Lucky Jar

Today i have a cute and easy project for you.

When there are Irish in the family,you cannot

miss out on St.Patricks Day (March 17).

and when theseIrish have all these baby food jars

I wnet to pinterest for some inspiration

and see here the result:

An Irish Luck candy jar.

I started with spraying the lid of the jar with

gold spray and set it aside to dry.

While thelid is drying I started with stamping

Michael Strong's small heart in versamark

 and embossed it with lime green embossing powder.

Then I took a blending tool and my lucky clover

distress ink to color the inside of the hearts. Then  I cut 

out the hearts with my scissors.

Meanwhile the lid had dried and I stuck a piece of 

foam tape on the middle of the lid and arranged

the heatrts as a 4-leaved clover with a sticky pearl

in the heart of the flower.

I arrange a green dotted ribbon around the jar

with a sentiment from Create with TLC.

You find the image this week on the blog

as a FREEBIE HERE.

This sentiment was printed with the computer.

I cut a slit left and right to get the ribbon through.

I want to enter this cute project for the

Green theme and ribbon or trim on the

Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.

And for the DL.Art Blog

March Challange: Anything goes.

And also for the

Bit O'Green challenge on

the Simon Says Stamp Blog.

Thanks for looking!

Have a creative day!

Club Scrap March Technique: Masterboard 2

Hello!

Yesterday I shared with you how I made this

12x12 inch piece of paper called Masterdboard

for the Club Scrap March Technique.

I have been cutting this up to make cardsand the first two

 I shared yesterday and here are two more.

When I looked at these cards,I suddenly realized 

my cards where just the right color for the 

Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

So for one card I added a pieceof watercolor paper

and used the same distress stains that I used for the masterboard.

Added a little of the stencil too

and the same stamp, creating a background

fitting one of the scraps.

So here is the finished card and I only added the

woodsie word dream. Yes,dreaming of Spring.

No scraps are trown away: even a strip

is used for the inside of the card.

And the other card fits the 

Freshly Made Sketches Blog.

Here is the other finished card with a piece of the masterboard

paper. I wanted to express Spring and I think this one

really looks it: flowers,bids and the colors.

Still a big piece of masterboard left, so I hope you

will come back and see my other cards and a 

scrapbook page is also in the making!

Most papers are from Club Scrap Woven Strands.

Stamps are all from different Club Scrap kits over the years.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

Club Scrap March Technique: Masterboard

Welcome to another Club Scrap Technique Challenge.

This month Lilian has come up with a fun technique

called : Masterboard

and she even made a video tutorial about it

that you can find on the Club Scrap Blog.

As I am in the mood for Spring I created this

12 x12 inch page with some of my favourite

Club Scrap stamps from the past:

Here is how I created this page:

A blank page of 12 x 12 inch paper, a honeycomb stencil,

3 colors of ditress stain,some wooden stamps and 

some unmounted stamps.

First i colored the background with the stencil and 

the colors of the stains.

Next with a few colorsof ink I stamped randomly

over the paper like shown in the video tutorial.

I used the distress stain to color the flowers here

and there .

An the last touch is splashing some black soot distress stain

 over the page. Now the masterboardis ready tobe cut

and used to make cards.

Here aree the first two:

For the first two cards the paper is from the Woven Strands kit.

I made the first card with the sketch

on the Can you Case it Blog.

Cutting up the masterboard was hard,

because I quite liked it (could also

have been used as a scrapbook page).

I also want to see how many cards I can get out of it!

Hope you come back this week and see more

of the cards theat I will be creating.

Now what to do with the piece of paper where the circle

was cut from? Well used it for another card with a 

stamp inside from the New Club Scrap kit from

March called Paris Fleamarket. You can see it HERE.

You might give this technique a try too and add your

link to the Club Scrap linky party.

Thanks you for looking.

Have a creative day!

Feels like Spring

All around the daffodils are blooming,

so it really starts tolook and feel like Spring.

Here is my card for the sketch challenge

on the I {heart} sketch challenge with a twist

on the From the Heart Blog.

I used my free image that I received for playing

last month. Thanks for this!

The sketch has a twist: use a big sentiment.

I colored the image with pencil this time.

The dog I colored twice and cut out once to make

it 3d with adding it to the main image with foam tape.

And here the sentiment that came with this image.

If you like it, you can purchase it HERE.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

From The Heart sketch 141

Here I am with another 

FromThe Heart Blog challenge.

I like this coffee girl so much, I had to use it again!

The challenge is the sketch or an easel card,

so I did both.

I have colored the girl digital, but I have to learn a lot

on that front! I am not satisfied, but the beginning is there.

Practice makes perfect right?! So more practice it is.

I printed the image twice, so I could make the cup stand out!

Here you can see the complete easel card.

There are many tutorials about easel cards online.

Here you see the toally fun sentiment that 

comes with this sentiment.

And just want to say thank you for the DT team 

to have chosen my last card as one of their

3 favourite cards.

Have a creative day!

Sunday Scrap Page: Mint Tea

Happy Sunday to you all.

My scrappage today is inspired by the 

sketch on the 

Freshley Made sketches blog.

I thought (even though I already made a card)

I would give this sketch a go for my

weekly scrapbook page as well.

I had lunch with my youngest daughter last week

and made a beautiful picture of her while drinking 

mint tea. So I had the idea of making a border with

Michael Strong's leaves stamps.

All papers are by Club Scrap.

I stamped the leaves with the new distress crayons.

For this I spritz alittle water on the stamp and then the crayon

and stamp a few times.

As i was not totally satisfied with the image I took some

light grey ink and stamped the same stamp on the green

background. This way you see a little more of the lines.

I arranged the lives as  border beind the picture adding 

a ew dots that I still have from one of the Club Scrap kits.

The sentiment is from My Favourite Things stamps.

The doily is from my stash.

You might wonder about the background paper.

This I made long before and was from my stash too

ready to use. It is stenciling, spraying and stamping.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!
