This months challenge was to find a You Tube video on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/clubscrap">Club Scrap YouTube Channe</a>l and make a project from it. Of course we needed to add our own flair. There are many to chose from, but I spied this one: <a href="https://youtu.be/mVGbOjtwZjE">Stacked Book Box Project</a>. Take a look. A fabulous video and great project.<br />
<br />
Before I start, lets get some housekeeping out of the way. You should have arrived from <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdebduzscrappin.blogspot.com%2F2017%2F10%2Foctober-artist-team-challenge.html&h=ATOGiucGyN2tMw40OYzuiRP1a6wf0Q2X87sh97vv2HmD6dhH5ijINEbUFbCQJ8dh36UjcUONwbqNf16yNFnEBMrAXQEzM0DpAmcd8xuoGLjZdUNY53Lbt5nuEGBG-LFWUDYXchZHN450LdGM">Debbie</a>.

The first box, while a different size, was made exactly like the video. I am not very handy with wet glue, but played the video, followed each step, exactly. Had a few goofs, but fixed easily and went together like a dream. I was happy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I started with a "real book", took the measurements and created my work sheet with all the measurements. Once I had the pieces cut, I started on the assembly.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigmTjyY5xygFlux_kbnFgiB2wp8SoqIjMCdaSaBlKiqm6TKVzaxa3FvqLMU-VGwA2aRnDcbKCBRCoedDA5-0CzeGc_5-xPJrn5FQsBgiaAx_0ZoKVncibwPKpNQEc6CF00kksbQESQfbU/s1600/book1+covers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigmTjyY5xygFlux_kbnFgiB2wp8SoqIjMCdaSaBlKiqm6TKVzaxa3FvqLMU-VGwA2aRnDcbKCBRCoedDA5-0CzeGc_5-xPJrn5FQsBgiaAx_0ZoKVncibwPKpNQEc6CF00kksbQESQfbU/s320/book1+covers.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step one</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv3fVssUAkM9huhAEwNP_MFC4jsw5jBcU8voWvmAMm7sbkk9dX3Q_pxmPGMYz_ongk574hdvGG2-RGv57FoNVeEIS22cn1eKdzv4erxlbM5BQ4LclQUHMGgpxi2RqNVVMQP_dy29l6i4o/s1600/book+1+outside.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1134" data-original-width="1600" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv3fVssUAkM9huhAEwNP_MFC4jsw5jBcU8voWvmAMm7sbkk9dX3Q_pxmPGMYz_ongk574hdvGG2-RGv57FoNVeEIS22cn1eKdzv4erxlbM5BQ4LclQUHMGgpxi2RqNVVMQP_dy29l6i4o/s320/book+1+outside.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
step 2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and so on, just like the video.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFfJRHfOfYv8lJ2t_inCo3met9W77ZBLlhwxJK_6wvAH23WurKrVdxYQM_sqqgaxJL0QjK0wzFmxwpkRdKb5B2oP7cx3rHd8NUfoYSUaKFuAnF8hHdosD7cBAfQ0O1aRMic2P2xjvkiSc/s1600/book+1+inside+box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1342" data-original-width="1600" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFfJRHfOfYv8lJ2t_inCo3met9W77ZBLlhwxJK_6wvAH23WurKrVdxYQM_sqqgaxJL0QjK0wzFmxwpkRdKb5B2oP7cx3rHd8NUfoYSUaKFuAnF8hHdosD7cBAfQ0O1aRMic2P2xjvkiSc/s320/book+1+inside+box.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This step was almost my undoing. I had not calculated the paper size correctly, but I pressed on and did some camo work. Thanks to the washi tape from the kit and some extra paper. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWSvPQLscBoqqKgHCx-N6s1p60VrQSO4pWJQ7hwYTcXxSDZUUTOSfRxy_2T5xTFo68FRRn7T9lKcsHvfZgnYCxvXhhw122WQIv9UCcowUFtp39YqMZetCIghsdqj56AP9Xh5Xdr0ujYVg/s1600/front+box+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="837" data-original-width="1600" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWSvPQLscBoqqKgHCx-N6s1p60VrQSO4pWJQ7hwYTcXxSDZUUTOSfRxy_2T5xTFo68FRRn7T9lKcsHvfZgnYCxvXhhw122WQIv9UCcowUFtp39YqMZetCIghsdqj56AP9Xh5Xdr0ujYVg/s320/front+box+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A ribbon helped with the camo as well, and a little charm. This box I left plain. I did not photograph the inside, but I have photos of box 2 and they are similar. .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Box 2:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Took what I learned from book one, and moved away from wet glue to scor-tape and zyron. Worked great. But I needed to follow the assembly instructions and it helped to have a box finished. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once again I calculated my sizes, and cut paper and board. Then I ran everything through the Zyron.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trick with this technique, is you need to run the bone folder around the edges before removing the top sheet. This breaks the adhesive at the edges and ensures better coverage. Also all the papers and steps, need burnished well with the bone folder or a brayer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
here they all are attached to the paper and score tape added to the flaps. corners are cut the same way. I did remove the backing strips on the just the ends, while prepping the corners. And proceeded as in the video, minus the glue. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Finished the inside, just as in the video. But here I encountered a problem. The glue moistens the paper and makes it easier to mold. On the outside, when folded the paper pulled away and left a crack that showed the backerboard. Fixed by adding a ribbon over the outside seam with score tape. This was done on both sides. Where the ribbon overlapped on the front, I added flowers. The ends of the ribbon, on the bottom, is covered by the box. I added the ribbon on the front of the box to give focal interest on the front but to also cover a seam. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Very simple this month and not complicated. Just need to understand your products!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lets start with the first one. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Using a piece of water color paper, I laid down the wood element in the kit. To make sure it did not move I used a glue dot in the center. And misted away. After dry, I added more spray to the wood element. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC_8ytvXGGGp0NyCQRcIN-Ebu-5ZZBOD5egt2rAZHSb0ToqTJg6-AhqiuhHNN4CRuT3tVRCc4G_QMRHViu58u8X4KlV8RpQCw592zs3LDprDLrjs9KJ3DHKZd7F1nzd1EmJOJJeLwr2eE/s1600/card+one+sprayed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1584" data-original-width="1600" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC_8ytvXGGGp0NyCQRcIN-Ebu-5ZZBOD5egt2rAZHSb0ToqTJg6-AhqiuhHNN4CRuT3tVRCc4G_QMRHViu58u8X4KlV8RpQCw592zs3LDprDLrjs9KJ3DHKZd7F1nzd1EmJOJJeLwr2eE/s400/card+one+sprayed.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next step was to cut it down and adhered the wood element to the paper. I used glossy accents for this. I slightly offset the element so that that white outlined added as another feature. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5q4CxLdOF9Pg-iNHRDKvmBeVSvVyFdfIbqI3mi4I_ztVo057sTHcfbhVbpZuSr3y_KCaUKSdp2KwA07qHxj6VDi4tHvxzCWqP_kiMpDhGZWNc9kHmPtnvostgMvH8oJL5rjarNnU_SOE/s1600/gluebottle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1125" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5q4CxLdOF9Pg-iNHRDKvmBeVSvVyFdfIbqI3mi4I_ztVo057sTHcfbhVbpZuSr3y_KCaUKSdp2KwA07qHxj6VDi4tHvxzCWqP_kiMpDhGZWNc9kHmPtnvostgMvH8oJL5rjarNnU_SOE/s320/gluebottle.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I digress. Check out this bottle!!! it was in my kit. I quickly filled it with my glossy accents that was unusable because the nozzle was glued closed with my pin attached. Love this bottle. There was a red top one as well, my book binding glue went into that one. Once of projects was saved by this bottle!! But we will talk about that at another time, LOL. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok, I just cut it down added a mat, a sentiment, popped it onto a card, Voila Done!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9pML3i0Ijww2SpsBxK_q2L5U8n-LN5HmLJM6xbwL5dXIBKe55NUeJ6uj9hZ75ayPXt0ZXILX_NP2oRAtGnpFzpOPyiVUECyWkEKOLLXZcQa-omFZHAHjkgWNde8xUoLTduyesM7JigTU/s1600/card+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1353" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9pML3i0Ijww2SpsBxK_q2L5U8n-LN5HmLJM6xbwL5dXIBKe55NUeJ6uj9hZ75ayPXt0ZXILX_NP2oRAtGnpFzpOPyiVUECyWkEKOLLXZcQa-omFZHAHjkgWNde8xUoLTduyesM7JigTU/s320/card+1.jpg" width="270" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wished I had a better picture of this. The spray was a teal blue, metallic and a Gold metallic by Heidi Swapp. It just shimmers. Used a Pink from her line and another brand of gold. All of this blended to form these varied colors. And it just shimmers. I used the pick from the kit for the mat and added a white card base. This is slightly bigger than A2. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Card 2: The Beast!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to emboss the stamp and color the back ground but how to do that. Well I start with white card stock, embossed in clear with versa mark and then blended Distress Oxides into the card stock. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
to my horror, the embossing disappeared!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8oU3yf5l3amJf2hjelkcIb6vET6Lrm0J09QPXvmFnB6TucGCjEatAedrYDxwH3k1U1AfTeiBGKTI1widGHWvkzrR-PCQ48C7z71KGrgxbGL3k9pWEajzmAKD50qONofvGg7fEFXXvo0s/s1600/card+3+background.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1221" data-original-width="1600" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8oU3yf5l3amJf2hjelkcIb6vET6Lrm0J09QPXvmFnB6TucGCjEatAedrYDxwH3k1U1AfTeiBGKTI1widGHWvkzrR-PCQ48C7z71KGrgxbGL3k9pWEajzmAKD50qONofvGg7fEFXXvo0s/s320/card+3+background.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok, well I restamped it in versa mark, and embossed with clear again, but used Watercolor Paper. Rather than blend, I used three different colors and dipped the paper into the ink. Did not work!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Re did the stamping, same paper and this time used Each of the inks separate and used both the oxide and the regular. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmFMr4ysmdBL1ldQMbhMbW3JpK_LRzS2GT3SrEN4YsYOiZySv2oEe5HO08zSY1R_ozZU2-VPwnRuaqOw9C7L0AfW76e8Ihx_qLxiAVdwjua6hQMBYrE8b2pqSD6lKKSr0JXNu26SPGzp8/s1600/ink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1049" data-original-width="1600" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmFMr4ysmdBL1ldQMbhMbW3JpK_LRzS2GT3SrEN4YsYOiZySv2oEe5HO08zSY1R_ozZU2-VPwnRuaqOw9C7L0AfW76e8Ihx_qLxiAVdwjua6hQMBYrE8b2pqSD6lKKSr0JXNu26SPGzp8/s320/ink.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oxide is on the left and regular distress on the right. This is peeled paint. I repeated this with Broken china and Worn lipstick. Let dry and then added more in the areas that needed it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the most accurate for colors. I blended regular distress in to brighten the colors more in some areas. Then I ran it through the MINC and removed all the embossing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The critters are more prominent and crisper. Again this is a better depiction of the the colors. </div>

Close up shows the crispness, looks washed out, but it is the lighting. It is darker and more dramatic like the samples above. </div>

Added a ribbon, mounted it on a pink mat and a tiny fox charm finishes the card. The sentiment was saved for the inside of the card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Card #3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok, that mess from the first trial. Was trimmed down and stamped, added a fox and heat embossed his cute little face. Trimmed down the panel. From the Kit was a pre printed piece in smaller detail, i trimmed this down for the background. Added a doily a flower and ribbon. Finished as a 6X6 square card. Perfect. </div>

<br />
I started by creating a box for the inside to give it some color. Using the box I made a template and cut out my paper.<br />

Assembled, This just slips into the box and will hold the artwork. <br />

<br />
I started out by stamping the image with Ground Expresso Distress Ink. then using the markers as a watercolor, colored them in. Used a fine line black for details. I was after a watercolor/pastel look. <br />
this was then inked further and trimmed down .<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The front panel was a combination of digital and stamping. I used Photoshop and found a font that matched close enough to the kit's for my name and "recipe". Cut this down to match the size of the box and stamped in the apples. This was on White cardstock. I used distress and as little water as possible to color the image. Then Inked it with ground expresso to cut down on the "white glare". <br />
<br />
The cards:<br />

<br />
I created the recipe cards and then imported the digital images onto these cards. I also created a blank card and stamped the fruit. These I colored with distress markers, the same way as the lid. <br />

Lastly I created the dividers. I used left over paper from many kits, cut the tabs and laminated with my Minc.<br />

<br />
These are the dies I used and I am not sure what company produced them. I believe Lawn Fawn. Sizzix has a similar one, <span style="background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #636363; font-family: "avenirregular" , "helvetica neue" , "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Item #656629, folder tab dies. My Favorite things has a similar one as well. </span><br />

Sorry I missed last month. August is a busy month in the horse show world. Shows, getting ready to travel to Nationals in early September.

