June 10 club kit

Use the black cardstock as a background. Trim the red and blue paper to remove 1/8” around the outer edge. Adhere to black cardstock. Use the “lined paper” patterned paper to add a title and to use the rubons as if they were doodles around the edges. Glue 3 flowers and use buttons as centers. Use the rest of the lined paper to journal on the second page. Add more rubons. Add pictures to the pages.

These rubons were fun and added a sketchy, scribbly feel to the use of the lined patterned paper.

May 10 kit

The buzz and bloom chipboard is laser cut. If it smells a little smoky, brush off the soot. Punch the pieces out and use anything to decorate it. I used stickles as I wanted something to portray star quality.

Trim 1/4” off two ends of the flower patterned paper and place on the pink piece of paper so it is matted. Paper tear the other sheet showing the blue side of the patterned as shown. Tear a small piece and use the other side of it. Mat the pictures in the light blue cardstock. I used two different colors of glitter glue on the chipboard and used monomulti to adhere.

April 2010 kit

Our April kit features Artisan elements from Pink Paislee, patterned paper from Kaiser, cardstock from Coordinations, and ribbon. Artisan elements can be painted, inked, colored with virtually any substance of your choice (or keep it plain of you wish!)

Cur 1/4” of one top and one side edge of the script paper. Adhere to the brown cardstock. Cut a mat approx. 8” x 10” from the cream color cardstock. Also create a mat from the stripe paper approx. 6” x 8” Adhere both to the layout as shown. Mat 3 of the 4 pictures with the blue and the fourth picture with the cream cardstock. Create a title fro the blue cardstock. I used one of the artisan elements frames, punching out the center and using it to write the 73 with a Copic marker. I also used the marker to outline the edge. I used a shimmering watercolor in both an brown and a gold sheen (I really think paints would have been much better here but I did this layout on the road.) I used the same color to color the frame itself. I used a small piece of one of the patterned papers to journal with a blue pen. Stick the frame around the journaling and adhere all to the layout. These would make a great decorative element ina craft that would be showcased around the house!

March 10 kit

I really like this layout! Pearls are the technique - use them as an aspect of elements on your page (here the center of the flower) as well as on your frame! Use for borders, accents, etc. Since they are self-adhesive it is easy to peel a whole 12” strand off and stick in place. Sections cut apart easily as well.

Use the green cardstock as a background. Cut the mud mask paper (the dark side) into a 10 1/2 x 10 1/2 square. I inked the whole paper with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress inks as well as the edges to make it look time worn as the photos have a sepia tone to them. Mat the photos in the cream cardstock inking the edges as well.

Cut 2 sets of 6 petals from the Revitalize paper. Make one set slightly smaller than the other. I wet all of the petals with water, crumpled them, and then dried them. The small set of petals I used the side with the fine print. The large set of petals I used the side of the paper with the large print. I flattened them out and inked the high spots with the ink pad. I assembled the large set into a flower first and then layered the second flower over top. I hand cut small circle from the cream cardstock and then matted it with the yellow cardstock. I inked the cream cardstock then used the pearls to fill in the center. Using liquid glue, adhere the ricrac as a stem for the flower. I used a western type font to print with a sepia brown computer ink onto the cream cardstock. I hand cut the letters of the title out and then placed on a block of the Revitalize paper (the fine print side) - I also crumpled this and inked the creases and edges with the stamp pad.

The wood frame was painted in white. I used an espresso acrylic paint dabber from Ranger to streak the wood over top. The pearls were placed along the inner edge of the frame.

February 10 Club Kit

Tjis kit includes Grafix rubons (1 plain sheet for you to play with and 1/2 sheet pre-printed with elements), papers by upsy daisy, cardstock from coredinations (cream, light purple, dark purple), 1 yd. brown scrappers floss, 1 yd. striped ribbon, buttons, and brown flowers.

At first I was intimidated by the grafix rubons (that is funny because most people think I am fearless when it comes to computers and creating my own elements!) But, they were so easy. they have simple instructions. If there were two recommendations I would make, it would be to:

1. Be sure to give your printed rubon time to dry immediately after printing (also be sure you know how your printer prints. If you print on the glossy side, it is a very big mess.
2. Remember to reverse your printing if using text. If you use word 2007, make a wordart and then find the rotate option under size,rotation, and ordering in the toolbox.

