Let it snow Card
December 27, 2010
Hello Everyone... It's me Elisa and I today I am taking a few of my favorite Clear Scraps products, Inks, gels etc and mixing them together to create a fun clear card.
Yes even the card itself is clear. I love the 12x12 Clear Acrylic sheets because not only can you cut them down for cards but you can put a piece of it through your Sizzix and die cut any shape you like with your Sizzix as well as using any embossing folder you might have to add texture to your acrylic pieces.
Products used:
- Clear Scraps 12x12 Acrylic Sheet
- Clear Scraps Buckle Frame
- Clear Scraps Mini Snowflakes
- Embossing folders
- StazOn Metallic Silver ink
- Viva White Pearl gel
- Viva Blue Glittered gel
- Krylon Red Shimmer leafing pen
- Bazzill Bling cardstock
- Snowflake punches
- ribbon
- Glue Arts Mini Glue Squares
- Beacon 3 in 1 Adhesive
Simple tips and instructions.
- Emboss your pieces first with the clear coating still on
- Cut your 12x12 Acrylic to desired card size I did 8.5 x 5x5 and scored with the coating still on.
- remove coating from all sides
- Ink the back of the snowflake with Metallic Silver StazOn
- Using the blue Viva Glittered gel to further emboss the embossed image of the snowflake and set it aside to dry. (Takes about 30 min to 1 hour to dry)
- Using the Krylon red shimmer pen and colored the embossed image and set aside to dry (takes just a few min)
- While the pieces are drying punch some snowflakes out of the Bazill bling and adhered them to the front of the card using Beacon 3in1 adhesive
- Center the Clear Scraps Buckle frame and adhered with Glue Arts Mini squares (they fit perfectly behind the embossed image)
- center the Clear Scraps Mini Snowflake and adhered to the frame with Glue Arts Mini Square. Tie a bow with the ribbon and add it to the top of the snowflake.
- Using the Viva White Pearls add some pearl dots to the snowflakes big and small aswell as the card itself and set aside to dry.
I hope you enjoyed this post and see how easy it is to use Clear Scraps Acrylic pieces as embellishments and how easy it is to hide your adhesives behide bits of color etc.
