Coffee Blog Hop aftermath

Now that the blog hop is over, I am left with some project,
I just had no time to add anymore, but do want to share with you.

This is not a card, have no idea how to call this,
so if you have an idea, let me know in the comment box.

I used Tim Hotz coffee cup die and Stampin'Up!
Cookie-Cutter Christmas stampset and matching paper punch.
This blog holds the paper card. I have it for ages
and when I got the Christmas stuff out, I found it again 
and suddenly had the idea for this "card".

I cut out the rectangular shape in the sleeve added
vellum paper and stamped the sentiment on it.
Inside the cups I added the gingerbread men.
When it is dark I put the light on.

There were a lot of freebies along the 
blog hop and i hardly had time to use them all.
Here is the Marshmallow Snowman
from Jessicalynn Original.
I colored the image with photoshop and printed
it twice. The sentiment is from Create with TLC.

After cutting the image with an oval die, I cut out the
cup and the snowman and added it with foamtape
to the cup, to add some dimention. Do you notice the
image on the cup? Yes! Brentwood is there!

Another freebie is the sentiment from Create with TLC
and I love it, so I cut another cup with the die
of Tim and and images from the SU! stampset.
The background paper is also from Create with TLC.

Some more freebies were there that I haven't used yet
and hope to share with you another time.

Thanks for looking
and have a latte creative day!

Sunday scrap page: boys & toys

Welcome to another scrap page Sunday.
We took the grandkids to a wonderful car museum 
on our babysit day. It was so large and there was so much to 
see, even DH forgot to take pictures!

The museum is called the Louwman Museum and
all the info about it can be found HERE.

For this page I used Club Scrap Literature papers
and Michael Strong alphabeth stamps.

The border on this pocket (with the museum folder inside)
is made with Michael Strong circle from the
nonagon stamp. It does look like a wheel from a car.

Thank you for looking 
and have a creative day!

Saturday sketch card: Christmas trees

Happy Saturday!
Her is my sketch card for today.

I used the sketch from 
and you find all the details here.

For my card I used the smallest of
Michael Strongs Christmas tree stamps.
I started with stamping the tree with versamark
and embossing the trees with white embossing powder.

Next I punched out a moon of post it paper
and then i colored the background in two shades
of blue. At the bottom there is a piece of post it note
to leave a border of white.

It was so much fun making this sketch, I made two cards.
On both cards you find sentiments from Stampin'Up!.

On both cards I splashed some white distress ink
and layered them on silver paper. it is a pity
you cannot see that well on the pictures.

Thank you for looking
and have a creative day!

Day 7 Coffee Lovers Hop: Club Scrap technique challenge

Goodmorning on day 7 of the Coffeelovers Blog Hop
Well not really a technique. We were to make a non traditional

up with an idea.

 Club Scrap mocha java remix stamps
Tim Holtz thinlitz dies
sentiment is from Club Scrap A very Groovy Christmas
a piece of gold thread
scented embossing powder
and 2 sticky pearls.

Yes, i used coffee scented embossing powder for this 
sentiment, so the card really smells of coffee when
you get it out of the envelop.

There is still time to add your card to the linky party of the
Coffeelovers Blog Hop. Go there and see what wonderful
prizes you can win.

Thank you for looking

Welcome to another day of coffee card fun.
Today I used mainly digital images from
The background paper, the cup on the sweater 
and the sentiment are all digital.

I found the template for the sweater HERE.

embossingfolder by Stampin'Up! to make it look so real.
The borders I drew by hand. The patches are done
with a paper punch and the dotted line with a white gel pen.

The ribbon is from Diana Larson and the are so wonderful

The sentiment is with a cocoa sentiment for today is
