February Club Projects

I found this fun tutorial here and changed up the theme to work for this month. Check out the tutorial to assemble your surprise pop-up card.

TIP: Use mini glue dots to adhere smaller hearts.

August Club Projects

Here is a fun card I found on the internet somewhere. When all folded up this is what it looks like.

When fully opened, the card looks like this.
This is not laying as flat so you can see where/how to crease the scored lines and attach the cardstock to make it fold correctly.

Standing up.

Our 12 x 12 pages were super fun for those camping trips you took this summer.

If you prefer to make cards than scrapbook below are 4 cards to make instead. If you have any questions about the supplies used to make the projects or how to assemble them please leave a comment or e-mail me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

From Scrapbook Pages to Cards

I have two new ladies in my club this year that prefer to make cards. I only found this out shortly before our club last month and I decided to expand the options at my club. I will use the items in their kit for club to create 4 cards instead of the 2- 12 x 12 pages. There will be supplies left over that they are free to create with at home. Here is what I came up with for my May club.

12 x 12 spread


The 4 cards (Sorry the pics aren't that great.):



I cut one of the 12 x 12 papers into thirds (4" wide strips, the folded and cut as needed)


I cut one 6"x 6" piece out of the remainding 12 x 12 paper and folded in half to make a 3" x 6" card. This gives enough paper for 3 more 3" x 6" cards left, or a ton of 3" x 3" cards.


You can't see it well in the pic, but I stamped thank you in white ink on the green part below the elephant.



it opens...


then opens again.

This is 4" x 5 1/2" and I folded the front of the card back in half and decorated it.

It opens to reveal the writing block.

I hope you have enjoyed changing from scrapbook to card making, or you can take the idea from a card and make a spread...maybe I'll do that in a later post.
