Club Scrap Blog Hop: Big Deal

Hello!

You have arrived at Club Scrap's monthly blog hop

from Tricia's Efficient Crafter's blog

to show you what you can make with the papers

and stamps that arrive with the Club Scrap kit.

This month it is Big Deal:

It is all about cards and games.

But the first thing I made is a birthday card,

for today my youngest daughter has her 23rd birthday.

Happy Birthday, 

dear Zora,

I hope you have a wonderful day!

and of course i made a scrap page too. 

Sharing the picture I made yesterday,when I posted

Zora's birthday card with him and hopefully it arrives in time

(ps Zora,it is not this one ....)

The card is 5,5 x 4 1/4 inch from the 

yellow paper I had left from the scrapbook page below.

And for the background I stamped with Club Scrap

topaz ink and the card stamp from the Greetings

UM stamps (as well as the sentiment). By turning the stamp 

several ways I created a background.

The card is also a stamp, but from UM Borders

& Backgrounds. I used a cirle spellbinder to create

the opening for the picture. The crown is embossed

in silver and is from the Art Nouveau stamp sheet.

I just love to see the difference from when

she was young and how she is now.

The numbers I cut out of the

bingo unmounted stamps.

As for my project:

I love the gift box we have made at the

Retreat last year and as my MIL plays

bridge at least 3 times a week,I wanted to make

her a gift box with cards for her bridge -friends.

I made 4 cards and 6 little cards (for she never goes

without a little gift for the hostess and these gift

cards are easy to attach).

This is the finished box with all the cards.

So I choose some papers for the cards and the

gift tags first and cut them all to size.

I decided to make some easy stamped cards,no difficult

stamping techniques.

Here are the cads:

On the left card I used the bingo stamp from the UM art nouveau

sheet on the background and on the front. 

On the right card I used a queen playcard embossing folder

as a background. I used a blending toolwith topaz ink to

color the raised part of the paper.

All 4 large cards are 5,5 x 4 1/4 inch.

This background stamp on both cards is from the UM Big Deal

stampsheet and stamped in india black ink.

I used some red ribbons from my stash for a

little more color.

Here the gift tags:

All the gift cards are 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch.

I used some small wooden stamps fromvintage kits

as sentiments. The big heart stamp is from the

UM Big Deal sheet.

For the background of these cards I stamped  the collage

stamp from the art nouveay sheet with versamark

and white embossing powder.

After heating it the background is colored with ash and 

topaz ink. The white embossing powder works as a resist

and gives a great background.

Tied the cards with enveloppes together

with a red ribbon and my gift set is ready.
