Welcome to the Hop!

Today is the monthly Club Scrap Blog Hop, and I am glad you are here! Today we are celebrating the June Cape Cod kit, and I have two projects to share with you! If you started on the Club Scrap Creates Blog, you are in the right place. If not, keep in mind that you can access the whole list of hoppers from there at any time.

My first card uses is a Curved Fold card from the Move It CD (which was released in March). I decided to cut into the 12"x 12" paper to use the 10" lighthouse for the focal image. I loved cutting out and stamping the lighthouse images - it took me back to the many, many times that I vacationed on the Cape. If you are familiar with the geography, my in-laws had a house in Chatham (if you are not familiar, it is on the elbow of the Cape). The lighthouse images have particular meaning for me, because the most well-known area on the Cape is the Chatham light.

The second card I made for the hop is also from the Move It CD -- it is an Inside Out Card. The images were colored with Pastel Chalk Pencils. I used the Cape Cod Stencil to add a textural feel to the inside, and I used the netting and charm embellishments on the outside of the card.

I hope you have enjoyed the artwork today! Time to visit Julie Heyer -- The Cape Cod Scrapper. You just know she has something wonderful in store for you.

One last thing. If you would like to enter the drawing for a Move It CD, you can still leave a comment on the Club Scrap Blog on the link HERE (comments on today's post will not be counted; only those on the Club Scrap Blog will be eligible to win). The winner will be announced tomorrow.
Enjoy the hop!

Move it - Shape it Blog Hop

Welcome! Today we are hosting a Blog Hop to celebrate the launch of the Technique Junkie new sister CDs: Move It and Shape It.. This is the last stop of the hop, so if you arrived here from Tricia O'Bin's blog, you are in the right place! If not, please take a minute to start at the beginning at the TJ Design Team Blog: http://techniquejunkies.blogspot.com. Most of the designers made two items -one from each CD - so you are in for a treat with this hop!

I decided to show you two of my favorites. First, from the Shape It CD, Here is an example of the Folding Screen Card:

I have been hoarding this gorgeous Graphic 45 paper and it was just screaming to be used on this screen. I LOVED cutting it into these pieces to decorate it!

My second card  is an example of the Upright Diamond Fold from the Move It CD:

The gorgeous stamps are from Sweet Stamps. This card folds flat, too.

Each of the CDs has 25 tutorials on it. They may be purchased separately for $9.95 each, or you can buy them together for $17.95. You save on shipping, too! The CDs can be ordered here:

Gift Card Pop Out Desk

Today I am the guest blogger on the Club Scrap Blog, so I thought I would double-whammy you with a companion project! I have a (different) Gift Card Pop Out Desk posted on the Club Scrap Blog - and I have a link on that blog to the tutorial from the Move It CD for how to make the project. It is one of the 25 tutorials on the Move It CD. If you do not have any Technique Junkie CDs, I suggest you go over and click on the link the tutorial is a great example of how ALL TJ CDs are presented.

The Gift Card project here is different from the one on the CS blog. This one uses stamps from a Club Scrap kit from several years back, Toolkit. I paired it with some old Wild Asparagus paper I had in my stash, along with a piece of wood paper that I picked up along the way. Wouldn't this be great with a Home Depot gift card inside?

Here is the outside of the card - I really loved the Duct Tape theme!

If you would like to order the CD - or it's companion CD, Shape It -- you can do so right from my sidebar, or go directly to the Move It - Shape It description page. Each CD is $9.95, but if you buy them both they are only $17.95 - and you save on shipping costs, too.

Make sure you check out the Club Scrap Blog -- have a great day!

Triple Message Shadowbox

Sometimes you just get hit by inspiration and you have to let it out. That is how I felt when I created this tutorial. I love shadowboxes, but I wanted mine to do more -- this one does, times three! This is one of the 25 techniques on the Move It CD: Triple Message Shadowbox. Here is the card with the messages inside:

Pretty enough, right? Then each of the two sides pull out for this:

Isn't that fun? I am actually teaching this technique at two upcoming Rubber Stamp Shows: Stamping by the Sea in Ocean City MD, on April 5th, and the at Stampfest Orlando at the end of June. If you are in the area, check out the websites and come see us!

The Move It CD has 25 tutorials and is $9.95. It has a companion CD, too -- Shape It. That CD has another 25 tutorials on it, and is $9.95 also. If you buy both, they are only $17.95 - and you will save on shipping, too! 

There is a link for ordering on the sidebar of this blog, or, if you prefer, you can go to the Move It - Shape It page and order from there.

Have a great weekend!
