23 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - day 6

Hello Caffinated Crafty Friends,

It is already day 6 on the

23 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

For today I found some Christmas decoration

in the dollar store:

These wooden snowflakes for the Christmas tree.

Well, I could not resist decorating these with coffee!

I found this wonderful freebie sentiment on Bird's Cards

and it was perfect for my snowflake.

The snowman is by Paulette from Free Printables for

your Junk Journaling.

I added the tree decoration on the card with a tiny clothespeg.

This way you can remove the wooden snowflake and hang it in your tree.

I also added the sentiment to the card, on the same place

as the snowflake. When you remove the snowflake one

still has a great card!

Thank you for looking.

Have a caffinated crafty day and

hope to see you tomorrow!

 

23 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - day 5

Welcome back Caffinated Crafty Friends!

Here I am with another fun card for the

23Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Today I use again printable images by Paulette Slater that

she shares on her Facebook page called:

Free printables for your Junk Journaling.

These images are for a Christmas challange, but of course

I had to add these adorable Santa mugs.

All images are printed and cut out by hand.

The background are embossed coffee beans instead of

snowflakes.

Here the inside of the card:

The tree is only half glued to the card, soI could add 

a tag (or a giftcard)

This time of he year I brous the garden centers with

their Christmas shows and found this tiny Merry

Christmas ribbon.

Thank you for looking.

Caffinated crafty greetings

and hope to see you again tomorrow.

23 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - day 4

Welcome Caffinated Crafty Friends,

Another day at the 

Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop.

Today I share with you a tri-fold schutter card.

I found this wonderful instruction video tutorial on You Tube:

For my card I used images by Paulette Slater.

She has a wonderful  Facebook page with lots

of free printable images and lots of coffee!

Free Printables for your Junk Journaling with TLC

The card is a slim card when folded 2 3/4"x 8 1/4".

All images are printed with the computer  and

cut and decorated with a white gel pen.

It looks very complicated, but when you follow the video intruction

it is quite simple. And in the end you just decorate all the quares with 

a picture or a sentiment.

Perfect for all the coffee images I had!

Back of the card with design paper and

another coffee image. All sentiments are also 

by Paulette.

Thank you for looking.

Caffinated crafty greetings and

hope to see you again toorrow.

Here is my card for day 3:

Today I have used the FREEBIE from JessicaLynn.

She makes these adorble images with Brentwood owl

and coffee. Today he is meeting Santa.

You find the free digital download here:

JessicaLynnOriginals.

I colored the image with ciao copic markers and cut it out.

The background is done with a Tim Holtz star stencil and

glitter pase. The sentiment is printed with the computer.

And when you print an image, I always print some more

incase I do not like the coloring. But  I did and used it to

make another card. This time the background is design

paper and also a sentiment made up with the computer.

Thank you for looking.

23 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - day 2

Welcome Caffinated Crafty Friends,

It is day 2 of the 

Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Today I have played with the image of Brentwood by

JessicaLynnOriginals.

Here is Brentwood Owl  and Highland Cow with their Santa hats.

I think they are having a great time together.

The sentiment I printed with the computer.

All is colored with ciao copic markers.

And here is another version. The image of Brentwood and 

Highland cow was printed smaller. This is the advantage of 

digital download images. You can print it in any size you

like for your card.

Thank you for looking.

Have a caffinated crafty day.

Cards for Jewish New Year

Dear Crafty Friends!

As always around this time of the year, 

I start with my cards for the Jewish New Year: Rosh Hashanah.

It is always on a different date for the Jewish calendar

is a moon calendar and this year the New Year starts

the evening of Friday 15th of September and 

is celebrated on the 16th and 17th too.

This year I use a freebie from my friend Paulette.

She has this fantastic site on Facebook for

Junk Journaling with lots of freebies,

that I use for making cards. You find her site HERE.

These are digital images, that you can print

in whatever size you like.

All over the world, Jewish people will celebrate

Rosh Hashanah, the start of a new year on the Jewish

Calendar, with wishes all around for a 

"happy and sweet new year"- signified by dipping

apples into honey, and greeting one another with

"Shanah Tovah", the Hebrew words for the greeting

meaning "A Good Year"!

So here are a few cards I made:

For the Background I used printed paper from 

Paulette's Ko-fi shop called Autumn Hues.

The sentiment is from Stampin'Up! from a set

called "Slices of Happiness".

Shapes are cut with scissors and glued to some gold paper

and also cut by hand with a little border all around.

For this card I used the same printed background, but 

added apples with a stencil (Funky Fossil).

The sentiment is printed with the computer.

Here you see the background panels adapted with 

the apples through the stencil.

The stencil is also perfect for decorating a matching envelop.

I added Nuvo white blizzard glitter drops on 

the honey jars. Made this close up picture, so you

can see how wonderful it makes the honey jar look.

For more ideas for card for Rosh Hashanah, please type

Rosh Hashanah or Jewish New Year in the search box

that you find on the right side of this blog.

I made many different cards, so lots of ideas.

Thank you so much for looking 

and have a creative caffinated day!

Caffinated Christmas Challenge July: STARS

 

Hello Caffinated Crafty Friends!

It is a very hot day in The Netherlands today, so to keep cool I sit in my craftroom with the airconditioner on making Christmas cards! The challenge this month is to add stars. You find the original post HERE.

For my card I used Tim Holtz stamps:

I used thecoffee mug from the  mini bluepint 9 CMS235.

I stamped it for the background and wmbossed it in white.

Colored the background next with Distress Oxide Ink Mowed Lawn.

The embossing powder resists the ink. I stamped one seprately and 

colored it with distress ink and a water pen. The star is from the 

mini blueprints 2 CMS146 and the square and sentiment is

from the new Note Quotes CMS463.

The Season Greetings is from Great Outdoors CMS321.

Small star punch for the stars on the cups.

I liked making this background so much,

that I was inspired to make my4th of July card likewise.

On the stars I added some Nuvo glitter drops.

Thank you very much for looking

and hope you have a wonderful Caffinated Summer!
