Club Scrap Blog Hop: Fire&Ice for Hanukkah

Here we are with our monthly
Club Scrap Blog Hop.

for the Fire & Ice kit:

For all participants you can always look

at the Club Scrap Create Blog,

but you just might have come here

after seeing Tricia's wonderful project.

At the Club Scrap Retreat the

envelope punch board waiting for me

to take home,so I just have to share something

with this wonderful tool with you.

Not only it makes great envelopes in any size you wish,

it also creates wonderful tabs for file folders

and this is what I have come up with for my scrap book

page, that I want to share with you today.

No pictures? Yes,sorry, they have to be made 

for tonight the Jewish Holiday of Hanukkah

starts with lighting the first candle. I will share
these pages again for sure with pictures!

But in my file folder I have already some Hanukkah recipes

(you can also use this for hidden journaling or

adding some extra pictures)

 and here is how it is made:

Start with a piece of cardstock 5,5 x 9,5 inch

(click on the picture for larger image)

On this template you see were to score the lines for folding

and which part you will cut away (green lines).

After you have prepared your cardstock like this you

will make the tab on the top with your envelope punch board:

Put the cardstock inside the punch on the left side 

for your firt cut.

 
Move your paper towards the left ( I stoped at 2 1/4)
and punched again. Now it looks like this.

Take a ruler and craft knife to cut away the right side

 of the paper (sorry for having my ruler upside down,

but there is no measuring involved).

Use the oter side of the punch to round the right

side of the file folder. 

Use small tape to stick the flaps to the back of the file

folder. This backside will be attached to your scrapbook lay out.

Then I cut some loose papers to go as recipe cards

inside the file folder.You can also use it for extra

pictures. The top of these cards is done in the

same way as the top of the file folder.

For decoration of the file folder and the rest of my pages

I used the old Hanukkah stamps from 2006 by Club Scrap.

Here a more close look at the left page with 

the file folder and I just had to add an envelope too!

They are so easy to make in any size. 

This is the right part of the lay out.

I have some images in my head that I want to shoot,

hopefully it all works out.

but there is more,

Kay has to show you this time.

Have a creative day!
