Club Scrap April blog hop: Cherry Blossom

Welcome to our monthly Club Scrap blog hop.

This month we show case the Cherry Blossom kit.

    On the

                                        Club Scrap Blog 

you can find

           all the participants of this blog hop,
but I hope 

you have arrived here from

Jennifer's Blog
and enjoyed seeing her beautiful work.

I thought with Mother's Day, birthdays or just visiting a friend

these choclate boxes would be a nice gift idea.

You need a 3,5 x 10 inch piece of cardstock

and some chocolate sticks (it holds 4 of them).

 

Here is the template of the box.

Click on it and you get a larger version

so you can see the sizes better.

Use a score-board and scissors

and a paper punch of die of any shape you like.

This here is a Stampin'Up! punch.

Before folding and glueing the box it is best to

decorate first.

Box 1 has a panel from the design paper

and a stamped and cut out parasol, tiny sequin flower

and a stamped sentiment.

Inside also the same design paper and a few of the

cute flower stickers that came with the kit.

Two more stamped parasols.

Used a piece of velcro for closing.

Box 2: I stamped the complete outside with

the cherry blossom stamp and colored them with

a pink aquarel pencil. Used a tiny flower stamp

and fuchsia ink for more stamping.

Stamped sentiment and tiny flowers made with

aflower punch and sequins.

Used a ribbon (taped to the back) for closing.

 The stamping was more than enough for decorating
the inside.

Box 3: Background and inside panel is stamped with the kanji

text and some open flowers. Next I used the tag that came

with the kit and added all the flowers in the holes of the bottom.

Flowers are made with a punched out flower and the sequins.

Used the ribbon for closing diagonally.

Inside the box I added a few of the flower stickers.

And here some scrapbooking!

I looked ad the ALSB file of this kit and picked one

that was good for my pictures and adapted a little.

Left page: I added these crane birds from Michael Strong 

on my page. I stamped these on the silver vellum kind of

paper and embossed them with black embossing powder.

 They look perfect in place with the cherry blossm branch.

Right page: text printed with the computer,
another smaller crane and the ribbon is stapled
behined the picture.

You can never have enough inspiration, so
please go and visit

Thank you for looking