Marvy or Momento Markers and stamps. I have to say the best results from this technique is red rubber. To watch a video of the actual process, here is one to start, <a href="https://youtu.be/4mQPcCGM1gc">Ai, basic stamping for watercolor effect</a> . For more just google Art Impressions Watercolor on YouTube. They have a whole line of stamps and many videos showing step by step. I do it different, less "fluffy" and vary the technique a bit, but you will develop your own style. My best is not with markers. To see how I usually use this technique, here is a video I made years ago with Twinkling H2os. <a href="https://youtu.be/IRYC9lfr3B8">My video</a>, enjoy.<br />
<br />
Ok lets get to it. <br />
<br />
I use Strathmore Water color paper and cut down to 5X6, this gives me room to cut down to size. I do not tape down my paper ever, my heat gun is my friend. Not needed with markers though. <br />

I generally create mask for the larger images. Also, when using stamps that are not designed specifically for this technique it is easier to manage where they go. <br />
<br />

and a few oopses, LOL. Isn't that why we do this, for the challenge. <br />
<br />
Once images are complete. I go back in with a black marker and other markers to put back in the detail. I do not like the "vagueness of this technique". So here are a few images of various stages in the process.<br />
<br />

Ok, Card 1 is probably the simplest.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I haven't done this with markers for a long time, and could not quite get my brain to work. As you can see the lemons are not in the basket. Oh well. Still looks ok and is clean and simple. Added a sentiment, in black with clear embossing, matted on red card stock, then an A2 card base in white. Perfect for a quick not to drop in mail. I should do that!!!. Need to sign and date. Don't forget that step, LOL. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like this card. The apples and the saying are a perfect combo. Again simple and clean, no fuss. Stamped sentiment, embossed in clear. Mounted on a purple mat and finally onto an A2 White Card base. Signed! but no date. I will fix that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Card 3:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a what if card. Seemed redundant to keep repeating the same technique so I created one!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Started out by inking the stamp with the marker and then randomly (well not really, but close) to my water color paper. Then i poured on some water and let it run, dabbed it up with a paper towel and used a brush to soften. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Interesting, so I continued to fuss until I liked it and then stamped my words. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVZcy4Pz9CnU43K_lLS6moi1zFpYZXuFroXA3uqYyHstSdjNr9Vklw2a7GOyLFH_RZVVQYvnXGzOv1NBjvIIuIJ8fiBDZ4vdQOhhK2POoa1kFLz1vjV_TT3acjbfhLSi7OnQxmoc_7Ig/s1600/card+3+background.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="778" data-original-width="1600" height="155" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVZcy4Pz9CnU43K_lLS6moi1zFpYZXuFroXA3uqYyHstSdjNr9Vklw2a7GOyLFH_RZVVQYvnXGzOv1NBjvIIuIJ8fiBDZ4vdQOhhK2POoa1kFLz1vjV_TT3acjbfhLSi7OnQxmoc_7Ig/s320/card+3+background.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I stamped the images along the bottom. But they did not show up and the brown ink blended when I added water. Oh now what. Distress markers and inks to the rescue. Fortunately for this step I had used my Misti, so lining up was not a problem Inked the images in Ground espresso, wiped off some areas where I knew there should not be a harsh line, also lightening the ink and stamped. I was ready to trash it, so what the heck. OK not bad. Then I resumed using the markers, but distress this time and re-inked each stamp with appropriate color and stamped. Still too light. OK, I just took the ink pads and made puddles and painted in the images. I could have used the marker, but it is faster and easier to get a big blob of ink with the pads. Once happy, went back in with either the markers or a black fine liner and added detail. Not the best. But when it was finished the overall effect is fine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly I trimmed, mounted it onto a card base from the kit. Added brads, some ribbon and an embellishment. Makes me think of a sign at a Farmer's Market. </div>

This is the simplest of the 3. I used a stamp and stamped the frame. </div>

Here is stamped and cut out using a craft knife. I colored it with Distress in Worn Lipstick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This stamp was from "Boardwalk, June 2016".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All that was left was to finish it. Using paper from this month's kit: "Vintage Botany" and the stamps from the same kit Attached everything to a white a2 card base. The sentiment is from "Weathered Florals, 2013". See how it bows in the middle. Stamped and embossed and cut the tails, then using a pencil gently curled it, like curling ribbon. The ends are held down by glue does, adding interest and dimension. </div>

Have I mentioned how much I love red rubber unmounted stamps, well I do. For this reason, with a good sharp pair of scissors and I can make these babies do what ever I want, well almost, LOL. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway. I cut right up to the stamp making sure straight. Then using the grid lines on my stamp, placed the stamp onto the block. All that is left is to use the grid lines and the edge of the paper for perfect stamping.</div>

Heat embossed in gold and using a trimmer, cut the outside down to finished size, and a craft knife for the center. Inked the panel in Gather twigs. To give the picture from look, I adhered acetate to the opening, Added artwork from our last kit, "Vintage Botany". The stamp for the frame came from."Sunflowers, 2016". </div>

Started out with the sentiment, stamped in Black Versafine and the heat embossed in clear. Used a circle die to get the "top line", scissors finished it off. Joy was also stamped and embossed and cut with the same circle die. This sentiment also came from "sunflowers, August 2016".</div>

Here is another look and I'll go over the details. After I used the angle of the corner to shape the "Just image". Cut a mat out of gold card stock to back the circle. The final touch was abalone buttons, stacked on top of each other and threaded through with a gold thread. This was all placed onto a green card base, also from Vintage Botany. Stunning I think!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Card 3, now this was a bit of a challenge and the final card needs redone, but the process is the important point here. </div>

Ok, but lets talk about where I messed up and when I redo this, will remember. I should have done all my coloring and background blending before inking the fly lines. Everything started to smear. I redid the piece, with this in mind all was well, until I added the distress around the edges and dropped my ink dauber on the still wet bee. Tried to fix it, and that is where we are. OK, well somethings are not meant to be, but I needed this card, and I was out of time. So I finished it. I tried to cover up the "booboos" and ended up running the ink more and making more booboos. But you get the idea, This is a lovely design and will be finished at another point in time. </div>

Here is a good view, no booboos in sight. I use white to accent and give that folksy hand drawn impression. The stamps do the work, you just need to add dots and scribbles to turn in into yours. </div>

Just to let you know what else I did to this. It was colored with Copics, Inked and blended background with Distress, in Broken China. I used Wink of Stella on the bugs, as well as a shimmer pen. The dots of dimension are the Nuvo Crystal drops in white and clear, This is what made my ink and my copics run. Will not use them near a colored image in the future or least will spray a fine mist of acrylic sealer first. I think I might also try collage medium and see if that works to prevent the bleed. Not all of the inked lines bled, I used several different pens. The one I know bled was my Sakura micro tip and sharpie brand. The bow covers the biggest tragedy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The card base was a wood grain paper I had. I used Distress Ink in Gathered twigs and scored to create look of paneling. I was going for window view effect. Overall, there needs to be more color. Perhaps the frame needed to be darker or different. Some pink or other color was needed to balance this out. I think I will use a plant with flowers and see what that does. But the point here is how to create your own artwork using stamps. This is my favorite technique and one I don't often share. Perhaps I should, at least the process is one I find rewarding, .. . . . . . . .

Close up of the closure. <br />
<br />
This album is unique in that it opens long ways.<br />

There are many instructions for making albums, I will link the sources I used and share the details that make this unique. But , the important thing is where did the inspiration come from. The title of my blog is a hint that every thing I make is a "little bit" of this and that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So lets talk about the design process first. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had my first inspiration while walking through a craft show and seeing Tim Holtz demoing the distress crayons. I have those, and try as might, they never do what I want. Well, maybe he could help overcome this deficit. So I listened and I talked to him, and AhAh, I needed something to seal my paper so the color would move. OK, good salesman he is, and off I went to fine a shiny new hair of Collage Medium. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next piece of inspiration came from Karen, with this: <a href="http://clubscrap.com/retreat-2016-atc-wallet/">2016-atc-wallet</a>, Mmmm, what could I do with this, I don't do ATC but love the look, the almost box like shape, mmmmmmm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I read the name of this months kit: Vintage Botany. Immediately I thought of Vintage Seed Packets, Boxes for tools, The "look" and the color. An idea started to form. An album but as a Seed Collection Wallet, or folder of some type. I remember from my days in the Emergency Department, we used these little paper folders to collect debris, hair, etc. Would something like that work?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I received an email with a video blurb from Einat Kessler, <a href="http://einatkessler.com/create-interactive-file-folder-mini-album/">File Folder Minii Album</a>. In this posting she used a folder system for her travel portfolio /suitcase. And the concept developed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So lets look at the details. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started with the file folders. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Easy!! Take a 12X 12 paper and on one edge make a mark at 4" and 8", scoot down and make the same 2 marks ago. Turn Paper and make 2 sets of marks at 3" and 9". Draw lines to connect the dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut out the corners. Now you have 4 flaps with a 4X6 inch center.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Score on the pencil line and 1/8" away twice. Repeat this for all 4 sides of the box. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhELiW6Qyvx6CYs_9uXtZexo21iTGlVMI32pF1gmWdhpvvawsCX2qxofK_xYV8SRsUWZ0yaUxMPb0cMherRUlwF2BG9VHG7nVma5MbLmQISAKai8hNPcAuGP8uSHnwIJVj3R-3Y5gY2bqk/s1600/covering+folders.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1431" data-original-width="1600" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhELiW6Qyvx6CYs_9uXtZexo21iTGlVMI32pF1gmWdhpvvawsCX2qxofK_xYV8SRsUWZ0yaUxMPb0cMherRUlwF2BG9VHG7nVma5MbLmQISAKai8hNPcAuGP8uSHnwIJVj3R-3Y5gY2bqk/s320/covering+folders.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cover the inside of each of the flaps and center with paper. Turn over and cover the outside four flaps, leaving center clear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Repeat this for 2 folder systems. OK, recaps. You have 2 pages, cut out as shown and scored and both covered on both sides, but the outside center box is bare. With me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
OK, now we make the spines. Get out that grid ruler and measure your center box. It should be 4X6 from first score line to score line on opposite side, if not, just adjust the measures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, mine was 4x6, I decided to give a 1/4 inch ease around so, 3.5 X 5.5 plus one inch on the edge for the spine, so was my starting measure 3.5 X 6.5 I cut 3 papers, this side. Scored the first one, one inch from edge, then next 1.5 and the last 2.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here they are scored. For the first set I scored on the long side. </div>

Stack and staple them together. This is attached to the center panel, I place my close to the right edge and centered top to bottom. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the second step, I repeated, this step, but wanted the spines to be at the top and open down. Measured as before, only now it is 3.5 " X how far down the page the first will go + 1".. I only wanted it to cover 1/2 of the 5.5 inches, so my paper was 3.5 X 5" scored the same 1", 1.5 " and 2". This will go to top of page</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All that was left was to cover the spines, adding folders, papers, envelops in various configurations to create the "guts". There are many blogs and ideas out there to make these into an album. I just started covering and adding. Here are a few of what I did.</div>

Ok onto the the album cover. I used Karens Video and directions but changed out the measurements. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My folders are roughly 4.25 X 6.25 when full and closed. (they bloom a little)..So I wanted a 1/2 inch all around. So I cut 2 chipboard pieces 4.75 X 7.75. I needed the spines. The bottom spine was 1.75 the top spine 2.25. All were 4.25 inches long. This gives a room for the top to fold over and make a box. The front piece is 4.75 X 3.5 and cut out the corners. Assemble per Karens video. The one difference was that I needed to splice 2 12X12 pages together as my project was closer to 23" long with turn over. I did this with score tape. In hind site, I should have just bought some Kraft wrapping paper, next time. </div>

Ok Album finished. inside and out. (file folders not added). Coated the entire thing with Collage Medium and decoupaged the Seed Packet images that I had printed off the internet at 300dpi. I created the :"Seeds for thought" tag, in Photoshop using the fonts suggested for this kit and decoupage this to the flap. Then I just needed patience to let it all dry. And don't rush this, it must be thoroughly dry. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next step was to color and enhance the cover with Distress crayons. The nice thing is if you don't like it, just wipe off and start again. The Collage Medium is a great product. Lastly I Stenciled the above the saying with paste and the stencil included in the Kit. When I scraped off the past in areas I did not want it, the crayon was removed. I liked it and left tin. Then let it dry and then colored with the crayons some more. Final step was to add some distress ink to the edges. </div>

Now, all that was needed was a handle, which I made from twine and added my signature and date on the bottom. Once finished, I used the scraps and leftovers to make the tags. Had I done this first I would have run out of paper. </div>

