Hey there Clear Scraps friends, it is Pinky today and I know everyone has been asking about the New Clear Scraps Layering Stencils, so I thought I would make a video using one of them, the Steampunk Balloon Layering Stencil, which I used on a tag!
This was a fun tag to create and perfect for my mixed media use of the Layer Stencil.
Here is the video of how I used the stencil, and hopefully give you an idea of how these thicker stencils are perfect for mixed media or art projects,
You can also download the video here:

Happy Crafty day friends, enjoy your Wednesday.

Hi, Connie here to share my May tag using the Film Strip Chipboard embellishment along with the 6" Flourish Branch stencil by Clear Scraps. The ranch is really green and I have been taking lots of photo's so that is the inspiration for the May tag.
I have prepared a collage showing the steps in creating this tag.
Cover the chipboard tag with pattern paper. I chose a newspaper print. Use Black StazOn ink to add color to the Film Strip chipboard piece. Add pattern paper behind the Film Strip chipboard piece. Stencil background, using the 6" Flourish Branch, on the tag front and then adhere the Film Strip chipboard piece to tag front. Finish by adding flowers, a butterfly and rhinestones. Add twine and ribbon to complete the tag.
Products used:
Clear Scraps: Chipboard tag
Clear Scraps: Chipboard Film Strip embellishment
Clear Scraps: 6" Flourish Branch stencil
other:
pattern paper, rhinestones, pins, twine and ribbon
StazOn Black ink and Beacon 3 IN 1

Once my water coloring was done I added a few Clear Scrap Sequins and the chipboard piece Journey. All available in the Clear Scraps store. I simply embossed the chipboard word with black embossing powder to make it pop a bit.
Hope you give this fun technique a try! There are tons of water coloring tutorials on you tube to learn some of the super easy techniques.

These are such Cute Little Mini's! The can be hooded to keychains and purses or even books and bag zippers. Carry your precious Doggies around with you.
Here is a few sample pages. i used Beacon zip dry and some Photo Play paper Collection to make this little Mini come to life. You can use any embellishments you choose to create that special look you want. These mini's are so cute they are sure to be a hit.
All you need to do is trace your bone pieces to your favorite paper and adhere them done with zip Dry and embellish away.
Here is the back pages..
Seems like life is always too busy for the most important things, however this fun tag won't take you long at all. I created this tag with Clear Scraps Acrylic Tag Album.
For this acrylic tag I adhered the paper to the back of the tag and embellished the tag on the front with flowers.
I popped up all the pieces with pop dots for dimension.
To finish it off add some twine to the top.
Hope you enjoyed my May Tag and hope you're playing along with the design team on the Clear Scraps Blog and making your own pretty tags!

Hi, Connie here with a really cool project created using the Clear Box Letter Box by Clear Scraps. This is the second box I have created using this product. I changed it up this time. Instead of standing upright I have it laying on the back of the box. Let me show you ~
My inspiration was to create a bin for my photos that are in line to scrapbook. This was achieved by turning the box on its back and attaching feet to the back of the box. The 4 X 6 photos will fit, corner to corner. I am showing, in the above photo, smaller pictures that will lay flat. I have a picture to show you how to lay out the box and adhere it together.
The box is easy to assemble. I used Quick Grip by Beacon to adhere the sides together. The paper was adhered to each section with Zip Dry by Beacon. Once the box is assembled the feet are ready to put on. Quick Grip was used for this also. Works fast. The last part was to embellish the top of the box. Beacon 3 IN 1 was used to adhere the embellishments to the top of the acrylic box.
Products used:
Clear Scraps Clear Box Letter Box
other: Beacon: Quick Grip, Zip Dry and 3 IN 1.
pattern paper, embellishments.

Good morning friends. Today I have to share with you the Expressions Large LOVE vertical tile.
It is so fun to create with these.
It is so easy to decorate each letter individually by tracing the letter of the acrylic onto paper.
Then just cut it out and adhere onto the expressions word tile.
I also used a Wire Mixer to give some pattern to my paper. I saved the Mixer to use again for another time.
Then decorate to your liking, add some twine, and you're done.
Here's a close up of my cute little puggy wug, Ooxie.
Have you created things with Clear Scraps products? We would love to have you share them on our Facebook page.
Have a great day!
Hello! I'm here today to share my tag for this month! It's almost summer time so I thought it would be fun to use the Ice Cream Shaker! These are such cute accents for your pages or tags!
I started with using alcohol ink on my acrylic tag! I then flipped over my tag and added "rays" of patterned paper adhering with Beacon Zip Dry.
I set aside my tag to assemble my Shaker! I first painted the top chipboard frame with acrylic paint. Once dry, I used a glitter embossing powder to give it some shine! I adhered different patterns in each of the layers of the ice cream as well as added in sequins. I covered the "cone" in patterned paper, trimming with scissors. I finished by tying in pink and white bakers twine to accent!
Using black Staz On Ink I stamped on my sentiment at the bottom of my tag.
Thank you for reading today! Hope this inspires you to try one of the fun Shaker shapes! Have a great day!

Angel here today to share with you this Easter printer tray frame! You can choose from many designs at ClearScraps! I just love making shakers with them.
I have used my Niece's first easter photo to make this keepsake tray! All you need is your favorite paper collection and embellishments to get this look.
Here I used the stickers that came in the collection to embellish my tray.
I also added flower clusters as well.
In certain squares I added some seed beads in white and pink sequins to use as a shaker. I love that added movement this gives to the piece. I used Beacon Zip Dry adhesives to put my tray together. Love that Stuff.
This can be used as a decor , keepsake or even a gift!
Hi friends! It's Jennifer on the blog today to share another layout I created with some awesome Clear Scraps products! I love the large variety of chipboard shapes and embellishments! They are the perfect accent to your projects! I create a lot of layouts and I love adding pieces in. For my page, I used the new Vine Circle Chipboard Embellishments.
I used one of the XL Deco Shapes as my background for my layout! I love using these as they are a nice alternative to regular cardstock! The easiest way to color acrylic is with alcohol ink! I used Butterscotch Alcohol Ink from Ranger to color my background.
I cut apart the Vine Circle Chipboard Embellishments and painted with acrylic paint in off-white. I then used embossing powder to add some shine to each circle!
Lastly, I used Staz-On Ink in black to stamp my title. Staz On is the only ink recommended for acrylic because it is solvent based and dries quickly! And you run less risk of smudging your ink!
Thank you for stopping by today! You can see the variety of Chipboard Shapes and Titles by visiting the Clear Scraps shop! Have a wonderful day!

hi everyone! nancy here today to share with you a fun layout i made with the new banners 12x12 acrylic layout. these acrylic layouts make creating pages for your scrapbook so quick and easy. the design is already done.
i began by sponging different bits of acrylic paint onto the backside of the layout to add additional color.
that super cute bike? one of the adorable chipboard embellishments available from clearscraps. this bike with basket can be found here.
i really love the look of naked chipboard. and since the pieces are laser cut they have cool detailing on the edges which gives them cool depth.
how sweet are the little banners on this layout. i couldn't resist cutting little pennants out of some of my favorite papers.
well, thanks for stopping by.
hugs

Hi Clear Scraps Friends. Leah here with you today to share my May tag using Clear Scraps chipboard tag album and feather layering stencil.
I kept this tag pretty simple as I wanted to showcase the stunning Feathers stencil.
The quote actually resonates with me quite a bit, as I started this week on Weight Watchers to start achieving some personal health goes.
Have a great week!

Hi, Connie here with a couple of projects showcasing the Beehive Layering stencil by Clear Scraps. The layering stencils are so much fun to create with and easy to blend colors on the design.
The first being a card and the second a tag. Both were created the same except the tag was stenciled on the fold of the cardstock and then fussy cut out.
Steps to create the card:
Stencil the image on white cardstock using a light ink and then a darker ink for shading around the Beehive image. Stamp the chicken wire pattern over the top of the Beehive. Add the Bee's, from the layering stencil, at this time. For the card, double mat on yellow cardstock and adhere to the front of the card. Add twine and buttons for embellishments. Add the sentiment in the center of the Beehive opening.
Steps for the tag:
Repeat the steps for the card but instead stencil the Beehive image on the fold of white cardstock. When all the steps are complete cut out the Beehive leaving the small loop at the top attached ( the fold). Punch a small hole and run twine through. Add the sentiment to the opening of the Beehive.
To see more Layering stencils by Clear Scraps go the stencil section in the online store.

hey everyone. nancy here today to share with you the tag i made for may. i have been having so much fun creating these monthly tags and use them as dividers and dash boards in my planners. are you a planner girl?
to begin, i stamped my image onto the back side of the tag (ok, really..there isn't a back side, but decide which way you want your stamp to face when you are complete) using stazon.
then i colored my image, again on the back side of the tag. i used alcohol markers for this to ensure it would stay.
i stamped a doily image onto some deli paper to back my tag and give some depth and a sheer background without it being completely clear.
and finally, my favorite part. i added some flowers. yes, i know it makes my planner a little fat, but don't shame it. i like my traveller's notebooks fat. lol
and here she is, ready to spend the month with me.
thanks for stopping by.
