Scrapblocks™…This Way, That Way
I’ve been playing more with the new 6″ x 6″ Scrapblocks™ being released next Tuesday (June 3rd) by Cornish Heritage Farms. There are so many great ways to use them. I wanted to show how they can be used for portrait AND landscape oriented cards.
America the Beautiful
Here, I used the “Writing Paper” Scrapblock™ in a landscape format, carefully coloring the stamp by dragging a corner of the red and blue stamp pads across the lines.
The eagle, flag and sentiment are from “America the Beautiful” and the branches are from “U R A Hoot,” both from the Kim Hughes Collection at CHF.
The images were stamped, colored and cut out. The flag and sign were tied onto the branches with string I colored using a brown Copic marker.

Card size 5” x 5”.
F is for Father
Here I used the “Writing Paper” Scrapblock™ again but in a portrait orientation. I added some stamped-off swirls and sponged the edges, using Denim ink for all.
The “F is for” and “father” are from “For the Men” and the swirls are from “Beautiful,” both from The Rummage Bin line at CHF.

Having the option of stamping in either direction is just one of the (many) things I like about these new 6″ x 6″ Scrapblocks™.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
LOVE the way you got the red and blue writing lines on the scrapblock! was that hard to do? does the ink want to dry? And isn’t that a big area to “huff” on, if you use your breath to keep the ink moist??? hmmm….
fabulous Michele….duh, I never thought of using the lined paper for anything but, uh, lined paper!