I did use a velcro dot to hold my folders closed and then adhered them into their place on the inside. </div>

Well I did and I would like to share those final techniques in this post. There are many more things that can be done with foiling, but I am focusing on general techniques and then we can explore in future post how to incorporate these into your projects. Lets start with a photo or two. <br />

This technique combines foil, glitter and die cuts. Are you ready.<br />
<br />
Lets us look at what we need first:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA2Vx90FVTPh6wuRMePgat3On1g6Kz3qDChFP0TkPgCYRvUeKl2QhnMrInG54uNMFGikF3pU5DgCOty15BobBTA26MfaP532I0KDOk51_2UQ4meMmhZ19rVjCDmWJoaKLliNeZheH8YXY/s1600/product.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA2Vx90FVTPh6wuRMePgat3On1g6Kz3qDChFP0TkPgCYRvUeKl2QhnMrInG54uNMFGikF3pU5DgCOty15BobBTA26MfaP532I0KDOk51_2UQ4meMmhZ19rVjCDmWJoaKLliNeZheH8YXY/s320/product.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
A die of some type. In the examples I used a die from Hero Arts, .<a href="https://www.ellenhutson.com/hero-arts-dies-butterfly-confetti/">butterfly-confetti</a>, Tim Holtz, <a href="https://www.ellenhutson.com/sizzix-thinlits-dies-paper-cut-bird-by-tim-holtz/">paper-cut-bird-</a> but any die will work with the technique, even single dies as we will see later.<br />
<br />
Need a sheet of 2 sided adhesive; Here is what I learned about this. The first time I tried this, I did not have any sheets, just tape. So I covered my paper with the wide taper. But the line show. I left it on my desk and worked around it, and the longer it sat and was moved or covered by "things" the more obvious the line became. So I bought the sheets and repeated with stellar success.<br />
<br />
The third and most important part is the backing sheet from "something". I used the backing from a magnet sheet for my first try, then I moved to just using the backing from the sheet of double sided tape. All that is left is glitter, foil and imagination. <br />
<br />
READY.<br />
<br />
I started out by die cutting the backing sheet.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

applied the 2 sided tape to my card stock, removed the backing sheet and laid this over the sticky surface. Burnished down with another piece of the backing sheet.. DONT TOUCH the sticky.<br />

added white glitter or glitter of your choice, I used Elizabeth Craft, Warm Diamond Microfine. and burnish in.<br />
<br />
Carefully remove the mask. This is the hardest part, just be patient and if you don't rip it, you can reuse.<br />
<br />
OK, for the first example I started with the bird.<br />

Be stingy with laying down the glitter and burnish it in as you go, don't remove the excess yet.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

All that is left is to lay down foil, rub in hard and remove the sheet, repeat with different colors until all finished. Then brush away the rest of the bird glitter, and add more white glitter the the whole card, burnish in, and finish your card. Easy!!!<br />
<br />
Lets look at the rest:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With this card no Foil. I just used different colors of glitter and filled in the die cuts. If you double click you can get a picketer and see how the mask is with the glitter. In this example. I did not remove the mask first, just filled in the holes, burnished down, then removed mask and added white glitter. I thought this was just too busy so. . . . . . . .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

after removing the backing paper, I placed individual die cuts onto the sticky surface. Added white glitter to the background and then removed the mask. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then I applied foil to the butterflies. See those "smudge dots" they were an accident. Where I put my finger to hold down the foil while I burnished, left these dots. I liked them so when I was done went back and added more. This is why you have to use glitter after finishing. The sticky surface is still slightly tacky when done. That final glitter fixes that. Also after cutting this down to size, the sides will be tacky. I just dipped them in glitter and burnished but baby powder would work too. <br />
<br />
All that was left was to make the cards. <br />
<br />
All were matted with a gold paper that matched the butterfly tags in this month's Club Scrap Kit, Vintage Botany. The butterfly cards were placed on A2 card bases. The bird was matted in addition to the gold with the purple paper from this months kits and then onto a white card base. Ribbon also came from Vintage Botany.<br />

OK the kit for the month is Pattern Play. To be honest I never got beyond the stamps. They are fabulous and for the techniques I am going to share, they can't be beat!! <br />
<br />
To continue our exploration of foiling, I tried several different methods and would like to share them with you. This is where we move foiling away from the laminator onto the stamp table. Are you ready. Well here is just a glimpse of what is to come!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I tried 3 different glues and am going to share some surprising results. <br />
<br />
Process: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Take glue and apply to stamp. I used 3 different glues. The first I tried was this one:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZXWJJAxjDM7Pmkgh9JNom5vjWcyV1_h7y9rtnqZnuDOst4Cy4iP4e65t3MpXALijXj6jXk-Z0EXbzq33JxfUtCpGKTaouDwhev06tU4b59uQxwL9ZfpkjB52D9GrMVzU7dlIjanQmNbE/s1600/nuvo+pen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="629" data-original-width="1600" height="125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZXWJJAxjDM7Pmkgh9JNom5vjWcyV1_h7y9rtnqZnuDOst4Cy4iP4e65t3MpXALijXj6jXk-Z0EXbzq33JxfUtCpGKTaouDwhev06tU4b59uQxwL9ZfpkjB52D9GrMVzU7dlIjanQmNbE/s320/nuvo+pen.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The second was Indie Glue: this one came with a gilding flake kit I bought years ago and<br />
<br />

Mount It by Club Scrap. Surprise!! The same glue we use for our unmounted stamp is an amazing technique products. <br />
<br />

For the Indie Glue and Mount it, I squeezed it onto a acrylic block and used a sponge applicator to apply to the stamp. You have to work fast with all of them or you will glue your stamp to the paper. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi5ImI0GjTGXThmU1jwSg1pw2fBowH1e94MPUQOyKjNVqNQp_l0qCuvGIfF2vgTiv5zVl7vw8t7nk7LyFXPmCBbwSqTMtAfn48B7YIeTx95PnolAE2qEmWBV0LzUcW2ya-PlTKerpZvdg/s1600/stamped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi5ImI0GjTGXThmU1jwSg1pw2fBowH1e94MPUQOyKjNVqNQp_l0qCuvGIfF2vgTiv5zVl7vw8t7nk7LyFXPmCBbwSqTMtAfn48B7YIeTx95PnolAE2qEmWBV0LzUcW2ya-PlTKerpZvdg/s320/stamped.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Stamped it onto the paper. I did this with several stamps and the 3 glues. Let them dry and took care to clean my stamps well when finished. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For the foiled cards, I just placed the foil, shiny or colored side up and burnished with a bone folder. <br />
<br />
I decided to play with my gilding flakes while I was at it and for several of the cards gilded them. Did not photo this part as I was covered in flakes and glue and did not want to decorate my camera!!<br />
<br />
That is all there is to it!! Now lets look at the results.<br />

This is the only Indie the worked out. After several failures, I threw the bottle of glue out too!!<br />
<br />
The biggest surprise was how well the Mount IT worked.<br />

While still a bit sketchy, they are more solid, and the shine is marvelous!! This worked so well, I inked up the stamps again with Mount It and using Gilding flakes, created this assortment.<br />

Gorgeous !!! In person they are rich and with texture and interest. <br />
<br />
So I needed to make these into cards: I have a total of 12 fronts and chose only a few to finish.<br />
<br />
For the mats: I tried several options.<br />

That is all there is to foiling folks. There is one more technique I tried for this post, but it failed. I need to work on it and will share in a future blog post. After this we should be foiling masters!!</div>

Well this months challenge was to created a single layer card, plus photo from any kit. OH MY!! One layer, get out your thinking cap, I sure had to. After much thought I decided to focus on a technique that I love. I did this as my first post with Club Scrap, never since, so with all the renewed interest in foiling of late, seemed a good opportunity to visit this again. So for this challenge, I stuck with the basics. For the blog hop I am going to explore other more interesting techniques for foiling, so stay tuned. But before we dive in, lets make sure we know how we got here and how to start over. So, you should have arrived from: <a href="http://sweeetdesignsbycheryl.blogspot.com/2017/06/club-scrap-june-artist-team-challenge.html">Cheryl</a>, or start over <a href="http://clubscrap.com/?p=77428&preview=true">Click Here</a>.<br />

These cards are hard to photograph. So, I took several pics of each one so you can get a better idea. All were made with the same technique and from start to finish, had 12 card fronts in less than one hour. All that was left was to attach them to card fronts.<br />
<br />
<br />
So lets look at the technique and then the cards. <br />
<br />
Supplies: A laser printer, a laminator, foil and card stock. I used digital images from Club Scrap June kit. As far as the laminator, I used the MINC, but any laminator will work. You need to play with the settings and might need a shim. But the idea is the toner from the laser printer is melted to adhere the foil. Simple, heat, pressure, voila, Magic. <br />
<br />
<br />
Step one: I always start by creating a toner sheet. In my application that I used for drawing or photo editing and any word processing program, draw a rectangle the size of your paper, fill with black and print. You now have a white sheet with a big black rectangle. This will be used to "glue down the foil". <br />
<br />
Step 2: Print your images on White card stock with a laser printer. That is all folks.<br />
<br />
Step 3: Run your foil and printed paper through the laminator.<br />

I used an image, turned it into a stamp in photoshop, stamped to create a pattern and printed it. Laminated with gold foil and got this. In a previous post, I reviewed how to created stamps from digital images in photoshop <a href="http://josettetrunnell.blogspot.com/2017/03/club-scrap-artist-team-challenge-digi.html">Digital Delight</a>.<br />
<br />
Step 4:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAOG51oocGk6bEDj-l5buWSa78-RK8veOworJgGjOYpXWH78aTXepbSpdQ5RRAeYnAx-jZbl0y6S9w_ZMf3yr0hJvYogmOnupzQUKQFovDCP0TZ-395BihqhGxEW8MomUVD7ElC1UHOBs/s1600/reverse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAOG51oocGk6bEDj-l5buWSa78-RK8veOworJgGjOYpXWH78aTXepbSpdQ5RRAeYnAx-jZbl0y6S9w_ZMf3yr0hJvYogmOnupzQUKQFovDCP0TZ-395BihqhGxEW8MomUVD7ElC1UHOBs/s320/reverse.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
When I remove the foil from the card stock, I have this left. I place this over that Toner sheet and now I have the reverse.<br />

First foiled the "left overs" then ran through with gold and created this. This was ran through twice, once with the left over and then with gold foil. </div>

This is my favorite. I used scraps of foil and covered the various starburst images. Love that shine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because I used scraps, I really did not have a "sheet" to place on the toner. But was able to create this from the leftovers.</div>

