Michael Strong November zoom class

 

We had another great zoom class with 

Michael Strong.

We have this every month and I am so happy 

to see a lot of my online friends and craft together.

We all are send a package with 5 cards including

all the elements you need to make the card.

So last night (for me, but early morning in

San Diego) I made these cards:

The first card we made, was this grid card.

We did it before and I love doing it.

Mike has the grid for you on his blog.

As we did not get enough little squares, 

we made a different card than originally planned.

As i went ahead making this one, I made my own variation

with some extra colors from my own stash and added

 a stamped sentiment.

 Card number 2 is this beautiful peacock card with

some amazing peacock ribbon and matching sequinces.

Card number 3 is ready for Christmas.

We were given these embossed background strips

and the dove baubles (stamp by Michael Strong here).

I added the bows on top. That is a stamp from the 

set Jars of Love by Stampin'Up!

The sentiment is from the words stampset by Mike himself

(only not available anymore).

This is the inside of the card, where I used the

4th bauble for decoration. The ribbon is a piece from 

one of the other cards.

For card number 4 we used a photo of a 

picture by Rachel Ruysch, a Dutch painter..

We received stamped squares, silver embossed on 

silver paper. This stamp is called 

Cloisoné Nesting Squares.

The sentiment I added is from a sticker booklet

with sentiments by Tim Holtz.

And the final card is an Autumn card. 

The leaves come from the stampset with the pumpkin:

the Pumpkin Harvest set.

Lovely ribbon and a little coloring.

Extra card from the leftover nesting squares.

I used the grid printed on yellow paper and the red

dotted design paper. Stamped the smaller dove bauble

and embossed it with silver embossing powder.

Everything goes perfect together.

One little square was left and I used it for the inside

With a stamped sentiment and a strip of the same

paper as used for the front.

Maybe I see you in the December class?

It is on December 12. Info on Mike's facebook.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: Last Day

Good Morning Coffee Lovers!

Have you had your morning coffee and

are you looking around the internet?

Hope you arrived here from the 

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.

Because by commenting to all the blogs

of the Super Sponsors, you can win fantastic prizes.

Today I  share a card I made with my new 

Funky Fossil Design stamps:

I used Hogs and Kisses

and the set Time for Tea.

This is my card! Totally cute.

I even displayed it in my new craft room.

I made it easy on myself. I stamped the pigs on pink paper

and colored the wings, ears and snout with a white gelpen

and a white pencil before cutting out the image.

The background is made with these two Funky Fossil

stencils: In the Clouds and scenic border.

The cup and the pot are colored with zig markers.

The coffee or tea (it can be either) are drawn by hand.

A look on the bakground and the sentiment.

For the background I used Bundled Sage and S

peckled Egg distress oxide ink.

Thank you so much for all the wonderfu;

comments and compliments this week.

Thank you for looking,

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: Day 7

 

Good Morning Coffee Lovers,

Have you been visiting the 

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog

and noticed all the wonderful sponsors we have?

Today I share some of the stamps I have

by Club Scrap.

I made this cute little wallhanger with my Club Scrap 

stamps and papers.

The following sets were used:

Mocha Java 2002

Brewed Awakenings 2012

Coffeehouse 2019

Yes, I am a long-standing member and the fill my

coffee hobbit to the brim.

As you know, I just moved house, and still rearranging

my now smaller craft room and when you do this, you

find things you kept for future use. So this little wooden

box came out off a pile. It is only 1/4 inch deep and

I suddenly had an idea. The box is covered with old paper

distress paint and left overnight to dry.

Here you see how it looks when finished.

I measured the boxes, cut the papers

and stamped the images.

The spoons where stamped with versamark

and embossed with silver embossing powder.

In the backgrounds I stamped a few coffee rings

with gathered twigs distress ink.

On the backside another cup with my signature.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe, enjoy your coffee

and keep crafting!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: Day 6

 

Hello Coffee Lovers.

Amother delicious day on the 

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Today I serve you some tea.

As you know there are many Sponsors to the 

coffee hop and by commenting you can win prizes. 

One of the sponsors is Janesdoodles and I am using her

Tearrific  stamp set, 

but I noticed there is also a digital set.

I made these cute gift bags and I show you how to make them.

You need a 6 x 6 inch piece of design paper and best isone

that is decorated on both sides as you can see.

1. You start by folding the 6 x 6 inch of design paper in

half, triangle way. Paper is by Stampin´Up!.

2. Fold onlu the front paper towards the fold line

with tip of the paper.

3. Lift that just folded piece up again and take the right dide

of the triangle and fold it towards the  horizontal folded line

 in the middle of the triangle.

4. Do the same with the left side of the triangle.

Fold it towards the horizontal line.

5. Fold the top flap back down over the other

folded flaps. This keeps the pocket in place and

you do not need any adhesive.

It really started with this gift pouch. It is made with decoration

I liked so much, and wanted to use in some project.

So I cut out all the decoration of the box for my

gift pouch. The sentiment is a stamp from the Janedoodles 

stamp set.

Here you see more of the stamps as decoration of the 

gift puch. The images are colored with zig markers.

Decorations here are made with a few punches I have for

leaves and flowers. The heart of the flower is a sticky pearl.

Stacking 2 cups for  there are two tea bags inside each pouch.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe, enjoy your coffee

and keep crafting!
