Craft Storage with Clear Scraps

Hello and happy Saturday!  It's Jennifer here on the blog today to share a project with you!  Like most of us, we all need ideas when it comes to organizing our craft supplies! And when you can make something cute and personable, its even better!  The Clear Acrylic Tray Box, measuring 6x9 inches, is the perfect size to fit everything you use to be within hands reach in your craft space! 

Clear_Scraps_Clear_Tray_Box

The Tray Box comes in five separate pieces that you assemble together using the enclosed clear circle stickers. I  also reinforced each of the slots with my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive. But before putting together my tray, I applied alcohol ink in yellow to the surface of each piece (leaving out the bottom since this part wouldn't show).   You can also paint, ink, and stamp the acrylic as well!  
Clear_Scraps_Clear_Tray_Box2
I measured strips of paper to adhere around the edge of the tray to add extra color as well as added a colorful punched border.    Using a few die cuts and stickers from the collection I used, I adhered them to the front of my tray.

Stenciled Lighthouse Card

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share a stenciled Lighthouse card using the 6" Lighthouse Stencil.

Lighthouse-clearscraps-3-steph-ackerman

My card is sized at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" so I cut a white panel slightly smaller.  Centering the stencil on the white panel, I inked it with assorted colors in keeping with the lighthouse look.

Lighthouse-clearscraps-1-steph-ackerman

Taking off the stencil, you can see what you've missed, realign the stencil and add additional colors.

Lighthouse-clearscraps-steph-ackerman

I inked around the panel with light blue ink before matting it with black cardstock.

Lighthouse-clearscraps-2-steph-ackerman

I matted the panel on a blue card with foam adhesives for dimension. 
To finish, I die cut Dream from black cardstock and added to the card.

Shamrock Mini Shaker Gift Bag

Howdy,

Tami on the blog to share another project with you.

As the calendar turns to spring, the colors of nature begin to burst with various colors of green. Some bright and cheery like the lime green of this cute little gift bag...

Clear_scraps_st_patricks_day_shamrock_luck_shaker_box_ts

I turned the Shamrock Mini Shaker into a tag to embellish the bag; it is filled with some BLinGy green plastic flakes...

Clear_scraps_st_patricks_day_shamrock_luck_shaker_box_cu_ts

The top layer of the shaker was painted a dark green, then a layer of Smooch Glitz was added once the paint dried for a glittery finish. Printed paper was adhered to the back piece, and a sticker finishes the embellishment of the shamrock. A ribbon was glued to the back to form the ties for the tag.

This would be a cute little gift for St. Patrick's day of course - you could fill it with treats, a small gift or maybe a gift card. But it would also make a thoughtful gift for someone you want to send a little luck to; like looking for a new job or house, or maybe a competition they are entering or test they are taking. 

Don't forget to remove the protective plastic layer from BOTH sides of Clear Scrap's Shakers and Acrylic products.

Supplies: 

Clear Scraps: Shamrock Mini Shaker

Other: Clear Snap: Parsley Color Eclipse and Shamrock Smooch Glitz, Reminisce Printed Paper and Sticker, Beacon Adhesives: Zip Dry, Mini Gift Tote, Ribbon and Fill


Romantic Wedding Acrylic Layout

Hi there Crafters!

Dana here and I've got a Wedding Layout project to share. I'm using Clear Scraps XL Deco Shape

20210110_132844

The papers I chose for this layout are from Graphic45 "Romantique" collection. I wanted to create an elegant but heritage look to my layout so these papers were perfect. I know some of you may feel intimidated to work with acrylic sheets. But it's really quite easy. 

First off I chose one of the papers for my background. It's easier when you know what color palette you want to work with. I took a piece of black cardstock and diecut a frame, using my diecutting machine.

20210110_184905

Then I took some Pebeo Gold gliding wax, and lightly rubbed a tiny bit over my diecut frame. A little gliding wax goes a long way. So be careful not to use too much. This wax will give you a pretty gold shimmer to your frame. 

20210110_190627

Next I took my photo and matted it onto one of the coordinating papers from the pack. Set your photo  aside for now. Take your acrylic sheet and peel off the protective film on each side. Then adhere your background paper on top of your acrylic sheet. Then I added a piece of lace trim on the top edge of my background paper, being careful not to get any glue on your acrylic sheet. Then I added my photo to my frame using some foam dots. I also added pop dots to the back of my diecut frame. This will add some dimension to your layout. Adhere your photo frame in the center of your layout.  I cut out 3 of the stamps in the collection, inked the edges and using pop dots I adhered them to the upper right hand of my layout. I also fuzzy cut a few roses, inked the edges then glued them to the top part of my diecut frame.

