Clear Scraps- Creating Made Easy Kit Club

Love Never Fails wood sign

Hi, again friends! Leah back with you today to share this super cute new medium deco wood pallet included in the January 2019 Q kit.
The deco wood pallet is 8" x 8" and is perfect for your home decor needs.

To get started, I painted my sign with acrylic paint from my stash. It just wasn't the look I was going for, so I also pulled out distress oxide inks from my stash and blended a few different colors on top of the acrylic paint to create a custom background.

I then grab the raindrop heart stencil and modellier cream from the kit and stencil hearts all over the background.

The modellier cream dries really quick, especially with the help from a heat gun. 

I waited until the hearts were dry before repositioning the stencil and adding more hearts. Repeat until the sign is full.

Next, I wanted to add a hanging element, so from my stash, I used some sewing thread and my tiny attacher and stapled the thread to the backside of the sign.

There are videos you can find showing you how to open up your tiny attacher as shown above.
This allowed me to staple the thread down without limitations from the thickness of the wood.

Next, we'll add the 12" bling from the kit as a decorative edging around the sign. Try to keep most of the bling attached to the clear backing sheet, and only pull away a couple inches at a time. Trust me, it is easier this way! lol

You can maneuver the bling around the edges by working slowly. I found it easier to work each quarter of the sign, which allowed me good starting and stopping points.

From my stash, I found a cute transparent sticker and adhered it to the Graphic 45 paper, leaving a small matt around the edge of the sticker.

I also added in two flowers from my stash and adhered them to the sign.

Check out the texture the modellier cream creates with the stencil. I love it.

New Wood Phone Stand

Happy New Year Clear Scraps friends, Leah here with you today sharing the super cool new wood Phone Stand from the January 2019 Q kit.

From my stash, I stained the wood phone stand using Antique Wax. This is easily done by brushing the stain on and wiping it right back off. Do this for both phone pieces.

See how lovely the wood grain shows through? 
Next, using washi tape from my stash, I mask off the raindrops on the 6" raindrop heart stencil included in the kit.
I do that to prevent the raindrops from being stenciled onto the phone stand.

To create the pink/coral color for the hearts, I use the Viva Modellier Cream from the kit and mix in a few drops of alcohol ink from my stash. Just mix it on your craft mat or paper plate.

Then you're ready to apply the hearts to your phone stand.

Using a craft knife or old credit card, apply the modellier cream to your phone stand. Move the stencil around, being careful not to disrupt the previous hearts you've stenciled. *Note, that if you apply the modellier cream to the stand insert (the smaller piece) you will have to sand down the stenciled hearts later on so it will slide into the phone stand easily. Set these aside to dry, which doesn't take long at all. Let's fussy cut some paper from the Graphic 45 paper pad.

Once your phone stand is dry, sand it for a distressed look (sandpaper from husband's garage, hehe) if you'd like. 

Time to adhere those cute fussy cut images.

I also added some of that 12" bling from the kit above/below the small paper strip shown below.

And there you have it. A great decorative addition to your nightstand or desk that's not only functional but pretty, too.

Cheers,

Leah Crowe

Floral Sign by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with another project using contents from the January kit.  Today I'm using The Wood Deco Pallet and the Graphic 45 Flutter collection.

 

 I painted the sign with pink paint to coordinate with the Graphic 45 papers.

Strips of pattern paper were cut and glued to the panels, leaving some of the wood showing.

I fussy cut a floral element, inked the edges and added it to the sign allowing it to flow off the sign in certain areas.

I cut apart additional elements from this collection and placed them along the bottom of the sign.

Thanks for stopping by.

Other Supplies:  Plaid paint, ImagineCrafts Ink

Stencilled Heart Cards by Steph

HI everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a set of cards using the Heart stencil, Viva Décor Modeling Cream, Graphic 45 Flutter paper pack and Want2Scrap bling from the January kit.

 

This stencil is perfect for Valentine's Day, Anniversary and Love creations. 

Placing the stencil on cardstock, I used a pallet knife to spread the modeling cream.

Look at the beautiful effect on both pink and red cardstock.

I created cards from black cardstock and matted each stenciled panel with black cardstock so the panel would pop.  Using papers from the Graphic 45 Flutter collection, I assembled the red card, placing ribbon between the layers.  To finish I added Want2Scrap pearls around one of the hearts.  A small sentiment was then added to the left side.

The pink card was assembled without ribbon.  Again, I placed Want2Scrap pearls around one of the hearts. 

As I wanted to create an anniversary card, I added an anniversary phrase and placed several pearls under the phrase.

There you have 2 different cards with one stencil.

Thanks for stopping by.

Acrylic Double Sided Sign by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here sharing another project created with the January kit.  I'm using the 4" acrylic mini album and both the Graphic 45 Flutter paper pad and the Studio Light Winter paper pad.

Wanting to do something different, I turned the mini album into a double sided sign.

One side of the sign uses Graphic 45 Flutter papers - a bright and cheerful sign.

 One side uses the Studio Light Winter paper creating a soft Christmas/Winter themed sign.

I cut pattern papers slightly smaller than the acrylic panels and inked the edges before adhering.  Additional papers were torn, inked and added to the panels creating 8 different panels.

I punched additional holes in the panels then tied them together with twine.

Now once winter has passed, I can turn the sign over and dream of spring.

Thanks for stopping by.

Blinged Out Phone Stand by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share my first project created from the January kit.  This month's  kit contains amazing products - a wood heart phone stand, 4" acrylic mini album, wood deco pallet, heart stencil, Graphic 45 Flutter pattern paper pack and Studio Light Winter paper pack and Want2Scrap bling!

I used Plaid paint to paint the phone stand a nice violet color.

Once It dried, I cut the pearls to fit around the hearts. As the pearls are self stick, it was easy to form them as needed.

I think the pearls really helped highlight the die cut hearts in the phone stand.

Thanks for stopping by.

Find Joy Medium Deco Pallet

Hello! Jennifer here to share one of my projects I  created with the January Q 2019 Kit! I used the new Medium Deco Pallet which is one of two wood products included in the kit. The Deco Pallet is the perfect shape and size for any home decor project. 

I  began by painting my pallet in grey chalk paint. Then, I  chose a fun pattern from the Graphic 45 8x8 Flutter Paper Pad. I  cut my paper down to fit just inside my pallet. I  cut my background into strips to fit the slats of the pallets. 

Using the 6 Inch Rain Drops Heart Mascil,  I  applied a light layer of the modeling cream to my paper.  I  absolutely love playing with this medium as it goes on smooth and has a beautiful shimmer once dry! 

Here is a close up of the effect on the patterned paper! 

I  then used different patterns from the paper pad with my Silhouette to cut flowers as well as my title.  The strips of bling from Want 2 Scrap are perfect accents! Here, I  applied a cluster to the middle of my flower.

One of the nice features of the paper pad is that you have two sheets of each pattern. I  used a second sheet to fussy cut a butterfly to use as an embellishment. I    then added a small strip of bling to the center.  

Once I  was finished, I  used my Crop-o-dile to punch holes at the top of my pallet. I  then strung yellow seam binding from my stash through the top so I  could hang my project!
