“By the Sea “ Beachy Shakers

Hello Happy May.

Let’s have a day at the Beach.

By the Sea with these Fun Beach Themed Shaker Tags.

I’ve used the Clear_Scraps  Shell_Shaker_Tag and Shovel_Shaker_Tag

I’ve used a Beach Themed Paper collection and traced out the tag cut one piece for each side.

A craft knife or pen knife works best.

Glue the Paper pieces we cut to the Shaker Tags.

You received two acrylic pieces,

one for the front and back of the shaker.

Glue them to one frame piece.

Grab the shaker mix and put them together.

I used some fun beachy shaker mix and embellishments.

I really love how these came out.

I couldn’t resist adding some Bling with glitter around the seashell.

Thank you so much for coming by and hope you are inspired to make some shakers.

Stop by the Clear_Scraps website and see all of the Wonderful shakers available,

Have a Happy Crafty Day!

Clear Scraps--Shaker Tag Circle--Coffee Time Tag

Hi there everyone!  Laura with you today to share a fun item that could be used on a scrapbook page or as a great addition on a gift bag!

This adorable tag is created using the Clear Scraps Shaker Tag Circle.  The shaker tags are super simple to assemble, and you can decorate the front and back if you'd like.  If using as an embellishment on a scrapbook page, no need to do the back, of course.  These are great additions in a mini album too!   With all the different themes available, you have a lot of choices for just about any project you make!  You can see all of the different options HERE in the Clear Scraps Store.

To decorate the tags, painting the base is one option.  Another is covering with a pretty patterned paper as I did here.  Just trace, cut and glue down--simple!  The edges on this tag were also brushed with some brown distress ink--thought it was a nice addition with the "coffee theme" of this tag.  The "coffee bar" sentiment is one of the versatile Embellishment Chipboard Punchout sets from Clear Scraps.  This is another item that has choices galore!  You can check out all the fun set options HERE. 

This piece was punched out and then painted with dark brown acrylic paint.  The outer ring (of the shaker tag) was painted with a lighter color.  The sentiment is a perfect fit inside the circle!  Once all the pieces are glued together (remember to add the sequins between acrylic layers!) it was easy to add a few other stickers, enamel dots, border sticker, etc to embellish it a bit. 

The top coffee cup also comes from the Embellishment Chipboard Punchout set.  This tag added to a gift bag with a friend's fave coffee or coffee shop gift card and a mug would make a super cute gift!

Thanks for stopping by today!

 

Supplies Used:

Clear Scraps:  Shaker Tag Circle, Embellishment Chipboard Punchout

Other:  acrylic paint--light and dark brown, foam tape, enamel dots, ribbon, twine, Simple Stories Noteworthy paper & stickers.

Fun Decorative Shaker Element

 Hello, my friends!

It's Nancy here, with my first project share! I've made a decorative shaker element:

Shakers are so much fun, and there is an incredible variety in the shop HERE.

This particular shaker is going to sit on my desk as a reminder that Life is Beautiful!
However, there are lots of ways to use finished shakers:
on a card, on a layout, on the cover of a mini album or journal, as a little decorative hanging.
So many options!

Here's how I did it:

 

First, I gathered what I needed:
Clear Scraps -  Mini Shaker Scallop Rectangle;
Chosen Image;
Walnut Stain Distress Ink (not shown);
Coordinating Acrylic Paint;
Paint Brush;
Assorted Filler.

 

I began with painting all the chipboard shaker layers.
I painted the front, back and all the edges.

I cut my image to fit, added the sentiment, and inked all the edges.
I adhered my image onto the back piece.
Then I adhered two of the framed layers on top.
At this point, I added all my little shaker bits.
I used a combination of sequins, beads, and tiny flowers.
Next, I removed the protective film from the acrylic layer, and adhered it in place.
Remember - there is protective films on both sides of the acrylic piece.
Once the acrylic was in place, I added the final frame piece.

 

When the glue was all dry and set, I inked all the edges with distress ink. 
It gives it such a lovely vintage feel.