For the layout above, I cut 1/4” from the printed paper shown and adhered it to a piece of the cream cardstock. I matted the picture in first the light purple and then the dark purple.

Follow the directions on the grafix handout to place the rubons on the layout. I created the title, date, and used two of the graphic elements included in the kit.

Use the brown scrappers floss (did you know this stuff was made from paper?) to knot the 3 buttons. Adhere to the layout.

Use your other materials to make cards. I used the other patterned paper and glued it to a card front. I rubbed the graphics onto either the cream of the light purple cardstock and then matted and adhered to the front of the card. Use ribbon lengths to add interest to the card. I was able to make three more cards for use for any occasion.

January 10 club kit

Our January kit features a beautiful 12x12 template from Crafter’s workshop, patterned paper from BoBunny, cardstock from Bazzill, and two items to use with the template: Chestnut colored pencil and a gelly roll sparkle pen. Ribbon and die cut words are also included.


For the layout above, the BoBunny die cut paper is adhered to one of the white pieces of cardstock. Brown cardstock is used to mat one of the photos. I used the template to add flourishes with the sparkle gelly roll pen in the lower left and upper right corners. It really looks great in person.


For the layout above, I tore a piece of the BoBunny paper to match the width of my photo and adhered above the photo. I placed a similar width of the same paper below the photo. All of this is matted on a large piece of brown cardstock. Using the template, I created a border with the chestnut pencil along the right side of the dark orange cardstock and then adhered the photo mat to the cardstock as well. Adhere the Be You title to the lower right corner.

December 09 kit

Have some fun with perfect pearls. If you have liquid pearls, you can mix the perfect pearls with it as well as other media like embossing powder, acrylic paint, stickles, ink, etc.

Use the brown cardstock as your base. Cut the patterned paper as shown so that the border and the snowflakes show. Cut a title from the blue cardstock as well as a 4 1/4” x 6 1/4” photo mat. Center the photo mat on the blue patterned paper so that the blue dots run behind the mat going down the 4 1/4” side. Glue together Cut the large tree out of the patterned paper carefully. Place the title, double mat, and tree down on a covered surface. Mix a small amount of water with some of the perfect pearls. Use the brush to paint around the outer edge of the photo mat, the parts of the tree, and the title. Mix more powder with the water to make it thicker (and if you wish, add liquid pearls to it and mis to make it foamy and airy.) Swirl along the bottom to create snow. as it dries you can paint some dry powder into the swirls to create more definition. Once dry, assemble. Using foam tape to place under the green parts of the tree gives additional definition. Adhere the red buttons with liquid glue. Swirl some of the perfect pearl liquid with a brush on to the top of the buttons. Allow all to dry thoroughly.
Perfect pearls can be used with any color ink, paint, or acrylic for a great effect.
Here is another project created with the kit (stamp your saying with ink and quickly brush with dry perfect pearls):

I have a new site to sell the products here. There are still a few bugs I am sure to work out but will slowly transfer all operation there.

November 09 kit

The November kit features my Mind's Eye paper and cork as the technique. Use the yellow colored cardstock as your background. Hand cut a heart from the cork. Punch out the two large flourishes, parentheses, and assorted items from the die cut sheet. Assemble as shown, matting the picture in green. The perimeter of the layout as well as the heart and flourishes were outlined with a pen. Cut your title out of the green paper and adhere all items to the cardstock.

Here are a few more projects completed with this kit:

October 09 kit

This kit features paper piercing, Little Black dress paper from Daisy Bucket and great cardstock from coredinations. Use the black cardstock as the background. Cut the patterned paper and arrange as shown. Be sure that about two inches of black border shows at the top and the bottom. Continue the flourish pattern above and below the black flourish paper by using the sharp edge of the tool and piercing though the paper. Use a small piece of sandpaper to rough the edges of the pierced hole to expose more of the white core. Use the flowers as accents. Candy dots in white were used as flower centers (candy dots are not included in the kit.)

I have a new site to sell the products here. There are still a few bugs I am sure to work out but will slowly transfer all operation there.

September 09 club kit

This kit features liquid pearls in opal and great paper from My Mind's Eye and cardstocks from Coredinations.

