and colored it with my Stampin'Blends. The sentiment

is also by Bugaboo.

The cute houses design paper is from a 6x6 inch paper

block I have for ages. You know I have this box full

of blocks for Christmas and I will get them out this

of paper for the inside of the card.

Simon Says: Add a Number

Oh my, I can hardly believe it, but I was a winner 

at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:

Stars and Stripes.

You can see it here.

That does not mean I stop making cards for this blog.

Here is my new card for this weeks challenge:

"Add a Number" at

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog.

I wanted to make a Summer coffee card,

so I choose all happy volors and an iced tea image.

For my card I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder

and rubber stamp.

The inks are all distress oxide inks.

How to get ll these colors on your card?

Open the embossing folder and on the side that 

embosses the front of the card you add all colors of

ink BEFORE embossing. Add a few drops of water

and lay down the cardstock. Now run this through

the embossing machine and when you open

the folder you have this colorful card.

Now for all the details I stamped and colored

with the inks and Tim's stamps.

The number is a die by Stampin'Up!

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Happy Birthday America!

wonderful celebration.

Happy Birthday, Owen!

Today my first-born grandson Owen is already celebrating

his 7th birthday. I still remember the day he was born,

Now he is such a big boy: he can read, write and draw

beautifully. He swims, loves to help in the kitchen and

of course do games on his ipad. He is a very good

Pokémon player and loves everything about it, so

here is his card:

I found some digital Pokémon paper on Etsy

and printed this for the background.

The images are all from the internet and

cut out by hand. The letters of his name

are thinlits by Stampin'Up! and the

birthday sentiment is by Tim Holtz.

Here a close up of all the images.

He loved it that I got all the right ones!

This is the inside of the card.

Thank you foor looking

and have a creative day!

Simon Says: Stars and Stripes

Here is my entry for the challenge on:

Simon Says Monday Blog:

Stars and Stripes.

The American flag is a stamp by Tim Holtz

and done in two colors of distress oxide ink.

The sentiment is printed with the computer.

These coffee cups are a rubber stamp by

Michael Strong and colored with a waterbrush

and candied apple and broken china distress oxide ink.

The golden stars are cut out with a paper punch.

The background of this card is made with a stars 

embossing folder. I added the red and the blue ink

to the folder with a splash of water before adding 

the paper in the embossing folder. Gives a great

result after running it through the big shot.

The ribbon is by DL. ART (hand dyed ribbons)

and the sentiment is by Tim Holtz.

Thanks for looking

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.

and have a creative day!
