Simon Says: new challenge on Instagram

So Simon Says Stamp now not only has a challenge on

Monday and Wednesday on the Blog,

but also a new challenge only on Instagram.

And this is the challenge and here are my cards:

I first made the above card, with a background of

stencils and oxide Fossilized Amber distress ink.

The stampswhere a gift, so not sure of the brand,

but perfect for this challenge. A few gemstones 

for some finish bling and I posted my card to Instagram.

You can find me as 4hetty.

Then I had another idea and made this card with 

a direct to paper background I still had on my table.

I stamped some Honey Bee clear stamps on it.

The tea mug I did on a seperate piece of paper and 

added onto the strip with foma tape.

Some splashes on the background in the matching

color of the mug for some sea feeling.

The sentiment is by Verve Stamps.

Thank you very much for looking 

and have a creative day!

DL.ART anything goes

When there is a coffee challenge I am in and there was one

on the DL. ART blog, but that was last week and I was too late,

but I can add it this week too for it is

Anything Goes

on the DL.ART Blog.

So here my coffee card, made with a die from Tim Holtz,

design paper from Echo Park, a button from DL.ART, as well

as the beautiful red hand dyed crinkle ribbon.

The sentiment is by Verve Stamps.

In the background you see also this border of coffee rings.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Limited Runs Progressive Challenge #27

Ewe, aren't these sheep adorable?!

They are for the progressive challenge on

Limited Runs Digital Stamps Facebook Group.

I used some design paper from a block from my stash for the

background and wool balls are a rubber stamp from a 

cat stampset from SU!. The sheep are colored with

aquarel pencils and a water brush.

The sentiment is made up with the computer and cut out

with an oval die. The hearts are punched out and glued

to the sheep.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

This morning on my walk I found some inspiration!

Simon Says: Frame it!

So I learned that Hero Arts Rubber stamps is celebrating

45th anniversary and I looked at my stamps and found some real nice

ones I still have from the beginning when I started stamping.

I shared them on my instagram and heared a lot of comment on the

lady with the hat stamp, so why not use it again to make a card?!

So I used the stamps for the Frame it challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog.

With a die and several layers of paper I created a frame

around the lady with the hat.

I chose the colors of the 

Color Throwdown Challenge

of this week.

 I added some tiny paper flowers to the hat 

in the right colors matching the papers.

In the corners some holographic purple stickers for some bling.

These are the stamps:

C2919 Take Time

E2490 Hat with big bow

both by Hero Arts.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Simon Says: Use Stencils

Here is my card for the stencil challenge on

See all details on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog.

I used these stencils and ink to create the background

for my card.

Also after the stencils, I did some embossing on

the paper to give it more depth,

Here a close up of the panel.

Now for the focal point, I used these dies.

I found the idea on pinterest and just could not resist

giving this a go. I cut already many cups and are

searching for cross stich patterns to use on the cup.

You will defenitely see more of it!

Thank you for looking

and have a latte creative day!

Happy Mother's Day with Simon Says Stamp card kit

Here my card for Mother's Day!

To be completely honest: this card is the card I wish I would

get from one of my daughters :-)

When I noticed the this wonderful card kit on Simon Says Stamp,

I ordered it for myself and planned to make cards for the

Coffee hop, but it turned out differently.

Have a look at the kit:

I could not pass on this and all the stamps are great for

many occasions. So I made a card for a special Lady: myself!

This is the challange on

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge blog.

I used the stencil and the stamps to make this card

and made some pictures in the garden. With all the

bushes in bloom it was hard to choose which picture to use.

I started with stamping the coffee cup once on the card

and once on a post-it note. I cut out the one on the post-it

note and covered the image on the card, before using the stencil

and oxide distress inks candy apple and meowed lawn.

Next I added the sentiment.

On top of the heart and the roses I added some gold wink of stella.

This is very hard to catch on the picture, but shiny in real life.

Hope all you (creative) moms have a wonderful day!

Thanks for looking

and have a latte creative day!

2019 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: day 8 - CTS321

Last day of the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

and yes, this time I have a card to share.

I totally loved seeing all thes rainbow colored cups.

so when I downloaded the image of this cup yesterday,

I knew I wanted to use it again.

In photoshop I changed the color of the sleeves. 

I used this sketch for my card.

It is from the CAS(E) this Sketch! Blog.

Behind the cups there are stamped coffee rings 

and tiny coffee beans in distress oxide walnut stain ink.

The sentiment is from my coffee sentiments stash.

And on the sunglasses I added a few tiny sticky pearls.

Thank you so much for looking

and have a brewtiful creative day!
