Mojo Monday 445: round version

Happy Saturday!

While I was making the square version of the

sketch, I already had an idea for the circle version!

You find all the details of this sketch challenge on

the Mojo Monday Blog.

For my card I used:

circle and scalloped die by spellbinder

sizzix coffee bean embossing folder

coffee ring scrap paper by Moxxie

coffee cup rubber stamp by Michael Strong

and sentiment by Create with TLC

On the sentiment I added a tiny silver spoon with glossy accent.

It was a little carm,but i cut off the ring on top.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

Mojo Monday 445

Today I looked at the Mojo Monday sketch

of this week and right away had an idea.

I chose to make the square card,but who knows,

I might give the round one a try to soon.

For the card I used Club Scrap Dahlia papers

and stamps:

In the kit i found a pre embossed piece of paper

and cut a 5 x 5 inch square piece and sprayd

this with purple distress ink.The lines of the flower

resisited the ink. I also splatteredsome waterdrops.

Next I used the matching stamp. Embossed this with black ink

and colored the flower with neon pink ink. Then cut out

the flower with scissors. 

The butterfly is cut out with a SU! die in black

and with a pencil I drew the outline on the orange

paper and cut it out and glued the two together.

The leaves are embossed in green and colored 

with neon green like I did with the flower.

Card for any occasion,

so I leave the sentiment for later.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

Club Scrap Dahlia Blog Hop

Welcom to the

Club Scrap

Dahlia Blog Hop.

I hope you arrived here from
Jennifer's Blog
and see what beautiful art she made.

If you happen to loose your way,
you can always go to the the main
Club Scrap Blog
and see all the participants.

I start here today with a scrap page that I made for
a scrap sketch  challenge on the
Sketch-n-scrap Blog.
Yes, all the flowers make fun pages for girls,
but I think this one is perfect for boys too!

Here is my page with all the elements that are found in

 the Club Scrap April Dahlia kit:

the circles are cut outs and the sentiment strip too. I used the washi tape

that came with this kit and

the ribbed kraft circles with the hemp that came with it too.

 The butterfly is cut out with a die and I made some
instructions on my blog last Monday.
See here for instructions.

On top of the butterfly  I used the circles

 that also came with this kit.

Now a friend of mine asked me for some cards

and so I started to work and made it into a gift.

A bag with 4 cards and matching enveloppes.

First I share with you how I made the bag:

1. I used the 12x12 inch paper with the 2 borders.

I started by cutting of one of the borders.

2. I glued this border on the backside of the paper 

where the other border was on the other side.

3.I used the score board and made lines at 3 and 9 inch

on the vertical side of the bag.

4. An horizontal at 3 an 5 inch (just under the border).

5. Now we strt the folding. We start with folding 

the top border to the front.

6.Turn your paper over and fold the sides towards

the middle.

7.Tape this down with scotch tape.

8.Fold the bottom upwards on the line

you made before on the score board.

9. Open the bottom fold and push thou outside inward 

to have the fold lines line up with the fold.

10.Fold top and bottom flaps towards the center

and tape themalso down with scotch tape.

11. Fold the edges of the bag to help to formthe

corner creases. Now you can open the bag and

form it into its shape.

Punch holes into the side of the bag and 

into the tags. 

Tie a ribbon through the holes to formthe handle.

The two tags are tied onto the handle. You can move 

themapart to write inside.

Now you can add th cards inside.

These are the cards that are inside the box.

This card is made with a piece of the decorated

paper from the kit. Hardly anything else is needed.

I decorated it with a pice of ribbon, a paper

flower from my stasch and a cut appart

and button from the kit.

This sympathy card is stamped with the flower from

the unmounted rubber stamps.It is colored with 

brown pencil and on top a little gold glitter

glue. The splatter is also stamped with one of the stamps 

fro this kit.

Here I used the flower as a border to this lovely sentiment

fromthis Dahlia kit. The flowers and butterfly are

colored with pencil.

The last card started off with sprinkling

a little tangerine color burst on the white

panel.After spraying it with water and drying it

I stamped the flowers on top. Added a little 

color with pencil to the flower

and some sequins for the bling of the card.

Ok, now just one more!

Thanks Club Scrap for always knowing

what we need! Today I need orange paper

for in The Netherlands it is Kingday

and here is a card with apicture my DD took

of us today: yes we wearing a lot of orange.

Background is the stamped flower in versamark and

embossed with clear embossing powder. 

Then sprayed with orange distressink.

Also stamped with the splatter stamp in black.

It is a very cold day today with rain on and off,

but we are having fun!

I used the buttens and the cut apart flower circles

as embellishments on the card. The Sentiment is by

Create with TLC.

Club Scrap Artist Team Challenge: Flowers and Butterflies

Welcome to the Club Scrap Artists Blog hop.

I hope you came over here from

Pam's Blog

and seen her beautiful inspiration.

For allthe participant see the 

main Club Scrap Blog.

So I sat down and started to think what to

do. I am from the easy techniques and 

then I found this wonderful idea on the

Simon Says Stamp Blog. The

watercoloring stencil technique.

You find the instructions here.

As I have lotsof flowery stencils I start to

make some backgrounds for my cards:

This technique is super quick and easy and you have a lot

of backgrounds in a jiffy!

And with these backgrounds I made the follow 3 cards:

For this card I stamped the butterflies from

This month's Dahlia kit twice. Once on the card and

once on vellum.I cut out the vellum and glued it

on the card. This way it looks more like a 

fluttering butterfly.

The sentiment on the card is from the

Club Scrap Trees kit.

Here a close up of the layers.

The 2nd card is made with a punched out butterflies

and a sentiment from the Dahlia kit.

I love using my scraps from older kits,so here

you see all the butterflies I cut out with a die

from Tim Holtz.

Then I folded them all in half and glued them 

together. Starting with the blue one and then on each

side 2 green ones and ending up with a blue one.

The last blue ones are glued to the card and added

a premade antenna frommy stash.

For card number 3 I used a Club Scrap butterfly

stencil from the Papillon kit and so is the birthday

sentiment.

First I colored the butterfly with dark brown and then

I used a marker to draw the outline of the butterfly.

For the body I used a piece of left over paper from

cutting the card and made this paper bead out of it.

The bead is fasten with a piece of scrappers floss.

Finishing of the card with a few sequins from my stash.

Well, I hope I have given you some ideas to play,

if not, go and see what 

Jennifer has come up with for youon her blog.

Thank you forlooking.

Have a creative day!
