Club Scrap's Lock & Key Blog Hop

Welcome Lock & Key Blog Hoppers!

If you would like to start at the beginning, this blog hop originates from Club Scrap Creates. Today I simply have a greeting card that I enjoyed making using the Lock & Key Borders & Backgrounds Unmounted Stamps.

The card uses only two stamps, however I did stamp the swirl/script image twice so I could cut out the swirl portion to give the card a dimensional effect. After trimming out the swirl, I reattached it using foam squares.

I just can't get enough of the Lock & Key Stamps!
Enjoy the hop and thanks for stopping by.
Next on the hop is the talented Cathy at The Artful Gamut. Go check out the Lock & Key fun she has going on in her blog!

OWH World Card Making Day

Operation Write Home Friends,

Welcome to my stop on the hop. For those of you not familiar with Operation Write Home, check them out and join them in their mission to support our troops! Today is World Card Making Day and OWH is celebrating with this gigantic blog hop! 

I chose OWH Sketch #B-29 to model the background of my thank you card.

I used Club Scrap's fun Comics Unmounted Rubber Stamps for this card.  

This is how you do it . . . 

1. Stamp "thank you" inside the fun comic-style speech bubbles.

2. Stamp and color a background panel with your favorite colored pencils. 

3. Trim the text bubbles and attach to the card panel with foam adhesive.

The Comics Thanks Wood Mounted Stamp was the perfect touch for the inside of this card.

Enjoy the OWH Blog Hop with all the inspiration it offers! Thank you for stopping by!

Club Scrap's Take Wing Blog Hop

Hello Take Wing Blog Hoppers!
If you've hopped here from Hetty's great blog, you are in the right place!

Take Wing Club Stamp Project done using my own papers.

Most of you know by now that I'm rather enthusiastic about projects, and the Take Wing Club Stamp Flip Photo Easel is no exception. Maybe you've already seen the Stamp Rap including this month's project below:

I couldn't stop at just one. Here I've used the components from the kit with my own papers for a different look on the same project.

This fun Tribal stamp worked well for the open space below where the pages hang.

The project serves as a nice way to display pics and other fun stuff. The pages hang from the dual ring binder that serves the purpose perfectly. Of course the pages can easily be changed around anytime!

Time for me to go decorate more and more hanging pages!

Supplies used:

Thank you for stopping by! Your next stop on the hop is the talented Cathy at The Artful Gamut.

Enjoy!

August's Tribal Blog Hop Is Here

Greetings fellow Club Scrap Tribal Blog Hoppers!

I look forward to seeing the crafting done with August's Tribal Kit. The event begins at the Club Scrap Creates site. Hop over there if you want to start at the beginning. 

I'm enjoying the Tribal rubber stamps so much that I thought I'd design another Built-In Easel card. We've got some instructions for you on page 13 of the August Scrap Rap. For now I'm just going to let the pics do the talkin'. This time I made a 5x7" card.

Cut the horizontal slots to create a standing easel.

Tuck the strips into the slots.

The card has a greeting inside and lies flat for mailing.

Here is the 4-1/4x5-1/2" Built-In Easel card I made earlier this month.

Isn't that clever and easy? I hope you give it a try!

Next on the hop is Cathy at The Artful Gamet. Check out what cool things she is up to next! As always, thank you for stopping by and enjoy the Tribal blog hop.

Welcome Wisteria Blog Hoppers!

Greetings, Blog Hoppers!

It's time for the monthly Club Scrap Blog Hop, featuring the Wisteria Collection! The Hop starts at the Club Scrap Creates Blog, so be sure not to miss anything.

Handmade paper flower from Wisteria Paper 

The papers are so elegant and I'm in love with the color scheme, so I made a 12x12 layout featuring a few handmade paper flowers.

12x12 Layout created with Club Scrap's Wisteria Collection

Since the collection has a floral theme, and my featured photos we taken in a garden, the homemade flowers make a good embellishment.

A little bit about making these flowers:

Tear flower shapes in descending sizes from paper scraps. Curl up the edges.

Stack the layers and adhere with a dab of glue.

Don't forget to tear out some leaves.

Apply ink with foam applicator for a vintage dried-flower look.

Attach to the layout with additional dabs of glue.

Enjoy the rest of the Wisteria Hop!

Next, go check out what great things Cathy is up to at The Artful Gamut!

Wishing you a creative day, and thanks for stopping.

Personalized Handmade Music Box

Welcome Club Scrap Hopes Kit Blog Hoppers!!!

This blog hop originates from the Club Scrap Creates Blog, click HERE if you want to start from the beginning and hop along. Here is the project I created for today with the Hopes Club Stamp Kit, Musical Hope Chest, personalized with my dear daughter's photo.

I'm a huge fan of being part of the creative process when designing the Club Stamp Projects. While this kit comes complete with printed paper for wrapping the handmade music box, I used the paperless Components Kit now available! My own photo (printed on copy paper using a laser printer) and old book pages worked well for covering the box. I'll let the pictures do the talkin'. There are handy detailed instructions included in the kit, so I don't want to be too redundant.

Trim a 5x7 laser printed photo. 

Use a photo to cover the box lid.

Wrap old book pages onto the box base.

Rub brown acrylic paint to color the box base.

Install the music box mechanism.

Add a little paint onto the lid so it coordinates with the base.

After adding the lid, attach hardware and wooden legs.

Next on the hop is Cathy at The Artful Gamut. Stop by to check out what she is up to with the Hopes Kit! Enjoy hopping along!

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day!
