For this card I used a coffee cup digitalbackground paper

and the Coffeebreaktime collage image, both by

Create with TLC.

I printed thes images on 120 gr. paper and 

cut them to size. Also Inkted themwith a blender tool

all around the outside. By hand I filled in some

of the crossword with coffee words.

For the background and the inside of the card I also used

some real stamps.

The coffee ring by Club Scrap

and the beans are from StampinÚp!.

It is also great fun to decorate the inside of your card!

Thank you for looking!

See you tomorrow.

Sunday Scrap Page: Coffee again!

On Sunday i always share a scrap page,

so for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop I do the same.

If you want to know all the details about the blog hop

and how to add your project,go HERE.

While sipping my coffee, here is my page:

For this page I used Club Scrap Mocha Java remix paper

in combination with sentiments of all kinds of manufacturers

and the Michael Strong large coffee cup.

All of these pictures are from my vacation to Italy

only a week ago. This pictures was taken on the first

morning of our road trip.

I guess a lot of you will recognize this sentiment,

I just addapted the word cake.  I love playing with the words I have.

This sentiment is from Club Scrap.

This picture was taken in Florence,where we had a day of rain

and tried to stay warmwith a cup of coffee.

This sentiment is acombination made out of some SU! sentiments.

Hope you all have a beautiful Sunday!

See you tomorrow.

Have a creative day!

Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop 2

Here is my next blog post for the 

Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop.

You can link your card to the hop too.

You find all the details here.

Today not a card to share,

but a bookmark,because

I love reading and especially when the weather

is nice and I can sit with my coffee and a book

in the garden. After my vacation to Italy I am reading:

The House by the Sea by Santa Montefiore.

I made two bookmarks, one for me,one to give away!

Solet me know which one you would like!

For some directions:

the bookmark is 2 x 6 inch.

This scalloped tag topper is perfect for a bookbark.

This way you have a great top and a hole for a ribbon.

Take some book paper and a glue stick.

Tear the paper into fun pieces.

Glue the pieces op bookpaper

onto the bookmark.

Decorate the bookmark with a stencil of your choice.

this is how it looks after using one stencil.

And I used another coffee stain stencil.

Both stencils are by Tim Holtz.

Now it is time for stamping.

The stampset i used is the Coffee Stamp Set

by Michael Strong.

For the background I stamped with the

coffee steam stamp.

Then i used only half of this sentiment stamp

(from my stash)

On the other bookmark,I stamped some SU! coffee beans and 

a Club Scrap sentiment from the kit Brewed Awakenings 2012

Now  stamp and emboss the smallest of the coffee stamp

fromthe Michael Strong set. And then cut them out

with scissors and glue them to the bookmarks.

So this is the finished bookmark

with the hearts

and here is the finished bookmark with the

Club Scrap sentiment.

I think I go back to finish my book!

Hope to see you again tomorrow.

Have a creative day,

Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop

I have discovered the greatest blog: a coffee lovers blog.

It was in the Spring en now the organize a Summer Coffee

Blog hop. You can find all the details here.

There are some awesome prizes to win!

As the hop is all week from 5-12 June,

I will share a card a day with you with one of my

coffee images.

The theme is Summer,so a card with a Summer feel.

So how about an ice-coffee?

The background paper is an old piece I still had from 

a Stampin'Up! pad and by cutting it in 2 x 2" pieces it was just 

right to use as a background to the card.

The coffee cup is a stamp by Michael Strong (just cut

off the ear to make it look like a glass) and the topping is a die

from a set of cup cake. The straw is just cut by hand.

The chocolate sprinkles are made with a pearl pen.

Now for the text I used this big letter stamp from Stampin'Up!.

The wordts fitted right into the window punch.

As for a good recipe of  iced coffee:

Celebrating Club Scrap 16 years

Today Club Scrap is celebrating 16 years

of being there for us and bringing us

a wonderful new kit every single month!

I became a member in 2003 and never

regretted it: the wonderful papers,

exclusive rubber stamp,super instructions

and than there is the RETREAT!

So many wonderful memories!

So what to do on a day like this?

Use Club Scrap latest pizzabox

with The Blues papers and stamps.

This kit came with a wonderful piano stencil.

Stencils are so much fun to use for backgrounds.

I graped 3 matching blue inkpads and a blending tool.

I put the stencil on a white panel and moved it down

each time using a darker blue.

Using the musical notes from the UM rubber sheet greetings

and stamped with it on top of the blue background.

Here you see the full rubber sheet.

For the finished card I used one of the cut offs

and stamped a sentiment on it and embossed it with 

white embossing powder.

Once you get going with a stencil for backgrounds,

you just can't seem to stop.

Here another card. Don't you love that sentiment?

Well,my base is Club Scrap

and thank you Tricia and Team for being out there!

Hope many more years will follow.

Have a creative day!