20210111_150643

I fussy cut out the bride image, inked around the edges and adhered to the bottom right corner of my layout using pop dots. I adhered some Prima and Graphic45 flowers to the bottom right corner. Fussy cut out a few butterflies and glued them onto my page. You can add any embellishments you like, I chose some Prima crystals and a Love chipboard sticker, a string of pearls to the bride's necklace. I like to tuck in a few small pearls in between my flowers.

To finish my layout I added some Stickles Diamond glitter to the bride's veil and my butterfly wings.  I brushed some Luna paste "Golden Sand" over my rose petals. I adhered a metal key to the left side of my layout.  Lastly I inked the edges of my acrylic shape with Spectrum Noir Rose Gold metallic ink.

Clear Scraps Wood House Shape -- Shamrock Blessings

Hi there everybody!  Laura here with you today!!  Ready to get a jump start

on that St. Patty's Day home decor with this sweet little house!

Clear_Scraps_Shamrock Mini Shaker_Shamrock Blessings(1)

These solid wood shapes are fun to create with!!  Here I used the Clear Scraps

Wood House Shape.  They come in a 3 pack so you can create a mini album

(just use a crop a dile to punch holes) or use them to make 3 great gifts, or

use to make 3 different holiday/everyday themed home decor pieces! 

They are nice because you can paint, ink, stencil, or cover them with pretty

patterned paper like I did here.  Just trace and cut out.  I went for different

patterns for the roof and the base, to make it a little more interesting.

Clear_Scraps_Shamrock Mini Shaker_Shamrock Blessings(1)(2)

Plaid makes a great choice of pattern for the roof, feels like tiles, or shingles,

at least a little bit!  But it still makes a great basic that the titles and words can

really stand out without the background feeling too busy.  You can see also, I

went around the edges of the papers with a bit of black ink to soften them.

And then the perfect addition, that cute Clear Scraps Shamrock Mini Shaker!!

Clear_Scraps_Shamrock Mini Shaker_Shamrock Blessings(1)(1)

I traced the back of the shamrock on a fun Celtic print patterned paper, cut out, and

adhered.  I painted the front of the frame with black acrylic paint.  Glued all the layers

together and instant adorable!  Remember to remove the protective layer on the acrylic

pieces (BOTH sides!) and also--don't forget to add your sequins/sprinkles!

 

Love those Clear Scraps Mini Shakers!  Cards, home decor, scrapbook pages, so many

ways to use these cuties!  And the choices are A-MA-ZING!  You can find them HERE.

Also, you can find the newest of the new mini shakers (and some SUPER adorable

sprinkles to use in them!) under the "What's New" section of the store right HERE.

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

 

Supplies Used: 

Clear Scraps:  Wood House Shape, Mini Shaker-Shamrock

Other:  Authentique-Dublin papers, die cuts, twine, sequins, enamel dots,

black acrylic paint, Black Soot distress ink, foam tape, adhesive.


Lucky the Mini Shaker Gnome

 

 
I just love that gnomes are so popular right now. And I just knew I wanted to create a "Lucky" Mini Shaker Gnome!  I am going to add a magnet to him and either use him on my filing cabinet at work (where I seem to spend too much time) or on my fridge!
 
Supplies needed include:
 
Patterned Paper, Glitter, Paint, Clover Punch
 
Start by tracing your shaker base onto patterned paper. Detail cut your paper gnome but don't adhere just yet. Paint shoes on your shaker base. 
 

 

Paint your shaker top piece to coordinate using an orange beard of course. Let dry. 

 

Using a layer piece from your shaker set, trace beard onto your base and paint orange. 

 

Adhere your painted paper gnome to your shaker base. 

 

Assemble the pieces of your shaker. 

Filler with coordinating glitter or sequins. 

Add your acrylic layer after removing the protective covering from both sides of the acrylic.  Add your painted top layer to your shaker and add a 4 leaf clover to finish! 

I hope you enjoy playing with these shakers as much as I did! 


