Club Scrap Dec Blog Hop: Navigation

Hello and welcome to Club Scrap's December Blog Hop!

This month we're featuring: Navigation Collection!!!

If you came from Roni's Blog, you're in the right place!

Your next stop is Tricia's Blog!
If you would like to start from the beginning, go to Club Scrap's Blog.

I have a couple of projects to share...since December is a busy month, I tried to keep everything simple!
First, a scrapbook page:

I used products from the Navigation Deluxe Kit: patterned papers, fibers, embellishment cutaparts, bronze frame and a wood arrow.
I still have to add my journaling, so that cutapart square is just perfect for that! And there's a "tucked in" tag...do you see it?

Tip: Plan where you'll apply your adhesive in order to create a "pocket" for a tag.

I used a strip of embellishment cutapart for the tag, and added the decorative fiber (I applied some adhesive on the back of the ends to prevent fraying).

For the bronze frame, I fussy cut the design from the embellishment cutaparts, and coated it with Glossy Accents (make sure you adhere the circle first, let dry and then, apply the Glossy Accent). I added a decorative fiber and the title (Thickers/American Crafts).

My second project is a card...I used lots of embellishment cutaparts:

Trim a 4.25" x 12" strip of white cardstock. Score it at 1.5" and 7". Fold the card base.

Trim 2 border strips (4" in length) for the front and back of the small flap. Trim a more narrow border strip (4.25" in length) for the inside. Trim the bigger design and the sentiment square. Ink the edges of all pieces (I used Brilliance Lightning Black).

I finally added a bronze frame with fiber on the small flap of the card.

The card might not close completely flat (due to the fiber), but you can add a removable adhesive dot behind the square sentiment, if you don't want it "open".

Don't forget to go to Tricia's Blog and check out her wonderful project!!!

And I'll have 3 more Navigation cards to share tomorrow, so check back!!!
