Making tiny Art

Real quick note: here is your reminder! Today is the LAST day to submit your applications for the new Clear Scraps Design Team! Get those applications in!

Now on to Rita!

 

What can you do with a

  clear acrylic shapes, a little cardboard,

glitter, stamps

and some art supplies?

Make an ATC!

Hey bloggers Rita Barakat here!

I stamped directly on the acrylic with Staz On ink.

Then added glitter on the back - make syou use one of those glues that dry

tacky ( I use Scrap Happy glue) only add the glitter after it's

completly dry!

* Tip*

To adhere the painted cardboard to the acrylic I used heavy gel matte medium

(You can use Zip Dry for this too)  only in areas that are covered; Like behind the glittery bird,

the little saying on the bottom and the letters on the top!

No one will ever know!

Unless you tell them! ; )

**Tutorial** Happy Thoughts Layered Dry Erase Memo Pad by Pinky

Good morning Clear Scraps friends, 

Pinky here with a tutorial today on making your own LAYERED Dry Erase memo pad. 

You can see that I layered crocheted lace in the memo pad. If you scroll down I will share how you can make your own!

• Start with TWO- 12X12 sheets of Clear Scraps acrylic. Trim to 8X8" (you could also use 2 mini album pieces!).

• Peel (BOTH SIDES) off protective coating from bottom layer. Add patterned paper to top of acrylic. 

• Stamp and embellish layering pieces as you would a scrapbook page. (Paper used: Pink Paislee. Stamps Used: Avocado Arts).
• Adhere crocheted lace (just like you would a layout).

• Lay bottom embellished sheet down, using foam pop dots, place dot in each corner. (Same spot on each corner).

• Peel protective film off second sheet of 8X8 trimmed Clear Scraps acrylic. 
• Carefully lay acrylic onto foam pop dots. 

• Using buttons or pearls, adhere OVER foam pop dots (to hide them), I used metal pieces. (Momenta).

• Add magnetic strips to the back or a hanger. 

That's it! Easy and beautiful!


I hope you are inspired to make a Memo Pad today!

I Adore You!!!

Hello hello!! Adora here to share with you this little accordian frame I made fofmy grandson!!!I used the Clear Scraps Acrylic Scalloped Tags. I love to embellish my desk with little knick knacks like this! :) Perfect for tight spaces!!

Here's how to: First, trace and cut the shape of the tags onto the paper. Glue the paper on the back side of the acrylic. Paint the edge with a similar color of the paper or smear stazon ink. (it's a good way to hide the glued area) Then attached the tags side by side using a ribbon or twine. Use rub-ons and cut out stamped images to embellish the top side of the frame. There you have it! Fast and fun project accomplished :) 

Here's a bigger view!

Other supplies used: Basic Grey Paper, Tim Holtz Paint and Zip Dry Glue!

Thanks for stopping by, until next time!!!

We look forward to seeing you!

Get your cameras!

Hey there bloggers Rita Barakat here! I thought this would be a fun project to

 share as I know many of you are vacation! You have to find something for all

of those vacation photos right? How about this cute little camera chipboard album?

Now you know I had to go and paint the pages, but if you are not inclined to paint it you

could cover your mini with your favorite paper! Isn't this a great shape?

Here's a couple of pages - we visited a shelter for

exotic cats and my son fell in love with the animals so of course I had to make him

his own little book! He shared this with all his friends!

!

He loves this book! This is the back cover - I don't usually do animals but this

was his idea & his book, so I had to try it.

The mane is very cool because it has texture - I used modeling paste!

I hope this gives you ideas - all those vacation photos in minis... That's a good idea!

P.S. If this is an album for your kids you might want to seal it,

I used matte gel medium, but any sealer will do!

Supplies

Clear Scraps Camera Chipboard album

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos & PITT pens

Golden matte gel medium & gesso

Hello Monday-Perfect Day Acrylic Card by Pinky!

Good morning Clear Scraps friends, 

Pinky here with a FUN and CLEAR acrylic card using the 12X12 Clear Scraps acrylic sheets. (LOVE THOSE SHEETS!).

You might have seen it featured on Avocado Arts site and Pinterest. 

 For this card I used Clear Scraps 12X12 acrylic for the base (Trimmed down to 4X6), 

I stamped the clouds, 4 of them. Then cut them out and

layered them. I used StazOn to stamp the kite trail onto the acrylic.

 And I used a cool ORANGE Sharpie Paint pen to surround the entire card.

Those Sharpie paint pens are a fun time on acrylic, I tell you what.

It was a fun card to make. So grab those Sharpie Paint pens, and stamps and have a little fun this week! Don't forget tp apply for the Clear Scraps Design Team, it's a wonderful team to be a part of!

Happy Crafting-

You Are Beautiful- Acrylic Wall Hanging by Pinky

Good morning Clear Scraps friends, 

Pinky here today with an inspiring wall hanging that I made from the Clear Scraps Butterfly Mini Album.

I love that this mini album is large enough to be a great album or will make FIVE wall hangings or projects! That's a great deal if you love making these as gifts.  

For this piece I began by running Beacon Zip Dry around the edges, then coating with Clearsnap glitter. 

I added vintage lace, and all the pre-cut butterfly embellishments. 

For the curved paper, I places the decorative acetate paper underneath, then curved the paper with my hands, adding foam pop dots to keep it up. then adhering the edges. 

It never hurts to have these pre-made to hand out as gifts when someone has that one day they need a little encouragement. 

Sometimes everyone needs to hear "You are beautiful". 

Have a very blessed day and be sure to enter the Design Team Call!!
