Lions for my grandson

Yesterday I went to a craft show with a friend

and found this wonderful set of dies.

As my grandson is a big fan of lions, I had

to have this die set and here are my first creations.

Marianne Design Die - Eline's Lion and Tiger

For this card I used some design jungle paper

for the background.

And I had this fun die and stampset from 

Stampin'Up! called Tropical Chic.

I also made this bookmark

for when you start learning to read

you need one.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Limited Runs Progressive Challenge

I played again for the 

Limited Runs digital stamp

progressive challenge.

This time you could use any of the stamps.

In the nick of time i made these cards

for the challenge was over September 13

and only now I have time to post them on

my blog.

I choose to use the brainbird image for my card.

I made the orange birthday card with the little birdies

peeping through the holes and some punched out

balloons and tree branches.

Then I made this totally digital image

in combination with images from

Create with TLC. 

I printed the images and made it into a card.

I printed it twice, so I could cut out the bird and added

it on top with foam tape.

This is the inside of the card with one of the left over

little birds and a Simon Says Stamp sentiment stamped.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Twinsitting

Goodmorning!

Today we are twinsitting.

(like every Tuesday :-) )

And when I noticed the freebies on the

Create with TLC blog,

I had to create this fun card.

All images on this card are by CTLC.

I made this card in photoshop.

You find the 2 bears here

and the sentiment is from my

CTLC sentiment collection.

And I also found this sentiment

and this is so true.

 I have to use it on a scrap page I think!

So good morning from all of us 

and have a great day!

Shana Tovah!

Tonight the Jewish New Year 5779 is about to start

and so to all my family and friends around the world:

Raymond and I wish you a New Year filled with

health, happiness, creativity and peace 

for you and your family.

To learn a bit more about Rosh Hashanah

(the Jewish New Year) you can go HERE.

And all the symbols like the apple and honey, the shofar

and more can be found HERE.

Shana Tovah!

Apple Picking

Today Owen, Raymond and I went apple picking. We have adopted

an apple tree in an orchard close by. We need apples for the

Jewish New Year that is starting tomorrow evening.

Why apples?

It is a custom to dip the apple in honey and wish each other

a very sweet New Year.

For my page I used Club Scrap Tapestry hybrid kit

in combination with the Orchard kit from last year September.

This page is made in Photoshop.

While I was busy with making this page,

I just had to try and make a card for

Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) as well.

Thank you Club Scrap for always have 

the right kit at the right moment!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

More apples for Rosh Hashanah

Here are a few more ideas with

Michael Strong's digital apple image.

I colored the apples in photoshop and then 

made this sheet in word. 

Small apples for background paper

and larger apples to cut out 

for the front of the card.

Here you see the apples as background paper.

The wish and apple up front is a stamp by

Zum Gali Gali Rubber Stamps.

You find it HERE.

I colored the apple with zig markers

and a watercolor brush.

Here another version of this card.

It is easy to change the background paper.

The honeycomb and the other paper on

the first card (as well as the base) are

Stampin'Up! design papers.

Here you see the larger apples on the circle

(that was first colored with a honeycomb stencil).

The little bee is by Penny Black.

Thank you for looking and have a creative day!

This week my oldest grandson goes to group 3.

the letters from a strip die stenciled alphabet

(sizzix)

vial labels Tim Holtz idea-ology

wih children's hands embossing folder

at thetle sticky red pearls on the apples and text

Simon Says Stamp

Wednesday Blog.

Thank you for looking

Rosh Hashanah 2018 cards

As the Jewish New Year is only a week away

I am finishing my last few cards.

I have these ready cut david star cards, but never used them

(a whole package!). Now I have come up with a way

to use them!

I strted with a stencil on top of the card and a few colors of 

distress oxide inks. With a couple of post-it notes the

back of the card is covered, so it stays clean.

Next i stmped a Penny Black little bee on top of the

honeycomb.

I also printed some apples (colored in photoshop)

large and small to use on the cards.

Cutting them out and ready for use.

These apples are by Michael Strong and you

find it for free HERE.

Behind the stars I added some blue paper for this card

and hand wrote a sentiment inside. The cut out apples

are added with foam tape.

The little honey jar is als by Penny Black.

The Hebrew sentiment means happy new Year

and the beas have some glitter glue on the wings.

You find this sentiment at

Zum Gali Gali Rubberstamps HERE.

For the next card I chose to add some gold paper

behind the stars and also the glitter glue on the wings.

The sentiment is from an old SU! stamp set.

I also made matching envelopes with the stencil and

the bees. Here the front and

This is the back of the envelop.

Digital images are absolutely easy for digital cards.

I came up with this design in photoshop.

It is easy for printing, 2 in one go. I only added a few

sticky sequinces on top for a little dimention.

And if YOU need some quick cards,

I added mine here for you to use. 

So feel free to take the image and

 create your own cards for a wonderful

New Year.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day.
