Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop: Day 5

Good morning coffeelovers!

Have you shared your card with the coffee hop?

Want to know all the details how to add your card and 

can win a prize from one of the great sponsors go to the

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.

Here my card with a combination of stamps by Technique Junkies

and stencil by Club Scrap and Tim Holtz.

I was inspired by Tim Holtz, who is sharing many techniques

every Saturday , If you did not know this, or missed one of

the Facebook live video's you can see them all on his blog HERE.

Today I was inspired by the video of the Distress Spray's.

I sprayed several colors of ink on the craft mat.

Next I used the craft mat as an inkpad

and stamped the coffee bean (Technique Junkie) stamp

on the paper.

When you add water to the stamp, you can use it again.

Here are the three backgrounds that came of this.

For the card I used the lightest background and started

with the word coffee with a Club Scap stencil.

Next I used the Tim Holtz coffee stain stencil.

The cat and the sentiment are by Technique Junkies

and are stamped on top with Versafine Onyx Black.

More Tim Holtz tecniques will follow for sure.

Thanks for looking.

Keep safe, enjoy your coffee

and keep crafting!

Blast from the past

This month there is a fun technique challenge on 

the Club Scrap Blog. 

It is to use a splatter technique. 

Mine is a favorite from old times BINGO BLAST.

It was introduced in 2009 by the Technique Junkies.

I have used it before like here.

I used the distress stains inks in several colors

of yellow/orange/green and this is the resultof

adding the inks to the paper. Perfect backgrounds

for my cards.

I wanted to make some Easter cards, so a bunny would

be fun to add to the card. For this I used the bunny

die from Tim Holtz with its matching bow.

All papers are from the Club Scrap Daffodils March  kit.

I had fun making the tail gor the bunny.

It came with the March kit: velvet buttons, just perfect!

As i do not have an Easter sentiment from Club Scrap,

I used the sentiment from one of my Tim Holtz sets.

You might have noticed I made two backgrounds.

I used the 2nd piece for this tag, that I added to the

chocolate treat for my grandsons.

Here a better view of the tag.

The wonderful chocolate colored ribbon

also came with the Club Scrap March Kit.

Thank you for looking and

have a creative day!

Coffee for another sketch

Yesterday I got a bunch of new coffee stamps that I ordered

from The Technique Junkies and of course, 

I had to make a card.

Besides the coffee stamps, they have many more wonderful

kinds of stamps! look at all the February new realeses.

Each month there are new stamps!

For my card i used this sketch.

You find the sketch on the

Die Cuttin Divas Blog here.

I stamped the cat 3 times.

Once on off white,

once on white

and his paw on pink again.

After cutting out all the parts,

i added them on the oval shape with 3d foam tape.

The pink cup was covered with glossy accent and

got a bit to dark for my taste. Have to try that again.

Don't you love that sentiment?!!! 

I have some more ideas with it.

Thanks for looking 

and have a creative day!

Technique Junkies April challenge

You know I love techniques, so now that I found out that 

Technique Junkies is having a monthly challenge,

I just have to play!

This is my card. 

For the challenge it is to use the Tie Die Circles technique

and you find all about this technique here.

For my card the following stamps are used:

TJ Long Tail Retro Kitty

and 

the sentiment of

TJ Silly Walk set

Here is the background that I created 

with some extra splatter. I used distress inks.

I also used the same colors and some bubble wrap stamping

to make the background more interesting.

Then i colored all around the sides with the 

orange color before finishing the card

with a ribbon and the middle panel.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Spring Coffee Blog Hop2

I could not resist making some more cards

to add to the Spring Coffee Blog Hop.

This card is made with Club Scrap Blueprint papers

and Mocha Java stamps. The technique of this card

is called "Modern Grid" and is an oldie but goodie

by the Technique Junkies.

I used the daffodils - a real spring flower - as the color

palet for my cards.

For this modern grid - technique you start with randomly

stamping some images on a white background. Don't stamp

too close together,leave enough white space.

Next take a grid rulerand a black pen. I made 1 inch squares,

but you can make any size that you like or fits your card.

You can add some doodling in some squares

before starting to color.

I colored the squares with water color crayons,

leaving somesquares white too. The sticky pearls

I added I colored with SU! blendabillities markers.

For this card I used Club Scrap papers and a

a Stampin'Up! stampset called Perfect Blend.

The coffee cup is stamped on the different colors

of paper and colored with awhitepencil.

The little spoon is a Club Scrap mocha java stamp

stamped on shrink  plastic and added to the ribbon

with a metal ring.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

Valentine Fizz

This is such a fun technique from the

Technique Junkies to do.

It is called: 

Modern Grid

and you find it in a very old newslettrer

in Apr/May 2007.

It woks like this:

You start stamping the images and

color them.Next you take a ruler

and make the grid with a black marker.

Now you can also color the background squares

and add alittle doodling in the squares.

In the middle i added a little circle made

with shrink plastic.

Papers and stampsare from

What would WCMD be without a card

from my favourite CLUB SCRAP?

So here is my card and as a treat

I have a tutorialfor you as well!

The background to this card is done with a stencil from

the CS Blueprint October kit.

Club Scrp has lots of stencils and you might want to

know what to do with these stencils. Well the Technique Junkies

have just come up with a CD with 40 tutorials on

what to do with stencils:

~Sensational Stencil CD~

For this technique you need:

cardstock

gelatos

baby wipes

Use the gelatos to color your paper randomly.

Use your finger or a finger sponge to rub the 

crayon color together over the card.

Lay down the stencilon top of the card

you colored with gelatos.

Take the baby wipe and rub over the stencil

to take away some of the color.

This is the finished background when

you take of the stencil.

Beautiful, right?! Harly need toadd anything else.

More of these easy and wonderful tutorials 

are on the Sensational Stencil CD.

Thanks for looking and

have a creative day!
