Saturday Card: Coffee

Good Morning!

Have you had your cup of coffee today?

I have just finished mine with stamps by

Michael Strong

and Reunion papers by Club Scrap.

And on the background you see a coffee bean embossing

folder by Sizzix. Also the frame on the card

is a sizzix die ( a old and loved one!)

The large coffee cups from the stamp set

have been stamped with versamark on red and blue paper.

Cut out the cups and to stack them make a slit

in the lower cup and slip the upper cup inside.

The text was inspired by one on the Club Scrap cards

saying "love will keep us together", so I went to my printer

and made my own text.I used the font that is used

with the Reunion kit. They are free fonts and you

find them here:

DK Mandolin

and

Arkwright

And as usual decoration on the inside as well.

These stamps are by Club Scrap and from 2012

and is called Brewed Aweknings.

Have a creative day!

Sketch card: baby

Over at the Club Scrap forum

there is always a card sketch

and by now you know I love doing them.

As there is always a demand for baby cards,

I choose to use a much loved set (by me)

called Oh, Baby! from 2008.

Love the stamps and I still have some

of the papersand even the ribbon is from that

special, edition. You can see some of the 

images on the ALSB instructions here:

http://clubscrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/Instructions/alsb_free/08OhBabyALSB.pdf

The cute little animals are the rubber stamps.

Each image has something colored with pencil.

I cut them out by hand.

Have a creative day!

Sunday Scrap page: new telephone

Even though the new year has started an I have

to make a new book, I want to finish last year first.

Just 4 more to go and 2014 is finished.

This page is from last October when DH and I finally

decided what new telephones we want....yes this took

quite some time deciding and many trips to the

shop and asking questions. But we did it!!

While we were busy installing our telephones I made these

pictures and had an idea for a page,but at the time did

not make it. So now with the Club Scrap Reunion kit

(our clothes match up perfectly!) I finally get it done.

For this large sentiment I used an image

by Create with TLC.It is printed on

the Club Scrap paper and cut out

with a circle spellbinder die.

This set is called "Dial a Saying"set

and you can find it here.

 It is only $ 2,75

Journaling with the computer and printer

and the fun circles are from

Michael Strong's cloisonné medallion set.

The ribbon flowers came with the Club Scrap kit.

The make a wonderful embellishment on the page.

The red circles are punched out of the Club Scrap

paper that is with the embellishment package.

Thank you for looking, 

your comment is much appreciated.

Have a creative day!

Saturday Card: using dies

What else can you do with dies,

that go with Michael Strong's stamps?

They have these little holes (that you need

to align the stamp) and that doesn't look

nice after cutting.

So have a look at these ideas.

You need a card, a pannel (yellow) and the white paper

is for cutting the die (of course you can use any

color you like). Then a piece of colored scrap paper

or paper you have made for backgrounds,but never used.

Take your white paper and cut to size. The take the flower die.

Make sure you have the dots horizontalon the card.

When finished cutting, stamp the sentiment

you want for your card.

Add the piece of scrap behind the opening.

Now add some extra holes around the border

of the card. Take a ribbon of your choice

and pull this through the whole ending at

the bottom with a bow.

And here is the finished  card.

Now for the inside of the card

I used the matching mini-flower stamp and

a multi-colored inkpad.

Here the finished inside of the card.

Now Mike has more dies to play with!

How about the heart for Valenine?

The little hards on the ribbon are done

with a paper punch.

For this card i used the mini heart that comes in a package

with the mini flower, fan and easter egg.

Here the inside of the card.

Hope I gave you some inspiration today.

Have a creative day!

Sunday Scrap Page: Surprise

Now I can tell you the wonderful news!

Owen is going to be a big brother!

One day the family arrived at our home

and showed us this notice:

Well I got it right away, Yael was pregnant.

This was such wonderful news.

Then she went to the midwife for her

first appointment and ultrasound.

Well, then they got their surprise.

Yael was not expecting one baby but two!!

OMG, they were in shock,could not believe it.

Yael called me right away:

Mama,I am going to have twins!!!

Here is the ultrasound and there is no way of denying it!

Before you start asking: yes,it runs in the family.

I am the eldest at home and my brother and sister

are twins. My mother was so surprised and she

loved seeing the picture, for in her time they did

not have this and she thought she was going to have

 one baby until the moment the 2nd one was born.

Here a close up. What will it be? 2 boys,2 girls

or a boy and a girl? That will have to wait another month

before they can see it. Owen is saying he is

getting a brother and a sister.Will he be right?!

The Club Scap Reunion papers finally arrived

and they were so right to make these pages.

Also I used Michael Strong's frame stamp 

to make these corners for the pictures.

The pages are inspired by the free ALSB

templates you can download from  the Club Scrap site here.

Have a creative day!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all of you

and I hope it will be another creative one.

My snowman is very happy today to send you

lots of good wishes and may all the

wishes you have for this year come true.

For the snowman I used the template

from the previous post here.

The face,the arms and the buttons are

froman old SU! set called Cold Play.

The little doggies are from the 

Michael Strong Snow Pal set.

The background paper is from one of those

Christmas paper blocks. The sentiment is

printed with the computer.

Wishing you all a very creative day!

Club Scrap Blog Hop: Reunion

Welcome to the last Club Scrap Blog Hop

of 2014. I hope you came over here from

  Tricia's Blog

with another of her wonderful ideas.

If you get lost anyware along the road, you can alsways 

go to the main list on the Club Scrap Blog.

So here is my entry. This time I was unlucky

with my Club Scrap pizza box to arrive.

Due to the busy time at the post office my box

is still not here, so for my entry I worked with

the digital kit this time. No delivery problems there!!

I made a hybrid project.

As I am a total nitwit with digital stuf,

I just used the images as jpg and printed some papers

and this is the result:

Yes,i want to wish you all a very happy,healthy,

creative and wonderful New Year.May all seasons

bring you all that you wish for yourself in pizzaboxes!

To make these boxes I printed 3 light brown papers

and 3 of the colored papers and also the numbers

of the year ahead of us.

I used these framelits from Stampin'Up! called

Curvey Keepsake box to cut the papers

and the labels.

The I printed this image 4 times on special

shrink plastic for the printer

With pencil I colored ech picture acording to

one of the 4 seasons before shrinking it

with the heat tool.

You are probably wondering about the size:

the print is 3,5"x 2,5" and when it is

shrunk the seize is 1,5"x 1,25".

Here you see them all finished.

On the back i made two of them intoa brooche

and the other two are with magnetic tape.

All of the seasons go into a box.

The labels are stamped with the word happy

with alphabet letters from 2007 Be Still.

The number 2015 I printed on white paper

and used ruby red ink aound the cut out circle

and added the scalloped circle behind it. Blue paper

alsoprinted from the digitalkit.

These boxes are a cute present and also wonderful

for decoration on new years eve.

More inspiration with this kit

you find on the blog of the amazing

Kay Williamson
