Club Scrap Up Up Away Blog Hop

 Welcome to the first

 monthly

CLUB SCRAP

Blog Hop.

I hope you have arrived here

from the wonderful blog of

Tricia Morris

and enjoyed her beautiful

projects.

The kit of this month is called

Up, Up & Away

and has beautiful pink, white and turquoise papers

and stamps with a balloon theme.

To inspire you as what to do with

these papers I have made a scrap page

and some cards.

 

This page is made for the

Weekly Chronicles. A feature on the

Club Scrap community forum

where some of us make a scrappage

each week on a given theme.

(if you click on the photo, you

can see a larger version and read the text)

 

Here a close up on the embellishment on this page.

It is made with a cloud embossing folder and

one of the hot air balloon stamps

For the stamp I used a multicolor inkpad

and embossed it with clear embossing powder.

Some clouds are cut out of the embossed

paper and added on top with a piece

of foam tape for more effect.

 

And now for some cards.

I have chosen to make some cards that

fit the PSL theme

(Pro Scrapbook League)

of "create a curve".

All info about PSL can be found here:

I went to my favourite Technique Junkies

and found these techniques:

1. Collages Circles Sept 2011

2. Punched Windows Aug 2009

3. Circle Colored Collage June 2012

 

If you are a member of TJ you can

see the photo turorials of these techniques.

 

1. Collage Circles

Great technique to use up all

those scraps you have lying around. Just

punch out a lot of circles, the do not have to be

all the same size like I did here. You can

glue them nice and tidy or ad random on

a backround panel for your card.

Here you see my finished card.

Yes, nice and easy. For you want to

make a lot of cards for PSL.

 

 2. Punched Windows

For this technique you also need your circle punch

First you stamp on your card random images.

Punch out a few windows.

As many windows you stamp your image

on a seperate puiece of paper and cut it out

to lay behind the punched window.

 

Finish your card with a contrasting color

behind the windows. This is one panel

(here the red one).

BTW the left over circles can be used in

the first technique!

 

 3. Circle Colored Collage

Another quick and easy technique.

Here you need a circle stamp (Wings July 2005)

and a few colors of ink.

You can do this 2 ways:

a.(left) first stamp your big image in black

then take the circle stamp and cover the

background with the circles.

 

b. (right) Stamp the background first with

all the circles in different colors.

Dry with heatgun. Now stamp large

image in black and you can even emboss

it in black if you like.

 

All my other project for the Pro Scrapbook League

you will find in the Art Gallery at Club Scrap.
