Blog Hopping with Arnold Grummer and Club Scraps


Welcome to my stop on the Falling for Handmade Paper blog hop! Today we have a dozen talented bloggers sharing projects featuring handmade paper using Arnold Grummer's Papermaking kits paired with Club Scrap's Falling Leaves collection. I created a mini purse that comes with a surprise inside!

Create the purse from red cardstock.   Instructions for the purse can be found hereCut a selection of leaf papers to fit the panels, both inside and out.  Once you create and assemble the pockets, the purse comes alive.


Make paper using one of the Arnold Grummer Papermaking Kits.  Using portions of some of the papers from the Club Scraps Falling Leaves Page Kit, I created my pulp, mixing in some Brilliants for Paper, then used the Garden Press and blotters to dry the papers I created.  

Once the papers dried, I stamped assorted leaves and sentiments using Club Scraps Falling Leaves Stamps.


I fussy cut some of the leaves, and die cut several phrases.  Handmade papers stamps and die cuts as easily as regular paper.


I created 4 cards using assorted papers, ribbons and stamps.





And the surprise is that the four cards (as well as the envelopes) fit inside the pockets of the purse.  


Add a Velcro dot to the closure tab to close the purse.  Wouldn't this make a fun gift?






WENDY BELLINO is your next stop. As you explore the hop today, we encourage you to leave each blogger a few kind words in the form of a comment. Those who leave a comment on every participating blog will be entered into a random drawing for a prize. Good luck.

A full list of participants can be found on both the Arnold Grummer blog and Club Scraps blog.

Thanks for stopping by.

  17. Steph this is such an awesome project! In what a wonderful gift to give to someone! I love how everything fits inside the purse and the cards you made are gorgeous! I got one of the Arnold Grummers paper making kits in July after seeing all the wonderful paper that was made for Earth Day, but I haven't even opened the box yet. You have inspired me to open the box and get started! Thanks for the inspiration!
