Club Scrap May Artist Team Challenge Blog Hop

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Welcome to Club Scrap May Artist Team Challenge Blog Hop!
If you came from Club Scrap's Blog (Karen's post), you're in the right place!
Your next stop will be Debbie's Blog!

Our May Challenge is a “Mash up” of Club Scrap Collections...to create projects while combining papers, stamps or other elements from AT LEAST two different Club Scrap Collections!

My first project is a 12" x 12" scrapbook page:

I used Cherry Blossoms, Sunflowers and Dahlia Collections.
I tore the Sunflower printed paper and adhered it on plain cardstock.
I layered different Embellishment Cutaparts and printed papers that I tore or die cut.
There's also a stamped scrap from another project: I stamped Dahlia with VersaMark, heat embossed in clear and blended some colors.

I cut some flowers (silver paper from Cherry Blossoms Collection) with Flower Market CTMH/Cricut Cartridge, layered them and added a Sunflowers Sparkle Sticker in the centers...and some more around the page:

Challenge:
1. ScrapOurStash May Tic-Tac-Toe Stash Challenge (Journal Card/The Color Yellow/3+ PP)

2. WordArtWed #284-#285: AGoes

*************************************

My second project is a digital card:

I used elements from Club Scrap Bugs, Hydrangeas, Paris Flea Market, Postcards from Paris and Adirondacks Digital Kits.

Club Scrap March Artist Team Challenge Blog Hop

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Welcome to Club Scrap's Artist Team Blog Hop!
This month, the DT team was challenged to create hybrid projects using the Digital Kits!

If you came from Debbie's Blog, you're in the right place!
If you would like to start from the beginning, please go to Club Scrap's Blog (Karen's Post)!

Here are some ideas...

1. Print and Create:

Club Scrap's new format is easy to use...you can just use them as printables - print the pages out, "cut and paste" the images on your projects - like this easy card here:

Or if you prefer to add more layers:

Challenges:

1. Simon Says Mon: Layer it Up

2. Word Art Wed #274-#275: AGoes

3. Simply PaperCraft #45: Agoes

I printed Delft Digital Kit on white cardstock, trimmed the elements and distress the edges.
On the first card, I also added some Dimension Magic on flowers and dots.
On the second card, I used foam tapes for the 3 panels, added a doodled frame around the sentiment (using the blue Gel Pen from Delft Gel Pen Set), colored (alcohol-based markers) and cut out the clogs as embellishment.
Card base is plain paper from Delft Collection.

2. Create a Project on your computer/laptop and Print it Out:

I used the elements from Delft Digital Kit and a bow from Castaway Digital Kit to create this scrapbook page. I used PicMonkey.com to crop and layer...and once I was happy with the design, I saved it on my laptop.
Then, I print it out on photo paper, trim it and add the page to the album!

Here's the saved page:

Challenges:

1. ARTastic March Challenge

******************************

Here are some more projects using the Create and Print method:

Dahlia Digital Kit

Paris Flea Market Digital Kit

Challenges:

1. Double D: Things That Fly

2. Crafting with Friends: AGoes

I designed them using PicMonkey, printed them on white cardstock, die cut a panel and added a card base. Even if you're using the older format (with lots of elements!!!), it's still pretty easy!

Hope you give Digital Kits a try!

And this would be your last stop! Thanks for hopping with us!

Club Scrap March Blog Hop: Paris Flea Market & Linky Party

(I have 2 posts today...click HERE to view my DT card for The Card Concept)

Hello and welcome to Club Scrap's March Blog Hop and Linky Party!

This month we're featuring Paris Flea Market Collection...

If you came from Karen's Post (at Club Scrap), you're in the right place!
Your next stop will be Kay's Blog!

Remember my decorated box from last week? (If you didn't see it, click HERE)
I totally ruined the box, because I was trying to seal it...bad idea! =(

Here's how I made it, before I ruined it:

I cut the explosion box using Cricut Mini Books cart. I adhered Paper Lace Mat on with stick glue.

Trim the Paper Lace Mat, as shown.

Turn the paper over and adhere the flap.

For the second box, I decided to make the inside...my outside:

When you open the box:

Here's the finished Explosion Box:

Challenge:

1. Decorate to Celebrate #7: AG

2. Simon Says Wed: AG

3. Word Art Wed #224-225: AG (#1)

I used different patterned papers & cardstock, the gorgeous pearlescent pink pp, some ribbon, and embellishment cutaparts (Club Scrap). I used some die cuts from Cricut, flowers and pearl center, a round (1/2") and decorative corner punches. Depending on the photos I use, I might add more embellishments, but I kept it pretty simple.

