If you give a crafter a cookie #144

Today I play for a new challenge I found at

If you give a crafter a cookie blog.

It is to honour the medical teams that works so hard

to help all the people that caught this terrible virus.

I made a big card today.

The size of this card is 8.25 x 5.75 inch,

so a lot of people can sign the card.

For this card I used Stampin'Up! design paper

and an image by JessicaLynnOriginal called

Dr. Brentwood Owl.

I colored Dr. Brentwood with Stampin'Blends.

The sentiment comes with the digital inage.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe

and keep crafting!

Thank you panda

Here is my first new card of 2018.

A thank you card with the fairly new

panda stamp by Michael Strong.

It is a set and the bamboo stamp comes with it.

I made this card for ThankfulThursday Challenge on the

Diana Larson Blog.

I started this card by making the backpanel

using the bamboo stamp and peeled paint

oxide distress ink. I also added some black 

splashes with a paint brush and lots of

water and black sooth distress ink.

Next the panda strip was created with black ink

by turning the panda different ways. The bamboo

here is a little die I have. The sentiment is  from

Tim Holtz.

Thank you for looking and 

have a creative day!

Give thanks

Today it is all about thanks and challenges!

Thanks for the challenge

Thanks for the stamps

Thanks for all of you who come and leave comments

Thanks for creativity!

I have two cards made with 

some stuff that was on my desk.

The first card is for the 

CAS(E) this sketch challenge.

I started with the hand stamp by Michael Strong,

that was still on my desk. The set comes with a large 

and a small stamp. They are stamped in walnut 

oxide distress ink and colored with my new zig markers.

Then all the hands are cut with scissors.

This background was still on my table.

It is done with inks on a craft sheet and 

get think direct to the paper.

The hands are together on the background and on top 

you see thanks, made with a Tim Holtz thinlit and

some left over black paper.

Card number 2 is for the October challenge

on the Love Cynthia Facebook Group week 4.

The leave background paper is left over from some of

my coffee cards from the Fall blog hop recently.

The Happy girl is left over from yesterday's card.

Colored with zig markers matching the background.

She is from the "Make happiness a habit" stamp set

by Love Cynthia.

Here also a diecut thanks is added.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Mojo Monday 491 Thanks

So many birthday wishes, wow!!

Had had to make a thank you card, to thank you

all for your wonderful wishes. It made my day.

For my card I used this sketch from the

Mojo Monday Blog.

Of course i used one of the gilded pieces from yesterdays

blog post (here) and some to color flowers

I had left from Club Scrap Delft kit.

I started the backpanel with a Tim Holtz stencil

and my new distress oxide inks (birthday present from hubby).

The next layer is the gilded roses (a wonderful new

embossing folder I found and fits perfect

with Tim's new roses stencils and stamps.

The 3rd layer is a piece of printed flowers.

I first added lightly some vintage photo distress

ink to make the whate paper softer and blend

more with the other layers. Then I colored the

flowers with pencil.

Now I glued all the layers to the card.

Thanks if from Club Scrap's Shades of Winter

and the butterflies are made with a die from 

Stampin'Up! and then colored with the gildingwax.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Thank you tags

I need to move some of my stamps.

My room is getting full and there is

so much new stuff on the market.

I have made a resolution: 

only something new comes in

when I have moved something old.

So I started my 2nd hand stamp blog:

http://cards2ndhandstamps.blogspot.nl/

some SU vintage stamps,

some Club Scrap stamps

and more stamps.

But.....

when they are sold,I always want to

add a nice card to say thank you.

This is what I came up with:

I have all these backgrounds that I made and are waiting 

to be made into something

So I got out some of my thank you stamps.

inks and background stamps.Stamps are all 

Club Scrap

.I cut them all tag size

(so it meant cutting most of them in half)

Used a punch to cut of top corners and a 

cropadile to make a whole in the top for the ribbon.

On top of the backgrounds I used these wooden

Club Scrap stamps with inks that match the colors

of the tags. I used the inks also around the tag.

More scraps used to stamp with the thank you stamps

and also I thought enjoy would be nice

After stamping,cutting the words appart and 

also used some corner punches to make the words

into tags. Used ink around the border.

I stapled the sentiment to the tag

and added a ribbon. One tag finished!

Here you can see all the tags that I made for now.

Maybe you get one if you buy one of my stamps.

I know the 2nd hand blog is in Dutch,

but please send me and email if you

are interested in one of my stamps.

Thank you for stopping by

and creative greetings,
