Trees Candles

I have one last Club Scrap Trees project to share today.  The Club Scrap Forum has lots of support, inspiration, chat, and challenges. The impromptu challenge for this month is tissue paper.  It reminded me of some candles I've made using stamped tissue paper from a Splitcoast Stampers tutorial. Here are my candle decorated using Trees stamps with CS hybrid ink and Trees fibers and leaf embellishments.

Pocket Card and Frame Formula

Welcome,
Today I'm making even more cards for my favorite sources of card sketches: Operation Write Home (OWH) and Retro Sketches.   I'm using elements from the Club Scrap Lock and Key Collection and their Assembly Line Card Making (ALCM) method for efficiently using paper.  To see more card making formulas see their blog Club Scrap Creates.  For this ALCM formula I used three sheets of 12x12 paper and six sheets of 8.5 x 11 and some extra scraps to make 9 cards.  For the formula direction see the end of the post.

OWH Pocket Card

OWH #195

Retro Sketches #3

The line drawing below shows how to cut each of the three sheets of 12x12 paper and three sheets of 8.5 x 11.  The remaining three sheets of 8.5 x 11 are cut in half and folded to make six A2 cards.  With this formula and some extra red scraps I make 9 cards.  What I do combine the papers together for each card, but put all the extra scraps together to use for the extra accents.  Also I pick some ribbons, punches, and embellishments. I made these last week for the frame challenge for Club Scrap Assembly Line Boot Camp (ALBC).

The line drawing below shows how to cut each of the four sheets of 12x12 paper and the four sheets of 8.5 x 11 and some extra scraps to make 12 cards.  What I do combine the papers together for each card, but put all the extra strips and some matching scraps together to use for the extra accent.  Also I pick some ribbons, punches, and embellishments.  This week I'm making cards that sparkle for Club Scrap Assembly Line Boot Camp (ALBC) so I pulled out some dry embossed metal sheet, brads, and rhinestones.

Card Formula Crazy Using Trees Collection

Welcome to the Club Scrap Trees Collection Blog Hop!

To return to the start of the hop here.

This is the 7^th week of the Club Scrap Assembly Line Boot Camp (ALBC) and I have found my card making stride with over 100 cards created. For more information on ALBC on the page above.  I admit it, I have gone a bit crazy with the card making formulas, so it is fitting that I would come up with a formula for the Trees Blog Hop that makes these ten cards.

I love the beautiful heavy weight Club Scrap paper and the talented folks at Club Scrap have many card making formulas to efficiently use your paper.   The blog has many card making formulas and most are based on 8 ½ by 11 inch paper.  I tend to end up with many 12x12 inch papers and the talented Julie came up with a formula for me as shown at Club Scrap Creates.   Here is a post with my cards using the Trees Kit.

I wanted to make more the wonderful Club card formulas and use up even more of my 12x12 inch paper.  So I came up with a formula to use the extra parts left over after cutting an 8 ½ x 11 inch paper out of a 12x12 inch sheet.  The details of the card formula is shown at the end of this post.  I selected two card sketches from Retro Sketches.  What I like about their sketches are all the various options given by the by the design team and participants.  I selected Retro Sketch #97 and Retro Sketch #50 because I really liked the way these particular sketches made use of negative space.  When making cards I cut the paper then sort them into piles for each card.  All the scraps go to the side of my work space for accents.  Then I make up each one at a time trying making them unique using scraps.  

Retro Sketch #97

Retro Sketch #50

I  also selected a Club Scrap formula for OWH sketch #171 for four sheets of 8 ½ x 11 inch papers. I added one 8 ½ x 11 inch paper to the three 8 ½ x 11 inch papers from my formula to make four more cards. I cut out both formulas so I could pick from the scraps while assembling each card.  

 OWH sketch #171

I love the CS Trees Collection imagery, so I worked out a way to keep the tree trunk in the sampled images.  I place the three smallest panels on the card base with a temporary adhesive.  Then I stamped them all with a combination of Club Scrap Hybrid ink in Earth, Moss, and Leaf.  I removed the small panels and finished the cards with Trees stamps, Trees fibers, Greetings, and a bit of bling.

Your next stop is with the talented Janet from Dishing with Janet and the beginning of the hop is at Club Scrap Creates here.

Card Formula for Scraps from cutting a 12 x 12 inch paper into a 8 ½ x 11 inch paper  

To use this formula you will need three 12 x 12 inch papers and three 8 ½ by 11 inch solid papers.  For these six papers you will get six A2 cards and three 8 ½ x 11 inch papers.   Below is my cutting sketch for turning each 12 x 12 inch paper into an 8 ½ x 11 inch paper and piece parts for the Retro Sketch cards.  Then each 8 ½ by 11 inch solid paper is cut in half and scored for the A2 card bases.  All the paper parts listed below:

·         Three 8 ½ x 11 inch papers

·         Six 5 ½ x 8 ½ inch solid card bases, scored at 4 ¼ inch

·         For Retro Sketch #97

o   Three 3 ½ x 4 ¼ inch main mats that can be punched or diecut

o   Three 3 ½ x 1 ½ inch papers to use for a punched or diecut accent

o   Three 4 ¼ x 1 inch strips to use for a greeting

·         For Retro Sketch #50

o   Three 3 ½ x 4 ¾ inch large mats

o   Three 3 ½ x 1 ½ inch papers to use for the long rectangle

o   Three 4 ¼ x 1 inch strips to use for a greeting or accent

Absolutely Card

I get the new Retro Sketch every Saturday and the newest #107 really impressed me.  Today I put my "absolutely" diecut from Simon Says Stamps together with Club Scrap supplies to make a Retro Sketch entry.  In addition this will be an entry for Club Scrap’s Winter Assembly Line Boot Camp Week 7. For more information on ALBC see the tab above.

Four Trees Cards from 12 x 12 inch Paper

This is the 6^th week of the Club Scrap Assembly Line Boot Camp (ALBC) and I was looking for a card making formula using 12 x 12 inch paper.  Luckily my appeal on the Club Scrap Forum was answered by the very talented Julie came up with a formula for me as here at Club Scrap Creates.  I used two 12 x 12 prints from the Club Scrap Trees Collection to make four cards.  To make the cards fit the ALBC week six theme "Framed" I added Trees matting papers.

I ruined one panel so I replaced it with a stamped white panel from the Trees matting papers. For stamping I used Club Scrap Hybrid Inks in Fern, Moss, Earth, and Sandstone.  To these I added antiquing with Distress Ink in Tea Dye, Brushed Corduroy, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, and Broken China.