But first, you should have arrived from <a href="http://jentscrappysideofme.blogspot.com/2017/05/club-scrap-adirondack-blog-hop.html">Jennifer</a> or to start at the beginning <a href="http://clubscrap.com/?p=75135&preview=true">Click here</a>.<br />
<br />
Ok, lets start with Card 1. This is my Fathers Day card. One of my girls will give it to their Dad. I decided I wanted it to look like we were looking through a boat window at the scene. So.. . . . . . . .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZpgxHgM93zHsqpB7cTs_zY3qdAtXhdNK2eZmdwzc2PJu1U33XcsVAA6rhdb7JDrtD1t8Gqpw06vIkCJaW-sC1TIj-CQtqDpgOJSLyC2Dy1UHqSS_BvhyphenhypheniSeoFDJBNRvHPr-VjlH1g0WA/s1600/card+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1568" data-original-width="1384" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZpgxHgM93zHsqpB7cTs_zY3qdAtXhdNK2eZmdwzc2PJu1U33XcsVAA6rhdb7JDrtD1t8Gqpw06vIkCJaW-sC1TIj-CQtqDpgOJSLyC2Dy1UHqSS_BvhyphenhypheniSeoFDJBNRvHPr-VjlH1g0WA/s400/card+1.jpg" width="352" /></a></div>
Not the best photo. The glare from the acetate window messes with my focus. The blue front is a rich denim, but the overall design is pleasing. <br />
<br />
So first I need to make the Window Rim. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrP8QiUTO8o1DlLeoRNSGhl5JrL0bJ4TrVClwUhqw-ogwIWCMxOEXEUZkSq70EKraJQ7P9eOsnZ7lagfaBFlh77KW0CVADCUcgVKpYH7VWlPnW1cPucdQr279tHJgL58G8GSFAfig2SuQ/s1600/dies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrP8QiUTO8o1DlLeoRNSGhl5JrL0bJ4TrVClwUhqw-ogwIWCMxOEXEUZkSq70EKraJQ7P9eOsnZ7lagfaBFlh77KW0CVADCUcgVKpYH7VWlPnW1cPucdQr279tHJgL58G8GSFAfig2SuQ/s320/dies.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Layered several together to get the right look. Then using the smaller die, cut the card and the mat to create the window. cut a piece of acetate with the larger circle, and sandwiched them onto the from tot eh card. Used embellishments from a different kit to create the "window" screws. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuT9JYfyLqfFGr1IwoV3Ef7WR3N7bmGV9Yv9jC8EG9wr4gempNHnbHbcH4Nbk6fsv1athtWMMOQOXTNsHCKFH3YTBzdh_KLv3d5li1grqjx81Zas8bVOLfOsxsqKxCyinObiQqKFkei5o/s1600/template.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuT9JYfyLqfFGr1IwoV3Ef7WR3N7bmGV9Yv9jC8EG9wr4gempNHnbHbcH4Nbk6fsv1athtWMMOQOXTNsHCKFH3YTBzdh_KLv3d5li1grqjx81Zas8bVOLfOsxsqKxCyinObiQqKFkei5o/s320/template.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Took a piece of white card stock and lightly sketched the circle. I used the cutout from from dies as a template. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTD2AuBa3nCr8ly5RjTJBlJb5D33LOvJZTjgM3Gi-zJz0wv-3Fpc3D7K2jQcNlghywqiZAvjQs7bIfBkLaU_k4Qbpi9CMI-qocRGv6Tvuqn7Wtm0x9r8pJaju3fsoGu5XVOaJbfKOWVik/s1600/card+1+closeup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1417" data-original-width="1600" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTD2AuBa3nCr8ly5RjTJBlJb5D33LOvJZTjgM3Gi-zJz0wv-3Fpc3D7K2jQcNlghywqiZAvjQs7bIfBkLaU_k4Qbpi9CMI-qocRGv6Tvuqn7Wtm0x9r8pJaju3fsoGu5XVOaJbfKOWVik/s320/card+1+closeup.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Then I stamped and colored the image.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used several stamps and using a lighter grey ink, stamped them on to the background. Then using a black ink, stamped the bird and heat embossed in clear. Colored the whole scene with copics. Added some black inking to give definition. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is the final, with inking and a sentiment. Signed my name under the bank with the year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This panel is then adhered to the inside of the card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Strong and masculine!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Card 2:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Time to play with those Oxides. It is a love hate relationship, but the more I play the better I like them. They have some properties that make them a challenge as well as fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started by inking a 110# piece of card stock. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I used water to distress, tried to run it through my MINC to remove embossing powder and made a mess. Ok, redo, no water, just a slight mist (2 feet away) to set the ink and no MINC. I am thinking the ink causes the paper to stick, probably wasn't dry, I must remember this ink takes forever to get completely dry. Will try again with this thought another time!!. All that was left was to trim it down to A2 mat size. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly, I die cut a thanks from white card stock added ribbon and rhinestones, Perfect!!! Unisex thank you card. </div>

It is a hard concept to write about, so I will give you the highlights. There are many YouTube videos on this technique. Lets start with the finished card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZAJfPnyDOktPN1m4jlOuM21vq7CoF-4CpzB9suRpKNvHPlow3mv75I0mqpAE24Lurl0gtJrTA5qR8cbntNzhten0IwW6Md41WkvRfEGq-fYb1Vb4bP36UX9INg1Q9l0zXjQjJ5phwIo/s1600/card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1423" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZAJfPnyDOktPN1m4jlOuM21vq7CoF-4CpzB9suRpKNvHPlow3mv75I0mqpAE24Lurl0gtJrTA5qR8cbntNzhten0IwW6Md41WkvRfEGq-fYb1Vb4bP36UX9INg1Q9l0zXjQjJ5phwIo/s400/card.jpg" width="355" /></a></div>
I just love this style of card. I rarely do a card any more with just Copic Coloring and when I saw this mason jar in this month's Club Scrap kit: Adirondacks, I knew just what I wanted it to be!!!<br />
<br />
The bugs in the jar light up. The one thing I love about the South is Fireflies. This brought back fond memories of my childhood and road trip with my grandparents. We headed to Missouri, Iowa and Kansas to visit relatives and I caught a jar full of Fireflies. I left off the lid, and they lit up the camper. It was a sight, but the fact that my grandmothers was not happy with all bugs in the camper is the part I remember best and the amazement of seeing what the little beings can do in a closed space. So here is my tribute.<br />
<br />
I started my planning. With interactive cards it takes trial and error. I did not photo most of the steps, as you will need to do your own experimenting. <br />
<br />
First I stamped the jar and added dots with a pencil where I thought the "lights" would go. I needed my bugs flying in different directions, so. . . . . .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1tOoigzVA_kb_fwWow_dgS77mqqCAliUa0r394WOs-nYlBMrs4NhmB53jN6gILfK4uq4oGPtIBCw73LSVaQe58OLM38u2MNy7IR1uJXnq3I8YSdrr9mXuqppZkeGBFv5u4nyT0fuxkW8/s1600/stamp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1509" data-original-width="1600" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1tOoigzVA_kb_fwWow_dgS77mqqCAliUa0r394WOs-nYlBMrs4NhmB53jN6gILfK4uq4oGPtIBCw73LSVaQe58OLM38u2MNy7IR1uJXnq3I8YSdrr9mXuqppZkeGBFv5u4nyT0fuxkW8/s320/stamp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I cut my stamp with an "arrow" like point at the bottom.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEBosm4yTL1qx8yGWu6mbm5xKKKFXc41NhEUPcyVY7D0Q_OzMXee5IUjvplnOT_ycEF7AQ6pRGGe69hOQ_5RjnfBPh_bVdu31UntQWKgkmqIK8S_vPtbMHyiIGg3jfneqp6kugA1kIfbQ/s1600/map.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1588" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEBosm4yTL1qx8yGWu6mbm5xKKKFXc41NhEUPcyVY7D0Q_OzMXee5IUjvplnOT_ycEF7AQ6pRGGe69hOQ_5RjnfBPh_bVdu31UntQWKgkmqIK8S_vPtbMHyiIGg3jfneqp6kugA1kIfbQ/s320/map.jpg" width="317" /></a></div>
Then I stamped and placed arrows in the direction of the "arrow" on the stamp. And stamped my images in Copic Friendly Ink. Colored the image and then added the ink embellishments. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now I needed to create a circuit for the lights. I punched a hole in the body of the 3 bugs in the jar. <br />
<br />
And on my practice stamped image, drew the lines for the copper tape. <br />
<br />
What did I use: I tried this product.<br />

<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Chibitronics-Lights-Circuit-Stickers-Starter/dp/B00OPSNR94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496000817&sr=8-1&keywords=chibitronics">Chibitronics lights</a><br />
<br />
This is a basic stater kit with the copper wire, battery and lights. I have used other products to this process, but thought this might be an easier option. I am not very happy with it. The lights are not very bright and this caused issues with photographing. In the near future I will show you how to do this without the kit. But this one is popular and has videos on YouTube if you need some helps. <br />
<br />
Any way.<br />
<br />
Circuits are easy. I used a parallel circuit as I needed to have more than one light. <br />
<br />
Started by making a "house for my battery. Look at the battery, it has a + and a - sign on the battery. Run a copper tape from the positive side and one from the negative side. This always gives me pause as one of the tape lines must fold over and connect with one side of the battery. The other line runs to the underside of the battery, whew, I know this is confusing!!<br />
<br />
The tape is flexible, so as long as they don't lay on top of each other no worries.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT05mh4G3J5ggQExfTlJcpA-IwFkA0ZQxO9HCQzYkzGfwSQlGsbSkD0cqcHrEEV18F8dmwKanOHVcUu75QZF5joIRpwK1n9l10aVm_8LyMoUzs7YVq3abSBhtCX9n26skArmqP-770-wE/s1600/th-2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="109" data-original-width="145" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT05mh4G3J5ggQExfTlJcpA-IwFkA0ZQxO9HCQzYkzGfwSQlGsbSkD0cqcHrEEV18F8dmwKanOHVcUu75QZF5joIRpwK1n9l10aVm_8LyMoUzs7YVq3abSBhtCX9n26skArmqP-770-wE/s400/th-2.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
The battery is under the clip. The outside line moves onto the top of the battery and the inside line is under the battery. Note if the + is on the top or bottom. Then just lay the lights to coincide with the correct positivity.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2WOnNTmHE_Qk3xZ14FxjsBeT5qrvejDUt68l2Y_g35-wJOIboVcHNAlbXTu0Mg__NHoSxORw6HqtzJhcyHTfvSwlMzzZlm_Nhseo3bEqnj9b44d7XzT5oJX-hFy5yQVXuRzuENdekHjo/s1600/circuit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1237" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2WOnNTmHE_Qk3xZ14FxjsBeT5qrvejDUt68l2Y_g35-wJOIboVcHNAlbXTu0Mg__NHoSxORw6HqtzJhcyHTfvSwlMzzZlm_Nhseo3bEqnj9b44d7XzT5oJX-hFy5yQVXuRzuENdekHjo/s320/circuit.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
<br />
Mine would not stick, so I cut additional tape to "glue it down. In the left corner you can see it going under and around the battery. I built up the edge with phone tape, so I had "room" to press the corner into the battery, thus my lights only show up when pressed. Double click to get a better look. <br />
<br />
On the front of the card, I placed the lid over the battery with a note to press here, Voila, the bugs light up. I just wish I could have figured out how to get a photo of the lights.<br />
<br />

Another look!!,, I added some rhinestones to the background. a tag that I made to look like it was tied to the lid and mounted it on a blue mat and A2 white card base. I love this card and the magic when it lights up is worth it!! <br />

This is fun. I used Distress Oxide and then regular Distress, to create the background.<br />

I started by stamping and embossing Happy Birthday in white in the center. Hard to see here. Then I used versa mark. For this example I used a dirty ink pad so you could see how it is arranged. On the final I actually used a clean pad. I also was testing for placement. This was done on Tim Holtz water color paper. <br />
<br />
Next, I started with Oxide ink in Worn Lipstick and Broken china.<br />

First I smeared the ink on a piece of plastic then misted with water until it was "gooey". Then placed it over the card and smeared in. <br />

After Dry, I sponged on Picked Raspberry and Mermaid Lagoon from the original Distress line. Not bad. The first on looks nice in the picture. But in life, it was flat and not very interesting. That is one of my issues with the Oxide, it lacks that spark we are used to with the original. It looks "velvety". that look we are use to with chalk inks, not my favorite. But here I get both, deep rich color with a punch. ..<br />

After Dry (well this was not entirely true), I trimmed it to size and Voila, that bottom edge tore. Oh my, well let's just distress the whole thing. Not bad.<br />
<br />
Time to get this thing done!<br />
<br />
<br />
There was a stamp with the same kit that is music notes. I stamped, scanned and cut with my Brother Scan n Cut. <br />

Not the best pic, the foil reflects the light, but you get the idea. I popped this up on glue dots. <br />
<br />
Final step was to add a sentiment and a few embellishments.<br />
<br />
Another look and a list of kits:<br />

White card base, A2 size: The Happy Birthday and Music Note was from "The Blues 2015"<br />
Happy Birthday to you: "Celebrate January 2016" and the embellishments from Color me Happy, January 2017".<br />

Card 2:<br />

This one was inspired by the Technique Challenge for this month. Thank you Roni. It was to create a border from a stamp. I started by following her directions, but that was too much scissor time for me so:::::: I tried something different and it worked!<br />

Started by stamping one side plus the butterfly. Then I turned the card around and stamped the other half of the flowers. This is where I got out my scissors, well that did not work!!<br />
<br />
So I restamped, good thing I left the stamps in my MISTI. Then I scanned and using my Brother Scan n Cut, cut it out. I could not figure out how to only cut the bottom. I was too lazy to go downstairs to get my computer so that I could just cut the bottom edge, and cut both the top and the bottom.<br />

Let me tell you a little secret. The first time I placed the sentiment on the black card space I missed and it was off kilter. so I cut another one, trimmed down the "Messed up one" and glued the whole thing onto the new mat that I cut just a tad bigger. You can't tell and it saved me re-stamping, embossing, die cutting and it even gives a bit more dimension. So now it looks like I planned it to give that little bit of height so I didn't need to back with fun foam. <br />
<br />
Lovely card:: Supplies used:<br />
<br />
Floral stamp was from :"Dahlia, April 2016", Black ribbon and paper for mounting, as well as silver Velum were from "Cherry Blossom,, April 2017. The Sentiment "Crewel and Unusual, February 2016".<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Measured and inked the lines. Stamped and colored the floral and then went back and embossed the black lines with my Scor Pal. Colored the floral and surrounding area with Copic. In hind site, I should have just colored the flowers and not the back ground, ok well, it is the idea we are working o here, so I'll perfect it next time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I die cut the octagon opening. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using score tape I surrounded the octagon and placed over it a piece of tulle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I fussy cut, using a larger octagon another piece of paper, this is one with bees and a honeycomb. Attached a piece of tulle over this. Added sequins and using score tape placed them together, creating a "flat shaker card". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cut a frame using the 2 octagon nested, added a bow with an embellishment,. Lastly mounted on to the card base. Finished!!</div>

