Coffee Lovers Winter blog hop last day

On the last day of the 

Coffee Lovers Winter blog hop

I have a cup of cheer for you.

For this  card I used all the scraps of papers I used 

for my own Christmas cards and from the coffee

cards. I pieced all the papers together and this  is

the result.

The sentiment is from the coffe set called Merry Café.

Here you see how I added all the pieces together,

it was u fun puzzle to make.

Thank you all for looking and 

hope you all have 

a Merry Christmas

and a latte fun New Year!

Coffee Lovers Winter blog hop day 6

Welcome to day 6 of the 

Winter Coffee Lovers bloghop.

Make a Winter themed card with coffee/tea/cocoa and

link your post to the main blog and you have a chance of

winning one of the many prizes given by some wonderful 

sponsors to the hop.

Today is the first day of Hanukkah and so I  came up with this 

fun coffee gift bag with chocolate M&M's inside.

There is also a Christmas version on my other blog HERE.

These bags start out with cutting the large cup from the

Coffee Café thinlit set. I choose two colors of blue

and contrasting sleeves.

To decorate the sleeves I added a silver ribbon and next

 I cut a scalop silver circle and added the silver embossed 

stamped image on top. These images are from some older sets.

Then cut out and added with foam tape to the silver circle.

You see a little box between both cups for adding the 

goodies. For this little box you need a piece of paper

of  3,5 x 4 3/4 inch and you score the short side

at 3/8 - 1 1/8 - 2 3/8 - 3 1/8 inch. For the long side you

score at 2 an 2 3/4 inch.

When you finisch adding the box, you can add a

handle to the box. I had a strip of 9 x 6/8 inch and

glue this to the left and right side of the box.

I used the tiny cup die to make little tags for the 

boxes and to write the wish on it. Attached

with a piece of baker's twine.

Wishing all my Jewish stamping friends and my

coffee/tea/cocoa friends

Thank you for looking

and have a latte creative day!

Hanukkah Blog Hop

Welcome to the Hanukkah Blog Hop

organized by a bunch of Jewish Stampin'Up! demo's.

We like to share our ideas for Hannukah with you.

I hope you have arrived here from 

Miriam's Blog

and seen her beautiful artwork.

I have two cards and a little treat box. for you.

For my projects I used the following sets:

Seasonal Lantern stamp set and matching 

Lantern Builder Framelits from the Winter catalgue

So here is te template of the sweater if you like to

case my card.

I started with stamping the candleholder with night of navy ink

on the lighter blue paper. Coloring the candles with

a white pen and the flames with the new markers.

Then I cut out the image and I put it on the sweater

(cut out from navy night paper) abd traced the image with 

a white pen so it looked like stitches. I also

drew the borders of the sweater by hand. Now it is time

to roll the sweater through the bigshot with

the cable knit folder. When done attache the

candle holder abd stick the sweater to your card.

To be honest I started out making this card.

Then I realized the T-shirt and framelit where

from an older catalogue (summer 2016) and 

not in in this years  the main catalgue,

 but I still wanted to share this card with you.

And here is the treat box. Below you find the template for 

scoring and cutting. I used the same materials as for the card.

It is really a very easy box to make.

I used the label punch  for the window,

but you can also make an oval or 

circle window if you like. It depends on what 

you have too.

This little box holds 3 small bard of chocolate.

The doves also come from the Seasonal Lantern

stamp set.

I want to contribute my card

to this weeks color challenge at

The Color Throwdown Blog.

And now it is time to move to the next blog.

Go and see what 

Lady-Ann's Blog

has in store for you.

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: day 6

Here are my cards for day 6 of the

Fall Coffee lovers Blog Hop

and this time I played with the wonderful

coffee  set by Stampin'Up!

called Coffee Café.

It comes also with a set of thinlits,

wonderful papers and matching ribbons.

You can see all the products here.

For this card I used the design paper

in the background and the steam is made with

with thinlits from an older set called Swirly Scribles

(not available anymore). I used the leaves

from this set as well. 