 

It's such a sweet little decorative piece on my desk. I can't help but give it a shake every time I see it! 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today! I'll be back soon with another project share.
In the meantime, head over to the shop and see which shaker element inspires you!

Mini Shaker Flower card ideas

Hello everyone!

I am so ready for bright colored flowers to show Spring is here.  I decided to make my own flower cards using the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Flower and the 6" Spring Floral stencil.  These card are perfect to send to someone to brighten their day.

Here are the supplies you will need for all 3 cards.

 

Let's start with the red shaker card.  Take the 2 chipboard outlines and add a coating of Gesso.

 

Once they are dry, add a coat of white acrylic paint.

 

When the paint is dry choose a yellow alcohol marker to color the center of the flower.  This does not hurt the marker, but make sure you scribble off the paint the marker picks up.

                 

 

Now choose a red marker to color the petals of the flower.

               

 

Grab your Mod Podge and the solid flower shape and a piece of pattern paper that will be used for your background of the shaker.  Add the pattern paper to the flower shape and let dry.

               

 

Once the Mod Podge is dry use a craft knife and cutting mat to trim the excess paper from around the shape.  If necessary use a sanding block to get a smooth edge.

             

 

Remove the plastic protective film from the acrylic shape.  Use a strong glue to add the colored flower to the acrylic shape making sure to keep the glue around the edges and not on the acrylic center.  Once you have glued the shapes, place a heavy block on top to ensure the image and acrylic shape stick together with no gaps.

           

 

Take the solid image you attached the pattern paper to and using one of the open chipboard flower pieces, trace the center circle and the center where the petals are so you know where to add the adhesive foam strips.  Using some double sided adhesive strips add it to the center circle you traced making sure to keep the strip in the middle of the circle you traced.  Note - if you don't have adhesive strips you can use thin strips of fun foam and glue.  You will need to add a block on top to make sure the strip stays in place.

               

 

Once you have the foam strip around the circle in the center and the petals  add some sequins in each section. Use a strong adhesive to glue the top of the shaker card to the bottom.  Then set aside to dry.

 

To create your card base, take the 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" white panel and use 2 leaf sprays and 2 green inks to create a border at the bottom of the panel.

 

Grab your flower shaker and a strong adhesive and attach the shaker to the White panel close to the bottom.

 

Find a sentiment and some red ink to stamp the sentiment in the upper left hand corner.  

               

Add this panel to your red panel then to your card front and your card is finished and ready to be mailed.

 

Now let's make the blue card!

For this card you will need the other gesso prepared chipboard flower, an embossing folder, gold pigment ink, and silver gems.

Take the chipboard flower and paint it white with acrylic paint.

 

Choose a yellow alcohol ink refill and use a paint brush to paint the center of the flower.

             

 

Choose a blue alcohol ink refill and use a paint brush to paint the petals of the flower.

             

 

Grab your embossing folder, a 4" x 5 1/4" blue card stock, gold pigment ink, and card base.  Emboss the blue panel.

 

Take the gold pigment ink and swipe it across the raised part of the embossed panel.

 

Use a strong glue and attach the flower to the lower portion of the embossed panel.  Place a heavy block on top until the glue dries.

         

 

Add a sentiment to the upper left corner of the card front.

 

Your card is ready to send to someone and let them know you are thinking of them.

 

Our last card is the stencil card.

For this card you will use the 6" flower stencil and some inks.  I used purple and green.

Take the 3 ¾” x 5” white panel and add some removable tape to the back.  Stick it down on your work surface.  Place the stencil where you want it on the panel and tape it to your work surface at the top and side.  

Cut a bunch of post-it notes or use masking tape to cover up the flower heads.  Make sure you cover all the flowers including the ones that show on the side and you don't want on the card front.

 

 

Use a blending brush and green ink to color the stems.  To add interest, use 2 shades of green – one for the short stems and the other for the longer stems.

 

Remove the masks and use them to mask off the stems.  Use a blending brush to color the flowers with different shades of purple.

 

Color the center of the flowers with a yellow ink and small blending brush.

