Sunday Scrap Page: Valentine

Of course today's pageis about Valentine.

I used the Club Scrap Love Ink papers.

It is so easy to make a page,for the kit comes

with wonderful assembly instructions, so no waste of papers!

I used intstuctions for page 5 from the instruction sheet.

You find the instructions on the Club Scrap website

for free here.

My DH and I went on atrip to Rotterdam for Valentine.

There is an absolutely wonderful new market place that

just opened on Oct 2014 that we wanted to see and thought

it a nice idea to have lunch there.

You can read about this place HERE.

We had a wonderful Labanese lunch.

Of course I got some flowers and for my gift I have to 

wait a little longer.I wanted the Edge of Eternity by Ken Follett

in paperback and not the hard cover that is out now.

Of course I changed the sticker heart for an other heart.

The Michael Strong heart stamp.

This time I stamped it on white shrink plastic

with a red inkpad.

I used the large heart stamp and here you see

the large version when stamped and the shrunk vesrion

when heated. Yes, even the color changed,became a little darker.

It is so much fun to use shrink plastic. I could have easily made

the hearts into earings. For this you just punch a hole in the shrink

plastic before heating it.

Thank you for looking.

Animal Valentine

Here my last idea for Valentine.

I came across this idea on a blog online HERE

and downloaded the template.

There is also a download for SVG there.

For this card I used the monkey

and the Love Ink papers by Club Scrap.

These papers come with some cut out for cards

and this one matched perfectly.Because of the

monkey i also pulled out some green paper

from the Comics kit.

The monkey is holding a real wrapped chocolate heart.

Ribbon is from my stash.

Here you see all the different animals.

I printed them on some other Club Scrap papers I have.

For the next card I printed the bear on Homestead paper.

I could not find a cut out that I liked to go with this one,

so I turned one of the panels and made a my own background.

First I used the heart and dots stencil

to color the paper and then the heart from

the Club Scrap 2009 Heart to Hearts um stamps.

On the top card there is a real chocolate,

but this is way to heavy for a card,

so for this one I stamped another of the stamps of the

CS 200g Heart to Heart stamps and embossed in white

to replace the chocolate.

The sentiment is also from the same set.

The ribbon is from the Love Ink kit too.

Well this is it for Valentine 2015.

Hope you all have a wonderful and

Club Scrap Valentine Blog Hop

Welcome to the 

Club Scrap

Valentine Blog Hop.

I hope you have arrived here 

from Marya's Blog

if not,you will find all the 

participants of this blog hop

on the Club Scrap blog

When I saw the new Valentinepapers,

I just wanted to have them,for

I had my idea what to make right away.

The kit is called Love Ink and

you can find it here.

With the brown colored paper,

I knew it was going to be a coffee project

for Valentine this year.

I just got these cute little paper coffee cups

and i had seen all kinds of containers

around the internet, sohere is my version of

a mini coffee cup holder.

My love and I start Valentine morning with a lovely cup of coffee

and some Valentine chocolates before we are going out and have

a great day. Hope you have a wonderful Valentine day too.

Want to know how to make one of these holders?

Remember, this is for a mini cup!

To make this box I have a template for you.

Start with a pieceof cardstockof 5 x 11 inch.

Instrucions for cutting and folding are on the template.

To make the handle cut a cardstock strip of

1 7/8 x 12 inch and score  1 1/2-6-10 1/2 inch.

Fold at 6 dubble and the 1 1/2 strips the other way.

On top I punched out a heart shape for Valentine

 but you can also do an oval or a circle.

Use dubble sided tape on the 1 1/2 strips

to fasten the handle to the box.

On top I added one of the ribbons from  the kit

with tiny pink hearts.

Around the box I decorated with the wonderful

collage papers.The strip is 12 x 1 7/8inch.

This is not long enough to go around the box,

but thereis always a solution. By making the text

with the computer and adding this on the empty space,

 you don't notice it at  all and by adding the hearts

it makes it complete.

