Club Scrap Old & New

As the Holidays just tumbled from one into the other

I am trying to scrap last year first, before starting on

my page for the New Year.

So here is my page about Hanukkah. I used some old scraps I still 

have of the Club Scrap Hanukkah kit from 2006.

The white base is from the Cyprus kit.

Here you see some of the stamps that came with this hanukkah kit.

The sentiment stamped in blue and the candle holder stamped in

versamark and  embossed in silver. The candle lights are little 

sticky gemstones.

The dreidel is stamped on stampboard with black ink

and in the background you see adecoration from a wooden

stamp from Ivory Elegance. Then colored with blue 

by  blending tool.

This silver sentiment on top was hard to

photograph. It was part of a 12x12 inch page, but

still saved for future use, which is now.

And now to something new: the kit for January 2017

is called Color me Happy and while waiting for the 

box of papers and stamps to arrive, I played a little

with the digital kit (see here for only $4,95)

I made a combination of using the stamps from Shades of Winter

(December) and sentiment and background pape from this

new fabulous kit.

The snowflakes and white parts are embossed. 

The metal  silver star embelliment also came from the

Shades of Winter kit and the ribbon is from the Cyprus kit.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Faux Patina and Mojo sketch #448

The technique of the month on the

Club Scrap Blog

is Faux Patina.

Here is the result of my playing around. I used the 

tutorial on the Splitcoast Stampers HERE.

I made one version (left) like they show it on SCS

and the right one is done the same way,but using  

acrylic distress paint and gold distress spray.

They are both embossed with the gadget gear embossing folder.

I used the card sketch on the Mojo Monday

for one card.

Made my cards with the new Creative License kit

by Club Scrap. The car is from the digital kit

and the sentiment is from an old CS kit called Cruisin'.

The gadget gear is cut with a Sizzix die from Tim Holtz.

It is also out of a piece of faux patina paper.

On top there is a real metal piece and together fastned

with a brad.

And here another card. This kit is so perfect for Father's Day cards

I found the right sentiment on my CS Cape Cod stamps

Here I used the digital image of the car again and cut it out with a circle

die and taped it on top of one of the larger gadget gears from the die.

I have some papers left, so be sure to stop by and see what I did with those

somewhere in the next few days.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

More Up,Up &Away

I have another idea for you with

your Club Scrap Up, Up&Away kit:

a zig zag card to let your

balloons fly in the sky.

 

What do you need:

1 sheet of 11x8,5 inch

white paper

Darcie cloud embossing folder

(or make your own, see HERE)

your balloon stamps

blue ink and sponge

scissors, ruler,pencil, glue

This is the template with measurements

to make two cards out of an 11x8,5"sheet.

Take one piece and your scoring tool (if you have

one) and score at 3 5/8 from each side.

 

 After scoring you fold your card

harmonica wise and this way

a zig zag card is here.

 After you have finished one part,

do the same with the second

part of the sheet.

Take 3 pieces of 3,5"by 5,5"for

each card and emboss them all

with the cloud embossing folder.

Take your ink and brush lightly

over the clouds that are embossed.

 Cut all the pannels to size

for your card, prepare

stamped images and finish

 your cards to your own tast

Here the finished card as seen

from the front.

Here you see the unfolded card.

This is the second card

from the front.

And here the unfolded card.

 

Have a creative day!

 

Apple Punch

Here is another card with

the Fauc embossing technique.

You can see HERE how to do this.

Papers and sentiment are all from Club Scrap.

You can use your apple punch also this way: punch out a lot of

apples from different scraps you have and make

your own background by  glueing all the apples

to another piece of scrap paper.

This card is made with Club Scrap "Comics" paper

for the Jewish New Year (29th of September),

so I better start making some cards.

Why the apple you may ask:

becaus on the New Year we eat a sweet apple with honey

and wish each other a very sweet New Year.

The Hebrew sentiment means:

A very good year and mah you be inscribed

(for another year in the book of life).

Have a creative day!
