Hello and Welcome to the Club Scrap
Graffiti Collection Blog Hop!
I was a bit late starting my project this month, because
of all the wonderful articles in the Club Scrap Creates Graffiti Scrap Rap e-zine has caused
a plethora of ideas to swirling around in my head. Once I settled down the Graffiti collection has helped
me focus on two things I have wanted to do for a while (1) get back into card
making and (2) play around with my Gelli Plate.

To make my Assembly Line Card Making (ALCM) IdeaDecks more accessible I make this card file using a scaled down version of
Laura Denison’s Accordion Recipe Box Pattern and video. My box is 6 x 4 x 2.5 inches. A bonus is that I can use the cute tins the
Idea Decks came in for an altered project; it may even turn up next month. ;-) What
I really like about this pattern is the way the box opens to create an easel
for the idea card. I colored in some cut
aparts to decorate the box and finished the top with Glossy Accents.
Next, I pulled out my Gelli Plate. I had to have,
but until this weekend I had not used it. Club Scrap Creates was there to inspired me with this post from Tricia. For my first experiments I
keep it simple only using the Graffiti squiggle heart stamp and some bright acrylic
paints. Here are some of my very first
samples. It was great fun to just mix
colors, so I made a bunch more.
Finally it was time to ALCM some cards. I selected the Seven of Hearts from Idea Deck
Two to make four Matchbook Cards. I
always have trouble following directions, so I used the sketch a starting
point. The Gelli Plate art panels became
the main panel of the card and I used the diagram to cut my other papers
efficiently. I stamped greetings in neon
and India ink and again colored them. I added a yellow/orange paper
from the Club Scrap pattern basics to the mix as distressed mats and finished
with Graffiti Ribbon.

I hope you have enjoyed all the inspiration from the
blog hop this month. Your next stop is
with Janet and Dishing with Janet or you can return to Club Scrap Creates for
the full list.
Until
next time,
Happy
Creating,
Debby
Tremendous cards and project.