 


Hello Spring Wood Shape Wall Hanging by Maya

Hello everyone! Maya is here on the blog today to share a spring wood shape. It was so much fun to create this mixed media home decor piece using Clear Scraps wood shapes, chipboard shape embellishments, and stencils. I am ready for spring to arrive! Who is also ready for spring?

P1210108

▼ I used the rectangle wood, old truck and butterflies chipboard embellishment for this project.

20210202_160222

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

▼ First, I painted the background with clear gesso. After the gesso dried, I applied another coat of white acrylic paint. Instead of using white acrylic paint and clear gesso, you may apply white gesso directly.

20210202_165831

▼ Next, I blended inks to the white background using distress oxide ink pads along with sponges.

20210202_172347

▼ Here I added another layer of butterfly patterns to the background by using 6'' monarch butterfly stencil and blending distress oxide ink with a piece of sponge.

20210202_172958 

▼ I also added some embossed bubbles by applying VersaMark ink to the image through the 6" Bubbles stencil and white embossing powder.

20210203_123344

▼ For the chipboard embellishments, I painted them with pink acrylic paint.

20210203_135323

▼ The final touch is these paper flowers I made for decoration! You can also use any kind of paper or fabric flowers for decoration.

This is Us Layout by Maya

Greetings! Maya on the blog today here to share this 8.5 x 11 layout using a film strip chipboard and This is Us chipboard word title! I also used the 6'' XOXO stencil for the background. The chipboards are great to use on the layouts and they definitely gave this layout a dimensional look. I love how it turned out! 

P1210067_2
I started by using a 8.5 x 11 white paper and I backed my photos with patterned paper. Next, I added some watercolor splatter effect to the background by using Distress Oxide Ink.

I decided to paint the chipboards with some colors so that they match the colors of the patterned papers I chose.

20210120_165106

20210120_165106

For the background, I also applied XOXO stencil with ink blending technique by using distress oxide ink and blending foams.

P1210070_2

After I finished the background, I used double sided adhesive tape to adhere the papers and glued the chipboard with tacky glue. Also, I added extra touches by using small embellishments like patterned stickers and punched out hearts.

Clear Scraps Printer's Tray -- Valentine's Smooches Home Decor

Hey everyone!!  Laura is here with you today with some home decor inspiration!

I love to create my own home decor for just about any holiday, and Valentine's Day

is no exception!  Today I've got a fun project using a Clear Scraps Printer's Tray!

Clear_Scraps_Printer Tray_Valentine's Smooches Home Decor(1)Clear Scraps has so many different Printer Tray Frames in their store!  For this project,

I chose the the Scallop Square Frame, because I liked the scallop--it reminded me of

a frilly Valentine.  If you want to check out the other options, you'll find them HERE.

These are easy to use too!  I just used one sheet of patterned paper for this particular

project, cut it to fit and glued it down on the back piece of the tray.  I painted the top

piece of the tray with black acrylic paint.   While that dried I filled up the boxes on the

tray.  What's nice is, you can make a lot of layers when you use the tray.

Clear_Scraps_Printer Tray_Valentine's Smooches Home Decor(1)(1)
Here you can see how the banners are layered onto the outside of the printer tray.

I used foam tape to attach them,  and added a little twine so they'd look a little bit like

they were tied onto the frame.  It add a cute little extra touch.

Clear_Scraps_Printer Tray_Valentine's Smooches Home Decor(1)(2)

It's a little harder to see, but even under the acrylic clear piece of the tray, some of the

items are flat with maybe a layer or two, and some are popped up with foam tape. 

I did this wit the flower vase, the kissing booth, one set of lips.  It gives the project

a great depth to make it more interesting.  And just a tip:  you don't HAVE to use

the acrylic layer if you aren't adding sequins, etc to create a shaker--I just like the

fact the project is more protected when you use it.

 

Well thanks for stopping by today!  Stop back soon for more inspiration!

Baby-card-clearscraps-5-steph-ackerman

Remove the stroller from it's frame and ink it with distress inks in Bundled Sage and Ground Espresso.

Baby-card-clearscraps-steph-ackerman

I realized I wanted a card for a new baby girl, so I reinked the stroller carriage with pink ink, then embossed it with clear embossing powder.
You can see touches of pink along with the green ink on the stroller.
 
Baby-card-clearscraps-1-steph-ackerman
 
I created a 5 1/2" square card from pink cardstock, then cut baby paper slightly smaller and adhered together.