Lovely florals and sentiments that are always needed. But first lets get our hopping instructions out of the way. You should have arrived from <a href="http://serendipityandwhimsy.weebly.com/home/april-2017-club-scrap-artist-team-challenge">Jennifer</a> or <a href="http://clubscrap.com/?p=74067&preview=true">Click Here</a> to start at the beginning. <br />

Ok lets start by looking at the stamps. <br />

I decided to stick with one layer simple cards, that are easy to mail. I think I am stuck on pink. I have to tell you a good story about Pink. My daughter is a Paralympian and pink is her trade mark color. Everything is pink, from her wheelchair to her clothes, for both her and her horse. Well, her trainer complained and said she needed to wear red white or blue, pink was just un-American. Her reply: So is Victoria Secret un-American? Seems she is pretty well entrenched in the American Culture. No response, so onward we go with Pink.. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is about as simple as it gets. I used my baby powder trick, see this months blog hop and heat embossed in white. Then using Distress Ink, Worn Lipstick, sponged on with the goal of an ombre effect. Added the Sentiment, a few sequins for bling, done. This was layered on an A2 white Card base. Not much is needed for the happy card!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is my favorite!!! I love it. I used black card stock and Distress Oxide in Wilted violet for the beauty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFWROPA2gcx6oTP6K5bik39Pdlt-YgW078W5ORwd9JTA6hdrJY2FqgdQpU0PzbFk-PoQPSuTck6CXkrHwTD7Nb3qiwr8tcI5Ep8uxY51tzHwCjmsQtJgmHEXF9my4MDkYQaYI2ovOfmmA/s1600/starting+to+stamp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFWROPA2gcx6oTP6K5bik39Pdlt-YgW078W5ORwd9JTA6hdrJY2FqgdQpU0PzbFk-PoQPSuTck6CXkrHwTD7Nb3qiwr8tcI5Ep8uxY51tzHwCjmsQtJgmHEXF9my4MDkYQaYI2ovOfmmA/s320/starting+to+stamp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am starting to stamp here. The thing about oxide, is they need a bit of water to "glow" but the challenge is to get just enough and not have the ink run and ruin the effect. Took some time to get this right. Distance is the key, get a good 2 feet away before spritzing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVEu5ooI4kbdW90pbc_5v67OhGY6pKYsOncncVSG9zKMTMR5RHJJMKZkCpCZKcXBJLNXLBJ5KuT_5BCccvB1qOrru0lquNT_sov-oZ5qqlgAsAGF0kqHcqg0jdXYuVcWuEWmTbsMECew/s1600/flower+background.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVEu5ooI4kbdW90pbc_5v67OhGY6pKYsOncncVSG9zKMTMR5RHJJMKZkCpCZKcXBJLNXLBJ5KuT_5BCccvB1qOrru0lquNT_sov-oZ5qqlgAsAGF0kqHcqg0jdXYuVcWuEWmTbsMECew/s320/flower+background.jpg" width="283" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Background finished and spritzed. Hard to see in the photo, but look at the ends of the flowers, the color difference is the result of water misting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Final steps. Die cut a butterfly, using score tape on the base, then adding the detail cutout in gold and sprinkling with warm diamond micro glitter from Elizabeth Craft. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A sentiment, simple one, a little ribbon and a few rhinestones finishes it off.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a closer look. The Purple, Gold, with white on black is stunning. And well, oops it is not Pink, What was I thinking, Well all the Blog Hop cards were mostly pink, so 5 out of 6 in pink, I'm Good!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This one nearly went into the trash. But maybe we learn from mistakes. Lets take a look and talk about this one.</div>

In this picture it looks nice, up close it looks nice, but when I first finished it, well not. There is a "big" paper crafter that makes the most amazing florals with Real Markers. She makes it look easy. Well guess what , I seriously think photo shop or lighting is a factor. Even when I use the very same paper and follow the same process, it never looks right. Always a little "washed out". That is what happened with this one. So What Happened? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did not want a no line, so I stamped it on Bristol Paper in black and taped down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3KM6z6-k0iBQsMecuFaz-OYxLSec1lXbh8Y966fhAth7IicAPeDDTONZjb0hxw2oBil69nNP0i9b9_G73LvX_t0yy2C34XS8J9n_0OIZoavzaKhri4dJlEezkQlQg5TsT8rvZiS_Na4w/s1600/stamped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3KM6z6-k0iBQsMecuFaz-OYxLSec1lXbh8Y966fhAth7IicAPeDDTONZjb0hxw2oBil69nNP0i9b9_G73LvX_t0yy2C34XS8J9n_0OIZoavzaKhri4dJlEezkQlQg5TsT8rvZiS_Na4w/s320/stamped.jpg" width="302" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Got out my markers and started in with marker and water brush in hand. The ink did not move. This was not going to be soft and watercolored, it was going to look like I took up coloring with markers and no intention of using it. Trash!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Grabbed as many different papers as I could find and tried the markers and water on all of them until I found one that I could move the ink. Turned out to be Aquarell by Canson, not my favorite paper, but the ink sits on top long enough to get it to move. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So!! I grabbed my Distress in Iced Spruce, stamped and started coloring. Oh my Gosh!!!! I grabbed Oxide and not plain distress. It blended and moved and stayed and didn't fade into the background. But, it could be interesting, may be antiqued looking?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I colored on. But I lost all my detail and the flowers were just blobs of pale greyed out blobs. Now what!!!! Fine line markers to the rescue!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I doodled all over them. The black pen is my favorite and was included in last months kit. I also used a purple fine line sharpie . Now it looks like art, not stamping and saved the day. I did float some of the color onto the background. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All that was needed was a little bling, a card Base and Mat. This is also an A@. But I cut the flower panel way down, so more of the mat showed. Not my favorite but definitely not trash can material. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This month the Kit was Cherry Blossom and it is a beauty. Before starting, some housekeeping. You should have arrived from <a href="http://sweeetdesignsbycheryl.blogspot.com/2017/04/club-scrap-cherry-blossom-blog-hop.htm">Cheryl</a> or to start at the beginning, <a href="http://clubscrap.com/0417-blog-hop/">Click here!</a><br />
<br />
This month I decided on not too complicated and hopefully simple. To give a good punch, I added sparkle or shine or both. <br />
<br />
Lets take a look at the line up.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Lets start with Card 1:<br />
<br />
This is my favorite go to background. It is easy and quick but needs a few tricks. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFLkxFAxLBSXVQazG7HpTuwrHrQVXq4N4agNxGNt74VA0AcilYUpVnW4q6vjAzs9oFEOlWw_cnNHttsTzuPIAbs8ZiENz9Orc4FkrL_zqX3JYST_lQGJWK3s8DNManUxY1aK6dQ-R6VvA/s1600/powder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFLkxFAxLBSXVQazG7HpTuwrHrQVXq4N4agNxGNt74VA0AcilYUpVnW4q6vjAzs9oFEOlWw_cnNHttsTzuPIAbs8ZiENz9Orc4FkrL_zqX3JYST_lQGJWK3s8DNManUxY1aK6dQ-R6VvA/s320/powder.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The first trick is to use some form of static reducing method on your card stock. I just dump baby powder on my paper and knock off into the trash. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaA_kWw5RcoC5VMiIC1hYWo7kdbxJ7xEt-8LfTrJSLjdZQuxEaUyuO00h8_7340oBdaBiVNcI-NSOHKS3hKuzTXa-9obnnqVx3hTwuPjPd0WNYEP797Cmp6YcZGg2GLGy6-irhdS_dHns/s1600/embossed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaA_kWw5RcoC5VMiIC1hYWo7kdbxJ7xEt-8LfTrJSLjdZQuxEaUyuO00h8_7340oBdaBiVNcI-NSOHKS3hKuzTXa-9obnnqVx3hTwuPjPd0WNYEP797Cmp6YcZGg2GLGy6-irhdS_dHns/s320/embossed.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Then when I apply my stamping and embossing powder, I get nice clean images. <br />
<br />
This was embossed with versa mark and white embossing powder.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJwZe0X-RtYOghFRCxP3_SKqPWnCFoX20h9U2dkQYGn4OZDXIggXe6iegr-mySf6ZkeuzL8Mx4hz5Lz-VtAB-14I5qFTTI4wFSX2kxrGxeW4dW9v_yoYlYmPV2XHp5Q2GQZVEAslVBePI/s1600/best+background.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJwZe0X-RtYOghFRCxP3_SKqPWnCFoX20h9U2dkQYGn4OZDXIggXe6iegr-mySf6ZkeuzL8Mx4hz5Lz-VtAB-14I5qFTTI4wFSX2kxrGxeW4dW9v_yoYlYmPV2XHp5Q2GQZVEAslVBePI/s320/best+background.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then using Distress oxide ink in Worn lipstick and Wilted Violets, and a blending tool colorized the paper. Then I just sprayed droplets of water to set the and blend the ink, heat dried. Cut it down to size and ready to move to the next step. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using a die, I cut the background die out of cardstock with score tape on one side, Cut the detail die out of black and attached this to the score taped background die and added white micro glitter and burnished in. Then using copics colored the glitter. Very sparkly and is bold enough to stand out on that busy background. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4o1RtqsbAMgQAE-eQNlRhwnbgG298cY3L5CNNNIyo6NFzj_OOD3yC4zbdajD1Q6A-YcVL4mCRVXKOlre_eq957KNaMGcXQs4qepPezhuXUYbT1odu0fJI1rsFY7NOh0xB3NTzJkolrgc/s1600/card+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4o1RtqsbAMgQAE-eQNlRhwnbgG298cY3L5CNNNIyo6NFzj_OOD3yC4zbdajD1Q6A-YcVL4mCRVXKOlre_eq957KNaMGcXQs4qepPezhuXUYbT1odu0fJI1rsFY7NOh0xB3NTzJkolrgc/s320/card+2.jpg" width="279" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is another view showing the back ground better, there are sequins and a fan from the kit. No sentiment on the front, the kimono needs to be the focus. This was mounted on a purple mat (included in kit) and a white A2 card base, with black ribbon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok, now for Card 2:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizyy0DDG0Y7iJ84VO7IRJpHWQPXk_pMNiqVH0hVqkbQhYwhx0SUUYo0YDh518t5Y5t6fgyjwyD4p1a_l9yfaGBDlLqVWPhQ1PlOtnGEk5ueD6xp_P6ERXcjEoNRVJz3P_EEvHXyI9P_7c/s1600/card+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizyy0DDG0Y7iJ84VO7IRJpHWQPXk_pMNiqVH0hVqkbQhYwhx0SUUYo0YDh518t5Y5t6fgyjwyD4p1a_l9yfaGBDlLqVWPhQ1PlOtnGEk5ueD6xp_P6ERXcjEoNRVJz3P_EEvHXyI9P_7c/s320/card+2.jpg" width="303" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Another very simple card. White card base, A2 Size, top folded. Mat is the soft cherry blossom paper from the kit. Difficult to see here as very subtle. Again the Kimono is the focus. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBOzTo4fvzumC8DqferKES9B-XaQ69E-CkntA5dot_rHY_LWkvE6cKFWDyKOIoLQeCKcWaQ7HNa13gMSQeCWo1E8G3_1gHhI2IxaKyOwqSsho1wSn22K5_BEwaK1ZAGe-qqJQ4zWdsq5I/s1600/fussy+cut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBOzTo4fvzumC8DqferKES9B-XaQ69E-CkntA5dot_rHY_LWkvE6cKFWDyKOIoLQeCKcWaQ7HNa13gMSQeCWo1E8G3_1gHhI2IxaKyOwqSsho1wSn22K5_BEwaK1ZAGe-qqJQ4zWdsq5I/s320/fussy+cut.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Stamped, heat embossed in clear and fussy cut out the images. Now if you think I am a genius with scissors, I have to confess. These were cut out with my Brother Scan N Cut. Oh how I love that little machine. Has made my life so much easier and saved me from scissor phobia, lol. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG0Cw_xbzs1PSi1pA6EyDCbErq1D34iMtGrp9B83hucjJ9GmJQ-y5oHuxYssiP8gsrRzRjqLnuYHxEuCBm4wbW9dau4_Daqc30z0vUN8IsBhPgOCNj2TLhx70WQUmyfKOvkSQKWwh-naU/s1600/kimono+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG0Cw_xbzs1PSi1pA6EyDCbErq1D34iMtGrp9B83hucjJ9GmJQ-y5oHuxYssiP8gsrRzRjqLnuYHxEuCBm4wbW9dau4_Daqc30z0vUN8IsBhPgOCNj2TLhx70WQUmyfKOvkSQKWwh-naU/s320/kimono+.jpg" width="269" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5ac7V6ufYswSthKlKhhztU6oZvA4KusL9xynzunguSlNJKFbjmxSbO-1iarkccv_KudhmJ9_03Zgv-CBlBdwyrq4ecIQDeEmlt2tbigR_ehyRm9e2akEgBNuF2pNJkZuYB79eIA1TRlk/s1600/umbrellas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5ac7V6ufYswSthKlKhhztU6oZvA4KusL9xynzunguSlNJKFbjmxSbO-1iarkccv_KudhmJ9_03Zgv-CBlBdwyrq4ecIQDeEmlt2tbigR_ehyRm9e2akEgBNuF2pNJkZuYB79eIA1TRlk/s320/umbrellas.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Next I colored them with Copics. To get that linen/silk look, I used Nuvo Mousse to color in the white areas. This gives a bit of gilding without overwhelming the image. I tried coloring in the whole Kimono with copics, but it did not "feel right", this works.<br />
<br />
All that was left was to mount this onto the card base, add the sentiment, and stickers of Cherry Blossom. Happy Anniversary is stamped on the inside and more stickers finish it off. <br />
<br />
Card 3:<br />
<br />
This is the most stunning and again very simple, well it was once I figured out the details.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMSz5gS7OPxybzm_B8ZMuaFfG3z5lUzA4Hbz1XS7QJ5icgylaKUppYYm8f6mSwMR7-zBVpE91J-N3dEX3h3EjKrzVjxq1D1oqfUYFdjcpIapphaWpfVe7ABty-1Ktz21tV_fbY7U59jB8/s1600/tree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMSz5gS7OPxybzm_B8ZMuaFfG3z5lUzA4Hbz1XS7QJ5icgylaKUppYYm8f6mSwMR7-zBVpE91J-N3dEX3h3EjKrzVjxq1D1oqfUYFdjcpIapphaWpfVe7ABty-1Ktz21tV_fbY7U59jB8/s400/tree.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />This view shows the glimmer back ground paper and the big flower. The upper photo (at the beginning of the post) gives a better picture of the details.<br />
<br />
Anyway. I played with punches and dies and finally settled on these.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Cherry blossoms have 5 petals and that little notch. I used the punch, and scissors to make the notch. Used a stylus to curl the petals, glued down and then added a sticker to the center. Voila! Cherry Blossoms. The big die was used for the single large flower at the front, cut out a stamen and added a very small sticker to the center. The branch was created by using the digital file from Club Scrap and cutting it out with my Brother Scan n Cut. <br />
<br />
All was placed on a 5X7 card base in white, with a pink card stock and silver Vellum mats (from the kit). I mixed the gold and silver to give interest. Silver mat, gold stickers, gold mat, coin and ribbon. A very elegant card, that was mailed as soon as the ink was dry to my oldest daughter for her Birthday. Lovely card in person. The photos do not do it justice. It is simple and elegant. The paper I used for the flowers was a Pink Vellum of similar type as the Silver paper for the mat. The entire mat is held in place with glue dots so to prevent the adhesive showing through.<br />
<br />