 

Choose  sentiment and stamp it at the top using one of the purple inks used for the flowers.  Add the panel to a 4” x 5 ¼” purple panel.  Then to the card front.  Add rhinestones to the center of the flowers.

Place your card in an envelope and mail it out!

          Thanks for visiting today and checking out my project.  I hope it inspired you to play with the many chipboard pieces at Clear Scraps!

 

Clear Scraps--Memory-Dex Chipboard Tags--Springtime & Butterflies

Hi all!  Laura here today with some fun ideas for some pretty springtime Memory-Dex cards!

This set was created using the Clear Scraps Rounded Tag Chip Dividers.  These are a great, versatile set to use, and the shape is great for any theme.  

These springtime cards are an easy little project that is a great way to use up scraps.  Just trace, cut out, and glue down the pretty papers, add a few stickers, enamel dots, ephemera and such, and call them done! 

These are also great to use with stencils!  You can cover with paper as I did with the one side of the tag, but then paint and stencil the other!  You could also use stencil paste or any other medium you'd like.  And it's great to use alcohol inks on the acrylic versions!  Love that you have that option!

This was done using the Clear Scraps 4x6 Butterfly Flock Stencil and distress ink.  Super simple, but a great layer to add some depth.

When you add a simple border and a few stickers, pieces of ephemera and enamel dots, it makes a super cute card to add to your memory-dex!  It can be used to remember a fun event, trip, or even recipes or addresses.  The memory-dex boxes and cards make for a perfect creative playtime project!   These tag cards are fun because they add some interest in the box with the hole that comes pre-punched that you can add a pop of color and texture with some ribbon or twine.  There are many other options too in the Clear Scraps store!!  Make sure to pop over to check it out so you can peruse all the options for the cards and the boxes HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Hope you are inspired to give the memory-dex cards a try!

Spring Shaker mixedMedia Tags

Hello thank you for visiting my post today.

I have two fun and beautiful Shaker Tags.

I am using Clear _Scraps Chipboard _Shaker_Tags

I went out of my comfort zone and played with some mediums to see what I would get.

I try to give myself a challenge and chose a few flowers and ribbon for both tags.

I traced out cardstock. two pieces for each tag.

A front and back.

I forgot to do the second one before starting so it will be best to do them now.

Glue the acrylic shape to a front and back piece.

Then glue another matching shape piece to sandwich the acrylic piece.

You need a front and back piece.

I chose the Clear_Scraps Heart_Shaker_mix.

It works perfectly for both tags.

Then I Used Black_chalkboard_Paint for the Paw theme. And a fuschia glitter paste and pink shimmer pens and distress ink to color the strawberries themed tag.

The Micah Spray gives a Grungy distressed appearance. It’s definitely different and artsy for a tag and I really like the vibe of how different and still festive.

A fun tag for a gift and then keep for decor.

A Clear_Scraps_Stencil really add a fun background detail.

Distress Ink works great with stencils.

Clear_Scraps has many stencils to choose from.

I stamped and heat embossed spring sentiments.

I backed up the sentiments to plaid cardstock that reminded me of a rainbow.

I am loving the display and it feels like mini artwork.

You could spray before adding the shaker pieces and keep it cleaner than I did.

I feel the gold splatter is beautiful and am satisfied with the results.

These are going to be perfect for packaging with some gifts or for Decorating a space.

Thank you again for reading and hope you enjoy my adventures into some mixed media crafting and hope you are inspired to take a few fun crafting risks.

“Let’s Celebrate Spring “ File Box

Hello friends!

Today Is a celebration of Spring File Box.

Ive used a fabulous and quick Clear_Scraps Wood_File_Box

You will find many other styles available for your style and creativity.

This one is so cute and takes no time at all to put together.

You will get all of the pieces to put it together.

You just need glue and imagination to make it your own.

I went ahead and assembled the box and now I’m going to paint it with a pale lime green acrylic paint.

Clear_Scraps has beautiful stencils so I am using this lattice style one.

I am going to mix the modeling paste with the same paint I have used to paint the box.

I love the results of the texture and color.

I proceeded to get a couple Micah Sprays to add more color and distressed background colors.