Jar of Hearts Love Card

Hi ya'll, Tami here with a card to share with you.

Valentine's Day was yesterday, but love is celebrated everyday! Birthdays, Anniversaries or ANY day you want to let someone know you care.

And what is the most universal symbol of love? Why hearts of course!

In this card, dozens of tiny hearts fill a jar made from Clear Scraps' Mason Jars Chipboard Embellishments... 

Clear_scraps_valentine_love_chipboard-mason_jar_card_ts

Here is a close-up pic of the jar...

Clear_scraps_valentine_love_chipboard-mason_jar_card_cu_ts

I covered the solid jar chipboard piece with white cardstock that I stamped with bunches of tiny hearts. The outline jar chipboard piece was inked with silver at the top and white around the sides. I outlined the hearts and jar with black ink to bring out the designs since the card was so simple.

I also rounded the upper right corner of the mat and card for the same reason; a small detail to accent the simple design.

Look for other Chipboard Embellishments from Clear Scrap that can be layered and used together like this Mason Jar.

The Chipboard Embellishments are the perfect size to use on cards, tags, scrapbook pages or other small paper craft projects.

Supplies: Mason Jars Chipboard Embellishments

Other: The Stamps of Life: TinyTitles2Stamp and Minis4Circles, Clear Snap: Silver, White and Black Pigment Ink and Red Devil Archival Dye Ink, Beacon Adhesives: Zip Dry, White and Kraft Cardstock, Large Corner Rounder and Heat Gun


Shabby Heart

Hello Crafty Friends! 

February is the month of love! I decided to create a Shabby Chic home decor project using Clear Scraps Puzzle wood heart Click Here

20210113_133150

The papers and embellishments I chose to use are Prima Marketing "Love Story" collection. First off, I chose some papers to trace and cover all four of  the puzzle pieces, using Beacon 3 in 1 craft glue. I trimmed around the edges with my exacto knife to remove any excess paper. Distress all puzzle pieces with a distress tool or sand paper, till edges are smooth. Then glue all 4 puzzle pieces together to form a heart. 

20210116_121505

Next I took some clear crackle paste and spread a thin layer in scattered areas on my heart. This will give your piece an aged look. I dried my crackle using my heat tool. Then I brushed a thin layer of pink paint over top of the crackle paste and then with my finger I added some gold gliding wax over the top. 

20210117_152416

Now take some vintage trim and using your fabric glue, adhere around the edge of your heart. Set your piece aside for now.

20210117_135000

For my project,  I decided to add a Prima Memory hardware resin frame as my main focal point on my project. You can skip this part if you want, and add whatever you prefer. I will explain how I created this frame. First I took some pink acrylic paint and using a paintbrush, I painted the bow on my frame pink. Let dry. Then taking some Prima Memory hardware artisan powder and a small stiff brush, I brushed the powder over the roses on my frame. You don't need to seal this powder. It's permanent. Next I adhered some rhinestones around my frame using a strong craft glue. I chose one of the journaling cards and trimmed to fit and glued to the back of my frame. To finish my frame, I added some liquid pearls around the edge. Let dry overnight. 

20210120_153032

Once dry you can glue your frame in the center of your wooden heart. I adhered some Prima flowers, crystals, chipboard stickers and ephermera sentiment to the bottom and sides of my frame design. I like to tuck in a few small pearls in between my flowers. For the small roses I brushed them with some distress ink to give an aged look. 

20210121_145121

I diecut a heart shape out of one of coordinating roses papers and added some foam tape to the back of the heart and adhered it to the upper left corner. Added a" beautiful" word sentiment on top of the heart and a glitter heart sticker too. 

20210121_145438

In the upper right hand corner I made a small pocket out of another scrap paper, added some lace to the top edge of the pocket, added a sentiment phase to the front of my pocket using pop dots. I tucked a few empherma pieces inside my pocket. 

20210121_145338

Lastly I glued some Prima crystals to scattered areas. Glued a pink tulle bow to the top of my heart. Added a heart gem in the middle of my bow!

Love Large Chipboard Embellishment Layout

Hello and happy Friday! It's Jennifer here on the blog to share a project I did for Valentines Day since its this weekend.  Whether you celebrate or not, its still fun to document the people in your life that mean the most to you!  I created a layout using the Love Large Chipboard Embellishment and am going to show you my technique! 