What could be better than Cherry Blossoms in April. With the Asian Flair, the minute I opened my box, I thought of my Kimono Die that I only used once, long ago. <br />
<br />
So lets take a look:<br />

Using the paper at the top, I laid a die along the umbrellas and die cut. Then trimmed it down to fit onto an A2 card base. The Card base is white and I layered the grey shimmering velum (included in the kit behind. Using the same dye cut a white piece that fit above the curve and stamped a sentiment.</div>

This is how I get my stamps to curve. I cut a little wedge where ever it is trying to buckle and then formed it to the curve. Stamped, and added happy on top.</div>

All that was left was to finish the Kimono. This took some trial and error. I wanted it soft and delicate but bold enough to stand out. Ended up with the pink paper in the kit and gold foil tape both ran through the die cutter and layered. This die is from Elizabeth Craft and after doing a search, learned it is no longer available, but her stickers are still available and are the same design. <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0077/4562/products/2517.jpg?v=1491433228">Kimono Sticker</a>.

<br />
Finally I am going to post the Interactive Card I made with the Succulent Kit from Club Scrap. The mechanism we will be using is the V-Fold. This is one of the most basic of mechanisms but is very impressive in its final form. Adding to this we will be using the Parallelogram from a previous posting to build up our Bouquet. This is the link to the previous posting <a href="http://josettetrunnell.blogspot.com/2017/01/dragonfly-wings-interactive-card-pop.html">dragonfly-wings-interactive-card-pop-up</a>, but don't panic this is a very simple step. Basically as trip of paper with tabs.<br />

Are you ready, this is really simple, just looks complicated.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBOkskMmmT88TxYLAESJcAxp6MLojGaHeniu2x_pBRPFcvHgmSJg16nxeph35dBUIm9WsxPLnIePZcLvnUDqriu2EZ-2OTTvSfduHTFS38lP-SeSRL3o3NOWo8zH7kan05WwNz76Y-gpU/s1600/th.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBOkskMmmT88TxYLAESJcAxp6MLojGaHeniu2x_pBRPFcvHgmSJg16nxeph35dBUIm9WsxPLnIePZcLvnUDqriu2EZ-2OTTvSfduHTFS38lP-SeSRL3o3NOWo8zH7kan05WwNz76Y-gpU/s1600/th.jpeg" /></a></div>
This is the basic mechanism. A folded piece of card, with notches formed to create tabs. The center fold is placed in the Gutter, center fold of card. How far apart or rather how much angle is created when the tabs are glued, determine how upright or how laid down the mechanism will be. <br />
<br />
So with this concept I created this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8uN1dyfgLwd_A_vs2IDvqx1R7JpN6ojHXf8q57e-Trenw2UW1MVlSFOYpZ3kRQk4ZFkYFdahYhQrcr1J7Mx6704SlFvR4hYiSRcGmajAtafmFsGxJ5R7_5HYNN3YMx0dfpMDuI5ZxaU/s1600/more+model.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8uN1dyfgLwd_A_vs2IDvqx1R7JpN6ojHXf8q57e-Trenw2UW1MVlSFOYpZ3kRQk4ZFkYFdahYhQrcr1J7Mx6704SlFvR4hYiSRcGmajAtafmFsGxJ5R7_5HYNN3YMx0dfpMDuI5ZxaU/s400/more+model.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
In this model, the tabs are folded under, center fold is aligned at about 90 degrees. On the final, I glued the tabs outwards. I have placed some parallelograms to get an idea of where I was heading. I determined that this card will be 5X7" and created the card base accordingly. When I create a card base, I leave the center open, this gives more room for movement and makes the fold less bulky.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjif5QQmfgDhW3CBA1jkgfwoP1O01fL34AzV_X6moeiMil1Ekix-iRVCdw7Pjd6wRKDTP5tcuiuITTNrkb83nm8zCCXvdACL7-eLYFK9-r_9q2bPUlHGfc__N2kAuAweqxRGPnnoYUFup4/s1600/model.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjif5QQmfgDhW3CBA1jkgfwoP1O01fL34AzV_X6moeiMil1Ekix-iRVCdw7Pjd6wRKDTP5tcuiuITTNrkb83nm8zCCXvdACL7-eLYFK9-r_9q2bPUlHGfc__N2kAuAweqxRGPnnoYUFup4/s320/model.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
A different view. The measurements are not important, this was for a different idea that I scrapped. <br />
<br />

Found this paper in the kit. I am going to cut my mechanism for the far left image and actually will fussy cut it out. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Used the paper that I had cut the model mechanism out (above white piece), and used it as a window to determine placement. Traced a faint line around the opening, and using this as a guide fussy cut the mechanism. </div>

Ignore the white box and succulent, focus on the mechanism. The leaves were cut around and the bottom was scored to create the tabs. This was glued down with the center fold on the gutter and tabs out. </div>

Lets look at the flag:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Started out by cutting out the banner die on a piece of white card stock.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I arranged the stamp into the opening in the paper until I had a perfect fit. One of the benefits to unmounted stamps is that they can be very easily manipulated in this manner. I use a glue by Club Scrap on the back of my stamps. This gives me a great hold and the stamp will stay put until I peel it off my stamping device. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My favorite mounting glue!!! I even tear my mounted stamps apart and use this on them. Saves space and I like it better!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back to my card:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the banner was stamped , mounted on a shadow mat, I glued it onto a strip of paper. My tag was mounted to one end, then I figured out where I could place it and attached it to the back of my mechanism.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The front where the tag is, is free and will move with the opening and closing of the card. We are done. Now for some additional pictures so you can get all the views (these are hard to photograph)</div>

For the front:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I die cut the words, 3 times, glued them together and colored with wink of stella. This gives a glimmer which isn't evident in the photo. Then I arranged the left over succulents, cut a mat and added a bow.</div>

Amazing that all those florals fit and fold inside this card. It is relatively flat but bulky. </div>

My Projects. These are simple and easy to do. Lets get started. <br />
<br />
<br />
Card 1:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKAUToSkStX5y0FS_cfrXVRJwIw5Owu9KPayCCWQx3cQsiWVfCBbJnubpQCW8d6qIk_Qi4PkUIRKjHuI-6MRNzZb9NowAWTRxUJkKVHCZobba8K46blKdUAqW8sU_24BxwQPfHEJ2qe8U/s1600/blog+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKAUToSkStX5y0FS_cfrXVRJwIw5Owu9KPayCCWQx3cQsiWVfCBbJnubpQCW8d6qIk_Qi4PkUIRKjHuI-6MRNzZb9NowAWTRxUJkKVHCZobba8K46blKdUAqW8sU_24BxwQPfHEJ2qe8U/s320/blog+1.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>
I started out creating the background. I used the stencil and taped it down over white card stock. <br />
<br />
Then using the new Distress Oxide, and used the ink pad to directly apply ink to the stencil. This created thicker areas in com places, but my goal was to actually coat the stencil plastic. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj14DE9K2EL7L3mGWk9cqYFpQLvWGCYS5rwSmTfkW91EeYQbB9_3NbNJ1o30dwOx48Dsh-eIfPtAP6-v70_QSMKSytBynd9AjsZ1y_h3HMjeg7UHRCDQ0V5yltZ9or1oQgrwpFTJNEBQRM/s1600/positive+stencil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj14DE9K2EL7L3mGWk9cqYFpQLvWGCYS5rwSmTfkW91EeYQbB9_3NbNJ1o30dwOx48Dsh-eIfPtAP6-v70_QSMKSytBynd9AjsZ1y_h3HMjeg7UHRCDQ0V5yltZ9or1oQgrwpFTJNEBQRM/s320/positive+stencil.jpg" width="223" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the result, if you look close you can see the thicker areas of ink, The white is where the plastic was. Ignore the yellow part, I was playing to find a way to use this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, I misted the stencil, (paper is still in place), and laid a piece of water color paper on top and used a brayer to transfer the ink from the stencil to the paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnJgDIEAqfo8CGbq0GWFwtEo6DwIvzwTzEcrh2o9BqQ-gqN5BZVXiqPREE9Xdr2XnJTkkAOskoYkwkPnrGgg4eOmIBhL73ft7R-yPYG3MwVnVl4ZIYReLTbiuL1RlE28uWtIo93AshAeY/s1600/hello+background.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnJgDIEAqfo8CGbq0GWFwtEo6DwIvzwTzEcrh2o9BqQ-gqN5BZVXiqPREE9Xdr2XnJTkkAOskoYkwkPnrGgg4eOmIBhL73ft7R-yPYG3MwVnVl4ZIYReLTbiuL1RlE28uWtIo93AshAeY/s320/hello+background.jpg" width="288" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That step laid down the blue lines. Dried well with heat tool. Then I used Distress Oxide,, Fossilized amber and directly applied the ink pad to craft mat, misted and ran the paper through the Yellow ink. Again dried with a heat tool. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The final step was to rub the Nuvo Mousse onto the paper to enhance the color and give it a bit of a shine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fussy cut out the tulip paper and mounted it onto a mat, this became my focal image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last step the sentiment. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Started with a tag die cut and cut out the die. Placed this on my Misti and aligned the word. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Replaced the tag cutout into the opening and stamped, Voila, Perfect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly just added a ribbon, popped everything onto a white A2 card. Done!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Another easy but complicated looking card is this one:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Started out by arranging my stamps on a misty, stamped in Versamark and embossed in a white Embossing powder. Next, masked off the center.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsq5Df1obcvCGup2Yn4xR8hBaQqW0j1_riGMZz-lLHup7dPmpdh0PEQVu8MKo3rhzccHEWkoEjCsgvuljk2bWjaTWzlqWCSyzZts3Iac19_hQ5Qwrg5bV5OU3dOXQKYI0DaNpj8lobwr8/s1600/stamped+with+masking+card+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsq5Df1obcvCGup2Yn4xR8hBaQqW0j1_riGMZz-lLHup7dPmpdh0PEQVu8MKo3rhzccHEWkoEjCsgvuljk2bWjaTWzlqWCSyzZts3Iac19_hQ5Qwrg5bV5OU3dOXQKYI0DaNpj8lobwr8/s320/stamped+with+masking+card+3.jpg" width="281" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And blended 2 inks, Cracked Pistachio and Faded Jeans, Distress oxide again, and gently misted. Wiped the embossing clear, removed the masked and stamped Celebrate on the center. A few rhinestones, a blue mat and a white card base finishes this simple but classy card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This one appears more complicated , but it is just as simple. I started out with a Black Stamping and embossed in Clear. Then I covered the entire image with Glossy Accents and let dry.</div>

