Club Scrap Blog Hop: Constellations

Where has the first month of 2015 gone?!

Here we are with anothe Club Scrap Blog Hop.

This month the name of the kit is:

CONSTELLATIONS

Hope you have arrived here from
Marya's Blog

and seen her wonderful project.

Just a note: if you happen to loose your way,

you find all the participants on the

Club Scrap Blog.

Here is my project:

It is a gatefold card with a surprise inside

For this card I started with a 8,5 x 11 inch piece of cardstock.

The finished card is 5,5 x 8,5 inch. Yes a large card.

The paper is  folded it outside in like this.

So when you close it, it looks like this.

For the inside of the card I cut two papers

of 5,25 x 8,25 inch

One of the two pieces can be a decorated piece of paper

and the other piece can be plain (black here).

The black paper needs to be scored at

0.25" and 4,25" leaving another 4"left.

Leave this on your table for later on,.

Now we are on to the decoration.

For decoration I used a calendar. Yes in January I alsways

make lots of calendar cards, this way my card is of use

for my friends the whole year round!

I found this free printable calendar here:

The finished panel looks like this.

Behind the calendar I added a piece of

constellation paper colored with ink with a blending tool

and added some shiny dots that came with the kit

to give it some bling.

Now here you see the construction of the inside

of the card:

Yes: inside the card is an easel construction!

So the 0.25" part of the black paper is glued to the 

card and the other part is folded in half.

On the lower part of the black paper you glue

the panel with the calendar.

The othe side looks like this.

But you know an easel card stands up.

For this you make some decoration

underneath the bottom part of the card

and your card looks like this:

I used the "wish"stencil that also came with the kit

and stamped a birthday sentiment from 

the unmounted greetings rubber stamps.

To make the card stand up I tied a ribbon on the top

of the wish with a button from my stash.

Now the card can stand behind the button.

Now we are nearly finished.

We just need something to keep the card closed.

I made a beld around the card by using the black paper

again. The strip is 2 x 12 inch.Just fold it around the

card for size and glue ends together. I used this map

on top for decoration,but you could also add a sentiment

on top. Colored with inkpad and blending tool

and some dots for extra bling.

Before sending you off to the next blog, I just  have

to share this card with you:

This card just popped into my head,

remembering the stencil and stamps I have from 

the set "A girls night out" that go perfectly

with the Consellation stamp sentiment for a wonderful

Valentine card. The sparkly stars are made with 

another fun stencil from the Sparkle kit with

a sparkly dot in the middle.

I started out this card with the stenciled girl

in ash and the smaller girlis stamped. I love it

when i can combine some of my older stamps and stencils!!

Ok, this is enough for today.I have a scrap page nearly finished,

bu for that you have to come back another day.

Now you will be in for more inspiration on
