Some CHA Goodness!

January 10, 2014

Aren't you just loving all of the CHA goodies that Clear Scraps is releasing? Hello, Guiseppa here and I want to share a couple of projects with you that are being releases.

Have you seen these awesome Word Frames? Clear Scraps is putting out ones made out of chipboard as well as acrylic. I played with the We Love Dad...made out of chipboard. I wanted it simple and masculine. I painted it blue and added some patterend paper where the letters are.

Fun right? There are so may things you can do with this. Try some pictures inside the letters.

Up next...a mini! This is a clear and chip album.

I simply decorated this album with patterned paper and sticker. So simple, but that is what is great about being able to work with clear scraps minis. Make it your own:)

I hope you have enjoyed my projects as well as seeing the rest of the teams. Keep checking the Clear Scraps Blog everyday to see something new and if you are going to CHA, make sure you stop at the Clear Scraps booth #1276

New Basketball Chip Album

January 09, 2014

It's almost time for CHA and that means new product reveals! I hope you've been enjoying seeing the fun new releases from Clear Scraps! Our design team is having a blast creating with all these Clear Scraps goodies!

Today I am sharing a fun mini album I created with the new Basketball Chip Album. This mini is perfect to document all of those action shots of your basketball star!

The cover of the album has open slots so you can show through your first page, or do as I did and insert different patterned paper in each slot. I used the cover as my pattern to trace each piece. Before adhering the individual pieces, I glued a solid piece to the backside of the cover.

I used my journaling pen to trace around each individual piece of patterned paper to help it stand out.

Each page, I used liquid adhesive to affix the paper to the chipboard. I then carefully trimmed around the edges followed by using my sanding tool to take care of any excess paper.

This album is big enough to fit 4x6 photos with a little trimming!

Thanks for reading today! You can check out the Clear Scraps shop to see all of the new products including this album! And be sure to follow us on Facebook to see updates from CHA in Anaheim starting this weekend!

Have a great day!

A Layout With Feathers Mixers

January 08, 2014

Hello Clear Scraps Friends. Elena is here to share with a Layout I made using

brand new Feathers Mixers

Feathers Mixers - These one of a kind embellishments are ideal for the mixed media artist. Each Mixer is approx. 3.5" x 8" and very versatile. Use as a stencil for both positive and negative images. In addition, you can remove the film and decorate as an embellsihment.

I decided to color them and use as the embellishments.
But at first I colored the XL Dots. To create the drips I used Shimmerz mists and then accented teh color with alcohol inks.

I colored the base with alcohol inks, added some texture with Shimmerz Texturez and made some random stamping with Staz - On. The papers are adhered to the bacside of the circles

The Feathers I colored with alcohol inks, stamped with Staz-On and embellished with rhinestones

and this is the texture on my LO

Stay tuned for more inspiration from our DT, as the new products are really awesome

Mixer Sneak Peek

January 07, 2014

Hi everyone! Wendy here with a sneak peek at two new items being released!

I am so excited about this Polka Dot Mascil! Its the perfect background for scrapbooking and cardmaking. I used it to add clear embossing paste to an acrylic 12 x 12 sheet and then sprinkled glitter over it while it was still wet.

The butterfly is a new product called Mixers. You can use the negative and postive pieces as stencils or use the acrylic pieces as embellishments as I did in this layout.

I'm a Bird Watcher with Clear Scraps!

January 02, 2014

Hi everyone, Connie here with another way to use the Birds acrylic border by Clear Scraps. Don't be afraid:):), cut it apart.

I cut the bird border into three sections. I used Fast Finish Decoupage by Beacon to adhere the vintage book print, to the back of the bird sections. I used the Woven Paper by DCWV to make the tag border.
