Royal Card and Sneak Peek

Meet our new Royal Family!

 

I made them this card

and wish them wisdom and succes.

 

The card is made with Club Srap papers and stamps.

The papers are Bold Blooms Aug 2012 and Spring Chorus

April 2013. The stamps are Versailles Aug 2011.

 

The play cards I found as an image on internet

and printed on white paper.

 

The crown is stamped with versamark

and embossed in gold.

The blue vlevet ribbon with the iorange ribbon

on top I used to make it look like

the Rouyal sash the king is wearing.

 

As May is international scrapbook month

Club Scrap has  Blog Hop on Saturday May 4th.

Here you see the papers I used for the

project you will see on my blog.

 

It will be something youy can use real soon!

Another sneak peek soon!

 

 

 

Have a creative day!

 

 



Beatrix, thank you!

 

Today is the day of the abdication of

 Queen Beatrix. Now she has left the country

 in the hands of her son Willem Alexander.

 

Of course I had to make a card

to thank prinses Beatrix for all the

33 years of her being our Queen.

This card is made with a text that one

could send to a special address for thanking Beatrix,

but i thought the card needs something extra.

So I glued the text to a new background.

The stars and stripes are washi paper strips.

The royal owl is made with the owl punch

by Stampin'Up! The eyes and the heart

are gemstones. Now my card is ready for sending!

 

Have a creative day!

 

 

 

Tim Holtz April Tag: King

Here is my April tag for Tim Holtz

12 tags of 2013.

Of course I gave it my own twist,

but using Tim's creative ideas

and techniques.

If you have been following my blog,

you know we have a special day tomorrow

in The Netherlands: the inauguration

of the new King Willem-Alexander.

A very big happening for our country.

So I gave the tag an orange metallic look.

Yes orange is the main color you will see

tomorrow. Everyone will be dressed

in orange tshirts,coats, hats, shawl, jeans.

It will be a colorful day!

So my tag is titled:

Time to be the King

On top you see the clock and the hand of the

clock is pointing towards the "W"coin

on the ribbon. The "W" is the first letter

of the new King's name.

The lions on both sides are stamped on

transparant plastic,so I could flip the

lion on the other side. The are both staples

to the tag (covered by the clock.

The 2 is on of Tim's metal numbers

c0vered with bronze, rusty hinges and

mustered seed distress paint.

The word is stamped on kraft paper

and made into a tag.

The crown is out of grunge paper,

covered with the same distress paint as

the tag and added  a little mahogany.

On top a few sticky orange gemstones.

Underneath the crown I used a few

tiles from a scrabble game

painted with distress gold paint.

For all the technique instructions

on how to work with the distress paint,

take a look at Tim's blog:

Have a creative day!



I Love Holland

The Netherlands is in a very festive mood

this weekend until Tuesday.

Today is the birthday of our crown prince Willem-Alexander

and he will be inaugurated as the new King on Tuesday.

So you can imagine all the orange

gadgets that can be found and

all the orange flags that are hanging everywhere.

Yes, orange is our national color,

 next to the Dutch red white and blue.
This is because the Queens is

from The House of Orange.

 These cards are made with a Technique Junkies technique

called Designer Paper Starbust

and is from the April/May 201 newsletter.

I used Michael Strong's  tulips and the mini heart stamps

with some scrapbook paper in the back.

The stamps are embossed in white on colored paper.

On both cards i used a few sticky gemstones to give the

cards some extra bling.

Have a creative day!

Holland by boat

Ben met mijn laptop onderweg op de boot. Het is geweldig hoe je nu overla en altijd bereikbaar ben. Helaas gaat het niet al te snel. Wel wil ik jullie dit mooie plaatje in de buurt van Leiden niet onthouden. Weer genoeg foto's gemaakt om te kunnen scrappen, zodat ik me straks thuis niet hoef te vervelen ;-). I am on my boat at the moment and it is incredible that you can be online almost anywere. It is just not very fast, so lots of waiting time. I just wanted to share this picture with you I took near leiden. I have lots of new pictures for scrapping now, so I won't get bore when I am home again ;-).

Plaatjes/ Pictures

Nog een paar plaatjes van Nederland in de winter. Wat was het mooi dit weekend. Als je op de foto's klikt zie je ze groter. A few more pictures of winter in The Netherlands.
We had such a beautiful weekend.
If you click on the pictures, you can see them much larger.
