Our best selling word book!

The Grand kids kit comes with all the letters, boards, and a full 1.5" chipboard alpahbet set. This means you can build grandpa, grandma, grand dog...just about anything you think is grand.

We've accented our book by painting the pages, and the backs of the letters with cream paint, then covering only the fronts of the letters with paper. (much faster). Our words KIDS was painted, then covered with ultra thick embossing powder for a high gloss finish.

We used the following supplies on this book:

Maya Road Pins (leaf)

Tim Holtz Baubles (on spine)

My Minds Eye Stella and Rose Mabel Little Lady Trims

My Minds Eye Stella and Rose Mabel Layered Chipboard

My Minds Eye Stella and Rose Mabel Love Letters Paper

My Minds Eye Stella and Rose Mabel So Sweet Herringbone paper

My Minds Eye Stella and rose Mable Play Silly Stripe paper

My Minds Eye Stella and Rose Mable Little Lady Fine Flowers Paper

Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive (for adhering paper to chipboard, and chipboard to chipboard)

Beacon's 3 in 1 fabric glue for adhering ribbon to paper

Cream Arcylic Paint

New Edge Album

The kit starts with Creek Bank Creations Heavyweight chipboard album, then includes complete instructions on how to accent the book, and add an additional two pages to the book using coin envelopes and tags! We've thrown into the mix some funny Dad quotes for you (father is a fellow who has replaced the currency in his wallet with the snapshots of kids), twill to accent with ink, a complete 6x12 alphabet sheet, and a ruler!


It's sure to please!

New Dimensional Chipboard Book....CLOCK

Here comes another one of our new chipboard books! The clock face! This book comes with chipboard pieces and pages. You must assemble. Layer clock elements to give your clock front a dimensional look. The letters on the front do not come with the book. They are listed in the supply list below.

The flower is made with tissue tape, and the wonder tape sheet I explained last week (scroll down). To make this one though you start from the outside edge and work into the middle, folding and pleating as you go.

This page has a pocket on the left...perfect with filling with tags. Can't help but use that zipper tape from My Minds Eye...(I love zippers).

New Styles of 6"x12" chipboard

New Chipboard styles to play with! Once again cut from our heayweight chipboard. This allows you to design and play with it to your hearts content. Two new styles Mini Banner, and Mini triangle. Great for making accents on your pages.

Here's a close up of the banner I made. I covered the mini triangles with paper, then accented them with stickles. I added the chipboard letters that I painted, and accented with stickles too. I adhered the bakers twine across the top with Beacon's Fabric tac. Great stuff when you need a tacky strong hold that dries clear.

Mini Triangles

Mini Banners

Supplies I used on this page:

Creek Bank Creations 12x12 Tree

Creek Bank Creations 6x12 Birds and Cage Chipboard

Creek Bank Creations 6x12 Mini Triangles Chipboard

Retail partners: We rack the chipboard products right with the papers in our shop. The 12x12 board comes in a clear bag with a hang hole. The 6x12 pieces come with a large hole for easy hanging. These pieces work great for kits and projects because you can use them for any color you want!

New Dimensional Sand Castle Book

The first in a series of dimensional chipboard books from Creek Bank Creations! I wanted to make books that had dimension to them, things we could pop up, put photos behind and stick things out of. Over the next few weeks you'll be seeing my newly designed chipboard books. All our books are cut from our heavy weight chipboard.

How many of our competitors albums could you cover with this amount of Mudd Puddles product....have it NOT warp...and still stand up beautifully?This sand castle book comes with parts, and 4 pages. The first thing you want to do is cover the castle parts, and water with Mudd Puddles. I used Malibu, ocean, and Tahiti. A THIN COAT of Mudd Puddles, then use the knife to clean off your edges. Allow to air dry 2 hours, then cover with wax paper and put a book on them overnight to dry.

Each kit comes with one extra piece of chipboard. It will be a smaller scrap piece. You'll want to take this piece, and cut small squares to adhere to the back edges of your next two pieces. I placed these small chipboard pop dots on the edges, giving the book strength. Adhere these pieces onto the sand castle parts using Scotch Quick Dry adhesive. Adhere the castle parts to the book using Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive.

The final step is to adhere the larger bottom piece. You will want to cut more chipboard pop dots, and adhere them to the castle just like the other pieces. I cut pieces to support the outside edge, and the lower bottom edge. It will help if you cut the pieces the same size as the castle parts you are trying to support. Adhere castle to page.

Now there may be places on the edges that your chipboard pop dots show. Just go back and cover those areas with Mudd Puddles and allow them to dry overnight.

There will be many new chipboard books coming in the next week or so. As I finish samples I'll be posting them here. I will list on the website when each book is ready to ship. This book will begin shipping next Wednesday (March 9th). Order the palm tree book here.

This is a fun 5.75x5.5.75 round book, simple for vacation or cruise photos. I've accented the book front with Mudd Puddles.

I've used:

Mudd Puddles can be applied with the applicator knife, and spread THIN. Allow to air dry 2 hours, then cover with wax paper and put books on top of it. This will keep your project from warping. If you are using Mudd Puddles on paper use it sparingly...it is a wet product and will warp your stuff!

Hope you enjoy seeing new products as they arrive!

I love the expression "life is good" so when this paper came out from 7 Gypsies I wanted to make something with it. I like this expression because it helps me focus on the many rich blessings in my life. This kit starts with Creek Bank Creations Scalloped chipboard piece which measures around 11.75x11.75. Now our chipboard sheets are simply BETTER than any other chipboard I've seen on the market today...and often ours is a better price. Our chipboard is board weight heavy stuff, so it doesn't flop over after you work with it. I've included an optical lens from 7 Gypsies, a full package of tags and lots of fun in this kit. I think it's fun to learn new techniques when you do a kit, and this kit has that! (keep reading) You can purchase the kit here.

Would you like to create your own board? Order the 11.75 Scallop here!

The kit contains all the papers, chipboard, embellishments and instructions for you to put the kit together at home. You will also need the following supplies:

black embroidery floss, rock candy stickles, Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy (or brown ink), Ink Blending tool if using Distress Ink, Creek Bank Creations Sanding stick, Adhesive (Scotch quick dry to adhere paper to chipboard, and Glossy Accents to attach lens to page), Brayer (optional), Sew Easy Stitch Piercing tool and blanket head for stitching. (please note we are out of stock of sew easy tools until mid march!)

You may of noticed this kit contains a flower. I've included the products you need to make the flower in the kit, and step by step instructions. It's worth me posting here how to make these flowers. Some say you need a special adhesive product to make these flowers. REALLY want you need is a great high tac adhesive, and a sheet of Wonder Tape from Ranger will do this for you. Wonder tape comes in a 8x10 sheet, and can be cut with scissors, or die cut into any shape you want. In this case we're cutting it into a circle......

H. Cut the twill so that you have about 1/4” left, and push it into the adhesive on the back.

When you get ready to put the flower on your page, just peel and stick it down. This looks great with twill, but can be used with any kind of trim. (wider stuff needs cut down)

Now that's really fun, really cool, and really easy!

By the kit here!

By the Wonder Tape here!

Earlier on this blog (yesterday) I posted a sale flyer. Did you see it? Did you notice the coupon for twill? Now you know why! Bring the coupon to the shows, or our shop, and use to to purchase some twill...then you can make your own flowers!

Oh Happy Day!
