Time for another sketch Challenge

On the Mojo Monday Blog

there is a new sketch challenge every week.

Iam not playing every week,but 

today I do.

This is the sketch for a skinny card.

I made mine 3,5"x 5,5".

I used Club Scrap Tribal papers

and the sentiment is from my stash

of unindentified but great to use stamps.

 

The Club Scrapkit comes with cut aparts,

a sheet of 12 x 12 with all kinds of images,you

cut to use on cards or scrapbook pages.

I thought this one looks like a clock,so I added

the metal arms.

The back panel I decorated with a clock stencil

and an ash colored ink pad.

A more close up to the sentiment.

I finished the card with some tiny sticky pearls.

Thanks for looking!

and tomorrow

Have a creative day!

Club Scrap October card sketch

Here is my card for the

Club Scrap card sketch of October

that we play on the Club Scrap forum.

Here you see the sketch that we were given

and I came up with a fun coffee card.

Are you surprised? I guess not.

If you would like one of my coffee cards,

please leave a comment to this post and 

on Friday Oct 30 I will pick a winner.

I made some close ups of the cards,so you

can see the embossing folders I have used.

The curly one on the banner looks a little

like coffee steam. The thanks is a die from the 

Tim Holtz. collection.

On the background  you see a coffee splatter die

colored with Club Scrap Topaz ink.

The coffee cup and sentiment are from the old

Mocha Java kit and the papers are from Oriental Express.

Thank you for looking

and your wonderful comments.

Have a creative day!

Halloween inspiration

With Halloween around the corner,

here is some inspiration for you.

For this card I used:

subway art by Create with TLC (only $ 1.40)

papers from Club Scrap

leave embossing folder

Michael Strong pumpkin stamp

Michael Strong cat and bat die

sizzix leave die

Here the inside of the card.

Can't have any left overs!

With Halloween you also need some treat bags for the kids.

So I think this year I keep to an owl theme

and keepit easy for the many bags I am going to make

I usually make different bags,so they can choose.

If you wondering wat's inside the bag: they are a Dutch

treat called "pepernoten". You find the recipe HERE.

I cut some circles to make the eyes and the middle

part is a circle stamp by Michael Strong from the 

accents stamp set. 

A tiny gemstone for a bling in the eye.

The sentiment is by Create with TLC.

Hope you are inspired.

Thanks for looking!

Have a creative day!

Club Scrap and Halloweeen

Each month there is a linky challenge

on the Club Scrap Blog

by one of the membersof the Artist Team.

This month Roni Johnson is the host

and she noticed Club Scrap has no real

Halloween kit,so the challenge is to

come up with some cards with  Club Scrap

materials from various kits.

So I used:

papers from Adobe,Dreamin color and Comics

stamps from Trees, Equestarian

the Halloween sentiment is fromTim Holtz

So card #1 is stamped with a tree

from The Trees UMstamps and

the moon is colored with ink with the

helpof a cut out circle. Bats

are cut out with a die and glitter gold on top.

For this card I cut out a pumpkin face

by hand and added this sentiment on 

top, to go with the sentiment inside.

And here is the inside.All corners are cut

with a corner punch.

For the last card I used a spiderweb embossing folder

for the background. The spiders are cut aparts from the

kit as wellas the tag I used for the sentiment. The wiggle eyes

 are from my stash.

Hope you are inspired and will add your card to the linky party.

Thanks for looking!

Have a creative day!

Tim Holtz tag for October: Trick or Treat

Here my version of my tag for the

Tim Holtz challenge of the 12 tags.

You find the original tag and 

all technique explanations on the

 Tim Holtz Blog.

Here is my tag, not with the skull,

but with the crazy birds.I just love them.

For the background I used some of the Tim Holtz

embossing paper.I sanded it and the letters popped up.

The background taki colored around the edges with

black sooth ink and a blending tool.

For the birds I colored two pieces of manilla apaper with

purple and orange.Then I used it to stamp the birds on.

With the thinlits I cut out the birds. On the orange bird,purple wings

and on the purple bird came an orange wing.

The eyes are cut out of white paper and colored with a

yellow marker.

When I added the spider to the ribbon, I noticed

the spiderweb on the background. Just the right spot!

and each bird has a little treat bag

for the sweets.

The sentiment is fromSimple Sayings and stamped

on orange paper with black archivalink.

This is Tim's tag.

Thanks for looking.

Have a creative day!

Sunday Scrap page: Gone Fishin'

Happy Sunday!

I received these wonderful pictures of Owen fishing.

He desperately wanted a fishing rod,but mom and dad could not

find him the right one. So what did mom do?

She took a twig and tied some string to it.

They have water behind their house,so Owen went out to fish.

But waiting to catch one is rather long,

so I added a Michael Strong fish here!

The papers and sentiments are all by Club Scrap 

Lakes kit. It was a perfect fit to these photo's.

I stamped and embossed the fishes on the vellum paper that

came with this kit.The eyes are little sticky gemstones.

Thank you for looking!

Have a creative day!

Happy Anniversary!

Today is the 7th Wedding Anniversary of my

DD Yael and SIL Frank.Of course I have to make them a card

and there has to be a Michael Strong heart on it!

Why you may ask: well, I made their wedding invitation

with Mike's heart and since then all their anniversary cards

had Mike's heart on it.

So this is the card I created A CAS card (clean and simple).

I used the heart on the place of the "o" in the word love.

They are all stamped and embossed in black and red embossing powder.

The sentiment is by Club Scrap.

Of course the inside is decorated as well.

The lines are drawn by hand.

If you clickon the picture,

you see a close up of this pannel.

Wishing Yael and Frank a wonderful day

and many more happy years together!

Have a creative day!

Ginko 3

3 more cards today and this will close my

ginko triptych with Club Scrap's

Transformations stamps.

 Card #7

For these last three cards I many used the stamp

with the branch with ginko leaves.

For this card I stamped the leaves with green and 

a touch of brown direct to the stamp.

On top you see a butterfly cut out with a 

Stampin'Up! die.

 Card #8

Brown,yellow and green  are the colors  used to stamp

this panel. A few gemstones, hemp  and a sentiment 

and this card is ready.

 Card #9

For this panel I started out with the black leaves.

They are stamped with versamark and black 

embossing powder. Next I stamped with brown.

Then I took some golden glimmer mist and sprayed

this on top of it all. it is a pity you cannot see how 

beautiful this is.

Thank you for looking!

Have a creative day!
