Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: day 8 (last)-part two.

This is really my last post for the

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

I had to use the wonderful stamp set from

 Verve Stamps and do the sketch challenge.

You find the Coffee Please stampset HERE.

It is a digital download set.

You vind all about the sketch challenge on the

Viva La Verve blog.

I printed out the pdf with all the images and 

when i started cutting paper and cups, I suddenly

had enoug to make 2 cards. So this is card #1

with design paper in the background and baker's

twine around the back panel.

Now for the image added the cup later after I had stamped 

the coffee steam and embossed it in gold. The cup is

colored with pencil and covered with glossy accent

to make it look like a real cup.

For card #2 I created a ribbon out of the cups.

These cups are also colored with pencil.

Some different designers papers in the background.

Thanks for looking

and have a latte creative day!

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: day 8 (last)

On the last day of the 

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

I have some gift ideas for you.

The first idea is the candles.

I bought the glasses in the $$ store with the

candles as well.

The are cinemon smelling candles. I added some coffee

beans inside the glass and laid the candle in there.

It is already smelling great!

I decorated the glasses with a ribbon (D.L.ART)

and a bottle cap with a Create with TLC image.

Both images are colored with pencil, glued into the 

bottle cap and covered with an acrylic circle that

came with the bottle cap.

Then i also found these cute little notebooks

and I knew I wanted to decorate them for

th Coffee blog Hop.

All stamped images are by Tim Holtz

and i watercolored them with distress ink.

The leaves are pinched out and in the back

it is some design paper from my stash.

Here more Tim Holtz stamps and punched out leaves.

The piece of wood you see tucked away is my

new special Tim Holtz stamp i got from Simon Says Stamp

that i ordered just before the hop and came yesterday. 

I just had to use it!

This was a great hop, thanks for all the inspiration everyone

and thanks Amy and her team for all the work and thanks to

all the sponsors who make it even more worthwhile to play along.

Thanks everyone who stopped by and left comments.

Hope you all have a latte creative day!

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: day 7: gift

Here a new project for the 

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

I work at a flower wrapping company and we make

sleeves for flower bouquets and boxes for plants.

So i got the idea to decorate a small box with coffeebeans

and make it into a gift box. With the help of one of the 

designers we came up with these two boxes.

If you like to have the template let me know in the

comment box.

Here you see the template flat and folded.

It is a square box of 3x3x3 inch.

Inside the box I added some chocolates

to go with some coffee.

The image on both boxes is by 

Newton's Nook Designs

and the set is called Newton Loves Coffee.

Behind each cat there is a cut out circle

and a few punched out leaves.

The images are colored with pencil

and cut out by hand.

This sentiment is from another company.

It is from Thanks a Latte by Your Next Stamp.

Inside there is a bag of goodies!

Thanks for looking

and have a latte creative day!

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop{ day 6: Jewish New Year

Tonight  the Jewish New Year is celebrated

and of course we have special food on

the table. Not only we eat a sweet apple

with honey to wish each other a very happy 

and sweet year, but other food is also special.

Today I made a coffee/honeycake for desert.

You can find the recipe HERE.

Of course I made a matching tag for the 

Fall Coffeelovers Blog Hop.

I colored the background with oxide distress ink

and stamped my Club Scrap splatter 

and coffee ring stamp before embossing 

the tag.

The sentiment is by Create with TLC.

And the cup is a die by Tim Holtz.

I printed a piece of paper with stars of david

for cutting the cup. The apple is an old stamp

by Posh Impressions.

I wish you could smell my kitchen!

Thank you for looking

and have a latte creative day!

Happy Jewish New Year/ Shana Tova

Happy New Year 

to all my family and Jewish friends all

over the world! Hope this is going to be a fabulous year

for all of you!

Rosh Hashanah/ Jewish New Year:

2017 21/22 September all info here.

And here the inside of the card.

(thank you Susan Erickson for your inspiration!)

I found a tutorial of this book card here.

This year I also made some cards with my grandsons

We used real apples and acrylic paint to stamp with.

The all made an A4 size piece of paper

full of stamped apples.

When all was dry Owen, the eldest (5 yr) used some different

Jewish stamps and black ink to make the apple collage

complete. We cut it all up in card size pieces and mounted

these panels to cards.

This is Owen's card.

Busy making cards and showing the result.

Left Colin and right Aiden's card.

May the year be very sweet for all of you!

Club Scrap Artist Team and Fall Coffeelovers Blog Hop day 5

Welcome to the 

Club Scrap 

Artist Team blog hop

and we feature "watercolor" ideas.

I hope you have arrived here from 

Jennifer's Blog

and seen her wonderful artwork.

If not you find all the participants on the

Club Scrap Blog.

I have many things going on this week and 

a few quick backgrounds foir my cards would be great.

I love to watercolor with my embossing folders.

You need an embossingfolder

some watercolor paper

and a few colors of ink.

On one side you put the watercolor paper

ad on the other side add the inks and a few

drops of water.

Close the embossing folder and

run it through the embossing machine.

When opening the folder you not only have

the folers impression, but also a beautiful

watercolor look to it.

Here are the three backgrounds I made for my cards.

This is the finished first card.

I used Club Scraps Orchard papers and 

fruit stamps. The sentiment is from 

another kit (2014 June Picknick).

I also use a honecomb diecut to reveal

the background color of the card.

The card came to mind after I went with the

kids and grandkids to an orchard nearby to

pick apples and pears.

For the crate I used a thinlit from Stampin'Up!

and the stencil from the orchard kit to give

the paper a wooden look.

The second card is made for the 

Jewish New Year. The apple is a symbol 

we use on cards, because we eat a sweet apple 

with honey to  wish each other

 a very sweet new year.

The sentiment is an old one from my stash,

The apple is colored with some ink direct from

the craft sheet with a few drops of water.

Before adding the apples and sentiment, i sprayed a little gold

on the card to make it extra special. Hope you can see it.

Now for the last card, I just had to make a coffee

card, for I am playing in the Fall Coffeelovers Blog Hop.

All materials are Club Scrap Orchard kit

even the bottle cap that came with this kit.

The sentiment inside is from the Club Scrap

stampset Coffee Break. The leaves behind

the bottle cap are punched out of an orange colored

 nesspresso pod.

Now for some more inspiration hop over to

Pam's Blog

and see what she has made to share with you.
