Getting in the mood for the 4th of July

Here is my card for 

Anything Goes on

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog.

This card started with my grandson.

"Oma", he said, "I want to do ping ping like

you with these." And he grabbed my blending

tool and made dabbing movements with it.

So I grabbed a piece of white paper and 

a stencil I had close by and this is

the result:

I only had the cut this beautiful background to sice

and added my colored pug in the cup.

"cafe americano" I printed with the computer.

I used the stamp set Pugs and Hugs by

Funky Fossils Design and the

Bubbles stencil is also by Funky Fossils.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Pugs and Hugs part 2

So here are some new cards with my new Hugs and Pugs 

stamp set from Funky Fossil Designs.

Just trying some various techniques with the stencils

and stamps I got.

I used some post it roll paper to pask off part of the card.

On top I laid the bubbles stencil and colored

part of the background with wild honey oxide

distress ink.

This is how the card looks after the post-it paper

is removed.

Here is another version with the bean stencil.

Love how the eayes and the sticky pears come together.

Thank you for lookin and

have a creative day!

Pugs and Hugs

I cannot stop playing with the new stamp set

Pugs and Hugs by Funky Fossil Designs.

The also have a lot of wonderful stencils you should check out HERE.

For the first card I used a combination of two stencils.

I laid the coffee cup on top of the bubbles

and used a post-it note to mask the lid of the cup

(that I later colored yellow by putting the post-it 

on the other side)..

The pug in the cup is colored with stampin'blends by SU!.

For this card, I used the inside of the cup to go on the

card and on top I laid the bubbles stencil. When done

coloring I sprayed the ink with a few drops of water.

When all was dry, I took the other stencil of the coffee cup

and put it on top of the white cup. Masking of the lid again

and took out the coffee bean stemcil to color the inside

of the mug. The pug is again colored with the SU!

stampin'blends.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

I was a winner!

I was a winner at the Coffee Lovers Spring/Summer

Blog Hop and the prize was a gift card from the

Funky Fossil Designs.

Today my prize arrived and was so happy,

I just could not wait to play.

So here is my first card:

I just love the bean heart stencil and used it right away

with vintage photo oxide distress ink and a blending tool.

Next i stamped the sweet pug in the cup and colored it

with my SU! stampin'blends. The image is cut out and

added with foam tape to the card. Ain't it sweet?!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Club Scrap June Sketch

Today i made some digital cards in photoshop.

For this I used the

Full of Scrap Hybrit kit by Club Scrap.

It is their special 20th Anniversary kit.

There is also a paper version if you are interrested.

You find it HERE.

This is the sketch challenge that I used.

You can find the Club Scrap Chat group on Facebook.

I made the image in photoshop by starting with the black

starry background and filling it with the other images.

Only the ribbon is an image from my stash of other

digital images.

After greating it digital, I printed the card on cardstock

an folded the paper to make a real card.

As i ad some room left on my A4 size cardstock for one

more image, but not a complete card. This I cut of and 

mounted on a blue piece of Club Scrap cardstock.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all those Dads out there!

Mine has a moustasche, so I got out some 

Tim Holtz stamp to make my card.

The sentiment I made and printed with the computer

and attached them to the wooden planks I made with 

wooden paper and a wooden embossing folder.

This is the inside of the card.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Simon Says: Masculine

Today my card is a masculine card for

the challenge on:

the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog.

Fior my card I used these bottles of the

SU! Bubble Over stamp set with matching dies.

I made the bottles look like the Dutch beer we

have here: Heineken.

For the background I used some woodgrain paper

and used a rings embossingfolder. When don embossing,

I used a piece of  sandpaper to sand the rings,

that makes them look white now. 

The sentiment is made with a die and a piece of 

foam glitter material. I finished the card with a 

few green bubble sticky pearls.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day.

Brentwood dressing up!

I absolutely adore this image of Brentwood by JessicaLynn.

She made many freebies for the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

and now she dressed him up for the 4th of July.

This image is a digital stamp, you download it to  your computer

and can use it any size you want. Print it and color and use on your card.

You can find Brentwood Owl 4th of July in 

JessicaLynn's digital stamp shop here.

I colored the image of Brentwood with Stampin'blends and 

cut out the image. The background is made with  candied apple

and mermaid lagoon distress oxide inks in the direct to paper

technique. On top i stamped some stars in the same color.

The sentiment is by Tim Holtz. After wrapping the baker's 

twine around the panel, i added Brentwood with a piece of foam

tape on top of the baker's twine.

For the 2nd card I started making the background with the

stars embossing folder. I added the ink to the embossing

folder and a little water before running the folder and the paper

through the big shot. The ribbons aew hand dyed ribbons

by DL.ART and the sentiment is by Create with TLC.

(if you enter 4th of July in the search box there are more

sentiments!)

The image and sentiment are colored with pencils.

Ok, I just had to make one with coffee!!

I made the background with several Tim Holtz stencils

and the same distress oxide inks as above.

I stamped some beans from my stash as well

as the cup. Everithing is colored with SU! stampin'blends.

The sentiment is made up with part of a STAMPlorations

stamp and a Tim Holtz stamp.

The stars are sequins and hard to photograph the bling.

This image was made in Photoshop with a background 

and sentiments by Create with TLC.

Brendwood Owl is also colored in Photoshop.

Hope I have given you some ideas for this wonderful stamp.

Simon Says: Wedding/ Anniversary

This week on the Simon Says Monday blog 

it is all about Wedding/ Anniversary.

As I have no weddings coming up, I thought about

making this years anniversary card for my husband.

it is only on November 22, but as my husband is not in IG

and not looking at my blog, I can have my card ready early.

In all these years, I never made him a coffee card,

but I think this is a cute idea I noticed somewhere

and stayed in my brain to use one day.

I used a heart border punch,

coffee mugs are dies by My Favorite Things,

20 numbers are dies by Stampin'Up!,

and the sentiment and stamps inside the card

are by AlteNew clear stamps. The set is called

Coffee talk.

The little hearts on the mugs came out of the border punch.

The ribbon is from my stash.

Here the inside, leaving room to write at a later date.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
