

If you hop over to the main blog you will see more inspiration

and it is also the place where you can link your own card

for an opportunity to win a prize at Twiddler's Nook.

I have been asked to be a guest designer for this month

and today I share with you my card with the new star

theme for this month.

I started out with making the background with 

a star ad dotted stencil by Tim Holtz. I used texture pase

and tumbled glass distress ink.

The images on my card are dies by Tim Holtz,

but the sentiment is a stamp by Verve Stamps (not

available anymore unfortunately).

Tim's dies are from: Café Colorize and Santa's Helper.

The stars on the cup I did with a white signo pen.

Papers are also Tim's Christmas paper block.

Fisishing off the card with a few sticky white pearls.

Hope you all enjoy a great Summer and still

plan and enjoy to make a Christmas coffee card.

Wishing you all a wonderful

caffinated and creative day!

Christmas Wreath

Today I am playing with a stencil and a stempset by

Funky Fossil Designs

the Starry Circle stencil and

the Christmas Caracters stamp set.

I started out with the Starry Circle stencil and 

Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink.

After sdtsmping all the images I needed,

I cut them out and colored them with my

Stampin'Blend markers.

For the little elf I added some glitter glue

on her skirt..

After adding all the images to the card,

I added a ribbon on top of the circle

and decorated the tree with glitter glue baubles.

Also the heart of the snowflakes have a little 

glitter glue. 

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting!

 

Simon Says: Stars

This card is for the Star Challenge on the

Simon Says Monday Blog.

You find all the details HERE.

For my card I used the large and small

rubber star stamp by Michael Strong.

I started stamping the background with

walnut stain distress oxide ink. I also sprayed some

white ink on it, but that is not very visable on the photo.

The large star is embossed in gold on kraft paper

and cut out with scissors. Next a circle die cut

and the star glued on top.

 The sentiment is a Tim Holtz sticker.

Thank you very much for looking

and have a creative day!

Cupcake Inspirations - Snowman

This week there is a fun challenge on the

Cupcake inspirations Blog:

a theme challenge: Snowman.

Here is my card:

For this card I used all kinds of Tim Holtz materials.

The snowman and the sentiment are rubber stamps

and the background is a stencil and I used 

weathered wood distress oxide ink.

I stamped the snowman on a seperate piece of white 

cardstock, colored the image with watercolor zig

markers and then used a star thinlit to cut the

snowman. The words snowman fell of and I added

this on the left side.

Thank you for looking

Getting in the mood for the 4th of July

Here is my card for 

Anything Goes on

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog.

This card started with my grandson.

"Oma", he said, "I want to do ping ping like

you with these." And he grabbed my blending

tool and made dabbing movements with it.

So I grabbed a piece of white paper and 

a stencil I had close by and this is

the result:

I only had the cut this beautiful background to sice

and added my colored pug in the cup.

"cafe americano" I printed with the computer.

I used the stamp set Pugs and Hugs by

Funky Fossils Design and the

Bubbles stencil is also by Funky Fossils.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

{Cupcake Inspiration} challenge 413

Today I was inspired by the delicious image

on the Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

I found this dotted paper in my stash and

just loved cutting it

and stacking it with the choclate brown colored

paper. I think the die cut birthday sentiments was

enough to finish the card. I just added a fun party hat

amnd put some icing on the sentiment (glossy accent).

Now  I had some dotted paper left and did not

want to trow it away, so I used it to make this fun

spinner card for my grandson's graduation

 to the next class after the Summer vacation.

Yes, he is my little star!

I am hosting a spinner card challenge on the 

Club Scrap blog, so that is how I just

had to make another spinner card.

I love the idea to have the sentiment spinning also!

The star is a rubber stamp by Michael Strong

and the sentiment is made with the computer.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Sunday scrap page: #1 movie

In the middle of the night (between Sunday and Monday) for

us here in Europ the Oscars will be held.I will be sleeping

and see all the fun in the morning. Meanwhile I have made a

movie themed scrap page with various Club Scrap kits

and some Michael Strong stamps.

I used some cut aparts from the movie themed kit

and the alphabet and number stamps from Michael Strong.

The woodsie on the movie real was in the Club Scrap

February kit. I made this movie real with a die from Sizzix.

The red circles are cut with a spellbinder die and the gold

embossed stars are stamps by Michael Strong.

I wish all off you who are watching lots of fun

at the Oscars.

Have a creative day!
