Angel Pallet Ornament Card by Nancy Nickel

Hello, everyone!

 

It's Nancy Nickel here with another project share using the fabulous October Q Kit.

This time I'm sharing my Angel Pallet Ornament Card.

This project is a Christmas Card and Gift all in one.

 

I began by using the gorgeous Creative Impressions Gilding Polish from the Kit, to paint my wood Angel Pallet. 

I set this aside to dry, and went on to prepare my card.

I cut a 5 1/2" square card base, using cardstock from my stash.

I then added a piece of 5 1/2" green cardstock from my stash, 

and adhered it to the front of the card base.

I cut a 5 1/4" square of striped paper from the Authentique Holiday Collection, included in the Kit.

I adhered this in place, on top of the green cardstock. 

I positioned the dry Angel in place on the front of the card.

Using a piercing tool, I poked holes on each side of the neck,

as well as on each side of the wood support lower down.

Refer to the photo.

Then I threaded some metallic cord, from my stash, 

through the holes.

For the neck holes, I tied the bow on the front of the card,

and left some longer tails.

For the lower holes, I tied a short knot on the inside of the card, and trimmed the tails short.

I cut this sweet tag from another one of the Authentique Holiday Collection Papers, included in the Kit.

I matted it with a scrap of green cardstock,

and added some more of the pretty striped paper,

before adhering it in place to the inside of the card.

Now the recipient of this card can untie the bow,

and snip the lower knot,

to simply remove this Angel ornament from the card.

The metallic bow can be retied around the Angel's neck,

 a hook can be inserted in the back,

and the Angel is ready to hang on the tree!

A personal message can easily be written on the back,

or a name and year can be written/stamped on the front!

Isn't that fun?

Other Materials Used:
Papers: Cardstock - White, Green; Metallic Cord - Green, Gold; Tool: Paper Piercer.

I'll be back with another project very soon! :o)

Angel Mini Pallet Shape

Hello! Jennifer back to share another project I created using the October Q 2018 Kit! This kit was so fun to work with and I  am loving the new wood products!  One of the new releases is the Angel Mini Pallet Shape! I  wanted to make an ornament to hang on my tree this year!

Instead of painting, I  decided to cover my Angel with the patterned paper from the 6x6 Authentique Nostalgia paper pad. Using a ruler, I measured the height of each section. I  then cut the pattern I  wanted to use and adhered with liquid adhesive. 

I  followed the same steps for the middle section.

For the top section, I  simply used a larger piece of paper that I  knew would cover the entire piece.

Turning the pallet over, I used my x-acto knife to cut away any excess paper. 

Next, I  used my sanding tool to smooth the edges. 

Lastly, I  applied distress chalk in to the edges of the pallet.  

I  used a Crop-o-dile to punch holes at the top of the "wings" to thread bakers twine through. I  also adorned the front with cut files from Silhouette  as well as added enamel dots and a cork star from my own stash. 

Thank you for stopping by! Visit the Clear Scraps shop for details to order your own October Kit! Have a great day!

Additional products used:  bakers twine: My Minds Eye; gold foil cardstock: Recollections: cut files: Simple Stories "Be Merry"  #171205, "Christmas Tree" #70164; enamel dots: Simple Stories; chalk ink: Quick Quotes; adhesive: Beacon. 

 

Santa Banner by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share some of the fun products that are found in the Clear Scraps October kit. The kit includes a Wood Pumpkin Shaker Album, Wood Mini Angel Pallet Shape, Wood 5 piece Small Banner,  Carta Bella Fall Break pattern paper and sticker set, Authentique 6" x 6" paper pad and Gold Treasure Gilding Polish.

I love mixing and matching pattern papers and these papers from Authentique provide for a nice backdrop on the banner pieces.

I began by inking each panel with red ink.

Next, I cut pattern papers to fit each pennant.  I tore the striped paper into strips and added them to the pennants atop a piece of black cardstock.

Using additional papers, I die cut circles and distressed the edges.  SANTA was die cut using my Cricut.

The letters were added to the pattern paper circles and then matted with black cardstock circles to make them pop.  The panels were arranged by design and the letters added.

Twine was added to the banner pieces and tied.

Other Supplies - ImagineCrafts Ink, Black Cardstock, twine

Fall Cards by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share some of the fun products that are found in the Clear Scraps October kit.  The kit included a Wood Pumpkin Shaker Album, Wood Mini Angel Pallet Shape, Wood 5 piece Small Banner,  Carta Bella Fall Break pattern paper and sticker set, Authentique 6" x 6" paper pad and Gold Treasure Gilding Polish.

 

I created cards from brown cardstock.  Using Clear Scraps Wood Grain Stencil, (not included in kit)I placed it atop cardstock panels.

Using Gold Treasure Gilding Polish, I created the backgrounds for my cards.  The included sponge applicator made it easy to paint the stencils creating amazing backgrounds.  And with minimal drying time too!

Once the panels dried, I adhered them to my cards.

Using the Fall Break sticker sheet, I matted the leaf strip with cardstock then added it across the card.  A large oval was die cut and the truck sticker was added.  Finally Autumn was added to cardstock then fussy cut before adding it above the truck.

A checkered panel was matted with cardstock and added across the card.  The sticker panel was added to a larger die cut panel and added to the card with foam adhesives for dimension.