I like experimenting and the shimmer the Sprays give.

I also decided this project needed ornate feet.

I had some in my stash and really like how they look.

I used two different sprays to coordinate.

I used pink ink to continue the distressed look and added fussy cut images and flowers.

I found a cute embellished mini envelope to add to the back and some other embellishments to continue the Spring theme.

I love how this came out and here’s a picture  and I’ve added the Memory dex cards from my previous post. 

I hope this inspired you and don’t forget to stop by Clear_Scraps and see all of the styles to choose from.

Scrapbooking and Memory making is a wonderful way to keep and share memories.

This is a fun way to organize your ideas and or the people we want to remember.

Mini Tag Album

In November of last year, my husband and I adopted a new little puppy. The Clear Scraps Mini Tag Album is the perfect size for a keepsake so I thought it would be fun to create a little album of our sweet little guy.

The mini tag album comes with a ring and five acrylic pages, giving plenty of space for special memories.

For the album cover, I covered the first tag page with plain red cardstock and created the title using the "Love has 4 Paws" chipboard element from the Treats (pet) Chipboard Punchout Embellishments. After coloring the chipboard word with my acrylic paint marker, I adhered it to the cover, tucking a little puppy sticker under the right edge.

For the second page, I decided to leave some of the acrylic tag showing. I trimmed a heart pattern out of a sheet of paper and adhered it to the front. Next, I added a small photo of the pup with dimensional adhesive onto a white photo mat, adhered that over the right edge of the heart, and topped it with the "Spoiled" sticker—which couldn't be more true!

For the third page, I covered the tag with patterned paper featuring little dog bones. I added a photo, mounted on a white cardstock mat, and adhered it to the middle of the tag, angled slightly to the left. I colored the bone from the Treats (pet) Chipboard Punchout Embellishments with my white acrylic paint marker, then added puffy alphabet stickers spelling out my puppy's name. His name is bigger than he is, so it almost didn’t fit!

For the fourth page, I left more acrylic showing again. I outlined the edge of the tag with my red acrylic paint marker before coloring the doghouse from the Treats (pet) Chipboard Punchout Embellishments. I adhered the doghouse to the front of the tag and topped it off with a small sticker.

For the final front page, I covered the tag with patterned paper and trimmed a sticker to fit the bottom portion. I adhered my photo on the top section, angled slightly to the right, then added the "Furry Friend" sticker across the bottom.

Now, onto the back pages!

The back of the first page is completely covered with a photo of my husband holding our sweet little puppy shortly after we brought him home. I added a "Dog Dad" sticker with dimensional adhesive across the bottom of the photo. Aren't they the cutest?!

For the back of the second page, I trimmed another photo to a similar size as the front, mounted it on a red mat, and adhered it to the tag—ensuring it covered the elements from the other side. Before adding the tab with the date, I backed it with red cardstock. I finished this page with a puffy heart sticker and a word element sticker.

The back of the third page is covered with a 3x4 element card trimmed to fit. I placed a picture of my little guy with his frisbee around his head in the lower left corner, slightly angled, and topped it with a word sticker. After adding "Frisbee Fun" journaling, I finished the page with a "Playtime" sticker popped up with dimensional adhesive.

For the back of the fourth page, I mounted a photo of myself with our puppy on white cardstock and adhered it with dimensional adhesive, ensuring it covered most of the doghouse from the other side. I finished it off with a "Dog Mom" sticker and a puffy heart.

Finally, for the back of the last page, I covered the tag with red cardstock and trimmed the edge with a border sticker. After adding a photo of my puppy experiencing his first snow, I used alphabet stickers for the title and sprinkled in a few tiny snowflake embellishments.

I also included a little paw print chipboard piece from the Treats (pet) Chipboard Punchout Embellishments, coloring both sides with my acrylic paint marker. Instead of attaching it to a page, I threaded it onto the album ring through one of the toe openings so it could dangle freely inside the album.

This Mini Acrylic Tag Album was such a fun way to document our new puppy’s first moments with us. I love how sturdy the acrylic tags are, making it perfect for flipping through over the years.

