Club Scrap Aspen Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to another

Club Scrap Blog Hop.

This month we present to you the Aspn kit.

Have you come over her from Tricia's Blog

with her always so efficient ideas?

Well, if you get lost,you can always go back to the

Club Scrap Creates Blog,

where you find a list of all the participants 

you must see with all their

wonderful and inspirational creations.

This time of the year, I am always into calenders

and this is what I came up with for you:

It is a desktop calendar that you cannot use only for

the next year,but for all the years to come. 

Just change the number of the year!

For this project I used:

Aspen papers

Aspen Stamps

Old set of Monthly stamps from 2007

Centenial casualnubers 2007

a bind-it-all machine

Take one 12x12 inch cardstock of your choice

and fold it in half.

Cut it at 9,5 inch vertical. Use your score-pal to score

at 4 inches from the folded side. The calendar

will be on the top side and below the fold 

will be where it stands on.

The folded side will be put into the bind-it-all machine

to make the holes for the owires.

Information about the use of th bind-it-all

you can find here.

I am thankful to have the pops in my kit

and they were cut just right for this project.

I used these strips for the

Months

days

numbers.

Each card is 2"x 3,25""  and the numbers are 2"x 2,5.

I rounded each card with a corner punch.

For the decorating the backgrounds of the cards

I used the UM Aspen stamps

and also these months and number stamps 

still in my collection from 2007. 

Here you see the finished project,where the owire

holds the cards. This way you can just bring them

to the back of the calendar to adjust the right date.

And you can just make it into any date.

The blackcards are 12, one for every month.

The days of the week are seven cards and

for the numbers you need on one side just 4 cards

(0,1,2,3) and 10 on the other side (1,2,3....9 and 0).

See, any date can be made this way.

A fun sentiment on the calendar for decoration

and the number of the year. This is done with 

the cricut machine and can be changed every year.

Now I also work on another calendar idea,but not

finished yes,please come back on Saturday to see

my other desktop calendar.

And now more inspiration on 

Kay's keepsakes blog.

I am just as curious as you

to see what she has come upwith this time.

Have a creative day!

Sunday Scrap Page: Easter

Here my Easter scrap page with my lovely

9 month old grandson. For the picture

I used a frame app from my i-pad.

 

All papers are by Club Scrap (various kits)

and Stamps are by Michael Strong:

cloisonné egg and hearts.

 

When I try to come up with an idea

for a new page I often surf around the

weg and while doing this I found this cute chicken

template snd new this was wat i wanted.

You can find it here:

http://papercookies.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2013/01/07/here-a-chick-there-a-chick-and-a-pattern/

I used the mini heart for the cockcomb

and the larger heart for the wing.

 

The egs are embossed with white on

glossy paper stamped with alcohol ink first.

The letters are cut out with the cricut

and stamped with walnut ink with

the large cloisonné egg stamp.

Have a creative day!

 

Wedding Anniversary

Today is the 3rd Wedding day of my DD and her husband.

How time flies!

Here you can see them:

http://craftchaos.blogspot.com/2008/10/happy-couple.html

And because my DD also loves owl,

I made them this cute card with my new Cricut

Hoot 'n ' Holler cartridge.

The sentiment is from Create with TLC.

Have a creative day!

Owl be scrappin'

Today I have a scrap page for you.

The papers are all by Club Scrap (Papillon kit).

The sentiment on top is by Create with TLC

and down at the bottom are stamps by Michael Strong.

In the background you see some cute little owls and that is a sweet

little clear set by Hero Arts

How did I do this?

I stamped the images with versamark on glossy paper.

Then I took my brayer and  a Kaleidacolor

inkpad Berry Blaze and rolled the color over the images.

Take a paper towel and rub the ink from the images.

The words I stamp with black ink at the end.

This owl is made with my new Cricut cartridge.

I am so happy using it and it is so much fun!

Have a creative day!

Club Scrap Die Cutter's Blog Hop

Today me and my friends
- Club Scrap lovers -

want to show you what you can do with your

Club Scrap paper and one of the die cut machines.

I still have one of the first Cricut machines

( the smaller one)

and to be honest I don't do anything

spectacular with it. Mainly I use it for cutting

letters. I love all the alphabets.

Today I want to share with you a little booklet that was made

with the "Storybook" cardtridge.

I started  with cutting the pages for my booklet

at 5 1/2 inch with

using different colors of Club Scrap

Lotus Pond papers.

A total of 10 different pages were cut.

To make the outerpages a little more sturdy,

cut 2 pages out of grey bord by tracing

with a pencil

the ones you cut out with your machine.

Then cut them out.

Use bookbinding glue to adhere 2 pages: one to the front

and one to the back of the grey board.

Do the same  for the backpage.

Choose the pictures and print them.

I have a wonderful free program called

Picasa, where you can print in all sizes

and this time I choose to print them wallet size.

Back to the Cricut and the letters

for the front page were cut and on the edges

some ink was added.

Me and no stamps? No......!

So I got  the Lotus pond stamps out,

ink and my Karisma pencils.

When all pages are finished,

pile them together and punch a whole

and use a bookbinding ring to hold

them together. Decorate the ring

with ribbons and charms.

Here you see the result of it all:

Front page: cut out lettering, stamps

and ribbons. Extra charms: dragonfly and frog.

I chose the water lily theme because

my water lilies started to bloom yesterday and I just

remembered I have so many beautiful pictures

of them that I can use in a booklet.

Pictures, scrap background, stamps and a cut out form

that is stamped on.

Pictures and stamped images.

Pictures, stamped images and ribbon.

Fowers with Cricut, lettering with stencil,

pictures and stamped images.

And on the back of the booklet I used some text

printed with the computer. Stamped images, flower picture and brad.

Michael Strong BLOG HOP

Blog Hop

Theme: Wedding/Valentine

Here we are with another circular blog hop

with Michael Strong stamps.

You came here from

Heidi's Blog

and here is some more inspiration for you.

Just couldn't resist making a card for each theme.

One for a wedding and one for Valentine.

But....

they are also the same card, just a different

color and a different sentiment.

Here is the wedding card:

I took out all my tools:

the heart is cut out with the cricut (Storybook)

the background is embossed through the cuttlebug

the sentiment is on a cut out die with a nestabillity

The stamps I used are the mini flower

and the mini bird embossed in white

on white paper.

The sentiment is printed with the computer.

For the Valentine card I did everything the same:

only in red and gold, instead

of white and gold.

For the sentiment I used Michael's word stamp and the

alphabet stamps.

As this is a blog hop there is some more inspiration

on Herma's blog.