Use the brown cardstock as the base for the layout. Cut one of the patterned papers in half and use on the bottom half of both pieces of cardstock. Cut two strips of daisies from the patterned paper and adhere along the middle of the layout. Mat pictures with cardstock and patterned paper (the stripes paper is wonderful for this.) Use liquid pearls to create centers in the daisies and to draw the flourish designs on the stripe paper. Title and journal using cardstock.

More information on using liquid pearls:
Liquid Pearls are inexpensive opalescent paints that add 3-dimensional quality to your project. Use them to decorate paper, fabric, wood, or any craft project. Use liquid pearls to dot, draw, outline, color, write, glue, or create borders. Embellish scrapbook pages, cards, stickers, clothing or accessories, Easter eggs or holiday ornaments, or special occasion decorations. This product is much like the puff paint in craft stores but with a superfine tip for precise application.
Liquid Pearls is so versatile. Here are a few ideas:
• Dilute to make more like a pearlescent paint. Mix one or more colors together to create a blending of colors.
• Make dots in place of faux flatback pearls in a variety of sizes. Control the size of the dot by the squeeze of the bottle. The harder the squeeze, the thicker the flow.
• Embellish flowers with Liquid Pearls. Outline large details such as veins of leaves or centers of flowers.
• Color in areas that you want to highlight.
• Create a border using one or more colors of liquid pearls.
• Add additional color or accents to your Liquid pearls surfaces by coloring with a permanent ink pen once dried.
• Apply and swirl Liquid Pearls with a toothpick. Add a “froth-type” finish for coffee and cocoa. You can also swirl in a tiny drop of brown dye or Stickles color to enhance the effect.
• Create a rosebud by choosing two related colors – one light and the other dark. Place a large dot with the lighter color where you want your rosebud. Using a pin or paper piercer, place a small amount of the darker color on the point. You can always add more but cannot take away. Lightly swirl the darker color into the lighter. Don’t swirl too much. You don’t want to mix the colors but to be able to see the swirl of the darker colors. You may want to try this technique first before using on your project.
• Create flourishes.
• Create lettering by writing with your liquid pearls.
• Paint liquid pearls on your item and then sprinkle with glitter.
• Cut die cut letters and paint with perfect pearls to create puffy letters.
Tips:
• Always use Liquid Pearls as the last step in your projects. A long drying time is required of at least 1-2 hours. The thicker the application, the longer the drying time is required. I can't tell you how many projects I have ruined due to impatience
• Liquid Pearls has a tendency to create a pointy cone shape when you lift the applicator tip off of the paper. To prevent this pointy look, apply the paint then gently flick the back of the paper with your fingers until the Liquid Pearls becomes rounded. You may want to practice this first before using on your project. Make sure when lifting your project to hold the paper evenly. Tilting the paper causes the Liquid Pearls to move in the direction of the tilt.
• Once dry, finger or other pressure can also cause it to smoosh or leave marks.
• Place all practice paper and your project out of the way. Putting another project on top of a not yet dry project is a mistake that happens if not careful.
• If your applicator tip becomes clogged, insert a pin down the tip carefully and wiggle it carefully. If you can see the clog at the top, pull out with your fingers.
• If used on fabric, let it dry 24 hours and do not wash for three days.

August 09 club kit

This great kit featuring Artemboss metals uses Daisy Bucket paper from the Nantucket line as well as Coredinations cardstock.

Use the white cardstock as your base. Draw lines with pencil around the edge. Silhouette one of the images from the Harbor View paper. Cut two of the 6 x 6 squares from the other paper - the small dots and the circle frame. Cut 1" of one edge of the small dots squares and assemble as shown in the photo. Distress the edges of the paper. Tie the sheer ribbon around he vase of the circle frame square. Cut three floers from the silver side of the metal (used Quickutz). Punch 2 ferns or leaves (used a punch bunch hand punch). Buttons and a large brad were also used (not part of the kit). Punch a title from the blue cardstock and journal using black pen.