If you haven’t tried working with acrylic albums before, I highly recommend it—you can customize them in so many ways!

Spring Purses Memorydex Cards

Today I have these Beautiful “Spring Purses” Memory Dex Cards.

I used the Clear_Scraps

Chipboard_Purses_File_Dividers. As well as the 

Fancy_Stencil.

I used a mixed media approach to create these fun Memory Dex cards.

I traced around the chipboard_purses and the used scissors to cut out the shapes.

_

I Used Wer glue to adhere the cut outs to the chipboard.

Then I went about adding mediums and embellishments.

The stenciling worked out really well.

So I proceeded by making flowers that matched from the cardstock.

I enjoyed my crafty time.

Art stones add a fun whimsical element.

I even added hot glue to the center of the flowers and then spooned the mini stones over the center and really am pleased with the effect.

Then I added pops dots to replicate Easter eggs.

These turned out so cute and hopefully they inspired you.

Happy Spring and have a wonderful rest of your day.

 

Mouse Mini Memory Book

Today I am sharing this super cute Mini Memory Book.

I’ve used the Mouse_Mini_Album

You will get the Cover and Back and it’s already punched with two holes to bind anyway you like.

Ive used colored Binder rings and even made the dangle and a cute Tag to add some flair.

To add pages I traced the back cover then cut whatever was excess.

I used my punch to create the binder holes.

I used Black _Chalk_paint available on the Clear_Scraps website

.



I painted the inside of the covers.

iUsed some mixed media to give this some texture and interest.

Just have fun and use colors that go with the theme or print of the papers you’re using.

I used other colors to distress it.

As well as the scrapers available here on the Clear_Scraps website.

I used a stencil to mimic the look of tar on a racetrack.

I was feeling a steeet vibe with this page.

You can add more pages easily.

I mentioned earlier how easy it is to trace around the cover to make more pages.

The chalk paint is so cool and dries fairly quickly.

You can even draw on it with chalk.

I unfortunately didn’t have any and forgot to get some.

This was easy to embellish being small.

I used free  software to size digital elements so the would fit better.

tags and cut a parts for done tucks and pockets.

This would be great for an amusement part autograph book. And add pictures of your memories.

These make wonderful graduation gifts besides birthday.

I wish you a wonderful rest of your day.

Stop by the Clear_Scraos Website and see all of the wonderful products available for your next project.

Easter Memory-Dex Cards

Hi there! Judy here with my last Clear Scraps project for the month of March.

I have created a set of 3 Easter themed Memory-Dex Cards. 

Products used for this project are the Rounded Tab Chipboard Memory-Dex Dividers and the Faith Chipboard Punchout Embellishments.

I started by tracing the 3 chipboard dividers onto the backside of white card stock and cutting out. These pieces were adhered to the dividers

3 of the chipboard punchout embellishments were painted with white acrylic paint.

I started the 1st card by inking the top with blue ink.

Grass and tulips were die cut. I die cut the tulips with green and pink card stock for piecing.

The grass die cuts and bunny punchout were adhered. I pieced the tulips together.

The tulips were added along with a Spring dimensional sticker from my stash.

For the 2nd card I stenciled clouds on the white card stock.

Green card stock was cut with hill and grass dies.

The hill and grass die cuts were adhered to the card. I inked the edges of the cross punchout and die cut flowers.

The cross and flowers were added. I printed a sentiment and die cut. Pearls were added.

The 3rd card was left white. Leaves were die cut and adhered. I also die cut a pink scalloped circle.

3 Easter eggs were die cut. I punched flowers.

I glued the “Happy Easter” punchout to the scalloped circle and added to the card.

The flowers were adhered to the left side. Eggs were added to the right side.

All 3 cards are complete.

 

 

Thanks for checking out my project!

Clear Scraps--Shaker Tag--Springtime LO

Hi there everyone!  Laura is here with you today to share an idea for a springtime LO using one of the Clear Scraps Shaker Tags!