I had some great helpers when I had to use

my big shot to cut out to coffee cup with

the thinlits.

For my second card I also used the 

You've got Style stamp set (see here).

I think this old lady is so much fun to use.

She is colored with pencil and cut out with

 scissors. The cup is decorated with the

leaves that are punched out with the leaf

punch that you can find in the new 

autumn/winter catalogue.

Design paper from the Coffee Café in

the background.

Thank you for looking and

have a latte creative day!

Rosh Hashanah 2017/ Jewish New Year

As the Jewish New Year is around the corner

on September 21 and 22 some of us Jewish Stampin'Up!

demos have come together to make this blog hop for you

to get inspired for diy New Year cards. So get  inspired!

I hope you have arrived here from 

Debbie's Blog

and were surprised by her wonderful ideas.

So I have 3 cards for you today.

These cards are all totally different

and not the usual New Year cards.

For card #1 I used the dies of the Number of Years set

to make up the Jewish year. The paper in the background

is from the new coffee set and the apples are punched out

with the Tree Builder punch. The sentiment is from a

very old Stampin'Up! set.

The sentiment is cut out with the oval die from the

stiched shapes framelits set.

Card #2 is my favorite. When I saw this new

I've got Style stampset it made be think about an old

record I have called "You don't have to be Jewish".

A fun recored with Jewish cabaret pieces, hilarious.

This woman makes me think of these typical Jewish old ladies.

I colored the image with watercolor pencils.

The paper is from the Bundele of Love Designers 

Series papers.The top sentiment is from my stash.

The flowers - gold embossed with a sticky pearl -

is from the beautiful Colorful Seasons set.

Card #3 has to do with my coffee addiction.

I am so happy with the new coffee set in the

main catalogue and now there is Merry Café

in the Seasonal catalogue as well.

The leaves of the apple are made with the Lemon

builder punch and the apple is the circle from 

the Swirly Bird set. 

I was thinking of coffee and honey cake

and that made me think of the stamp on the 

A little Wild stempset: the beehive and the bees,

making the honey for my cake!

For more ideas

please hop over to 

Pascale's Blog

and see what she has come up with.

Wishing you all a year of

health and happiness

and may there be a little bit more Peace.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Colorful Seasons

Ja heerlijk stempelen met mijn nieuwe stempels

uit de nieuwe catalogus van Stampin'Up! 2017-2018.

Yes, it is wonderful to stamp with my new stamps from

the new Stampin'Up! catalogue 2017-2018.

Deze week wil ik jullie laten zien wat een geweldig

leuke set de Colorful Seasons is. Nu met het mooie

weerkun je prachtig bijpassende kaarten maken.

This week I want to share with you cards made with

the Colorful Seasons set. With the lovely weather outside

you can make great matching cards.

Vandaag een eenvoudige elegante kaart met een achtergrond

van inkt en een sentiment gestempeld. Je noemt dat de 

watercolor smoosh technique. Je doet wat inkt van je inktkussen 

op een acryl sheet, spuit wat water erop en dep het op je kaart.

Today I made a simple, but elegant card with a inky background

and a lovely sentiment. For the background you just add ink

to an acrylic sheet and ad a few drops of water. Now dab this on 

your card. This is caled the Watercolor Smoosh technique.

Bij deze set hoort ook een set van thinlits, 

de Seasonal Layers. Deze heb ik gebruikt om de

stoelen uit te snijden die je op deze kaart zie.

Over deze set is er een video gemaakt die je

hieronder kan zien.

For this set there is also a set of thinlits called

Seasonal Layers. With this set I cut the lovely chairs

to go on this card. There is a lovely video made

about this set that you can see below.

Mocht je deze set willen aanschaffen,

stuur me een mailtje, dan bestel ik hem voor je.

Geniet van het mooie weer en maak 

er een creatieve dag van!

Enjoy the beautiful weather

and have a creative day!