A template for decorating the cups I made by

cutting up one of them and flatten it for use.

I used the cream colored paper to decorate the cups

and by tutning back to front I made the middle part

and embossed it with the candy hearts adding 

Neon Pink ink with ablending tool.

On the lid I cut apiece of hot pink and embossed

it with coffee beans.

Even the other side of the box has 2 hearts.

Of course a matching card with the cups.

The card that comes with the kit

had a somewhat other text,but with 

typing someting on the computer I made

it fitting my coffee theme.

The brown background is embossed with  the coffee beans.

The coffee cups are from the 2012 Brewed Awekenings stamps.

Now it is time for more inspiration

on the blog of

Ann: Crzymom's Tidbits

who has her

wonderful project for you.

Thank you for looking,

Tim Holtz Febuary tag: Valentine

Here is my Valentine tag for 

Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2015.

This time it is made with my new 

Club Scrap Love Ink papers! 

Yeh,they finally arrived

and there was such a cute note inside

of everyone at Club Scrap,I just have to share with

you how sweet and thoughtful they are:

\

Thank you all!

An now for my tag:

I made the collaged acground,like you see on 

Tim's tag and because i do not have all the right

ites to add I made my own version. 

I did have to add something Tim and because I

did not have the 14 bingo number, I made my own

with Tim's 14 stamp stamped in red on shrink plastic. Before heating

it I cut the shrink plastic with a circle die.

The heart is felt, but stiched by hand.

I liked the xxx markings for kisses.

The poem is a stamp from Club Scrap 2009 

Heart to Heart UM stamps. The little siver heart came

with this years Love Ink box. No stamps this time.

Now quickly back to my craftroom to finish

my project for tomorrow. Sure hope you come

back to see what we all have in store for you

at the:

Have a creative day!

Valentine Fizz

This is such a fun technique from the

Technique Junkies to do.

It is called: 

Modern Grid

and you find it in a very old newslettrer

in Apr/May 2007.

It woks like this:

You start stamping the images and

color them.Next you take a ruler

and make the grid with a black marker.

Now you can also color the background squares

and add alittle doodling in the squares.

In the middle i added a little circle made

with shrink plastic.

Papers and stampsare from

the Club Scrap

Fizz kit 2007.

Just 2 more days until Valentine,

are you ready?

Don't forget the blog hop:

Have a creative day!

Valentine pop-up

Today I have this pop up card for you.

I used Club Scrap's papers from Homestead and Blueprint

Club Scrap stencils

carnation and fuchsiahybrid inkpad from Club Scrap

and my favourite Valentine stamps from 

2008 Valentine's .

This is the inside of the card.

I show you how I made this card:

You need two peiees of cardstock of 8,5 x 5,5 inch,

which makes a 4,25 x 5,5  inch card.

First I explain the outside of the card.

I stamped my images with versamark and

embossed them with white embossing powder.

(enlarge the picture by clicking on it and

 you see the white images on the card).

Next i took a blending tool and the carnation ink pad.

With the blending tool I colored the card.

Then I took a soft cloth and rubbed over the white

embossed parts and made themcome out more.

Ths look is nice,but I wanted to make it alittle more

exciting.

I took two different Club Scrap stencils.and the darker 

red fuchsia inkpad and colored on top of the images.

Half of the card has the honeycomb

and the other half a more dotty pattern.

The two hearts are colored extra with a marker and 

for extra effect I added glossy accent on top of the hearts.

Now leave this to dry.

For the inside you fold the second piece of cardstock

and on the fold line you draw two hearts. I used my spelbinders, 

but if you don't have these, you can draw them by hand.

Or you can use this drawing by saving it to your computer.

As you can see clearly on this drawing is the points that

stay fastened to the card and these are also the places

where you fold the hearts.

After folding one up and one down, it

looks like this.

I added a white embossed sentiment and 

drew a line  with a white ink pen.

Here another look on the card standing up.

Thanks for looking and don't forget:

Have a creative day!
