Rosh Hashanah Blog Hop

As the Jewish New Year is 

around the corner

on September 10 and 11 some of us 

Jewish Stampin'Up! demos

 have come together to make this blog hop for you

to get inspired for your diy New Year cards

 with Stampin'Up! Products.

I hope you have arrived here from 

Lulu's Crafty Stamping Blog

and I hope you got some inspiration from her wonderful ideas.

Here are two cards I made with two sets:

Picked for you (apple)

and Jars of Love (honey jar)

Why apple and honey? It is a tradition to eat a piece of apple

dipped in honey and wish each other a very happy and sweet

New Year.

For my card I  used the Tea Room Special Design Serie Papers.

One of the designs is this one with the bees. Perfect to combine

with the honey jar. Behind the honey jar you see onw of the

Colored Doilies (they come in a package with several colors).

For decoration I used a ribbon and adhesive sequins.

For stamping the apples I have used a variety 

of colors. Some old and some new inkpads.

The sentiment Happy Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew 

meaning Head of the Year, so New Year) is a sentiment 

from an old and much loved  Jewish stamp set called

Mazel Tov.

For the 2nd card I used anothe piece of paper from the same

Tea Room set. The little bees are from the set A Little Wild.

After stamping the jars I colored them with these

wonderful stampin'blend markers and cutting them out.

Here a close up to see the sentiment with the little bees

and the beautiful background paper.

Now on to my next project:

Decorated candle glasses.

With the Tea Room Special Design Serie papers I covered the glass.

I used the same papers as on the cards. The fun  thing with these

jars is that inside the jar you see the other side of the paper

and this gives a beautiful extra dimention.

Underneath the candles I made these apple coasters.

I found some crochet patterns online, but mainly it is just 

making a white circle with a red border.
There is one HERE.

I cut the oval shap with one of the Stiched Framelits Dies.

The bees are stamped on the oval shape and colored with

pencil before adding the apple with a piece of

foam adhesive strip. The Hebrew sentiment

is one from my stash and meaning a Good Year!

For the 2nd jar you see inside the little tea spoon 

part of the paper. Fun, because sometime you use a spoon 

to add honey to the apple. Around both glasses I added 

some ribbon to keep the paper tight to the glass

and also for decoration.

Now for more ideas hop over to

Thank you for looking

L'Shana Tova - Happy New Year!

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!

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.
