Club Scrap Cantina Blog Hop

Welcome to the monthly Club Scrap Blog hop.

I hope you have come over from

Deb Weller

and seen her awesome project.

This Cantina kit is such a wonderful kti

full of happy colors.

So what's more of a happy occasion

then the birth of a baby?

Well, the birth of two babies!

Here you see a little of my families history.I used page

14 of the ALSB (just adapted it a little to my taste).

My mother also got twins: my brother and my sister. Here

you see me siting with my brother and my sister and below

 with my daughters twin sons.How precious are these

two pictures together.

So I was thinking,these happy colors are perfect for baby cards,

esp. when you you are not sure what gender the baby will be and you just want 

to have a few ready. I took 4 different papers of 12 x 12 inch and

made 8 cards and 2 gift cards. Here is the template i used to make

all these cards:

You can do this with any color of paper you like. I made

baby cards,but of course you can use this also for

other cards. I used stamps,ribbons and other  embellishments

that came with this kit. Only the onsie is a die from

Stampin'Up! (Babies first). If you don't have it and

want to make these cards, here is a template:

Save it to your computer with a right mouse click

and use it for your own baby cards.

I tried to make some easy cards that can be made in a short time.

You see because i used the die,it gives right away

the option of using the background of the card too.

This way not many layers are needed.

I used the flower stamp to decorate the onesie

and the stickers that came with the kit.

On these cards you see Hello Baby as a sentiment.

Those stamps are frome a old kit from Club Scrap

(not available any more) but you can use your own stamps

there. Or write the name of the baby.

On the middle card you see stamped banners

embossed in lime green as a background.

Here embossing folders are used for the background.

One with baby feet (on the strips) and on the 

other buttons - babies are cute as a button- right?!

So on the onsie i added the button brads that came with this kit.

And I even had some small papers left over. I made these 

into little tag cards that one can add to a baby gift.

More Bold & Bright 2

What I love about bootcamp is that you look through your old kits

and low and behold, I find something useful in my

Club Scrap September 2012 Serenity kit: an ALCM

(assembly line card making) kit. That is the strenght of

Club Scrap. How to make the most of your papers.

You can find the these instructions online in the 

Club Scrap forum HERE.

Thecutting instructions are easy to follow.

So that is what I did for making 8 cards in a jiffy.

But of course I had to add my own touch.

So with the Serenity stencil and stamps

I decorated the backgrounds of these cards and 

from my stash I added bling bling to the cards.

Also some ribbons were added that you don't

see in the instuctions.

Below you can see all the cards I made.

Thanks for looking!

Have a creative day!