The base card is a silver and cut down to A2 size. Matt was cut from silver printed paper included in kit. Mats were cut from same silver card stock, added a silver wrapping of embroidery thread and bow. Popped the sentiment on another silver mat. Simple and I think the saying goes well with the Cracked Tile effect. My idea for this card was from the Club Scrap Blog posting by <a href="http://clubscrap.com/cracked-porcelain-technique/">Julie</a>.</div>

Ok are you ready for the Team Challenge. This month the challenge was to use the Digital images to create digital/hybrid projects. Digital can be challenging or fun, it is a different way to craft. I came to crafting through Digital Scrapbooking. Then moved into Digital Art Journaling. I still created a lot of my sentiments in photoshop, print and use on my cards, solves that issue of "not right stamping". I did not want to overwhelm you with the techie part, so my goal was to show you a trick or maybe something new that might get you to think about the digital files in a different way. <br />
<br />
This was not an easy task as I have never written a tutorial for this type of project. So I tried to keep it simple. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions., just sent me a note. But first, you should have arrived from <a href="http://jentscrappysideofme.blogspot.com/2017/03/club-scrap-artist-team-challenge-blog.html">Jennifer</a> and if you got lost, <a href="http://clubscrap.com/?p=72099&preview=true">Click here. </a><br />
<br />
First off, I am using Photoshop for this project. I am also using the latest release, your screen might not look the same if you are using an older version, or a different Photoshop Program than this. But the principal is the same. I have been using this Program for many years and while it changes with every release, the basics are constant. <br />
<br />
Card 1: This will demonstrate the basic technique, hang in there. <br />

These were made with the same images but one is layered and the other flat. </div>

One of the issues with using files, that if you try to enlarge them they can Pixilate, have jagged borders. One way to avoid this is to create a stamp from the image, and then alter the "stamp".</div>

Located the Image that I wanted and using the lasso tool, outlined the image. I captured part of the background. You can't see it in the photo but this little bit of background gives the paper texture and depth, taking away that "photo look". Next, I opened another file, white page and dragged this image onto the paper. It is very light and needed to be darkened. There are many ways to do this, but the easiest is to click on the image bar and use the adjustment and brightness and contrast tools.</div>

You could also use the layers to add more layers and use the darken mode to do this, but you have to flatten the image and sometimes there is a bit of distortion. This is a simple 2 step process.

Both of these layers were popped up on fun foam. I used the crystal pen in blue (included in the kit) to add hash marks to the light blue line to add that "hand touch".</div>

For the second card, I copied the Background onto a smaller (5X7 canvas), pulled the rectangle into the file, centering it and then printed on my ink jet printer All that was needed was to add ribbon, embellishment, mat and place on a card base. I did cut this down to the A2 size. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Whew!!! that was involved. but the good news, I used all the same techniques to create the other 2 cards. So, you get a reprieve from my tutorial, enjoy some eye candy.</div>

Simple and elegant. Used the darker blue "ink" on the chip, same rectangle box, same stamp making technique and lastly a Dutch Proverb makes a simple elegant and perfect card. This one is matted and no foiling was used in the creation of this project. I flipped the "shoe" by checking a box in the brush tool selection tab. (This is my favorite).</div>

I have to say these are rough for me to do. I am a free spirit when I craft and have a hard time conforming. I must have looked at a dozen sites before one spoke to me. I always seems to have an idea and then go looking for the challenge that matches it. I need to find a simpler way I am thinking. Oh well, the card is cute and matches the challenge perfectly. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This card is straight forward. I used the papers from Club Scrap March Kit, Delft. Fussy cut the papers for the "ribbons" and a printed paper for the the mat. All of this was arranged on a 5X7 white card base. </div>

This is the paper that I was trying to find a use for. I used the stencil on white 120 card stock, and brushed over a layer of Nuvo Mousse. This is a new product for me and well, I'm not sure about it. I am a great fan of Inca Gold and this is similar, fluffier, but harder to control. I need to play some more.</div>

February was a rough month. I had just finished the inside of my interactive card and was feeling the "happy dance".. Headed off to work, thinking the weekend would see me finishing it and publishing soon. Well life can change in a moment, while walking down the hall and thinking about life, I felt and "heard" a pop in my knee and I was down for the count. I understand pain, but to experience that white hot searing pain of acute injury and the awareness that walking was impossible was a new experience. Good thing I work in a medical facility, wheel chairs are easily acquired. I was whisked off to ED, MRI, Ortho, and medicated before the reality hit that it was going to be a long way to the top of those stairs and my craft room. Well, my saga continues but with help I can get upstairs and when finished, with help can get back down the stairs. So, on my return to the craft room, What did I make? A Windmill!!! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Cute isn't it? Wonder how that will fit into a card. I made a movie. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2u_wUwthmHs/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2u_wUwthmHs?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
Ok, lets see how to make this: The principle is on a box idea. We are familiar with these, the exploding box, box card, and Karen Burniston's Flower Pot Pop Up. I just made a closed box and used a triangle as the element. <br />
<br />
There is a Windmill Stamp in the Club Scrap March Kit Delft. I used this for inspiration. First started out by measuring the stamp. I determined that the base is slightly narrower than the height. I began here.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrBACoEXU5_KI3EvIIYmeWpLgauEorrkGuPC_3Fzd3IPT_ntuWcjiU12nMUVDwckXJCC3YL7hOeDvNejbrUr3R_hDXYDHjy5x43YTTTrRanneg6LMo0Wu3izI_fji28YlLD8sAWpdtkVQ/s1600/0317Jumbo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrBACoEXU5_KI3EvIIYmeWpLgauEorrkGuPC_3Fzd3IPT_ntuWcjiU12nMUVDwckXJCC3YL7hOeDvNejbrUr3R_hDXYDHjy5x43YTTTrRanneg6LMo0Wu3izI_fji28YlLD8sAWpdtkVQ/s320/0317Jumbo.jpg" width="226" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The windmill stamp is on the right </div>
<br />
I drew out several different sizes of triangles to get the exact size, keeping in mind that I did not want a giant card, 5X7 was goal and I needed room for the blades. Then I made a model and adjusted the blades and figured out the construction.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKPmpMnii4BSNA9V-A7jyJsfAoW8VQCsApgJN226Dzo_vuQ2_Noc603FKguR96Va1FVTir4kS4MKn1oq0fLyUWjOvtJ5nGW5_RVUH5Q5p9qGp9LenQzsyxTkpgVjshrgsqh7BGbSJ-Vgc/s1600/model.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKPmpMnii4BSNA9V-A7jyJsfAoW8VQCsApgJN226Dzo_vuQ2_Noc603FKguR96Va1FVTir4kS4MKn1oq0fLyUWjOvtJ5nGW5_RVUH5Q5p9qGp9LenQzsyxTkpgVjshrgsqh7BGbSJ-Vgc/s320/model.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Ended up with an equilateral triangle with base of 2" and height of 2.5". At this point it is important that the triangle be perfect. All the angles must be exact. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We could go into the geometry of this whole exercise, but in reality, just use a ruler and draw 2 lines. I used a t-square to keep everything straight. one line is 2" (the base) and crossed by line that is 2.5" (the height) and connect the lines. Then I drew tabs onto one side and the bottom. <br />
<br />
Next I placed this on a folded piece of paper and created this:<br />

This is converted to the full pattern. Dotted lines are the fold lines. This was carefully cut and scored. The Inked embellishments were added, while flat and the windows cut out. The blades were added on before the closing up the "box". I used an xacto knife to cut out the "windows" and glued yellow paper behind the holes. Inked up the panes and added a white gel pen outline to indicate frames around the windows and door. A brad holds the blades. </div>

I created the card base the same as in all my other cards. Cutting the base and adding the backing papers to the inside, leaving space along the gutter (the center fold). The Center fold on the front of the windmill must line up with the gutter. I added the glue to one tab and with the windmill open attached that side down. Then flattened everything, removed the strip from the second tab, folded the card, perfect.<br />
<br />
Next I needed to adjust the blades. <br />

Well this seems long and involved. But it isn't. Getting the pattern made was the hard part. Remember when making popups, the gutter or center is where "most of the action is" and both sides must be symmetrical. If all things are equal and it is foldable, it will work. Just experiment. </div>

I will post February Interactive card soon. In retrospect, this mechanism needed to come first. The Succulent Card relies on Parallelogram and is more complicated. In the scheme of things, this is a very simple pop up. Let me know if you have any questions.</div>

When I put my finishing touches on this set of card and started photographing, I nearly panicked thinking Valentines Cards need mailed!!! But I need to make them, oh well and so it goes. This month's challenge was to use a technique that had the impression of Batik. This is easy for me. If you look over my blog's history, you will see that this is my fail proof background technique. But I need to to change it up a bit so I could show you something new. Are you ready? Well first lets make sure you have the links for the hop. You should have arrived here from <a href="http://jentscrappysideofme.blogspot.com/2017/01/january-club-scrap-team-challenge.html">Jennifer</a>.

Stunning you say!!! Well I started out with a stack of backgrounds, seems I really like blue, green and purple because that was the only ones I liked. Since they are so "matched" I think I will turn them into a set and give as a gift. They were made the same way generally.<br />
<br />
<br />
From my dragonfly pop up card, 2 blog posting back, I had several cutouts of the stamped dragonfly. They made the perfect stencil. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQUCcNDODuW4Xg_07yB3-1viXzDxCp4HD0mW_UrSD0y1KYm9lbj-G32ume2-oX-WzA3BUbXsrV5rONpeyEiA_BYbwMsBsT4O00Nvd3fiQoZwQ0ul9rWX_-TumZdENGkLqmcrQKQzg1S9o/s1600/ready+to+spray.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQUCcNDODuW4Xg_07yB3-1viXzDxCp4HD0mW_UrSD0y1KYm9lbj-G32ume2-oX-WzA3BUbXsrV5rONpeyEiA_BYbwMsBsT4O00Nvd3fiQoZwQ0ul9rWX_-TumZdENGkLqmcrQKQzg1S9o/s320/ready+to+spray.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I cut them apart, put them in my Club Scrap Pizza Box and sprayed them with adhesive spray. What I learned was don't leave them too long, spray, apply, emboss and get them off the background or they will be permanently adhered.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCuRsPTtNp6cSQqGGJmICbe5DCYXs1hrMwLU9IlWA-6fQzZoWL_YBsXpB8FZX6MRgn8WJ6bxc3ejPBO76wCAUY8woOnzKtT2cnZeGDVHg1j3jit4BC3LQtXakRQOv2NK6qe2iR4RuRyIk/s1600/motre+ready.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCuRsPTtNp6cSQqGGJmICbe5DCYXs1hrMwLU9IlWA-6fQzZoWL_YBsXpB8FZX6MRgn8WJ6bxc3ejPBO76wCAUY8woOnzKtT2cnZeGDVHg1j3jit4BC3LQtXakRQOv2NK6qe2iR4RuRyIk/s320/motre+ready.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Next I arranged them on my papers and using an ink blending tool, embossing ink, covered the inside of the stencil. Moving from the outside in.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV6lW-dC6O8AcPJMHacUy94uworUrr5tz1gvyA5SbTgSgB88KIzuMWzWY7WznIpKd6DUCaW11DL9c6Ewxxfoyr-BRjAkMeoMkxE61FPC4hQEIOLNYpOuJxWfAFazKT8mE7ngJhnNYmII8/s1600/ready.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV6lW-dC6O8AcPJMHacUy94uworUrr5tz1gvyA5SbTgSgB88KIzuMWzWY7WznIpKd6DUCaW11DL9c6Ewxxfoyr-BRjAkMeoMkxE61FPC4hQEIOLNYpOuJxWfAFazKT8mE7ngJhnNYmII8/s320/ready.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Closer view: I prefer the Ranger Embossing ink for this technique. One I have the reinker, makes it easier to get the goo where I want it and enough goo to do the job. Second it is a bit more sticky than other embossing ink. I prefer the other ink when I am not applying to a stencil. 3rd, it seems to allow the ink to move under the embossing. When I use Versamark for example, it is often solid. This is a batik like technique so I needed the bleed. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzxGMU-DtU5zey03-ISOQ4Gq0Lj8mpbGGhaiJuRFhpixT9n-1XNeO-rXTHbjpqA4mf9TFJsYDo8NbyVM0QIeCFYEZXz1qLpN0qglAIdvNRf4e1wS1bQWikn0mlDPbb9R1S31_da1qHgW4/s1600/bacground+finished.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzxGMU-DtU5zey03-ISOQ4Gq0Lj8mpbGGhaiJuRFhpixT9n-1XNeO-rXTHbjpqA4mf9TFJsYDo8NbyVM0QIeCFYEZXz1qLpN0qglAIdvNRf4e1wS1bQWikn0mlDPbb9R1S31_da1qHgW4/s400/bacground+finished.jpg" width="255" /></a></div>
The top dragonfly shows that bleed the best. Next I sprayed inks or stains onto my craft sheet and dipped the paper into the inks. I used Broken China, Twisted Citron, Fresh Violets for my inks.<br />
<br />
On tip that I often miss mentioning, is an important one. When I make my first pass through the ink, I stop and heat set it. Then dip into the ink again, heat set. Add any additional color and dip again. Many times I hear that "I just get mud", these inks are water reactive, so if you heat between dips, the color remains clear. Once dry I spray with water to distress. That is it!<br />
<br />
The next step is to get rid of the embossing powder. I have been using my Minc Put a piece white copy paper around the card, and run through the Minc on a setting of 4. Takes only one pass to clean up the embossing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The clear on the white paper is the removed embossing powder. Quick and easy!!<br />
<br />
<br />
For the next background I tried something different. I used Distress Micro glaze. Instead of using the dauber, I just covered the inside of the stencil with the micro glaze, being careful to not add too much. The first 2 were on water color paper, for this one, I used plain white card stock.<br />

