Frame of Mine

This month's Club Scrap Artist Team Challenge Blog Hop was inspired by the July NBUS Challenge on the Club Scrap chat forum. The challenge is to make pages, cards, or other projects featuring a “frame” (or frames) designed using rubber stamps or stencils. I took a few creative liberties with this challenge...and made them frames of mine!

Card #1 CAS (Clean and Simple)

No layers, just CAS! I used Club Scrap® 's Vintage Botany dandelion overlay stencil paired with the "wish" sentiment from the Jumbo Unmounted stamp images from the same kit. Then, I went waaaaaaay back and used the stitching stencil from the 2012 Navajo kit to create the frame. I used different colors of Gansai Tambi watercolors for the colorful splatters. 

Card #2 Shadow Box Card

I absolutely LOVE this fun card! I pulled out my Club Scrap®  Paradise stamp images (and I even had some scraps of the card stock left) to create this fun shadow box card! (these Paradise kit items are 50% off through today!)



The stamp images just beg to be colored and that is exactly what I did. I colored them with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut them out to create the tropical clusters.



The 3D effect on this card is so intriguing! You automatically want to turn it upside down and look inside!



Card #3 Four Flap Card

Four Flap Card from Club Scrap on Vimeo.

You gotta watch the video, this card is such a fun card to decorate! I used card stock and stamp images from Club Scrap® 's 2009 Artifacts kit.



Unfold the four flaps and voila, a hidden panel to add a note or decorate any way you like!



I added a little flair with Versamark ink, copper foil embossing powder and some gem eyes for sparkle.





I fussy cut the frog image and added a mini action wobble! I love playing with those things!

Utilize and Miniaturize!

Welcome to my stop on the Club Scrap Vintage Botany blog hop!



Isn't this kit gorgeous?!



Before Club Scrap® posted project ideas and instructions on their blog, they published a monthly Scrap Rap publication that was included in each kit. I have quite a collection of them! The instructions are always so easy to follow and the end results are beautiful creations that will make people "ooooh and ahhhh" over them. Looks really hard doesn't it?



Well, it's easy when you know how!

This particular 6x6 album kit was offered long ago, but with the instructions and a little extra know how, I can recreate this project using any papers I choose for a whole new look! This 2007 edition of the Scrap Rap even included ALSB cutting and assembly instructions for ten 6x6 pages.

AND...here's a bonus video of Tricia making the acrylic version of this album!

This whole project came together in an afternoon! It doesn't get much easier than that. Aren't these mini scrapbook pages adorable? All I need to add now are 2x3 photos trimmed to fit the photo mats and some journaling.



OK, I didn't stop there... The cover is decorated with a card panel I made for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #415 using the card sketch from the July 2017 Club Scrap Idea Deck Challenge!



Talk about efficient scrapbooking!

Detailed cutting and assembly instructions are on the back of each card.

I started out by downloading the image and adding some word art (this is an additional freebie on the Tlc blog!) using Photoshop Elements. Don't have PSE? No problem! You don't need any special software to use the digital images. Simply print the file on card stock and color and embellish however you would like.



I printed the image on Club Scrap® card stock, trimmed it out and distressed the edges with a Tonic paper distresser and some Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I didn't want just a card panel though. After a little Google searching, I found this Center Step Card Tutorial and bonus video!

I adjusted the instructions a bit to accommodate the wider width of my image. My card base measures 7.5 x 8. The side panels are still cut at 1 inch, but I adjusted the cut and score lines for a 5.5 x 3.5 inch card panel.





I love how it turned out!



I used some colored vellum and stamp images from Club Scrap® to create the waves. I stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with copper foil embossing powder and fussy cut the images. The side panels and photo mat are also decorated with Club Scrap card stock.



I used this mini resin frame to highlight the image. I inked the edges with Versamark ink, dusted with the copper foil embossing powder and heat embossed. I added a few sea shells, a little crab charm and glued everything on with some Glossy Accents.



AND of course,  a little sparkle with Diamond Stickles! Be sure to download this word art at your next stop on the Tlc blog.



Do more of what makes you happy!

I was Made for Sunny Days!

Today starts a new challenge week at Cupcake Inspirations and the theme is... In the Garden!



There isn't a sponsor this week, so Cupcake Inspirations is generously providing a $5 gift certificate to any one of our 2017 sponsors!



Club Scrap® 's July 2017 Vintage Botany kit was perfect for this challenge! 

I combined the kit elements with the July 2017 Club Scrap Idea Deck Challenge sketch to make my card. Detailed cutting instructions are included on the back of each card so there is no wasted paper!  

A little intimidated by all of those pieces? No worries! Grab a grid ruler to line them up before you glue them down.



Piece of (cup)cake! 

Be sure to check out more garden inspiration from the Design Team Sweeties!
