Back to School 2

Today I created this back to school set with

Club Scrap papers and Ivy League digital images for:

where there is also a Back to school challenge on the

Monday Blog of Simon Says Stamp.

I made this notebook cover with the library

image and sentiment from the Club Scrap hybrid kit.

The boy and mother is a figure from a bag of

paper dolls by Tim Holtz.

Here a peek inside the notebook.

This is the back of the notebook

with another paper doll and a sentiment

from Club Scrap (Oct 2010 Scholarship).

I colored the image with zig markers 

and a watercolor brush.

Also I made another  post-it holder

and I made one before. You find the instructions HERE.

This is the back of the post it holder.

It is blank to leave a message.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

More inspiration for Jewish New Year cards

As Rosh Hashanah - Jewish New Year - is around the corner

(September 10/11) I am busy making cards. On my other blog

Creative Stampin4you I have a blog hop going with

a group of Jewish Stampin'Up! demos. Go here.

For these cards I used an old cardbox I have from 

Stampin'Up!. It came with great bakgrounds

and easu to use flowers and leaves.

Here you see some of the parts from the box that was used.

From the recent catalogue I used 

the set Jars of Love (for the honey jar)

and Pick me Up (for the apple)

The sentiment is from an old SU! set

called Mazel Tov.

Here the sentiment is from Ruth Jewish Stamps.

As you can see i added the flowers with a piece

of foam tape and on top of the flower you find

an adhesive enamel dot.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Back to School

Here my contribution for the challenge

on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog:

Not only all the children go back to school,

the teacher come back to with all new ideas

and inspiration on how to make it this

another great school year. 

So I made this little post-it gift set for my

fellow teacher to give them a boost.

You find all the details of the challenge

Back to School here.

I used some Stampin'Up! design paper

and the cup is a rubber stamp also by Stampin'Up!,

but the sentiment is by Stamplorations.

The sentiment end with the word day, but i cut that off

and repleaced it by the word year, that I cut out

with a thinlit die.

On the back of this post-it stand I made some room

to write a wish for my fellow teachers.

I found this great pen with cm and inches to go

with this set.

Here are some measurements for making your own:

You need a piece of cardstock 5.75"x 12"

scoring vertical: 0.5 - 1 - 4.75 - 5.25

scoring horizontal: 2 -2.5 - 6 - 9.5 - 10.5 11.5

Decorations to your own desire.

I found the instructions here.

Shabbat Shalom

CAS(E) this SKETCH Blog.

The candle stamp on this card is by Santa Rosa

and colored with pencil. The sentiment is by 

Ruth Jewish stamps. All papers and embossing

folder are by Stampin'Up!.

The flowers and leaves are from a SU! card set

and you just pres them out and add them with a piece 

of foam tape. On top a sticky enamel dot.

Thank you for looking

Simon Says: Sprinkles and Splatters

Here is my card for the new challenge this week on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.

I have started this week making my cards for

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

This holiday involves eating a piece of apple

dipped in honey. This way you wish one another

a very happy and sweet New Year.

The challenge this week is:

Sprinkles and Splatters.

So for the background I used some SU! paper with

bees on it and a honecomb die. The apples and jar are

stamps by Stampin'Up! The sentiment is by

Ruth Jewish Stamps (hebrew for a good year).

The splatter stamp in the background is by Tim Holtz and 

embossed with gold embossing powder pretending to be

honey on the behive.

Another look at the splatter in the background,

and the sprinkles on the apple stamp.

I think the apple stamp (from the set "Picked for You")

gives a real good impression of a real apple.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Simon Says: distress it!

When you have the Tim Holtz wine and beer stamps

on your table, you just cant stop using them!

So I made another card for the challenge

on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge blog.

The challenge is:

Distress it!

The background of the card is made with various

Tim Holtz stencils, gesso and distress oxide inks.

The drinks are stamped in black and colored

with ditress inks and a watercolor brush.

The sentiment is made up with stickers from the 

Tim Holtz big chat idea-ology book.

Also on the drinks used a tiny dot stencil to add to all the bubbles.

The card is alos decorated with a few sticky enamel dots.

Cheers!

Simon Says tape it and distress it

Today I had inspiration to make a card for 

the Monday and Wednesday Challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp blog. and it turned

out all could be in one card. It took me all day to make,

for i lost my beer stamp and it was a scavenger hunt

to find my beer stamp ( looking for it i also cleaned

my table, but finally found it clinging to my

Michael Strong coffee stamp! :-) )

For the Monday Challenge it was:

Tape it Up!

I just love these miniblueprint stamps CMS 336

by Tim Holtz with the beer and wine stamps.

 Now I  make lots of men birthday cards with it.

The celebrate is a die and the wordt is one of the 

sentiment stickers by Tim Holtz.

The musical washi tape is perfect for birthday cards.

The background of this card is made with vintage

distress oxide ink. First I colored the card

with a blending tool and with the same color

I stamped the images. The bottles are stamped

in black and colored a little with karisma pencils.

The Wednesday Challenge is:

Distress it.

Thank you for looking

and have acreative day!

Club Scrap August sketch

Today I played with photoshop to make this card

with a beautiful picture I took yesterday visiting a 

flower center. As it is very hot here (between 90-100F),

the best place to sit is with my ventilator and the computer.

For my card I used the Club Scap Lavender Fields hybrid kit.

Here is the sketch for this month.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Coffee & Creepers!

This describes my coffee addiction perfectly :-)

I found these images on Etsy and just had to have them.

These are designed by a fellow coffee friend

Monica Monge-Taylor and you find her Etsy shop HERE.

First I opened photoshop and opened 

the sentiment and the frame (from Create with TLC)

and combined the layers. 

The cup with the spider I added on top and later

colored it with a zig marker.

After saving the image as a jpg I then printed it

on heavy paper and cut the image to size.

The background in black and white is a piece of

Halloween scrap paper from a Tim Holtz paper block.

Purple cardstock, backers twine and some sequns to finish 

the card.

Here you see the inside of my card. A left over paper

from the front and some siderweb stamps.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Be nice or else....!

Here my card for the progressive challengeon the

Faceook group of Limited Runs digital stamps.

I colored and added the sentiment with photoshop.

Next I prented the image and added red background paper.

The scrap paper in the background is from a Tim Holtz

 Halloween paper block.

 Finished the card with black and white baker's twine.

Thank you for looking

amd have a creative day!
