Club Scrap Febuary Blog Hop: Succulents

Welcome to our monthly blog hop

and I hope you have arrived here from 

Jennifers Blog

and seen her wonderful eye candy.

If you loose your way in the hop, you

can always find all the participants on the

Club Scrap's Blog.

The kit for Febuary is called Succulents:

Here you see the colors of the kit and how many 

scrapbook pages you can make out of it if you

use the ALSB (assemblyline scrapbook) method.

Online you can download all the instructions and

cut as is written there to get all the pages.

So here is one of the pages (if you look at the 

instructions it is layout 3). My dh and I went to a spa

2 weeks ago. We got this as a present from his work.

He worked there for 40 years. We had a great time!

I handlettered this on the paper and it says exactly

how we felt. 

Not only is the paper great for scrapbook pages,

it is also wonderful for making cards. The kit

also comes with a great set of rubber stamps.

Visit the Club Scrap store and have a look at the

Jumbo, Art Nouveau and Greetings unmounted

rubber stamps.

For my card I used the Jumbo stamps. This kind of

card is called a center step card and there are instructions

all over the web. I do have the template here for you:

Cut and fold as the template shows and you get

this free standing card with a platform in the

center that is perfect for decorations.

As this kit is ful of plants, of cource this card

gets a pot with one of the succulents and when 

you pull the plant out of the pot it has a sentiment

stamped on the card inside the pot.

And now for my cutest project:

If you have been following my blog, you

might have seen these food jars also for 

Valentine. I was inspired after seeing

this project on the blog of Tim Holtz.

I made love jars for my daughters and my husband,

but the suddenly I got this idea with the 

succulent inside the jar.

And with some perfect pictures of 

the twins I got to work.  

So cleaning the jar, spraying the lid gold

and having a handy husband to make the

hole in the lid and find the right hardware

in the garage (he alsways has the right stuff I need).

Inside the jar I made a tiny flowerpot with

the dark red paper. Inside there is some quick

drying clay in wich  I added the succulent

(it is not a real one). Around it I added a few 

tiny grey stones for balance. Around the jar

I added one of the cutaparts that I stamped

with red and the word love. I used double sided

tape to glue this strip to the jar.

For my card I used one of the photo mats

that came with the kit and folded it in half.

For decoration I used parts from the

cutaparts that also come with the kit

as well as a bag of buttons.

You find the cut aparts here.

Here is the card from the inside.

All the sentiments are just perfect. Club scrap

always knows what I need!

And finally I have a box for you.

I found a video tutorial and

thought this is perfect for this paper.

I love the shape! Great gift box.

You need your envelop punchboard./

You find the turorial here:

It is a great box for a little sweet gift.
