Tin Tiles Doorway Mini Album

Hello everyone, Debby here. I am so excited to be your guest blogger for today. I've been a member for three years now and I am constantly awestruck with the designs, quality products, and variety in every Club Scrap collection. Recently Club Scrap celebrated its 15 year anniversary by releasing the Tin Tiles Anniversary Collection.

Club Scrap Tin Tiles Collection
The imagery reminds me of ornate historic buildings and antique architecture. The collection comes with directions to make ten beautiful 12 x 12 scrapbook pages, however, I like to make mini albums, so I decided to make a doorway mini album inspired by one of the cutapart quotes. The doorway cover features the dry embossing folder included in the collection. The inside pages feature collection papers, cutaparts and tags decorated with the stencil included in the collection.
Tin Tiles Doorway Album Cover 
The doorway cover is made from chipboard with a cut out window and transom. I painted it with silver acrylic paint as a base for additional embellishment.
  • The "tin" accents are foil sheets embossed with the Tin Tiles embossing folder, antiqued with Distress Paint.
  • Punch Collection papers with the EK Success Scroll Pattern punch and add as accents.
  • The window is an acetate sheet with an antiqued jewelry medallion adhered with Glossy Accents.
  • The door knob is a Tim Holtz Ideology hitch post.
  • Behind the transom is an acetate sheet dry embossed and antiqued with bronze Distress Paint.
  • The door was finished with black marker lines and black inked edges.
Inside cover with the cutapart quote that inspired the project.
Internal pocket pages
The binding is a Stack the Deck Binding designed by Laura Denison. The pockets were made from ivory #10 envelopes cut on the diagonal and slit on the side.
  • Each pocket is attached to the spine tab with Club Scrap Bookbinding Glue, and covered with Tin Tiles collection papers and Gold Foil Handmade paper from the Trees collection.
  • Pockets are further decorated with Tin Tiles Cutaparts, papers, and left over embossed foil accents.
  • Ribbon accents were added to the flaps and some of the pages.
Tags created as inserts for the pockets
The pocket tags are decorated with stencil techniques or papers and accented with ribbons from the collection.
  • Dark blue tag: Emboss with Tin Tiles embossing folder and ink raised areas with Club Scrap white pigment ink
  • Light blue tag: Stencil with watermark ink, emboss with clear EP then antique with Distress Ink
  • Grey tag – Ink Tin Tiles stencil with Club Scrap white pigment ink.
  • Manila tag: Reverse stencil image from grey tag (place over white inked stencil and rub the back to transfer). When dry, antique with Mahogany Distress Ink and rub with a damp cloth to reveal the reverse stencil image. 
I hope this gives you an idea of the possibilities with the Tin Tiles Anniversary Collection. It was so easy to make a delightfully coordinated project, adding just a few optional embellishment from my stash. To see more of my Club Scrap projects see my blog listed below.  
Thank you for reading and happy crafting!

Happy Anniversary, Club Scrappers!

Earlier this month, you may have read Tricia's blog post announcing Club Scrap's 15th Anniversary on June 1, 2014. According to tradition, tin is the symbolic material of this milestone and it represents preservation and longevity. While it is technically considered a "common" metal, instead of a "precious" metal like gold or silver, tin is still rare. In fact, it may be the least available of all common metals. We think this is fitting since Club Scrap is also rare and unique! We are blessed to forge ahead into our 16th year of creating one-of-a-kind paper and stamp designs.

To celebrate this milestone, we are releasing a very special 15th anniversary collection, Tin Tiles. Jac really outdid herself with the lovely tin tile artwork arranged in a visually unique 3-dimensional design. It really is a feast for the eyes.

The Tin Tiles collection includes everything you see here.
The Cutaparts make embellishing the pages so easy!

You'll love the 5x7" Embossing folder.
Just look at the stunning effects you can achieve!
Gorgeous!
The crowning jewel? This 10x10" masking stencil. It ROCKS!

Isn't that mask spectacular?

Here are Tricia's finished ALSB pages with photos from Emily's junior prom. Both mother and daughter are just beautiful, aren't they? You'll love the versatility of the paper designs. The quotes and sentiments on the Cutaparts can be used for anything life brings your way.




Emily and Ian make such a cute couple!


Happy Anniversary! Celebrate by getting a versatile and beautiful Tin Tiles collection of your very own.

Creatively yours,
Karen

June 2014 - Picnic Collection





We are happy to present our brand new Picnic collection, shipping tomorrow! (Oh, the agony of the first of the month falling on a weekend.)


A Note from Tricia
Happy anniversary to us! We are overjoyed to launch our 16th year of creating and shipping monthly kits. Let's see . . . that adds up to 181 collections, themes, color palettes, shipping days, etc. I am indebted to my incredible team of staff and contributors and to our enthusiastic, loyal members who have made it all possible. We are looking forward to serving up original collections for another fifteen years!

In honor of this milestone, we have a talented team working on some major updates to our website, chat forum, gallery and member involvement areas, as well as a fresh look/logo. A project of this magnitude will take a few more months to complete, but we know it will be worth the effort. Please take a moment to ensure that you have copies of any artwork posted in the galleria that you would like to keep.

What's Ahead?
Our theme for July's collection was born after the color palette was chosen. Our very own Brenda Nejedlo begged until she was blue in the face to get her Oopsie Daisy theme. (Our whole design team was pretty excited about it, but we didn't let on.) The shades consist of mellow neutrals and the cheerful artwork is going to make you smile. I wonder if we can get Brenda to make some cards.

Kit and Color Details

This month's font is BigelowRules-Regular. The intricate, whimsical detail of the theme pairs well with the bold, simplistic images in the kit.

Our design team used the following RGB numbers to create the collection. If you like making digital projects, here are your color profiles:
