Hello Love-Unicorn Acrylic Tag by Pinky

Hey there Clear Scraps family and friends, it is Pinky today and I am IN LOVE with this new 6" Unicorn Stencil!!For this project I took a Clear Acrylic Tag from the Tag Album and Box Set and I peeled the protective cover off the front. I used Gesso Gel and mixed it with 5 colors, and applied it to the tag using the  6" Unicorn Stencil.

I randomly gradated the colors, and set is aside for like 20 minutes to dry. After it dried I removed the back protective film I places the HELLO LOVE foam stickers I had in my craft room, then added a pretty blue graduated wired ribbon 

I love how it turned out, perfect for my friends' gift I am sending her.

Happy Crafting friends!

Scalloped Clipboard ~ A Spring decor piece!

Hi, Connie here with my take on the large Scalloped Clipboard by Clear Scraps.  I used one of the new 6" stencils and chipboard words,  to create a "Springy" decor piece.  I used some old pattern paper, from my stash, along with a vintage bingo card, that was gifted to me by a fellow crafter and friend.  

The pattern paper was cut in half and then, using a tape runner, to attach the two pieces together making the paper 8 1/2" X 12". 

The next step was to stencil the background paper using the 6" Shiplap stencil with black ink.  The "Home" chipboard embellishment was stamped with Distress oxide ink and then embossed.  I love the texture it gives the chipboard word.

Attach the vintage Bingo card to front by placing it under the clipboard clip.  Adhere photos and paper embellishments, by layering the paper and tags, to create a focal point on the Bingo card.  Building a focal point of interest is really the fun part!!

To bring attention to the beautiful scalloped edges, of the clipboard,  Stazon ink was lightly applied to the edges, giving the clipboard a shadow look.  Once the clipboard was finished, black ink was speckled randomly, for a finished look.  Tip: Cover photos before speckling with ink.

Houses Wood Accordion Shaker Album

Hello! It's Jennifer on the blog to share one of the fabulous new releases that debuted at Creativation in January!  Susan took the Shaker Shapes to a whole new level with the Wood Accordion Shaker Albums!  I  used the Houses Wood Accordion Shaker Album and turned it into a school house to document favorite back to school photos!  

 

I  used red acrylic paint to color the front piece of my album. I  went in with white acrylic paint to line the edges of the windows, doors, and the outside edges of the album.  Using my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive, I  adhered a fun cursive print pattern to the back piece of the shaker.   Using scissors and a sanding tool, I  removed excess pieces of paper.  Once I  assembled the front cover, I  adhered this wood ruler and floral rosette to accent. 

I    covered each side of the album with patterned paper again trimming excess as needed. Actually I  did a lot of sanding but it is worth it to get your end result!

I  tied my pages together in an accordion fashion using bakers twine. However, you can use chrome book rings or ribbon! Also, the Shaker Albums can be assembled as a mini album; there is no wrong way!

Welcome Two New Designers

Please help us welcome two new amazing designers to the Clear Scraps team:

Heather Landry

I'm a 37 year old coffee addict who has been scrapbooking for 14 years. I live in Louisiana, and I have three very southern (wild) kids. I love photography, and every kind of crafting that's ever been invented. I wrangle kids for a living, and I have a huge heart for working with children who have special needs. 

 

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. -Romans 15:13

And Nancy Nickel

Hello, from the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada! I live here with my sweet husband. Our two girls are all grown up, and we have a lot of fun in this empty nest of ours. It's a good thing we have snow half the year, as I really like to hibernate. What a great excuse to stay at home and craft! The rest of the year I balance the crafting with taking long walks along the river with my husband, popping in at the farmers' market, and having picnics in our favorite parks. 

I look forward to sharing the fabulous Clear Scraps products with you!

March Gift Tag

Happy March my Clear Scraps friends!
The baby shower is just two days away and I have been busy creating away to prepare for the big celebration.

My tag for March is using one of the acrylic pages from the acrylic tag album.

I used scrap paper from the March 2018 Creating Made Easy kit to decorate the tag.

Using stamps from my stash I added some floral stamping to add interest and help hide the glue I used adhering the background paper.

Quick, Easy, and will be so cute as a decorative element.

See you soon! 

Leah Crowe, Clear Scraps Designer
