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!

Passover Blog Hop

Welcome  to a Stampin'Up! Passover blog hop.

A few of us Jewish SU! demonstrators got together

to share with you our creative ideas for Passover

that is around the corner. Did you allready get the matza?

Thinking od the menu? And how about decorating 

your table? Here are some of my ideas.

I hope you have arived here from Mirjam's Blog

and seen her wonderful projects. Hope you left her some love.

I have some table decoration and cards for you.

The moment I saw this beautiful Floral Boutique design 

paper, I knew i had to have it for Jewish cards. So I got the

whole set of matching dies and stamps, inks and cardstock.

Let's start with the floral table decoration.

I found on internet how to fold these flowers HERE.

And they are perfect for my table. I used square pieces of paper

of 4 x 4 inch to fold the flower.

After I finished the flower and glued the stick in the

middle. On to of the stick I added a sticky pearl

from the basic pearl jewels.

Now for the paper bag. Below You find the

folding template. You can do this with any size of paper,

that will fit around your jar (I jused an empty baby

food jar). For my paper bag I used an A4 size piece

of paper. Before folding it, I crupled it first for a used look.

Click on the template to see a larger version.

If you have done one, it gets easier. Try it with a piece

of copy paper first.

Now for the label. As Stampin'Up! has no Jewish words,

I typed those with my computer and used this fun 

free font called Bromello. For the word happy

I used the Tin of Cards word stamps to match

 the printed sentiment. The blue stamp you see

behind the words id from the Beautiful You stamp set.

Finishing of the card with more basic pearls.

Here you see my page with all the words I printed.

I left huge gaps, so I could add the

stamped words and easy to cut or punch out.

And now the cards:

For card #1 I used

Floral Bouquet designer paper

Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies

Star of David from Every Occasion stamp set

sentiment from Beautiful You stamp set

Basic sticky pearls

Night of Navy inkpad and cardstock

Card #2

same Floral Bouquet designer paper

Sentiment from Beautiful You

Petite petals punch

Glitter paper from SAB 

Solid Baker's twine Night of Navy

Night of Navy inkpad and cardstock

Mask that was available in the winter catalogue

Another card and pyramid name cards.

I always have fun name cards on my table and this year

I thought of doing these cute pyramids. You can use the 

Pyramid Pals Thinlits, but if you don't have those

you can use the template you see below. Maybe I will add

something fun inside for the kids around the table.

After cutting and folding the pyramid, I added the smallest

doily of the Metallic Foil Doilies. I love silver and blue

combo (but there is gold too!). On top of the doily there

is a 1 inch glitter circle from the paper that you could earn in the 

SAB period. Hope they come available in the new catalogue.

Now there is gold and silver still available here.

On top I used the banner from Number of Years

and the Star of David from Every Occasion stamp set

and a little basic pearl in the middle of the star.

And finally this card where the seder plate was the 

inspiration for my card.  I embossed the white background

with the softly falling embossing folder.

I used one of the larger metallic foil doilies and

cut it ino four to use for the corner decoration.

In the heart of the card I did the same with the

sentiment as on the paper bag. Around the middle sentiment

you see 6 1 inch punched out glitter paper circles.

Hope my blogpost gave you some inspiration.

No?! Need more? Well, see what 

Liz has in store for you on her blog.

Baby cards

Hebben jullie je Kerststempels al opgeborgen?

Ik hoop dat je de set Cookie Cutter Christmas nog even 

op tafel hebt liggen, want met het beertje in de set kun je

enige babykaarten maken. 

Have you put away your Christmas stamps?

I hope you left the Cookie Cutter stamp set out.

In this set there is this cute bear and just perfect for

making baby cards.

Ik wil de niet de gebruikelijke roze en blauwe kaarten maken.

Ik heb voor mijn kaart een andere kleur gekozen:

beertje gestempeld met mint macaron

papier is van A little foxy design papier block

sentiment van de set Made with Love

en de banner is van de set Number of Years.

Mooi lintje is de speciale ruched ribbon in de kleur

Flirty Flamingo.

I wanted to make not the usual pink and blue cards.

I stamped the bear in mint macaron.

The background is paper from A little foxy design paper

and the sentiment is from Made with Love.

I used the banner from Number of Years.

The ribbon is the ruched ribbon in Flirty Flamingo.

Het design papier wat ik voor deze kaart heb gebruikt,

komt uit een winter set papier genaamd Warm & Cheer 

Design Series Paper Stack. Ziet het er niet enig

uit voor een baby kaart?

The design paper for this card is from the

winter Warm & Cheer Design Series Paper Stack

and I think is great for baby cards too.

Hope you like my ideas.

Thanks for looking.

Hopelijk vind je deze kaarten inspirerend 

en bedankt voor het lagskomen.

Have  creative day!

Maak er een creatieve dag van.

Merry Mice

Will start this week with sharing some Christmas inspiration

with you with all the new sets from the winter catalogue.

 Today I start with the Merry Mice.

Vanaf deze week ga ik jullie wat kaarten laten zien met de

mooie nieuwe sets uit de winter catalogus.

Vandaag begin ik met de Merry Mice.

Isn't it a cute set?

Is het niet een schattige set?

