Today, I have 2 projects to share! A card and a little notebook!
I worked with Spellbinders S5-074 Retro Mod Clocks and a coordinating stamp set from Unity Stamp Co., also called Retro Mod Clocks. The stamps add such great detail to the clocks.
First, I put together this card......
Do you see what I mean about the detail on the clock? All the scrolls and shape lines!
First, I stamped the clock with black ink and clear heat embossed it. Then I aligned the matching Spellbinders S5-074 Retro Mod Clocks die template and taped it in place. I cut it out using my Grand Calibur Machine. I also had the clock face die template in place to cut out the clock face at the same time. I stamped the clock face again on cream card stock with black ink and also clear heat embossed it. I used the matching clock face die template to cut it out. Of course, it fits perfectly in the clock!
For the card background, I used just a portion of Spellbinders LF-190 Grand Labels Four #6 (#1 being the smallest) to cut the shaped background from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas "trees" paper. I made the same cut on black card stock. I matted it behind slightly offset to add the narrow border.
Below the clock, I created a border with at strip of My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas "Boughs" paper and black card stock. I cut one edge of the black card stock with Spellbinders E8-002 Classic Bracket Edgeabilities. It makes a great border to define the space for my verse. I also added another strip with the bracket edge at the bottom. I added some tiny dots of black Enamel Accents across the wider strip.
This card is 3 1/2 x 8 1/2".
For my second project, I dressed up a Target notebook .
This is what it looked like before.......
and the the notebook after........
I added a clock and a verse to the cover! Really quite simple and quick!
The clock was stamped and heat embossed with gold embossing powder on black card stock. I cut out the clock using the matching die template from Spellbinders Retro Mod Clocks. This time I didn't cut out the clock face. Instead, I stamped it again on cream card stock, cut it out with the matching Spellbinders die template and glued it over the black clock. I used a Versamark marker to ink a few details on the clock and then heat embossed those spots with clear embossing powder. It adds a few shiny accents!
I stamped the verse with black ink and clear heat embossed it.
I inked the cover a little with Distress Vintage Photo to add a little more color. I inked the back cover, too.
On the inside cover, I stamped another verse.
A quick and inexpensive project when you need just a little gift!
Thanks so much for stopping!!!
