Club Scrap "Lakes" kit Blog Hop

LAKES KIT BLOG HOP!!

Good morning bloggers!!  Have you seen Club Scraps' new Lakes kit?  It is AMAZING!!  I totally LOVE this kit!  This will be just the best for making guy cards and layouts - and I have lots of guys in my life, so it is going to just perfect for us!!

So this month I wanted to create a tiled background with border, kinda like mimicking one of the ginormous fish tanks at one of them big box hunting fishing camping etc etc stores.  I can't say this was quick and easy this month, but I really like how it turned out.
Supplies:
Cardstock
Watercolor paper
Watercolor pans
Rubberstamps
ink pads
Pearl pen

Instructions:
1.  Start with white card front.  Cut strips of teal cardstock 1/2 inch wide.  You will need to cut mitered corners and ink all the edges.  Cut them at various lengths and adhere as shown:
2.  Cut a bunch of 1x1 and 1/2x1/2 inch squares of light green cardstock. 

 3. Ink edges of squares.  Adhere inside the border.

4.  On a separate piece of white cardstock, stamp the images of 3 "Fish" images (ClubScrap).  Using the watercolor paint palette and paint in the fish images.  Let dry.
5.  Cut out the fish and adhere to the cardfront.  Using the pearl pen, add some dots at each of the increments in the frame.
Well I hope this inspires you to get crafty and make something fun!  Thanks for visiting my blog during the Club Scrap Blog Hop!!

Butterfly Twinchies


 Here are the Butterfly Twinchies I made for swapping at Club Scraps' retreat this year.  I made 3 different colors, orange, green, and purple ones.
 I started by using Club Scraps butterfly (or maybe it is a moth) image to create an SVG file for my cricut and cut out a bajillion butterflies from white cardstock paper.
 I then used the "Daisy definition" stamp from CS and stamped on 1/3 of the stamps.  Just the 1 butterfly of the 3 that will be on each of my twinchies.
 I then inked the edges of all the butterflies.
 I cut some wire, folded in half and then rolled the ends into loops, creating the antennae of the butterfly.
 I took the bottom butterfly and slipped the folded edge onto the tail end of the butterfly, twisted the antenna about 3 times. 
 Attach the 2nd and 3rd butterflies on top.
 I used liquid adhesive to adhere the three butterflies together, so let them dry.
 While they were drying, I cut the 2x2 inch mat boards and created the base.  I peeled the paper back on crayons and used my heat gun to melt the crayons onto the matboard.
 Here is what they looked like.  Let cool/dry.
 Attach butterflies to the matboard using hot glue gun.
 Bend the wings up and the antenna up giving it a more life like look.
 Last but not least, add some gems to the body of the butterfly!
