National Scrapbook day.....Club Scrap Blog Hop: Travel Art Kit.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!!  Welcome to ClubScrap's iNSD Blog Hop!!!

So I wanted to make a travel art kit.  Something really small that could fit in my pocket or purse.  Then when we are at a restaurant for dinner, or waiting for kids during karate, or even on my lunch break...I could doodle and do a small art journal...just a lil something to keep the creative juices flowing anywhere I may be....

I decided to also make one for a very dear friend, whom is always so busy she rarely has time to create, even tho I know she really wants to...maybe she, too, will find a lil time here and there to play and do something artsy to make her day a lil better creatively speaking and more fulfilling!!

I used numerous ClubScrap sentiment stamps - they have SO MANY super fabulous ones to pick from - to create these two projects -

For one of the tins, I used Spring Chorus kit and the other is Wild Flowers kit.

 

Each kit includes a little case (an altered tin from candy the kids received at christmas time, measures about 4.5x3.5) - in the case I have watercolor paints, paint brush, pencil, pencil sharpener, some water, and a spiral bound book of watercolor paper.  I cut the watercolor paper to fit the tin and bound them using my bind-it-all machine.

 Instructions:
1.  Started out by creating the little spiral ring watercolor paper sets, by cutting watercolor paper to size, then punch out the holes and bind with the bind-it-all system.

2.  I rubberstamped various images and sentiments and then watercolored the covers of the art journals.

3.   Then I took air dry clay and put a chunk into the tin that fills about 2/3rds the inside of the container, leaving space for the pencil, paint brush, water, etc.  I left about 1/2 inch deep.

4.  Then I used a little bottle to create the divots for the watercolor paint.

5.  Let this dry, it will shrink a little bit - then I pulled out, filled with paint, and then glued (using a hot glue gun) back into the tin.

5.  Next I cut cardstock to fit the tin, and rubberstamped images and sentiments on the front and back pieces.  I then modge podged the cardstock pieces to the tin.  Here is MY tin, this is the front side of it, I used papers from the the "Wild Flowers" Club Scrap kit:

Here is the back side of my tin:











Here is the tin for my friend, I used cardstock from "Spring Chorus" Club Scrap kit:

6. I also cut a 1/2 in wide piece of cardstock to run around the edge of the tin - I rubberstamped a sentiment on it and modge podged to the tin.

 I sure hope my dear friend likes her tin, can't wait to have my tin done and ready to travel with me...I look forward to future playtimes with it!!