So I started with stamping one of the images, cutting them out

with the Deco Labels Framelits (not avalable anymore) and

 start coloring for day 27 of the colorchallenge on The Daily Marker.

Dus ben ik begonnen met één van de muizen te stempelen

en uit the snijden met her Deco Label. Helaas is deze er niet meer,

er zijn nog genoeg andere framelits. Daarna met stift het plaatje

inkleuren voor dag 27 van de kleurenchallenge op

het Daily Marker Blog.

Here you see how I colord the mouse.

Hier zie je hoe ik het muisje heb ingekleurd.

For the sentiment I used the banner stamp and the framelit

from the set Number of Years.

Bij de tekst heb ik ook gebruik gemaakt van de banner

stempel en de bijpassende framelit van de set

Number of Years.

The background is made with one of the new embossing folders

called cable knit. it gives a wonderful impression.

Op de achtergrond heb ik de nieuwe embossingfolder cable knit

gebruikt. Deze geeft een prachtige impressie.

On the enveloppe I added a green impression of the 

same image that I have used for the card.

Hope you come back tomorrow for another

Merry Mice card.

Op de envelop heb ik in het groen nog dezefde muis

afgedrukt als die ik op de kaart heb gebruikt.

Hopelijk kom je morgen nog eens kijken naar

weer een andere kaart met deze Merry Mice set.

Thanks for looking and have a creative day.

Bedankt voor het kijken en heb een creatieve dag.

Geslaagd/ Graduation

Ja, de kinderen zijn met hun eindexamen bezig,dus heb

ik straks zeker wat kaarten voor  geslaagden nodig.

Yes,the kids are doing their final exams,so Iam sure I need some

graduation cards soon.

Ik ontdekte deze leuke kaarten met de nummers op pinterest

en heb er zo mijn eigen variatie opgemaakt.

I discovered this fun card with the numberson pinterest and

made my own variation.

Mijn eerste kaart is gemaakt voor de kleuren uitdaging op het 

Create with Connie and Mary Blog.

My first card is made for the color challenge on the 

Create with Connie and Mary Blog.

Ik heb gebruik gemaakt van de Number of years thinlits

en de stempelset CelebrateToday en ook een van de dies.

I used the dies from the Number of Years set and the stamps 

of Celebrate Today and also one little die.

Aangezien ik meerdere kaarten nodig heb (denk ik zo)

ben ik nog even verder gegaan met een paar andere kaarten.

Because I think I will need some more, I kept playing on.

Bij deze kaart hebik de cijfers uit de kaart gestanst

en er een papiertje achter geplakt.

For this card I cut the numbers into the card and

glued a paper from the back.

En deze kaart is met wat vrolijke papiertjes gemaakt.

In het cijfer 1 zie je een tekst die komt uit een Sele_A-Bration

set van vorig jaar Simply Wonderful.

And this card is made with some scrap paper from a block.

In the number one you see a text from last years 

Sale-A-Brations set Simply Wonderful.

Ik geef mijn kaarten ook op bij het D.L.ART Blog,

waar het thema is geslaagd.n ook voor het blog Stamping Royaly,

waar ook het thema geslaagd is SR#330.

Masking technik/ Masking technique

Dit is een kinder verjaardagskaart gemaakt met de set

Boys Will be Boys,die op de lijst van retired sets staat.

Ik heb deze kaart voor de uitdaging op het

 Just Add Ink Blog gemaakt.

Het thema is: masking.

This card is a boy's birthday card made with the set

Boys wil be Boys,tht is on the current  retired list.

I made this card for the challenge on the

 Just Add Ink Blog.

The theme is: masking.

Misschien heb je je altijd afgevraagd,hoe gaat dat nu 

met masking. Ik laat het je hier zien. 

Begin met het stempelen van een robot.

Maybe you have always wondered how this masking

works. Well, I will show you. Start with stamping

one robot images.

Vervolgens stempel je ook een robot op een stukje post-it

papier en knip hier de robot uit. Deze leg je dan over je

eerder gestempelde robot.

Next you also stamp the robot on a piece of post-it note

paper, then cut out the image and lay it on top of the first 

stamped robot image.

Stempel de tweede robot met het "masker"op de eerste

en wanneer je het papiertje weghaalt,ziet het er zo

uit. Ze staan echt naast elkaar. leg dan het "masker"

over de tweede robot ens stempel nummer drie er bij enz.

Stamp de second robot with the "mask"on the first image 

and when you take the mask of this is what it looks like.

They really stand together. Now add the mask to the second robot

and stamp the 3rd robot etc.

Toen alle robots op ee rij stonden, heb ik ze  gekleurd

met Tip Top Taupe inkt en een kwastje.

When all the robots are in the row, I colored them

 with a brush and tip top taupe ink.

Om de kaart af te maken heb ik de pons en de 

stempelset Balloon Celebration erbij gebruikt.

De tekst is wel van Boys will be Boys.

To finish the card I also used the ballons and punch

from the Balloon Celebration stamp set.

The sentiment is from Boys will be Boys.

Het getal 4 is uitgestanst met een thinlit van de

set Number of Years.

The number four is cut with a thinlit from the set

that goes with the Number of Years stamps.
