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.

Other Supplies:  Joy Clair stamps, Imagine Crafts Ink

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)

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

Shamrock Shaker Card by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share some of the fun products that are found in the Clear Scraps March kit. This kit includes a Clear Scraps Heart Printers Tray, Shamrock Shaker and Aunties Acrylic album as well as papers from Simple Stories.

I love the shamrock shaker and thought it would make a great focal image for my card.  I began by painting the shamrock base and top layer with green paint.  You can paint all layers, but since some of the layers are hidden, I didn't feel it would be necessary to paint them all.

Once painted, I assembled all but the acrylic and top layers. 

I placed several different shaped green dew drops in the base.  Then glued the acrylic panel and top layer in place.

While waiting for the shamrock to set, I created my card.  I cut brown cardstock to fit my card, then added the shamrock paper.  Next, I tore the floral paper and added it to the card with a strip of pink cardstock between the layers. 

The shamrock was then adhered to the card and several stickers were matted and added below the shamrock.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Other Supplies: Cardstock, Plaid Paint, Dew Drops, Beacon Adhesive

Lucky Charm Shamrock Shaker card

Top O' the morning to you, friends! Leah here with you today to start sharing the coolest kit out there this month!

My lucky charm shamrock shaker card is so easy to put together! I have a little video sharing how I did that below.

 

 

Here are the quick instructions if you don't wish to watch the video. I started off by painting all the chipboard components to the shaker.

Once that dried, I cut out one of the journaling cards and adhered it to the back chipboard piece, and cut away the excess. I then adhered the top two cutouts to the back chipboard, added my lucky charm sticker, then added some Martha Stewart glitter from my stash to the shaker. You then peel the protective film from both sides of the acrylic and adhered that and then the top chipboard cutout.

The projects this month are amazing! You can find your March kit HERE in the shop!!

Cheers,

Merry Christmas Card by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share some of the fun products that are found in the Clear Scraps December kit.  This kit includes Clear Scraps Scallop Tri-fold, Window Shaker and Holiday Chip word as well Echo Park's Wisemen Seek Him collection.

Today I've use the Holiday Chip word with the paper collection to create a card and coordinating envelope.  The chip word is 2" x 4" and is perfectly sized to make a statement on all your projects.  I've used it as the focal point of my card.

Cutting cardstock to 6" x 12", I scored it to create a 6" x 6" square card.  Then I cut pattern paper and inked each layer before matting them with cardstock.  I also matted several stickers with cardstock.

 

I adhered the 3 panels together, then wrapped them with ribbon before adhering them to the card.

I painted the chip word with gold paint.  After it dried, I adhered it to the card, adding the stickers to the card with foam adhesives.

Using another sheet of pattern paper, I created the coordinating envelope.

I cut assorted papers to fit the envelope creating a panel which I wrapped with ribbon before adhering to the envelope.  A sticker was matted with cardstock, fussy cut and added to the envelope with foam adhesives.

Other Supplies:  Ink: Memento; Paint: Plaid; Ribbon:  Offray

Christmas Cards

Did I mention this kit is packed? There are so many projects and cards you can create with it.

I'm back today to share four cards perfect for the Holidays. 

 

First up is my Holidays card. The title is a Clear Scraps chipboard title we get in the kit. I painted it with Piccolo enamel paint and let it dry.

While the chipboard title was drying I used my Silhouette to cut out this cute card. It is removable so you can write a message on the inside.

It was easy to create these cards, just layering paper and stickers and a little bit of ribbon from my stash.

The ribbon here helps keep the card closed.

Between the journaling cards, stickers, and paper you have the ability to create some gorgeous cards.

Have a wonderful Holiday season, friends!