July kit - Glimmer mist

"BFF" by Louise Maine:

Use the red pepper cardstock for your background. Use die cuts as a stencil as shown in the lower left hand corner. Place the die cuts on the cardstock and spray with glimmer mist Lift off carefully. (These die cuts were used in the project as well as they were already coated with the glimmer mist through this last step.) Lightly spray other areas of the cardstock with glimmer mist.
From a corner of the Paisley paper, cut a ¼ circle leaving each straight edge of the paper 4 inches long. Adhere to cardstock. Cut a strip from the stripes paper approx. 3-4 inches long. Cut this into ½ inch strips, fold in half lengthwise, and round the ends of one end. Glue to edge of paisley paper. Spray ribbon with glimmer mist and adhere leaving bunches along the length. Create a tag from a scrap of red pepper cardstock, layer with a scrap of stripe paper and embellish with die cuts or flowers. Spray with glimmer mist. Adhere.
Mat pictures with the amaryllis cardstock. Create a title with the cardstock and spray all elements. Spray additional lengths of ribbon and adhere to the side of the picture and embellish with the glimmer misted die cuts.


Glimmer mist notes:
This water based product adds a great glimmer effect to cardstock, paper, chipboard, stickers, flowers, and ribbons, among others. First, be sure to only swirl your bottle to mix, do not shake. Shaking causes bubbles to form in the bottle and the mist may splotch when sprayed. Not swirling may leave too much of the glimmer material still at the bottom of the sprayer and cause it to clog. Starting with a covered surface (or use a mat), place your item on the mat and begin spraying slightly off the side of your project and mist across until your spraying is done. You can achieve different effects by spraying in different manners:
1. To create a light and even misted look: hold the sprayer about 5 inches away from your project and spray from side to side. Your hand should move quickly and evenly across.
2. To create a thicker look with large drops of color, hold the sprayer closer to your project. Move the sprayer slowly to allow more glimmer mist to fall on the project.
3. To create pools of intense color, spray the glimmer mist very close to your project.
4. Layer more than one color for a great effect.
Your project can be air-dried or use a hair dryer to speed the process. If the paper curls, place under a heavy object after drying to flatten out, or use a warm iron.

Try glimmer mist on the following:
• Stamp an image and then spray glimmer mist over top. A permanent ink pad will not run when using glimmer mist. If you are using a water based stamp pad, spray the glimmer mist first and let dry. Then stamp your image.
• Spray wood for a great effect.
• Spray on metal and glass.
• Create a stained glass look when sprayed on plastic.
• Stickers sprayed with the mist have a wonderful shimmer.
• Spray any ribbon or flower for an eye popping look.
• Spray chipboard or grungeboard with glimmer mist.
• Use a die cut or a pre-made stencil to place over cardstock. Spray and then lift up the stencil to see the image in negative.
If using on home décor projects, keep project away from direct sunlight and humid environments or use a protective coating over top. Glimmer mist will fade in sunlight or run in humid environments.

Note: Glimmer mist is water-based, archival safe, acid-free, and non-toxic.

June kit - Stickles

This kit features My mind's eye papers. To make the layout, the paisley paper was used as a background. The brown patterned paper was cut into strips and adhered to the base paper leaving some of the design to show through. Strips of blue cardstock was cut for the right side. The lavender cardstock was used to mat the picture and the white journal block. The sheer white ribbon was added for additional interest.

Use the stickles to follow the swirls on the brown patterned paper.

May kit - patterned paper

The May kit features patterned paper from the Laundry Line of papers from My Mind's Eye. Here are two layouts (and more hopefully to come.)
I cut a 5" piece from Coastal curious for the top part of the other paper (small dots). One row of large dots was cut and then matted with the rose colored cardstock. Mat one picture in the same cardstock. Cut a heart from the Coastal Authentic paper. Tie a small ribbon onto the center of the heart and attach a label with dates, names, quote, etc.

This second layout still needs something but have not found what I want to do. Simply it is the base cardstock with a 1" strip of the Coastal curious. Cut two blocks of the patterned paper to balance out the other pictures (each block is the same size as the pictures beside it.) I matted a clear Happy Birthday sticker onto a small piece of the cardstock.

There are many fun patterned papers in this kit that can create a large number of layouts. Very economical!

April kit - Invisibles and masks

There are so many possibilities with this kit it is hard to narrow down to the one that you want to do! This kit uses Heidi Swapp Invisibles, paper that has resist material already on it in a pattern. Swipe it with chalks, ink pads, glimmer mist, watercolors, or any other medium to color the areas except the pattern of the resist. Additionally in the kit is the Heidi Swapp mega masks in heart shapes.

