Snow Scene Layout by Pinky

Hey there Creating Made Easy friends, it is Pinky today with the Feature Project for January! Which means every kit comes with a step by step for this project. I had a lot of fun playing with the stencil in this January Kit, so I decided to make this Clear Scraps Acrylic Layout, and basically make the entire background. 

For this layout I actually painted both sides of the acrylic, it has such dimension in person. 

For the snowflakes I used a light blue paint I had in my stash and Modeling Paste (also from my stash) and for the trees a pretty chalk paint, and coated the entire back of the acrylic in a bronzed oil paint. 

Every step is included in the January Kit, I am in love with this stencil for sure. 

Be sure to grab yours today, and subscribe, it's a fun kit to open every month. 

Happy crafting friends, have a wonderful week!

Winter Mini Album by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share some of the fun products that are found in the Clear Scraps  January kit.  This kit includes 2 Clear Scraps 12x12 acrylic sheets, Stencil, Tab Album, Snowflake Shaker and Snowflake word along with American Craft's Sweater Weather paper collection and sticker sheet. 

 Today I've use the chipboard Tab Album to create a winter themed mini album.

 

This paper collection and the stickers work so well together it's easy to focus on creating mini layouts.

I began by inking each chipboard page with brown ink and cutting assorted papers to fit each page.

Stickers were then added as appropriate to each layout.

 

Once completed, I used ribbon to tie the pages together.  Stickers were added atop a large die cut circle for the front cover.

Thanks for stopping by.

Other Supplies:  Memento Ink; Bazzill cardstock; Ribbon

Snowy Fun Mini Tab Album by Pinky

Hello again Creating Made Easy friends and subscribers, it's Pinky again today and I am excited to share the fun Chipboard Mini with you today. I took a different approach to the Creating Made Easy January 2018 Kit, for this mini I painted it with some Chalk Paint I had in my stash in a wintery blue color.

I used INKA GOLD (my stash from a previous kit) and the Stencil in the January kit to create the trees. And acrylic paint for the snowflakes. 

I love how it turned out, and there is a step by step for this in the January 2018 Kit!

I also added photos of each page below:

A beautiful kit ready for your own personal touch. 

Happy Crafting friends.

Winter Fun Layout by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share some of the fun products that are found in the Clear Scraps  January kit.  This kit includes 2 Clear Scraps 12x12 acrylic sheets, Stencil, Tab Album, Snowflake Shaker and Snowflake word along with American Craft's Sweater Weather paper collection and sticker sheet. 

Today I've used one of the acrylic panels to create a winter themed layout.

 Placing the stencil on the acrylic panel, I used painter's tape to hold it in place.  I added molding paste to the trees.  

Once the trees dried, I replaced the stencil and spritzed it with green ink.

With the assortment of winter themed papers included in this kit, you can mix and match the elements you want to use.  I adhered snow paper to the reverse side of the acrylic panel,then used molding paste to create a snow effect around the entire panel. 

Then I selected an assortment of paper elements that would work with the layout.

I die cut several photos, placing them together, then cut January from one of the papers to use as a sub-title.

 Thanks for stopping by.

Other Supplies:  Memento Ink, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist

Imagine Layout

Hey, friends here's my last layout with this sweet January Kit. I did use some scraps to create a CUTE Tag over on the Clear Scraps Blog here if you wanna see it. hint, there is a NEW product for 2018 on it!!

My layout today features this Imagine word title and the Christmas tree layered stencil on a 12x12 acrylic sheet.

As you can see here, I added too much paint and it leaked beneath my stencil. I'm a lazy scrapper, so I left it. but if you mess up as I did, you can totally clean it up and stencil again!

I used chalk paint from my stash, and while it was wet I added fine glitter to the title. Once dried, I sprayed it with acrylic sealer to lock in the glitter.

You will have a blast using the products from the Creating Made Easy January kit!!

Snow day layout

Hi CME friends!! This January kit is so amazing to create with.  On this layout, I feature a super cute snowflake shaker on the 12x12 acrylic sheet. It adds the perfect embellishment to dress up my winter layout.

The shaker is created by painting it using chalk paint from my stash. I've been experimenting with it lately and it dried quickly and is perfect for all things Clear Scraps chipboard!

I then used the layered stencil to add snowflakes on the top frame of the snowflake. I also adhered some old pearls from my stash to add some dimension.

I cut out a piece of the background paper and adhered to the back frame of the snowflake. This cute little snowman sticker was added to the background too.

Adhered your snowflake frames together, then add a little glitter or snowflakes to move around later.

Then adhere the acrylic frame to seal in the glitter. Once dried, adhere the top frame and any other embellishments you wish. I added a couple of sticker stars from the kit, and the brrr title.
