Club Scrap Die Cutter's Blog Hop

Today me and my friends
- Club Scrap lovers -

want to show you what you can do with your

Club Scrap paper and one of the die cut machines.

I still have one of the first Cricut machines

( the smaller one)

and to be honest I don't do anything

spectacular with it. Mainly I use it for cutting

letters. I love all the alphabets.

Today I want to share with you a little booklet that was made

with the "Storybook" cardtridge.

I started  with cutting the pages for my booklet

at 5 1/2 inch with

using different colors of Club Scrap

Lotus Pond papers.

A total of 10 different pages were cut.

To make the outerpages a little more sturdy,

cut 2 pages out of grey bord by tracing

with a pencil

the ones you cut out with your machine.

Then cut them out.

Use bookbinding glue to adhere 2 pages: one to the front

and one to the back of the grey board.

Do the same  for the backpage.

Choose the pictures and print them.

I have a wonderful free program called

Picasa, where you can print in all sizes

and this time I choose to print them wallet size.

Back to the Cricut and the letters

for the front page were cut and on the edges

some ink was added.

Me and no stamps? No......!

So I got  the Lotus pond stamps out,

ink and my Karisma pencils.

When all pages are finished,

pile them together and punch a whole

and use a bookbinding ring to hold

them together. Decorate the ring

with ribbons and charms.

Here you see the result of it all:

Front page: cut out lettering, stamps

and ribbons. Extra charms: dragonfly and frog.

I chose the water lily theme because

my water lilies started to bloom yesterday and I just

remembered I have so many beautiful pictures

of them that I can use in a booklet.

Pictures, scrap background, stamps and a cut out form

that is stamped on.

Pictures and stamped images.

Pictures, stamped images and ribbon.

Fowers with Cricut, lettering with stencil,

pictures and stamped images.

And on the back of the booklet I used some text

printed with the computer. Stamped images, flower picture and brad.
