Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: Day 6

 

Hello Coffee Lovers.

Amother delicious day on the 

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Today I serve you some tea.

As you know there are many Sponsors to the 

coffee hop and by commenting you can win prizes. 

One of the sponsors is Janesdoodles and I am using her

Tearrific  stamp set, 

but I noticed there is also a digital set.

I made these cute gift bags and I show you how to make them.

You need a 6 x 6 inch piece of design paper and best isone

that is decorated on both sides as you can see.

1. You start by folding the 6 x 6 inch of design paper in

half, triangle way. Paper is by Stampin´Up!.

2. Fold onlu the front paper towards the fold line

with tip of the paper.

3. Lift that just folded piece up again and take the right dide

of the triangle and fold it towards the  horizontal folded line

 in the middle of the triangle.

4. Do the same with the left side of the triangle.

Fold it towards the horizontal line.

5. Fold the top flap back down over the other

folded flaps. This keeps the pocket in place and

you do not need any adhesive.

It really started with this gift pouch. It is made with decoration

I liked so much, and wanted to use in some project.

So I cut out all the decoration of the box for my

gift pouch. The sentiment is a stamp from the Janedoodles 

stamp set.

Here you see more of the stamps as decoration of the 

gift puch. The images are colored with zig markers.

Decorations here are made with a few punches I have for

leaves and flowers. The heart of the flower is a sticky pearl.

Stacking 2 cups for  there are two tea bags inside each pouch.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe, enjoy your coffee

and keep crafting!

Cupcake Inspiration Blog: Color Challenge

Here is my card for this weeks 

Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

It is a color challenge: Pink, Yellow and Blue.

A lovely combination.

It has been some time I used Michael Strong's

hand stamp, but these days with a lot of washing

your hands I had to get that stamp out.

So I started with thre colors of oxide inkpad: fossilezed 

amber, tattered rose and broken china. 

Next I got the egg stamp out (also Michael Strong).

With walnut stain I stamped the eggs on the background

and on an extra piece of paper.

The extra eggs are embossed with clear embossing powder

and colored with fossilized amber and broken china ink.

The hand is embossed with pink embossing powder

and colored with tattered rose ink and then cut out.

The sentiment is made with the computer.

After everything is arranged on the card I added 

a few sticky pearls.

And here are my other hand cards:

This one I made for the Simon Says Stamp

Spring challenge on instagram.

Spring is tulips, but this Spring we are 

more busy wth washing our hads,

Do enjoy the flowers too!

This cards represents especially the washing of the

hands with all the blue ink in the background.

Stay Safe,

Stay Healthy

and wash your hands!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Brew-ti-ful Christmas

Today I made two Christmas cards with the Club Scrap

Coffeehouse kit. This first one is made with the 

Hybrid Coffeehouse kit (only $ 4,95) and photoshop.

Then i wanted to try if I could make the same kind

of card with real rubber stamps.

And here is the result. You find the Coffeehouse rubber stamps HERE.

I wanted to share with you how I made the coffee cup in

two colors, so the Christmas tree comes out (much easier in 

photoshop!).

For this i used my Tim Holtz Stamparatus.

I started by stamping the image on a piece of 

post-it.

Next I cut out the inside of the cup

and added the inside to the paper.

Then I stamped the cup and after the inside post-it note

was removed, this is what is left.

Now to add the outside of the cup over the stamped

image and stamp the inside with green ink.

Here the rsult of the stamping.

I finished the tree with tiny sticky pearls and gemstones.

On top a little wooden star.

I created the sentiment with part of a Coffeehouse stamp

and part of a Tim Holtz stam. They fit nicely together.

Hope my cards give you a latte inspiration.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Simon Says: Lets Get Ready For Christmas

I combined the theme of the 

Monday Simon Says Stamp Blog

with the Just Add Ink sketch.

stamp by Michael Strong that is coming out soon: 

The Nutcracker and snowflake.

The green background is a piece of scrap paper-

The red part is made with distress oxide ink in

candied apple and the snowflake stamp in the

same color.Tiny pearls are added to match the 

white dots of the design paper. 

The sentiment is a stamps from my stash.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
