Club Scrap Paradise Blog Hop

Welcome to the monthly Club Scrap blog hop.

This month the kit is called Paradise.

I hope you have arrived here from

Jennifer's Blog

and seen her beautiful artwork.

If you happen to loose your way,

you can find all participants of the hop

on the Club Scrap Blog.

Here is  surprise for you...what's in the bag?

Yes, I started with making a bag from printing out

the leaves design from the digital Paradise kit

on copy paper. Not on the heavy cardstock.

This is not good for folding and wrapping is usually thrown away.

I found on Pinterest how to make the bag

and by looking at this picture it was easy

to copy how to make a bag.

For decoration I used one of the cut

aparts from the paper kit. The flowers are

punched out and a few gemstones are added.

Closing the bag with a bookclip from my stash.

I have been playing with food jars (I have lots!)

and that is what  had to be wrapped up.

I started with making a snowblobe.

Using two pictures and glueing them back to back.

I laminated the picture, leaving a bottom

of an extra half an inch.

The lid of the jar is decorated with a border from 

the cut aparts from the paper kit.

The leaves from the rubber stamps are stamped

with dark green ink and colored with a water brush.

The picture is cut in 3 parts. The middle part

folded to the back and the two outside bits towards the front.

I used hot glue to fasten the picture to the lid.

Before adding the picture I added some

gold glitter inside the jar.

Here the decoration I added on the fron of the jar.

I must say it works best with hot glue to stick

everything to the jar.

The other jar I used to make a hanging element.

Make a hole in the middle of the lid for the ribbon

and print a picture. Oh my there are those boys again!

The picture is decorated with flowers that

were cut out after stamping and fastned with little

yellow brads from my stash. Rolling the picture

and taping beginning and end together.

At the top make some cuts  for glueing it 

on the lid. Through the lid you see the ribbon

that holds one of the buttons that came with the kit.

This is so that the ribbon won't fall through.

On top the parrot ( I thought this is quite appropriate:

they make a lot of noise all together), leaves and

flowers. The jungle is here!

But these boys are a bliss too. Love them to bits!

My last project is a card. This kit has such

happy colors it is perfect for a birthday card.

I used this sketch challenge for November

 from a Dutch stampgroup.

And colored my imgages with watercolor and a paintbrush.

Also this card qualifies for the last day

of the 30 day color callenge for 

The Daily Marker Blog.

Do you see that fun pinapple washi tape? I found it

today and could not resist using it on my card.

The flowers are punched out .

Well, this was my contribution,

but there is more. Go over to

Pam's Blog

and see her vision of Paradise.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
