You are my sunshine

Hi Clear Scrap fans! Tonya here today to share with you a card that was made using a 12x12" Clear Scraps sheet of acrylic. It's super easy to make a clear card base with this product. Just simply cut out the size of card base you want and score it a couple of times down the middle. I score it on the front and the back a couple of times each and then just fold it in half.

Here is the card that I made using the above technique.

                                           

                                           

                                           

I used the Simple Stories new Summer Fresh line for this. The center piece for the front of the card is actually one of their transparencies...a perfect fit for some Clear Scraps!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Bellgrave Send It Clear Card

Howdy friends, Leah here with you today to share a new to me technique and a beautiful Send It Clear card. We will be using the Bellgrave card, alcohol ink, Spray mist of your choice, and a Clear Scraps sentiment stamp.



Here's my finished card

I used my Cameo to cut out this butterfly using My Minds Eye pattern paper.

It is actually pop dotted on the card.

I wanted to add a little bit of product to the front panels, enough to create a frosted look, but not anything that looked like snow.

So I grabbed some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and spritzed it onto my alcohol ink applicator.

Grab your Mixative Pearl Alcohol ink next (shake well)

and generously add drops of it all across the top of the mist

I absolutely LOVE this pearl mixative. I need more in my stash!

Peel the protective film off one side of your panel, then take your fully loaded applicator and pounce, straight up and down, moving all over the surface of the acrylic.

Can you see the light pink sheen mixed with the alcohol mixative?
(In this photograph, the protective film is still on the bottom side.)

Let it air dry about 10 minutes, or speed up the process by heating with your heat gun. Then let it sit to cure while you duplicate the process on the other card panel.

I bet you can create some lovely creations using this technique.

Here's the card opened up.

and a closer look of the stamped sentiment on the inside.

I hope you've enjoyed today's card!

Just because

Sometimes it's fun to make a card just because you want to and then give it to someone just because. This card was made using more product from the Spring Jubilee line by Pink Paislee. 

                                            

 

It all started with a Scallop Send It Clear Card from Clear Scraps. I outlined the edges of the card pieces with a gold paint pen. Then adhered my paper. The butterfly, die cut, button and twine were adhered to the edge of the left sided flap.

Perhaps my favorite part of the card is the rub ons. I love the way that they look against the acrylic! Both of the pretty colored butterflies on the front and the branch and birdcage on the inside are rub ons.

                                           

                                           

Hope you all enjoyed this bit of inspiration that I shared with you today!

Clearly Spring Cards!

Good morning and Happy Spring from Pinky!

With spring finally here I am so ready to play with spring colors and make spring themed cards. I love the light and delicate feel/look of the Send It Clear Cards for this card I used the Regular Send It Clear Card and on the outer flaps I use acetate glitter paper. Perfect for that special touch. 

I cannot wait to give this to a friend. 

I know many of you have asked about assembling these cards, so next week I will be placing a video tutorial on this blog with step by step instructions!

You are going to LOVE these cards I promise.
