Aspen Blog Hop!!

  Aspen Blog Hop

 Welcome to this month's ClubScrap Blog Hop!

Here is a real simple but fun technique - I did it 6 different ways to give you a variety of ideas for this single stamped image.

Supplies:
Cardstock
Watercolor paper
Watercolor paints
paint brush
Twinkling H2O's
Forest Rubberstamp
Black india Ink

Instructions:
1.  Stamp image onto watercolor paper with black india ink.  Trim out.

2. Color 1/3 of the white area around the tree images with watercolor paint.  Let dry.

3. You can color as many or as few colors as you like.  But repeat until all background is colored. Let each color section dry.

4. Stamp bird images in black.

5.  Then take some twinkling H2O's and sprintz or flick onto cardfront.  Creates a wonderful look - depending on the various colors you could use, it could look like leaves falling from a tree, rain falling, or even snow falling.

6.  Mat images and adhere to card backs.

Gnome Blog Hop

 Welcome to this extra special Club Scrap Holiday Blog Hop!  

I am soooo totally in love with these little Gnomes!  They are sooo stinking cute!  I decided to make a fun ornament for the tree with them.

Instructions:
1.  Stamp Gnome stamp 8 times on white cardstock with black india ink.

2. Trim out Gnomes.  Cut Gnomes at the belt line.  Using my big brush markers, I painted all their faces yellow and half of them in light green and half in dark green.

3. Cut a circle out of red cardstock.  Stamp "There's no place like Gnome for the holidays." sentiment on red cardstock. Ink edges with green ink.

4.  Adhere Gnomes to red circle alternating light and dark green Gnomes.

5.  Cut 2 strips of red cardstock that is 2.5 inches wide and 12 inches long.  Score cardstock every 1/2 inch for the entire length of the 12 inches.  Adhere the 2 pieces together, making one long pieces.  Adhere the other ends together.  Lay flat creating the circular pattern. 

6. Cut a large green circle and adhere it to the flattened scored circular piece. I used liquid adhesive.  Press and hold while it dries. 

7. Adhere the two pieces together finalizing the ornament.

8.  Punch a hole at the top and attach a ribbon.

Santa's Button

Thought this was a cute idea, more for older kids who might be getting skeptical about Santa....I did this last year, and my youngest was thrilled to stumble upon Santa's button hidden under one of his gifts under the tree.  Santa had left a this note and poem saying that he'd lost his button while delivering gifts and whoever happens to find it, will have good luck for the year.  I had found an old plain button and used a bit of modget podge and a paper cut out to cover it, then added some stickles to glam it up.  Just thought I would share a fun little idea.

Fire & Ice Blog Hop

 Welcome to this month's ClubScrap Blog Hop!  

Well I know this technique has been around forever, but honestly I had never tried the technique out myself.  When I saw the cutouts from this month's kit - I thought it would be a perfect chance to give it a try.  There is instructions all over the net for this "Waterfall" technique if you need further instructions than my photo shots here.

Supplies:
Yellow cut outs from kit
Blue cardstock to mat cut outs
11x3 yellow cardstock strip
1x5 blue cardstock strip
5x7 orange card back (folded measurement)
4-3/4x6-3/4 blue cardstock mat
2 brads
piece of ribbon
circle punches
adhesive
Rubberstamp
Ink

Instructions:
1.  Mat cutouts

2. Adhere the ends (about 1 inch on each side) of the 1x5 strip to the mat, then use brads as well to adhere the 2 pieces together

3.  Take yellow strip and score a line at 3inches, then at 3-3/4, 4.5, 5-1/4.  Adhere the cut outs to the yellow strip.  Start with the first piece and adhere the entire backside, then with the next 3 just adhere in the 3/4in section.

Repeat until all have been adhered

4.  Punch a circle out of the card mat.  Punch another circle out of a piece of scrap.

5.  Adhere the orange circle onto the yellow strip.

6. Add ribbon.

7. Slip into card front and adhere yellow strip to blue card front as shown:

8.  Adhere card front to card back

9.  Once adhesive has set, you will be able to pull on the handle and move from panel to panel to panel.  You can rubberstamp a saying when fully open.