Clear_Scraps_Love_Large_Chipboard_Embellishment_layout

I cut the letters away from the chipboard frame they are packaged in ensuring to snip any excess tabs.  Using my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive, I adhered patterned paper to the front of each letter.  
Clear_Scraps_Love_Large_Chipboard_Embellishmentlayout2

Using scissors, I trimmed excess paper followed by using an x-acto knife and a sanding tool to smooth edges.  Because I wanted more of a distressed look, I did not overly concern myself with making sure each edge was perfect. I would also usually "clean up" edges by adding paint to the sides but decided to forego this step.
Clear_Scraps_Love_Large_Chipboard_Embellishmentlayout3

I adhered my letters again using the Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive arranging them as shown.  You can see I tried to use contrasting patterns for each letter. 
Clear_Scraps_Love_Large_Chipboard_Embellishment_layout4

For accent, I added die cut floweres and hearts around my photo using pop dots to give dimension. 
Clear_Scraps_Love_Large_Chipboard_Embellishment_layout5

Clear Scraps Coffee Mug Chipboard--Cup of Love Acrylic Card

Hi there everyone!!!  Laura here today to give you a little last minute Valentine's Day

Card inspiration!  Or maybe you are working ahead for next year already!

Clear_Scraps_Chipboard Embellishment_Cup of Love Card(1)

This card was created using one of the acrylic sheets available from Clear Scraps.

It's actually easy to make one of these cards. and it is so unique!  You can also

stamp on the acrylic, or use stencil pastes, or alcohol inks, but today, I went for

the clear route!   It was cut to a standard 5&1/2"x4&1/4" and the back piece of

red cardstock was cut at 5&1/2"x4&3/4" so it has 1/2" to fold over to attach the

acrylic front of the card easily.  I added a little decorative strip to dress it up a bit.

Clear_Scraps_Chipboard Embellishment_Cup of Love Card(2)

And another of the absolutely adorable chipboard embellishments from

Clear Scraps takes center stage on this card.  I just love everything coffee,

and this Coffee Mug Chipboard is just perfect!  Love the little heart in the

center--perfect for Valentine's Day especially!  Easy to create too--I often

paint the Clear Scraps Chipboard Embellishments, but this time, I used

some pretty patterned paper for a different look.

Clear_Scraps_Chipboard Embellishment_Cup of Love Card close up 2(1)

The pieces were just traced and cut out.  I brushed the edges with some

black distress ink.  I wanted to fill in the heart with a little something

extra, so I used a separate small scrap of white cardstock.

Clear_Scraps_Chipboard Embellishment_Cup of Love Card close up 1(1)

I added a few small heart stickers for a little something extra, which

is why I wanted the nice white background.  After that some twine,

a few additional sentiment and decorative stickers, and it's done!

Sweet and simple, but looks great!  You can find a lot of different

chipboard pieces that make for super quick and easy cards in the

Clear Scraps store.  Check them all out right HERE.

 

Thanks for Stopping by today!  Stop back soon for more inspiration!

Quick Easy Stamped Acrylic Valentine's Day Card

 I love using acrylic in my cards!  For today's project I wanted to really play up on the transparent-ness of the acrylic and try stamping an image for accents on my acrylic and to add extra dimensions to my card. This is definitely a quick and easy project which I love this time of year as I always seem to be needing lots of last minute cards! 

Supplies needed

Clears Scraps 12 x 12 Acrylic Sheet

Stamps, Ink (staz-on and archival), patterned Paper, Doilies, Card Stock, Card Base, lace

Start by trimming your card base front so that you have about a 1/2 inch left as shown. 

Trim your Clears Scraps 12 x 12 Acrylic Sheet to fit your card base. Remove protective layer off  one side of your acrylic (I always leave the protective layer on my back side until I  am done creating!)  Stamp heart repeatedly onto acrylic. I choose a simpler stamp and used extra magnets (just in case) on my stamping platform. 

I just love how you can see through the acrylic and yet "see" the hearts I stamped! (note this still has the back layer of protective covering!) 

On your card base add lace. 

Adhere your stamped acrylic sheet to your lacy card base. 

Adhere your card stock to the inside of your card base. 

Add a patterned paper block and a stamped heart matted on a a paper doily to finish the inside of your card!  I hope you are inspired to try stamping on your Clears Scraps 12 x 12 Acrylic Sheets.