<br />
This looks different, more splotchy and the images are not as defined. The paper curls but I like it and it adds interest. <br />
<br />
<br />
To finish up, I added my die cut words that were cut from Heidi Swapp glitter tape or stamped in black ink. Added some sequins to complete 3 cards that are clean and simple and will be easily mailed. <br />
<br />
Lets look at them up close!<br />

Oh well, so it goes. Before we jump into my cards, you should have arrived from <a href="http://sweeetdesignsbycheryl.blogspot.com/2017/01/club-scrap-color-me-happy-blog-hop.html">Cheryl</a>, and if you got lost along the way <a href="http://clubscrap.com/0117-blog-hop?flush_rewrite_rules=true">Click Here</a>.<br />
<br />
So lets get stated. The kit this month was color me happy. Included in the kit, besides the wonderful paper and stamps, was 2 sheets of 12 X 12 Yupo paper. Yupo is weird paper that is really a plastic that is porous. It accepts Alcohol inks like no other. So, after my laborious task of creating the pop up, in my previous post (take a look if you haven't) I decided to Yupo my way through this blog hop<br />

I pulled out my Ranger Alcohol Ink and my Copic Various (these are the same as the alcohol inks, but ofter a bit softer, 70% isopropyl alcohol and my Copic Blending Solution. I had intended to use the ranger blending solution, bleach out areas, but unfortunately, I could find my bottle no where, oh well, I had plenty to play with. And play I did. I cut up my Yupo into useable pieces and just started dropping on ink. Some I blew through a straw, some I added alcohol or blending solution and some went into the trash. After a fun time, this is what I decided to keep. <br />

<div>
I started with the top image, but 1/2 way through I lost one of my panels and started over with the bottom one. I should not be so messy and I wouldn't lose things!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I cut this panel into 4th, then chose the parts that I like and using a 1.5 " square cute out the Yupo background. I mounted this onto slightly smaller fun foam and centered them on a blue cardstock from kit, using a 1.75 inch die. Placed the 4 squares onto a white card base and then onto the same blue cardstock in an A2 size. I added some sequins in blue. Lastly Stamped and embossed the Thank you on Velum and centered it between the top and bottom panels. Lovely I think.</div>

I found a blue "dot or circle" in another panel, cut it out, doodled it into a flower and popped it into the corner on a wiggler. Added a dragonfly (made the same was as in the pop up blog post, added a sentiment. Placed it on a white A2 card base. Voila!!</div>

Card 3:</h2>
<div>
The background on this card said it all. Nothing else required. That is often the hardest with these cards. When you just want it that background to be the whole card. Trying to add something, often detracts from the background. </div>

Let's see what I did.</div>

<div>
Not bad!!</div>
<div>

<h2>
A Straw!!!!!!</h2>
<div>
So you drop on your ink and blow like crazy. It dries rapidly and does not pool. A dry air can, the kind you use to clean electronics works as well, but moves things way fast, sometimes too fast. </div>

<div>
Almost looks like a flower. Very soft, and subtle compared to the Ranger Alcohol inks. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Trimmed it up a bit, added a black ribbon and sequins.</div>
<div>
The sentiment is perfect!</div>

I am fascinated by the movement. There are many cards and dies available for simple pop ups, but I want movement. I have been collecting books on Pop Ups for some time, but I am basically lazy and have always relied on others to do the hard work, figuring it out. Karen Burniston is a master at Pop up cards. Her last major die release for Elizabeth began that journey of moving mechanisms, and I used that die on several of my recent cards and posting. <a href="https://www.elizabethcraftdesigns.com/collections/pop-it-ups/products/twist-circle-pop-up">Twist-circle-pop-up</a>. <br />
<br />
I have followed Karen as she moved from Sizzix to Elizabeth Craft, and as I was anxiously awaiting her new product line, hoping to have more dies that incorporated movement at CHA, I learned that there will be no new releases beause she is no longer designing for EZ and has yet to find a home. <br />
<br />
So, I decided to forge a path and start a posting about how to make these magical cards. So over the next few months, I am going to teach you about the basic mechanisms and how they are created to make your cards move. Hope you will enjoy this exploration. There is much experimentation with this process, but that in itself is magical. . . . . . . .<br />

Are you ready. </h2>

Here is a video of the card I made for this posting. <br />

<br />
This card is based on Parallelograms, What you say? Simple little boxes but provide a foundation of movement for many different mechanisms. <br />
<br />
The parallelogram is a rectangle with 3 parallel folds. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The folds can be anywhere just parallel and when folded must be rectangular and not square.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The center of the card is the gutter and is where all movement comes from.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
By not placing the backing cards up to the fold and leaving this area open allows for increased opening of the card. If you look at the video, the first demo shows the large dragonfly popping up. This is because the fold is allowed to open up flat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this card the Parallelogram will span the center fold. With glueing flaps folded (the end tabs) place the center line on the fold with the shortest tab to the left</div>

That is all there is to a parallelogram. Each of those folds now become another fold to add more mechanisms to. Or can be used to create action, which is what I did. </div>

Here is the parallelogram in place. In the small box I fold two triangles and the back folded to create "arm placements". This was done before glueing down. So the first step discussed was to just create a platform. This folding step is optional and is used to create movement. </div>

I knew that I needed movement at the top and bottom which is why there are two folds in my parallelogram. On which part of the triangle the "arm" is place will determine the movement. </div>

The Process of Creating:</h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Before I started the card I made a rough model of what I wanted.</span><br />

I basically take paper and start adding. I began with a single parallelogram with fold, shown holding dragonfly (small) and arm for movement. Then I cut an opening in another piece of paper for the large dragonfly and attached a dragonfly. Open and closed a few times and decided this worked.</div>

Here the measurements are being refined. Everything must fit into the card. How much movement I needed would determine the finished card. Those dimensions are marked not the backing.</div>

Measurements are penciled in. Everything works. I need a minimum of a 5 X 6 card. So my finished card will be based on that measurement. To make it less square, I added 1/2 inch to height and so the finished card is 5 X 61/2 inches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With all the measurements in hand I started construction. I ended up adjusting only slightly. One major adjustment was moving the folds on the parallelogram so they met at the center and eliminated the arm for the large dragonfly.</div>

This is the mechanism. We will explore this in future blogs as it is the bases for another whole array of movement. I just created a triangle. Cut on the straight sides and folded it on the other set set of lines. This will fold flat and move the dragonfly out of the way when closed and pop up when opened.. </div>

Almost done. Both Dragonflies fly and move. Last step is the sun. I Stamped heat embossed and fussy cut it out, then colored with copics. It is attached to the upper part of the parallelogram.</div>

This folds in towards the center and the small dragonfly moves away from the center.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ok, lets take a few looks at all the parts finished. What you can't see in the video, but get a hint at, is the wings on both dragonflies are loose, they flutter when the card is opened. A product of thin vellum and heaving embossing. </div>

There are other great pop up engineers on You Tube as well and a quick walk through he pop up box section in your local bookstore is an immense source of inspiration. The Harry Potter Pop up is my Favorite and of course Starwars. But it is the simpler pop up books that lend themselves to us card makers. </div>

My New Year's plan was to just stay on schedule. I spent all day working on my personal blog and after filling up the garbage, decided that I was just not going to make that card. <br />
<br />
I moved over a sheet of paper from the latest kit, and immediately had the perfect idea for a card. Next step was to find a challenge that would work. Not the easiest way to find a challenge, but I did. <br />
<br />
Here is my card:<br />

Pretty close. I used the paper for the flowers. <br />
<br />
Lets see how I made it:<br />
<br />
Start with the paper: Kit is Color me Happy, from Club Scrap January 2017 collection. The kit also comes with an amazing silver pen.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Fussy cut out one of the swirls. It is the one in the lower left corner. Then placed in on an A2 card base and adjusted the size. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next I too k the silver pen and added more dots. This close up shows how well the pen matched the paper.<br />
<br />
Last step was to create a sentiment. That was the hardest part. Thought about Calligraphing the sentiment with the silver pen , but! I did not want to practice or waste my paper. My previous project wore me out!!! So I stamped and embossed, and stamped and embossed again and finally settled on Ranger Silver Embossing Powder and a die cut.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

See all the dots! I think it is perfect example of clean and simple as well as elegant and fits the sketch.<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

It is the after Christmas just before New Years. I bet you are relaxing and wondering what 2017 will bring. Well for me it was a wonderful 2016. We moved to Texas in 2014 so that my daughter Roxie could train and hopefully compete at the 2016 Rio Paralympics. Goal was accomplished. As we turn to 2017, she will continue riding with a goal to continue to compete in the International Arena. What will I do. Well Santa brought me a new Spinning Wheel and I am in love with Popup Cards. And of course Club Scrap provides monthly anticipation as I wait for my box to arrive. Well this month, I got caught up in the After Thanksgiving and Before the Insurance Changes (again), I work in health care, and after 60+ hour work weeks am ready to sit and spin and craft. <br />
So my participatin has been sparse. On that note, my first card is a KNOCK Out!!!<br />
But first: You should have arrived from: <a href="http://sweeetdesignsbycheryl.blogspot.com/2016/12/club-scrap-shades-of-winter-blog-hop.html">Cheryl</a> and If you want to start at the<a href="http://clubscrap.com/?p=64227&preview=true">Beginning</a>, click here. <br />
<br />
So lets start with the first card:<br />

<br />
This is a pop up and one of the most remarkable mechanisms. I did not think this up. Instructions can be found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZcj9Dnrpkc&t=115s">Here</a>, I used the measurements and made the base card exactly as Karen's instructions. The embellishments are different however. There is another tutorial on Split Coast Stampers that also make a card in this style. Here is the link: <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/news/comments.php?id=1949_0_1_0_C">Twisted Pop Up Card</a><br />

Some tips:<br />
<br />
For the inlay. I did not use the same die as in the video. I had 2 separate words. <br />

Cut them out of scrap paper and clearly the alignment was off, adjusted and recut. <br />

I kept the dies taped together and removed the white paper from the die. Then recut with the blue paper. following the instructions in the video, placed the die in the opening and glued the blue letters into the openings. Then I went back and cut the white paper again, removed the words and placed all the bits into the opening by pushing through the holes in the die.</div>

Sentiment was stamped and embossed in Ranger Platinum embossing powder and versamark ink on cream paper. The inspiration paper became the mat, and I used the darker tan paper for the cardstock. To balance everything, I added a ribbon and embellishment. Easy but impressive.</div>

Using the tan card stock, left over from Card 2, I stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Ranger Holographic embossing powder. Then I cut it up so that the snowflakes look random. By stamping a larger piece and then cutting, you avoid that "placed look". Some will fall off the edges. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A white card base, a silver ribbon, and an embalmments grounds the image. The sentiment in Versafine black Onyx and heat embossed in clear, turns the sentiment into the focal image. </div>