Layout 1. Chalks and Cats eyes chalk ink pads: You color my world

Use the circle frame invisible paper for the above layout. I chose cats eyes chalk pads in a turquise, lime green, and magenta. I took the medium sized heart mask and placed it on the lower right side of the layout over part of the circle frams. I used the Tim Holtz alcohol ink applicator and added chalk colors to the felt material and rubbed it into the paper, blending it where two colors met. After lifting off the heart mask, I took 6 of the smal hearts and placed it across the white heart (underneath where the medium heart mask was intially). I used a tiny pom pom to add a darker blue colored chalk to the white area left by the medium heart mask. Be sure to go around the little hearts carefully to get chalk all the way up to the little heart masks. Once done, the little heart masks can be lifted off and you have the layou above as show. Adhere your pictures and print title and journaling on the white cardstock.

Layout 2. Using glimmermist by Tattered Angels
*This layout is not yet finished and will be updated when the information about the picture has been found out from my Grandma.
Trim 1/8 inch from 2 sides of the Invisible paper. We will adhere it to the black cardstock when we are done. Take the large thin heart frame mask and place it on the invisibles paper. I used glimmer mist in wheatfields to spray on the invisibles paper. Give it swome time to soak in and carefully blot the excess off and let sit to dry. I also had to iron the paper to smooth out by placing face down on a sheet of cardstock and ironing the back carefully. Adhere your picture, journal and title. This photo really does not do the layout justice. The glimmermist leaves a shimmery layer to the paper.

March technique kit - KI Memories lace paper

I have been wanting to play with lace paper. Paired with the great texture of Daisy Bucket paper, this is a fun kit. Lace paper can be easily altered with paints, inks, or chalks. I chose to keep mine unaltered and instead, cut in pieces for the layout as well as cutting flowers out of the Daisy Bucket papers.

The lace paper was cut following the way the flowers would be cut if it were not a whole sheet. I cut out about 30% of the paper. This was adhered to the pink cardstock.I cut out some of the flowers and paislies from both Daisy Bucket papers. The quote was printed on the blue paper drom the backside of the patterned paper and matted in yellow cardstock. the pictures were matted in blue color core cardstock.

Use the leftover cardstock, KI lace paper, and Daisy Bucket paper to make a few cards. A greeting needs to be added to each one, but you get the idea...

February Flock kit

Have you played with flock. It's a whole bunch of fun and adds great texture to a layout!

Background on Flock
Add texture and a velvety feel to any project with Flock! Flock is a very fine fiber that is used to add dimension and fuzzy accenting to scrapbook, stamped, or other projects. It comes in a variety of fun colors for any of your projects. Glitter can be mixed in with the flock to create sparkly accents for a dramatic effect. Pre-mix different colors or added glitter before flocking the project. Flock can be adhered to a variety of materials simply. Use on small areas and items or large areas of patterned papers for a great effect. Used on portions of an image can make the details of the image really pop.

• Use a glue pen or glue adhesive (high tack glue works the best) to outline or fill areas you want flocked. This can be used on an already stamped image, a portion of patterned paper, or on a hand drawn image you create. Keep the amount of glue as even as possible on the surface so the flocking will adhere evenly as well and not look lumpy. Spoon the flocking powder over the glued area and tap off the excess. Press the flock lightly into the glue with your fingers. Flock can be layered with a variety of colors. Start with your darkest color first and apply the lightest color of flock last. For more dimension, create layers of flocking with the same or a different color. Flock as described above. Once dry, add another thin layer of glue to the flocking and add more flocking on top following the same procedure.
• Flocking looks wonderful with double sided stickers or images you cut from red tacky tape/sheets. Use on single sided stickers (such as flourishes) by pressing the sticky side into flocking and tapping away the excess. Use glue on the other side to adhere to your project. Thin red tacky tape can be used to create flocked stripes on a project. Flock one sticky side of the tape by pressing flock in with your fingers. The other side of the sticky tape can be adhered to the project.
• Enhance punchies by using red tape sheets (double sided adhesive sheets) on cardstock that matches your flock. Punch out your shape, Press the sticky side into the flock and tap off the excess. Peel off the release tape on the other side to adhere to your project.
• Use flocking on chipboard shapes to add dimension. Use double sided sticky tape or high tack glue. Stack layered shapes for even more effect.
• Flocked areas can be stamped using a permanent ink pad. Flock your object first. Make sure the flocking has had a chance to dry and the excess has been tapped or brushed off. Stamp your image into the surface of the flock.
• Flock your brads! Use an embossing pad, high tack glue, or sticky powder to adhere flock to the surface of the brad.

