Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day 3

Hello Coffee Crafty Friends,

Another fun day and new artwork for the

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Today i share with you two cards with my favorite sentiment.

It is by Create with TLC, but I have it on my blog

 as a freebie HERE (scroll down to the end!).

So I printed the sentiment twice (large and a liitle smaller).

For the first card I used the largest print.

I cut the print to the size of my card and with the

coffee ring stamp by Club Scrap and my own

handcarved bean stamp I decorated

 the background using distress oxide inks.

On e seperate piece of paper I stamped these cups

(handcarved by me) and cut them out.

One is on the front and the other 3 inside

for i need lots of coffee today to come up 

with some more cards for the rest of the week!

I love how I can make  my own design on the back.

Card 2 is with the smaller printed sentiment.

I started with using the Funky Fossil Designs

Coffee Bean Background stencil and distress

oxide ink.

On the border side I used more pressure 

with the ink. Around the sentiment only a littlte.

The little sloth critter is a stamp by

Clearly Bestotted Stamps (one of my

winnings from the last hop).

Thank you so much for looking!

Stay safe, keep crafting

and enjoy your coffee!

Carehome Cards

Hello Crafty Friends,

The past two weeks I have been making cards for the 

carehome where my mother is staying. They sell the cards

and the money is used for activities in the home. They also sell

2nd hand clothing, 2nd hand things for in the house etc.

For the cards they want cards with no text, so they can use

it for all kinds of occasions.

For my cards I use:

unfinished backgrounds,

stencils,

stamps and distress inks,

punched out figures,

paper flowers,

die cut flowers,

printed image from Create with TLC

pencils for coloring

and more.

So I take one unfinished background.

matching daffodil image and stencil and stamp.

Here you see what I did with the background.

And here is the finished card and a matching envelop.

The butterfly is an old stamp by Stampin Up!

The pictures are all greebies by Create with TLC.

You find them on the Facebookgroup:

Printables for  your Junk Journals with TLC.

The flower dies are by Tim Holtz.

Here the background is made with a few  pieces

of scrap paper that I found on my table and some washi tape.

Matched paper flowers with those on the picture.

Hope my cards have inspired you

and thanks for looking.

Stay safe, and keep crafting!

 

Bugaboo Friday Freebie - Girlz Car Ride

Hello Crafty Friends!

Sorry I have been away lately,

but I had other things on my mind and not

much energy to write my blog. Posting on

Instagram and Facebook is so much easier.

But here I am using the Friday Freebie

that you find on the

  Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

I made an easel card with this cute lady in her car.

The image is called Girlz Car Ride.

You find the freebie HERE, the day after this post.

(You can still grab last weeks freebie).

I found this perfect bckground paper

and the road is a piece of tape stuck on a piece

of scrap paper glued to the inside of the card with

foam tape, so the frond can lean against it.

I cut out one suitcase ad added it to the boot of 

the car and lifted the sentiment from the background paper.

Here you see the construction of the card.

Thank you for looking.

Stay safe and 

keep crafting!

 

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop next week!

It is all happening on the 

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.

See you next week!

Meanwhile stay safe and

keep crafting.
