Sunday Scrap: Twin-book

Last Wednesday we had a 

Club Scrap

blog hop and i told you I had some computer

problems and was unable to post all the 

pictures I wanted. Today I make it up to you

and share my project.

Last month Karen showed her twinchie album

and I knew right away that I needed to have it.

It is in the store HERE.

And then the twinchie album became a Twin-album!

For with the new babies there are so many cute pictures,

I cannot print enough of them and this album is the cutest!

So here is the front of the album. All papers

come from the Woven Strands kit. The owls are the theme

of the baby anouncement card,so I had to add those

(from the It's a Hoot kit) and the letters of

the twins are the Michael Strong alphabet stamps.

The flowers are made with some of the UM stamps.

Embossed with glitter black embossing bowder and cut out. 

the heart is apunch and a gemstone from the kit.

Leaves are dies as well as the sculped background.

And now for the inisde of the book:

you can click on all the pictures and see a larger version.

This is on the inside cover of the book

and I want to share with you how it is done.

First I stamped the UM tree stamp ( from the borders and

backgrounds here) in versamark and embossed it

with black embossing powder.

Next I took a green inkpad and a fingersponge.

These sponges make nice round stamps.

I used it to cover the top of the tree.

With brown I colored the roots the same way.

And the trunk and branches I colored with a 

dark green glaze pen.

Now you will see all the inside pages.

Some words are stamped...and this kit has just the

perfect sentiments fo my twin book

and some words I printed with the computer.

The free font for this kit is called:

Elementry Gothic Bookhand and you

find it HERE.

Even the twinchie parts (2 inch x 2 inch) come in

as handy elements.

But by cutting a 4 x 4 inch picture, you

can also add a picture in the little pockets.

Please have a look at all the pages I created,

they do not need much explanation.

The last page is the inside cover of the album

and a pocket was created here.I made a tag to 

put in the pocket,but because the tag became to long

I had to cut a piece of. i added this on the pocked

and it gives a wonderful effect.

Here you see all of the tag.

Thank you so much for looking

and sorry again about not posing

last Wednesday. I hope it was worth it to

come back here.

Have a creative day!

Stencil Time4

Today's stencil card is made with

Club Scrap Woven Strands for 

this sketch challenge on the 

Cas(e) this sketch! Blog.

I already had the idea of showing you how to use

part of your stencil and this sketch is just perfect for it.

So this is how I created the horizontal line:

Paper panel on the craft sheet.

On top a stecil of your choice and post-it notes.

Fasten with washi tape so stencil and papers

keep in place.

I used three colors of ink to make the border.

After taking away the stencil it looks like this.

and I can finish the card.

The doted backgound is a stamp from the Botanical kit

and the little gemstones came with the Woven Strands kit

as well as the sentiment.

Now as you can make one border on the card,

why not two?

Here you see how the panel has more than one border

with the same stencil. I turned it to get

the border on the same pace.

This is the finished card with a sentiment

and a triangle stamp from the 

Club Scrap Woven Strands kit.

Thanks again for looking and

hope to see you for another stencil post tomorrow.

Have a creative day!