Other Supplies:  Clear Scraps stencil, cardstock, Spellbinders die

Thankful Banner by Nancy Nickel

 

Hello, friends!

 

It's Nancy Nickel here today with a fun new project using October Q Kit which you can find in the shop HERE. 

This is such a fantastic Kit, with so many wonderful creative possibilities!

For my first project share, I want to show you one of the banners I created.

To make this banner I used two of the wood banner pieces, along with one of the wood pumpkin shapes from the pumpkin shaker album.

I covered the wood pieces with the Carta Bella Fall Break Collection papers.

Then I inked all the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

 

The paper covered the pre-punched wholes in the pumpkin shape.

I punched new holes in the papered pumpkin using my crop-o-dile.

I used an assortment of matching 1/8" ribbons to tie all my pieces together, and to create hangers.

 

 

Finally, I added an assortment of stickers from the sticker sheet to the front of each banner piece.

It's such a fun Fall project to make!

Other Materials Used:
Ink: Distress Ink - Walnut Stain; Ribbon: Offray 1/8";
Punch: WRMK - Crop-o-dile; Adhesive: Scotch Glue Stick.

Angel Basket by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share some of the fun products that are found in the Clear Scraps October kit.  The kit included a Wood Pumpkin Shaker Album, Wood Mini Angel Pallet Shape, Wood 5 piece Small Banner,  Carta Bella Fall Break pattern paper and sticker set, Authentique 6" x 6" paper pad and Gold Treasure Gilding Polish. .

I'm using the Wood Mini Angel Pallet today.

This panel is approximately 6' tall and I thought she'd be perfect on this basket.

I painted the Angel with Gold Treasure Gilding Polish using the included sponge.  The Gilding Polish is a fun product that adds amazing color to your projects.  It covers in one coat and dries relatively quickly.

I adhered the angel to the basket, then added some tulle to fill the basket. 

Think about adding some little gifts inside and giving as a hostess gift or giving to teachers or caregivers.

Other supplies - Beacon Adhesive, basket, tulle

Pumpkin Shaker Album by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share some of the fun products that are found in the Clear Scraps October kit.  The kit includes a Wood Pumpkin Shaker Album, Wood Mini Angel Pallet Shape, Wood 5 piece Small Banner,  Carta Bella Fall Break pattern paper and sticker set, Authentique 6" x 6" paper pad and Gold Treasure Gilding Polish.

The Wood Pumpkin Shaker Album is wonderfully detailed.  It consists of 2 die cut pumpkin panels, 1 acrylic panel and 4 solid pumpkin panels.

I began by painting each panel with the Gold Treasure Gilding Polish.  It is simple and easy to use with the included top stored sponge.  It really provided great coverage.

Then I die cut large ovals to fit each panel using fall pattern papers.

The front shaker panel was created by adhering the acrylic panel between the 2 die cut wood panels.  Once dried, I added some Prima Marketing Art Stones that would float around the front panel.  Then I adhered a solid pumpkin panel to seal the art stones in place.

The  sticker panel is full of autumn elements. 

I chose to add some of the stickers to punched cardstock circles. FALL was also added to cardstock and placed down the pumpkin.

 

The panels were tied together with twine, giving the pumpkins a more rustic look.

Additional stickers were matted with cardstock and added to each page.

Twine was also wrapped around the stem pf the pumpkin to finish the effect.

Other Supplies - Prima Marketing Art Stones, twine, cardstock

Pumpkin Wood Accordion Shaker Album

Hello! Jennifer here with my first project using the October Q 2018 Kit!  Fall and Christmas are my favorite times of year so this kit was so fun to work with! I  have to say the Pumpkin Wood Accordion Shaker Album is my favorite!  

The beautiful fall colors of Carta Bella's Fall Break is perfect for the Pumpkin Album! You also receive the coordinating 12x12 Sticker Sheet! I  love the banners that I  adhered across the front of my album....I  added bakers twine from my own stash to complete the look. 

Also included in the kit is Guilding Paste from Creative Impressions. I  can tell you this goes on like butter and looks beautiful on the wood! Plus, the jar has a built in applicator on the top!  

Next, I  took my second wood frame and added strips of the patterned paper behind the slats of the pumpkin. 

When you are preparing to add embellishments to the shaker portion of your album, it is best to remove any static electricity. I  use an embossing sachet or a dryer sheet works too!

Next, I  added some chunky gold glitter to the center of my album!

Now, I'm ready to add my acrylic piece. It is best to use a liquid adhesive and apply it to the wood and not the acrylic.

Lastly, I  adhered my top wood frame that I colored with the Gilding Paste.

I  covered each of my pages with the patterned paper from the kit and embellished with journaling or photos from a recent trip to Utah!  I  found it best to apply my liquid adhesive to the wood page and then place my paper over the top. Once dry, I  used scissors to cut away excess paper. I  also used my x-acto knife and a sanding tool to smooth my edges. 

I  used a coarse brown bakers twine to tie my pages together. You can also use ribbon or chrome book rings!

Thank you for stopping by today! Be sure to keep checking out the blog this week to see more design team inspiration!  Have a great day!

Additional products used:  bakers twine: My Minds Eye, The Twinery; adhesive: Beacon, Thermoweb; cardstock: Bazzill; glitter: Recollections; stamp: Heidi Swapp; stapler, ink: Ranger; misc: vellum, typewriter.