A common use for flocking powder is in a stamped project. To flock an image, the following methods are suggested:

Using a glue pad:

• Stamp the image using a pigment ink, VersaMark, or embossing pad on to your paper.
• Pour the flocking fibers over the stamped image and tap off the excess.
• Let it sit to dry. To speed up the drying process, a heating tool can be used by heating through the underside of the paper and away from the flocking (the fibers may blow off if heated from above.)

Using sticky powder:

• Stamp the image using a pigment ink, VersaMark, or embossing pad on to your paper.
• Pour sticky powder such as Heat & Stick from Stamping Up or Stamp 'N Bond embossing powder over the image. Tap off the excess powder.
• Heat the image until the powder turns to glue (starts to turn shiny.)
• Immediately sprinkle flocking powder over the image and press in lightly with your fingers.
• Let dry completely. Tap or brush off the excess flocking.

Cautions:

• If highlighting with chalk on the same project, be careful not to let the chalk near the flock. Once it settles on the flock, it is impossible to remove.
• Let dry completely before adhering to your layout.

For the project:
From the Cosmo "Gothic" paper, two of the black images are cut to flock as well as two 4" x 12" strips for the layout. Use liquid glue to fill in the black patterned areas of the cut images. Spoon flock over top, pressing flock into the glue. Brush off the excess and set images aside to dry. Print a title on "Burning Embers" cardstock using a computer and fill in lettering with glue and flock as above. Trim and ink edges as desired.

Cut two 2" x 12" strips from the "Burning Embers" cardstock. Cut the Cosmo "Ominous" paper in half into two 6" x 12" strips. Layer the "Gothic", "Ominous", and "Burning Embers" pieces onto the "MacIntosh" cardstock as shown in the layout leaving a slight margin at the top and bottom of the two pages. Mat pictures with black cardstock and assemble layout as shown. Be sure the flocked images are dry before adhering to the layout.

January Fingertip Craft Knife kit

I am much better these days at not needing the latest and greatest tools. I have bypassed many a tool that has caught my eye. When it was decided that we would be using the fingertip craft knife for January kit, I was skeptical. Boy was I wrong!

This knife is great! I remember printing on reverse and using an exacto knife to painstakingly (or do I mean painfully?) cut out the words.

Back to the fingertip craft knife. It puts control in your hands much like using a pencil. Use your hand's natural motion and weight to make cutting easier. Just loop the craft knife over your index finger for a more controlled cutting experience.

For this layout: I used the light blue cardstock as the background. I also took this great green paper by Crate paper and cut it in half with the craft knife. I took the right side piece (that I was not going to use) as a template to cut out a duplicate on the cream cardstock. I pieced together and cut a thin curve from brown cardstock to cover the seam.

From the patterned paper, I cut out several designs using the craft knife. the two large flourishes fit perfectly to make a heart and hte other pieces served as anchors on the layout. I wrote "41" on the cream cardstock and used the craft knife to cut out around it. The rest of the wording was done in marker.

The craft knife was so easy to use. There were no numb spots on my fingers and the cuts were much smoother than using a conventional craft knife. I am sold on this gadget and you will love it too!

December Scrapaholix kit

I love this kit! Rarely do we do a holiday theme. The chipboard and papers from Sandylion are perfect (these are also discontinued by Sandylion but we have them for the kits!) I created this cute one page layout and several cards. I still have enough materials leftover for 3 cards. The coredinations burgundy cardstock is beautiful and sanding the edge gives a nice effect. I think the rest of the layout is self-explanatory as one paper is cut down to see the burgundy cardstock, and the other paper is torn as an accent piece. Chipboard pieces and brads round out the layout.

Here is the image of the cards:

You can use the materials and the chipboard to create tags for presents or decorate containers to make little gift containers for presents!