*********************************************

I also made a set of ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) using this Masterboard (click HERE to see it):

All I had to do was to add the black mat and some Embellishment Cutaparts:

Challenge:

ATC Around the World #15: Anything Goes/option: use a stamp

******************************************

And, just for fun, a scrapbook page, using a sketch from Scrap Entre Amigas #51:

I used some pp, Paper Lace Mats, Embellishments Pack White Die Cut, ribbon, Paris Flea Market Art Nouveau Unmounted Stamps and the Frame Overlay Stencil on 2 corners. I added some Cricut die cuts (for title and embellishment), paper flowers and pearls.

Artist Team Challenge

Club Scrap March Artist Team Challenge/Blog Hop: Lace & Die Cuts

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Welcome to Club Scrap's Artist Team Challenge + Blog Hop!
This month the DT team was challenged to create with Paper Lace Mats and Embellishments Die Cuts from the Paris Flea Market Collection...

If you came from Debbie's Blog, you're in the right place!
If you would like to start from the beginning, go to Club Scrap's Blog...but that's where you'll also go next!

Here are my projects:

I trimmed a part of the Paper Lace Mat...

...to adhere on the corner of this card:

Challenge:

1. Artistic Inspiration #152: Anything Goes

2. Love to Scrap #74: Anything Goes

For the second card, I trimmed a Paper Lace Mat panel and I also used the Embellishments Die Cut (I stamped an image, inked the edges and tied it with fiber):

Challenges:

1. Addicted to CAS #84: Delicate

2. Not Just Cards #30

For the third card, I used the Paper Lace Mat to create decorative embellishments on the left and right side of the Embellishments Die Cut (inked and stamped). The little panel opens up and the plan is to have two pictures, inside the panel and card...I just don't have them yet! =)

(By the way, this card uses the Masterboard created last week - click HERE to see it).

Challenges:

1. Cards und More #154: Use Ribbon

2. Craft Your Passion #304: Always Anything Goes

3. Crafting From The Heart #104: Anything Goes

I used a A2 card and a smaller size card adhered on the inside.

The Paper Lace Mat is also great to wrap small gifts...

...and I added the inked and stamped Embellishments Die Cut with fiber.

Last, but not the least, I used Paper Lace Mat to embellish this box:

Paper Lace Mat is also on the lid with a Embellishments Die Cut covered with the pretty pink metallic patterned paper from the Collection. I added a bow (Club Scrap ribbon) and a rose (Recollection):

This box will be an Explosion Box!!! But you will have to come back next Wednesday to see it! =)

Now, you can go back to Club Scrap's Blog to hop again! =)

Supplies:
Paris Flea Market Deluxe Kit
Paper Lace Mats
Embellishments Pack White Die Cuts

Paris Flea Market Masterboard: Hello Card + Bliss

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Club Scrap has a Technique Challenge linky party going on...and oh, did I mention I'm the host? =)

The technique is creating your own MasterBoard! You can read about it by clicking HERE (there's a video, too!).

When I received the Paris Flea Market March Deluxe Kit (Club Scrap) and stamps sets, I knew I had to make one more...

I left the stamps untrimmed and just stamped away...

Then, using other sets, I added more images in different inks:

I added a little bit of color with Distress Stain (Ranger):

Final Masterboard:

I was able to make a 8" x 8" scrapbook page, a couple of cards and some ATCs (Artist Trading Cards)...today, I'll be sharing the page and one card...

I tore a 7" x 7" piece of the Masterboard and inked the edges with Distress Stain. I adhered it on black cardstock. I added a piece of black mat and a Paper Lace edge for my photo and some flowers:

I inked the edges of the black cardstock with Brilliance ink pad and added more flowers (Prima) and the title (American Crafts). Then, I brushed diluted gesso over the edges of the page and mat, flowers and title to blend them in...

After it dries, add the photo:

Challenges:
1. More Than Words March: Bliss & Gesso

2. Crafting for all Season #122: Color Challenge
3. Word Art Wed #222-223: Anything Goes

*****************************************************

The card was inspired by Mojo Monday #439 sketch:

I used a small panel of the Masterboard and matted on black cardstock. I drew a border using silver gel pen.
I added some patterned papers, Paper Lace Mat, ribbon and a "Hello" stamp.

Challenges:
1. Mojo Monday #439
