Baby cards #5

Here we are with another kind of baby cards:

a card for the new grandmother.

For this card I used a stamp from the

2003 Stampin'Up! set Sketches.

The sentiment however is from a set called

Beautiful You and is a very popular new stampset

in the Spring/Summer 2017 catalogue.

You can find that catalogue here.

(and if you need any stamps, you can contact me for ordering)

Now to share with you how the card is made:

the background is done in the acrylic block stampin.

For this you need 2 or more colors of in, an acryl block,

a water spritzer and paper (aquarel paper is what I used).

- Stamp the ink direct to to acryl block

- Spray  a little water on it

- and stamp on the paper

This is the background that I got

after stamping. It varies every time

you stamp and also depends on how much

water you spray on it.

After the background has dried I took the stamp

and black in to stamp on the background.

Also the sentiment was stamped in the right

hand corner at the botom.

Then with a water brush and the darkest  ink

color I colored the blanket of the baby to

give that an extra accent.

Each of the finished cards I decorated

with sequins matching the background colors.

Thank you fro looking

and have a creative day!

Baby cards #4

It is a week full of baby cards, I think

I keep it this way and find challenges to make

new cards.

I found this color challenge at the

Color Throwdown Blog.

The bear is from the set Cookie Cutter Christmas

from Stampin'Up!. The background is design paper

from Stampin'Up! that is not available anymore.

I am trying to use up some of my design papers.

The sentiment on this card is a digital image from

Create with TLC. I covered

the rattle with a red button and colored the bow with a red marker.

As the first one is a boy version.

I also wanted to make a girl version in the color challenge.

These cards are easy to make and wonderful now that

I need a lot in a short time. If you like them and want

one to feel free to email me, or leave 

your email in the comment box.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Baby cards #3

So here are two more baby cards

and I used a sketch for these..

The sketch #305 is from the

Try Stampin'On Tuesday Blog

and my favourite thing at the moment

is babies!

The bear image is from the Cookie Cutter Christmas

stamp set from Stampin'Up! and the sentiment and banner

are from other SU! sets. This is such a fun sketch

that I made a boy and a girl version right away.

On both cards the left part of the card is embossed

with the SU! cable knit embossing folder

and the design paper in the backgroundmis also

SU!. The little hearts is from an old pack and

not available anymore, but on the blue

version it is the Morpccan Design paper and that

is still available. I love it!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Mojo Monday 480

Today seems to be Blue Monday....

do you feel it?! 

So i was thinking of a card with at least something blue.

If you feel blue, a cup of coffee always helps!

She here my card.

I used the sketch from  the

Mojo Monday Blog

to make my card.

The sentiment on my card is from

Create with TLC.

The paper is made with a coffee bean stencil

and some distress ink.

The other papers are some old design papers

from Stampin'Up!.

The robot image is another fun freebie from the

Dearie Dolls Digital Stamps Blog.

The cup and donut are stickers I received in a swap

and the beautiful ribbon is from Diana Larson,

who has these beautiful handdied ribbons.

I printed the image twice and cut out the head, the belly

 and the shoes and added them with foam tape for

a 3dimentional look on the robot.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Saturday sketch card: Mojo Monday 479

Happy Saturday!

Had fun playing with the Mojo Monday sketch for today.

It is going to be an owl post, for my friend Paulette

from Create with TLC

has send me this lovely word ard and I just had to use it

for I love owls.

For my card I used this sketch from the

Mojo Monday Blog.

For my card I used

Michael Strong's owl stamp

distress markers

versamark and white embossing powder

I started with printing the sentiment on white paper

anbd cutting it to the size I wanted. Next the owl

is stamped with versamark and embossed with white 

embossing powder. The image is ready for coloring.

I colored with the markers on my craft sheet and with 

a paintbrush I colored the owl. The white embossing

lines work as a resist.

The tree is a die from Tim Holtz.

In the background I used plain blue and scrap paper

with the feathers.  

A few leaves are in the place of the circle from

the sketch.

And here is another card that i made:

This is a z-fold card with an image I found on internet.

Here you see how I folded the card.

First double and then the front of the card double 

again towards the front.

The cute flowers are from my stash.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Inspiration for Chinese New Year: The Year of the Rooster

On January 28 the Chinese New Year takes place and

their years always have the name of an animal.

 This year will be the Year of the Rooster.

Here you find some more information about the

signifigance of the rooster and if you where born

in a year of the rooster and what it means for you.

This card looks complicated, but below I explain 

how to do it and you notice how easy it is.

I used:

The Year of  the Rooster stamp from Art Neko

Holiday Greetings also from Art Neko

Start with stamping the rooster with versamark ink at

random on the background panel. Emboss it with white

embossing powder.

Now color the paper with red and orange ink 

with a blending tool The white embossing powder

works as a resist.

Take the sentiment and stamp with black ink.

Finally add some drops of water. Heat set.

Stamp the center piece with the rooster in black ink and color

with pencil. To assemble the card wrap some red/white

twine around the background panel, add the rooster with foam tape.

The happy new year is stamped on a piece of white paper and cut 

into 3 pieces and looks like the rooster is shouting it.

For this card I used the same rooster stamp and here the

background is even more easy!

 I used a piece of matt silver paper for the back panel.

Stamping the rooster at random with black ink.

For the center piece I embossed the rooster in red.

On the silver background I added some silver holographic

sequins to add some bling to the card.

Thanks so much for looking

and have a creative day!
