Could not resisit using this lovely Dutch couple on 

a card when I noticed them on the

Create with TLC Blog.

The couple is colored with pencil and then cut

out and stuck to the hugs and kisses background,

which is a digital paper also from Create with TLC

as well as the sentiment.

Thank you for looking

Coffee cards and winner

Today I want to share a technique with you

that I found on You Tube and really like.

It is with watercoloring and embossing.

Even though I have not all the right attributes,

I have given it a try with materials I have.

For my cards I have used the coffee cup stamps by

Michael Strong and some sentiments from

Create a Smile.

This is the tutorial I found on You Tube

and when you watch it you see here there are 

zig pens used for coloring. I do not have them. I used

distress stains for coloring my images.

If you have problems accessing the tutorial.

here is the website were i found it.

Here is the 2nd card I made. I had a lot of fun and

will try it with other images again.

And now for the winner of my blog candy from last week:

the WINNER of the coffee cup stamps is:

Sketch Saturday: FMS 269 and knitting

Here I am with another sketch card rom the

FMS blog. I wanted to make a happy card and I used

Michael Strong's Fiona's Flock rubber stamps

and sentiments by Stampin'Up!

 The images are colored with pencil.

This is the sketch on the

Freshly Made Sketches Blog.

Now here is the finished knitting I shared 

with you yesterday. For this woven cowl I used a Dutch

pattern, that I found here. 

Now for an English version I searche high and low

and found this here.

It is such a nice and warm cowl and with the

cold weather today I enjoy wearing it.

I used 2 balls of wool from a shop called Zeeman.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Scrapping and knitting

I have been seeing people altering there planners

last year, so this year I want to do that too.

Isn't my new planner a delicious coffee color?

It is A5 size and now what to do?!

I found some classes for free on 

scrapbook.com

that are so easy to follow and give you some simple

beginners ideas. You have to log in (for free) and

find classes for free to follow.

See the header classes and choose organisation.

this is were you find different planner classes.

Here is my first devider page with

Club Scrap Shades of Winter papers.

I guess you also see that fun coffee clip.

That was a gift in the December coffeecardlist swap,

so I cannot tell you the brand.

I used the original page for size

and my envelop punchboard to make the tabs.

An inch strip was left over and I decorated this

with one of the rubber stamps from the 

Shades of winter stamps. The sentiment on top is

 one of the cut aparts from this kit.

I cut two 2,5 x 3,5 pieces of ivory paper for decoration.

I attached tem with washi tape from my stash.

I saw this fun way of journaling in one of the lessons.

My idea is to use each months kit for that month,

this one is just for trying. I like iot!

I am sure you are going to see more pages

in my planner.

Today I also have been knitting, it is getting cold.

So how about a scraf? A neutral color, so it

fits in with all my clothes.

I am nearly done, Will share tomorrow

and also where I found the pattern.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap January kit and coffee

Having fun with my

Club Scrap Color me Happy digital kit!

Here you see all the images that come

with this kit for only $ 4,95. 

You find the Color me Happy digital k kit HERE.

The advantage of a digital kit is that you can 

use images in any size you like. You can print it

large and small and if you are good in Photoshop

you can even play around with it more than I can.

I am working on that part.

Folowers of my blog know that I love everything coffee

and orange is one of my favorite colors. Great combination!

So I printed the orange background image on an A4 size

piece of paper and used the (advertisment) inlay of this

coffee mug to go as a template, to make this cup my own.

I printed the flower that I colored in Photoshop and

also provided with my own text. For this I used the free

font called Beacon from dafont.com dat goes with this kit.

I cut out the flower and added this to the  background and

entered the paper into the cup and srewed the top on again.

I love my new cup!

This is a card made with the same background,

only printed card size this time. Here I colored the 

flower with pencil. The blue border you see here

on the left side also is from the digital kit.

the beaded ribbon is from my stash.

Hope you get some inspiration on how to use 

a digital kit. Some of my friends also used

the digital kit an you might take a look

 at what they came up with:

Club Scrap Old & New

As the Holidays just tumbled from one into the other

I am trying to scrap last year first, before starting on

my page for the New Year.

So here is my page about Hanukkah. I used some old scraps I still 

have of the Club Scrap Hanukkah kit from 2006.

The white base is from the Cyprus kit.

Here you see some of the stamps that came with this hanukkah kit.

The sentiment stamped in blue and the candle holder stamped in

versamark and  embossed in silver. The candle lights are little 

sticky gemstones.

The dreidel is stamped on stampboard with black ink

and in the background you see adecoration from a wooden

stamp from Ivory Elegance. Then colored with blue 

by  blending tool.

This silver sentiment on top was hard to

photograph. It was part of a 12x12 inch page, but

still saved for future use, which is now.

And now to something new: the kit for January 2017

is called Color me Happy and while waiting for the 

box of papers and stamps to arrive, I played a little

with the digital kit (see here for only $4,95)

I made a combination of using the stamps from Shades of Winter

(December) and sentiment and background pape from this

new fabulous kit.

The snowflakes and white parts are embossed. 

The metal  silver star embelliment also came from the

Shades of Winter kit and the ribbon is from the Cyprus kit.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!
