Club Scrap Cape Cod Blog Hop

WELCOME

to another wonderful

CLUB SCRAP

blog hop.

 

This time we present to you

the May kit called "Cape Cod",

and honestly this is going to be another

of my favorite kits! The designers at

Club Scrap keep on amazing me:

I have too many favorite kits :-)

 

I hope you have arrived her from

Tricia's blog, with her wonderful ideas

of using the kit in the most efficient way.

I start with sharing one of the ALSB pages (#7)

of this kit. Have you never tried ALSB: assembly

line scrapbooking? It is the best way of using

the papers that come with you kit in the most

effective way. You get 13 wonderful pages out

of one pizzabox. You find all of the

ALSB instructions here:

On to some cards!

I have found lately that

pop up cards seem to be in fasion

and there are many dies for fancy

cards you can buy, but how about

the easy way, no die needed!

You know I go for the

easy to make cards. Here are

some instructions:

 

You need one piece of 12x12 inch

scrapbook paper. I used the

light blue print paper of this kit.

Some cut outs, and stamps.

Ruler, spencil, scissors

and glue or double sided tape.

 

If you click on these instructions,

they are easier to read.

 

1. Cut your 12x12 inch paper in 3 strips of 4"x 12"

 

2. fold them all in half.

 

3. For the pop up card you need 2 pieces.

So you have one piece left for another card.

 

4. Take one of the folded pieces and your pencil

and ruler. Now fold the card close and

measure 3/4" from both outsides and mark

on the folded side of the card.

5. Cut one inch towards the inside of the card.

 

6. Open the card and fold the just

cut part towards the inside of the card.

Now you have a little platform

where you can stick you image to pop up.

The card looks like this now:

7. The second piece of folded

4"x 12" is the outside of the card

to cover up the part where you have made the cut.

 

Now here is my finished card:

This is the front of the card,

with ribbon and a piece cut

from the designed scrap paper.

I added a few sticky pearls from my stash.

Now to fold open the card and

see what is inside.

 

This is the inside of the card.

I stamped the top part of the inside with

the rubber stamps and on  the bottom I

used the stencil that came with the kit.

The lighthouse is from one of the

 8,5"x11" papers. I hope you

see how easy it is to make this card.

 And from the left over 4"x 12"

strip I made another easy card :

Outside I used a cut out

and a stamped image

and the left over part of the cut out

you find inside of the card.
