Art Neko for Father's Day

I made this card for Father's Day with stamps from

the Art Neko Marine sheet2 and is also on the

Art Neko Blog. Here I share more detailed pictures

on how I made this card.

This is how I started the card. Take a regular card and from the inside

cut a strip of 1 inch away until the middle fold.

on the fron side of the card I cut only part of the 

1 inch strip. (I cut on both sides 1 inch).

Fold these strips towards the front of the card and make

it look like the collar of a shirt.

Next I took the shell stamp and walnut stain

oxide distress ink and stamped it on a piece

of orange cardstock.

I cut the cardtock in two and taped it to the

front of the shirt.

Next I took a piece of 3 x 3 inch copy paper and started

collage stamping on it and also colored it orange.

This is the finished piece of paper, now ready for folding into a tie.

Here you see the finished tie. I add also here the

folding template, that I found on the internet:

If you click on the picture, you can see a larger version.

Here on the detail, you see the tie added and the

collar fastned with 2 little orange brads.

You can add any sentiment to your liking.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Sunday Scrapping: Photo Frame

Time for a technique Challenge at the Club Scrap Blog:

an origami photo book.

All instructions can be found on the Blog and a video

tutorial here. It is very easy and fun to make.

I also found the matching design guide,

you can download that one here.

I did not really make a book, more a wall hanging.

Behind the most left photo I made this. I was  trying

to clear my papers and found allkinds of valentine papers.

The stamps and stickers are from the Fizz kit (folded hearts),

red paper from Study in Red, dark red paper from 

Dream in Color (folded frame) and a sentiment

from the 2005 Valentine's kit. Always good to have 

some old kits around!

The hearts are of course from Michael Strong.

This is Aiden on his first official "daycare"picture.

The folded heart is made in an origamy technique.

This is the folding template:

If you click on the photo, you see a larger version.

This is Owen,the eldest brother.

The sentiment is a combination of the text

with a stamped and in gold embossed heart.

And here is Colin, the first born of the twin.

With the same folded heart.

Hope this inspires to make your own photo book/frame

and link it to the Club Scrap Blog.

Have a creative day!

Voor vaderdag/ For Fathers'Day

Vorig jaar heb ik voor vaderdag een shirt gevouwen (links) en wil je dat ook doen, kijk dan bij Cambria voor de vouwinstructie. Maar wil je liever een shirt maken in de irisvouwtechniek (rechts) en heb je dat nog nooit gedaan? Dan kun je HIER klikken voor de vouwinstructie
en wil je het patroon? Dan moet je hier zijn en daar kun je nog veel meer voorbeelden zien. Papier en stempels zijn van Club Scrap uit verschillende dozen.
Veel vouwplezier!
