Club Scrap & Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: Garden Shed

Welcome to another
Club Scrap Blog Hop.
Today we present to you projects made with
the September Garden Shed kit.

I hope you came over here from
Jennifer's Blog
and seen her beautiful project.

My project for a teabagholder was inspired by this

painting. It has the colors of the kit, the tea and the apples.

Why the apples?  Well, coming Sunday it is Jewish New Year

(Rosh Hashanah) and one of the symbols on the table is an apple.

We eat a sweet apple with honey and wish each other a very

happy and sweet New Year.

Inside this teabagholder you find pockets for teabags and of

course I added bags of apple tea. 

This teabagholder is easy to make. You need a piece of

cardstof of 7 x 8,5 inch and score it at 4 and 4,5 inch.

For the pockets you need 3 pieces of 4 x 6 1/4 inch of cardstock,

the same as the main paper of the holder. All 3 opieces are scored at 

3,5 inch horizontal and 0,5 inch on both vertical sides. At the 

3,5 line you snip these V-shapes for easy folding.

I used a corner rounder on the longer side and a circle punch

on the shorter side as it makes it easier to add and get the teabag.

Before adding any decoration add a ribbon to the outside of the

holder at 3,5 inch horizontally (middle of the holder).

Now we go to the the decorations. 

You can make these as eleborate as you want. 

The paper for the front of the book is a part  one of the decorated

12x12 inch of scrappapers from the kit. I added more color to the apples 

with color pencil. The apple is a woodsie, that I firstly colored

white with gesso. Next I used a honecomb template, one of the

words from the stencil that was with the kit. The bee is printed from the 

digital Garden Shed kit. The Jewish sentiment is Shana Tova, meaning

a "Good Year". 

The background paper here is a print with apples from

the digital kit . The picture is a fun picture I took

for this project. The beehive is one of the rubber stamps

and symbolizes of course the honey thatis eaten.

The woodsie with Happy New Year is part of the Happy Birthday

stamp and a handwritten New Year.

On the right side you find the 3 pockets which

are decorated with the same paper as on the left side from the 

digital kit. The sentiment here is from an older Club Scrap kit

called Infusion, which is all about tea. The cups are die cut

with a Verve Stamps die set.

For decoration I used the little bee stamp from the 

rubber stamps with the Garden Shed kit.

This is the back of the holder...empty. A place to write

some good wishes for the receiver.
