Valentine for CTD479

Getting my Valentine cards ready

and using a color challenge for this card today.

I used this weeks color challenge on the

Color Throwdown Blog.

These heart stamps are by Michael Strong

They are stamped in red and pink on red and pink

paper and than added clear embossing powder.

Next I stamped Mike's penguin stamp in hickory smoke

and embossed it also with clear embossing powder.

Blushing cheeks and red schoes colored with

zig marker.

The sentiment is by Club Scrap (Valentine's Feb 2008).

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Coffee for another sketch

Yesterday I got a bunch of new coffee stamps that I ordered

from The Technique Junkies and of course, 

I had to make a card.

Besides the coffee stamps, they have many more wonderful

kinds of stamps! look at all the February new realeses.

Each month there are new stamps!

For my card i used this sketch.

You find the sketch on the

Die Cuttin Divas Blog here.

I stamped the cat 3 times.

Once on off white,

once on white

and his paw on pink again.

After cutting out all the parts,

i added them on the oval shape with 3d foam tape.

The pink cup was covered with glossy accent and

got a bit to dark for my taste. Have to try that again.

Don't you love that sentiment?!!! 

I have some more ideas with it.

Thanks for looking 

and have a creative day!

Happy Birthday, Yael!

Today my eldest daughter is the Birthday Girl!

How time flies!

Now she is the mother of 3 beautiful boys and together

with her husband they have a busy life.

I wish her health and happiness

a wonderful life and until 120!

Mazaltov!

Of course a handmade card and I used

the cute new panda stamps by Stampin'Up!

Here the finished card with a beautiful pink ribbon by

DL.ART. Everything else is Stampin'Up!

I stamped the panda's on kraft colored paper and colored 

the panda's with a white pencil.

Inside I made a little money pocket.

Yael, enjoy your day!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Tea Together?

After i finished my card yesterday, I was in the mood for

making another card with the same colors.

They were on my desk anyway!

Here the colorchallange again from the

Color Throwdown Blog.

I used these colors of oxide distress ink.

For the background i also used a stencil like on my card yesterday, 

just not the hert stencil, but one with roses (forgot to make another picture).

For this card I used these fun tea cups by Verve Stamps.

I colored the cups  first with the distress oxide ink and

with the matching distress markers.

The sentiment is also by Verve Stamps.

The green ribbon is by DL.ART.

On top of the cups you see the enameled dots

in the matching colors of the cup at the heart of the flower.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

A whole latte love

With Valentine around the corner, here another

card full of love for a color challenge.

Here are the colors of this weeks challenge on the

Color Throwdown Blog.

I used these colors of Distress Oxide ink

with Tim Holtz heart stencil. I colored the

background at random.

The pink paper is the pase of the card and on top of the

hearts i cut this lovely cup out of two colors

and added them to the yellow background.

In the back you see a lovely light pink hand dyed

ribbon fron Diana Larsons collection.

I used green, pink, yellow and blue enameled dots

on the side of the card.

The sentiment is a stamp from Verve Stamps.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Dog for Chinese New Year

Did you know the Chinese New year is in Febuary?

To be percise it is Febuary 16 and it is the start of

the Year of the Dog.

For this you find a wonderful FREEBIE on the blog

of Michael Strong HERE.

Thank you very much, Mike!!!

So I downloaded the image and for this first quick

card, i colored the image in Photoshop and cut it 

out with scissors. The card is 5"x 5" and for the

background I use the Tim Holtz rays stencil with

red ink. Then I cut out the circle and added some red ink too.

Around the black strip of paper I added the red ribbon

from my Diana Larson stash.

The chinese dog character is a stamp.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap Surprise Color Blocking

Welcome to my post for the 

Club Scrap Blog

Januari Surprise Linky Party.

Here my contribution with this month's technique

Color Blocking. You find the original post about

this technique HERE. 

Mt cards are made with the digital Surprise kit

and my stash of Club Scrap papers.

Form my color blocking cards I printed these 

backgrounds from the Surprise Hybrid kit.

Got out some papers from my stash to be 

cards and background panels.

Then I stacked the printed papers and 

cut them all three together.

Next I divided the papers over the 3 panels

and realized these 3 color blocking backgrounds.

With each background I created a different card.

Card #1

The sentiments you see on the cards

came with the digital kit and were printed

on heavy white paper. Ribbon from my

CS stash (I think it might be from the 

Greece kit) and the balloons are punched

out from the many scraps I have saved.

On top of the balloons there are some white

circles stamped, like there are in the 

background paper.

Card #2

Same background, different sentiment

and hemp thread. The party hat is a punch

as well as the muffin. 

The muffin is made with a punch builder

from Stampin'Up! and Club Scrap paper scraps.

Card #3

For this card yet again a different sentiment

and ribbon. To emphasize the confetti

I added some sequins in different

colors to the card.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap January Sketch

Here is my card for the sketch challenge on the 

Club Scrap Forum. For my card I used some left

over papers and stamps from the Trattoira kit (Nov 2017).

This is the sketch and if you are a member on

the forum you find the sketch here.

For the card I used a strip of the cut apart and made it into

squares. The pizza is from the digital kit and colored in

Photoshop. I printed it twice and added the pizza with foam tape.

The sentiment is cut out of glitterfoam and glued to the background.

Here you see the inside of the card, were the white

paper is decorated with the unmounted stamps 

that came with this kit.

Hope to see you again tomorrow, when there  will

be sharing of projects with the Club Scrap

January Surprise kit.

Thank you for looking and

 have a cretive day!
