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).

I had some time last weekend to work with the new Roughin It line from Bo Bunny Press. This is a camping themed line that is great! I love the happy, bright colors which are great for camping pages. This line includes camo paper, hiking text, and even a page for smores. If you aren't a "camper" per say you might find you like the "outdoors" theme or the tree paper. It's just a great collection. I had fun working with the papers and added some chipboard from Creek Bank Creations. I used some leftovers from the rings sheet, accented them with some red ink and used them to highlight photos on my pages. I used the Don Waun Cartridge from cricut for my letters and the die cut heart on the bottom left.

Papers I used

2 sheets Bo Bunny Press Roughin It Nature pattern paper. (this is the green paper) Cut at 11.x11. and put on at an angle.

2 sheets Bo Bunny Press Roughin It Happy camper paper. (this is the wood grain and wood paper).

2 sheets Bazzill Maraschino Cardstock. Note here: I planned how I wanted to use the paper on this layout and then I cut the middle out of the papers so I could use them on other parts of the page. The large wood grain circle, and word accents are cut from the papers I saved and cut out.

1 sheet Bazzill Yellow Cardstock

1 Sheet Bo Bunny Press Roughin It Stripe

1. The hammer and pounding surface matter. Use an acrylic head hammer or a steel hammer. My preference is a steel hammer. My guess is they are selling acrylic hammers in the store because they don't cost as much to ship. (I have a background in eyelet setting that is extensive and I will tell you the hammer and pounding surface are important). You need a solid surface. No plastic tables. I did my project on the garage floor. You don't want this bouncing around...so no rubber mallets and no soft surfaces.

2. Water. Melody Ross says to spray the chipboard with water and in her videos I even see her using a foam brush to apply water. Our experience is that you need to apply water, a thin mist. I used the mini mister for this. Too much water causes the chipboard to warp. Then LET IT SIT until it looks almost dry. This gives the chipboard time to let the water soak in, giving it a chance to make a deep impression. You don't want the chipboard to actually dry, just let it soak in!

Then let the pounding begin!

I painted our letters red, then painted yellow on the birds, and wiped most of it off with a wet wipe.
