Stay at home cards

While we all try to stay at home as much as possible

(even though one can go out a little more than before),

I still make a card every day using my Club Scrap

stash of stamps and papers.

This time I want to explain a little more

about the techniques I have used.

Card #52

Stamps from the kit Surf's Up 06/2006

Card #53

Stamps from the kit Sea Breeze 07/2018

For this card I used Tim Holtz texture paste and

fossilized amber distress glaze. I took a stencil from

Club Scrap Cape Cod kit and used it to apply the

texture paste through the open spaces. 

When still wet I added the distress glaze.

Now I leaf it to air dry for about 30 minutes.

Then I used the heattool to emboss the glaze.

With several colors of distress oxide ink I colored

the background panel.

Card #54

Here I used the hybrid kit Farm Critters 06/2019

After seeing Tim Holtz's live video on Facebook

yesterday, I wanted to try his collage technique with

distress crayons. I printed these images on printer

paper to use as collage paper. I tore it into pieces

and with collage medium I glued it to the background.

When the medum was dry I used my crayons 

to color the paper and with some water too (like Tim

showed in the tutorial) .

When the coloring was finished, I added 

this stamp with archival black.

Coffee Loving Cardmakers: Day 6

Hello fellow Coffeelovers!

As i move on with creating some order in my chaos,

I came across a sweet image, that I am going to use for my

day 6 card of the

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop.

This is a wooden rubber stamp by Penny Black colored

with watercolor and the cup is a little die I had lying around, 

not knowing from which set it belongs too.

The sentiment is by The Cat's Pajamas Paper Arts.

On the blog they have a wonderful freebie for the coffee hop.

This sentiment i have already for a very long time!

The paper in the background is from de Spring catalogue

from Stampin'Up!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop - Day 5 more

I have been busy today and have to share this other project

I made today. As I am still reorganizing (not only my craftroom)

I came across an album with instructions for a microwave

I do not have anymore. I nearly threw it away and then......

why not recycle it!

Perfect project for the 

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop.

Here you see the finished album. I used all Club Scrap

materials from different coffee kits over the years.

This was the album before recycled.

I started decorating the album with Mocha Java papers

and on the back of the book a strip from the more

recent Coffeehouse kit.

Here the inside. Not finished yet. For a next post!

The red ribbon is also Coffeehouse. The background

is stamped with several rings, beans and cups.

Inside I added some plastic pockets, so I can 

add some artwork inside. 

Enough other project to think of!

Thank you for looking.

Stay safe, enjoy your coffee

and keep krafting!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop: Day 5

Good morning coffeelovers!

Want to know all the details how to add your card and 

can win a prize from one of the great sponsors go to the

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.

Here my card with a combination of stamps by Technique Junkies

and stencil by Club Scrap and Tim Holtz.

I was inspired by Tim Holtz, who is sharing many techniques

every Saturday , If you did not know this, or missed one of

the Facebook live video's you can see them all on his blog HERE.

Today I was inspired by the video of the Distress Spray's.

I sprayed several colors of ink on the craft mat.

Next I used the craft mat as an inkpad

and stamped the coffee bean (Technique Junkie) stamp

on the paper.

When you add water to the stamp, you can use it again.

Here are the three backgrounds that came of this.

For the card I used the lightest background and started

with the word coffee with a Club Scap stencil.

Next I used the Tim Holtz coffee stain stencil.

The cat and the sentiment are by Technique Junkies

and are stamped on top with Versafine Onyx Black.

More Tim Holtz tecniques will follow for sure.

Thanks for looking.

Keep safe, enjoy your coffee

and keep crafting!

The sentiment is by Alt&New.