One of the things I love about Clear Scraps is how they can add a "WOW" factor to any project!  Whether home decor, a card or a scrapbook layout, they have so many different embellishments!  This LO is very easy to put together with a few layers of papers and ephemera, but adding the Clear Scraps Shaker Tag Bucket adds that extra something--it's a fun embellishment that adds interest and movement to an otherwise simple scrapbook page.  This is raw chipboard that you can use to create an embellishment to match your project perfectly.

I love the versatility of this tag.  It's being used as a garden bucket in this LO, but it's easily a beach pail filled with sand or shells, an Easter basket, or even a purse!  Your imagination is the only limit here!  Paint, stencil, stamp, trace out and cover with paper, even use it in a mini album since you have the option to leave the pail clear (see through!).

To create this tag, it was painted a soft green and the basket brown.  After I glued together the basket layers and added the sequins, I added a piece of paper to the back of the tag to cover the clear acrylic because I wanted a pattern to show thru rather than have it be clear.  Also, a little "tip": because of the see-through option, this comes with one more frame layer piece (the basket outline).  It's mean to go on the BACK of the tag when you put it together as a loose tag or album insert (when you want the back of the tag finished too).  Since it would be glued on the LO I did not need the extra bulk of that layer in the back.  This can be used as an embellishment for a card or page project later!

To finish the tag, I used a rub on to create the "pattern" on the green background, then added stickers and ephemera.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

 

Supplies Used:

Clear Scraps:  Shaker Tag Bucket

Other:  Acrylic paint--green, Simple Stories Simple Vintage Spring Garden papers, ephemera, stickers, enamel dots & rub ons.

Coffee Bar

Hello I am so excited to share this with you today.

Coffee Bar Decor.

I am using several different Clear_Scraps products for this Decor Project.

I started with the Medium_Fence and while several ideas popped into my mind. I remembered the Coffee_Chipboard_embellishments.

 “Cofffee Bar “ 

I Went for the Mason_Jar_Lid_Toppers.

I had an empty vitamin jar I thought would work and , gives me a chance to repurpose , and not discard.

It could be used for coffee beans storage in this case.

I used Paints and Mixed media to tackle this fun Decor projects.

Coffee Color Theme and golds.

The Black Chalk paint and Crackle medium gives a pleasing texture.

I really try to capture the Coffee Vibe.

Iced, Hot, Lates, Frappes is all embraced at this coffee bar.

Here are More pictures to best illustrates my process.

Thank you so much for viewing .

I hope you enjoy my vision for this project.

I have a clear cutting mat protecting my desk.
When working with adhesives and mixed media, it will be messy.
Keep something for working on so you have easy clean up.

I cut paper to cover my vitamin bottle.

Double sided tape worked best to cover the plastic bottle.

Shabby Chic with two different ribbons,

and some paper flowers.

Pops for the pink dots.

I have Velcro in the Topper so I can switch out the Coffee beans for a different one.

Hot glue works great attaching the crochet yo-yo.

Easter Memories Memory Dex Dividers

Hello, crafty friends, and happy crafting! I’m so excited to share Part 1 of my Easter project with you today. For this creative journey, I used the angle and rounded Tab Memory Dex dividers to capture some of my favorite Easter memories. I carefully selected the perfect papers for each divider, adding a personal touch to every piece.

angle dividers

rounded tab dividers

 

After tracing and cutting out the dividers, I glued them to the paper and used an X-Acto knife to clean up the edges for a polished finish. Next, I grabbed my brown Stazon ink to add a bit of vintage charm, inking the edges of each divider for that rustic, distressed look.

To bring everything together, I embellished each divider with a photo and a mix of fun, creative touches—ribbons, rub-ons, and die cuts—giving each one a unique and festive feel. I can't wait to show you more as this project comes together!

~ Jennifer 

Other materials used:

Stazon brown ink

49th & Market ARToptions Alena paper collection

3 in 1 glue

Misc ribbons, flowers and other embellisments

 

 

Lucky Butterfly Door hanger

It would be a cute Wallhanging decor piece too.

I made the beaded hanging element too. I had beads and wire in my stash and was able to come up with this just using hit glue.

I twisted the top after running one end of the wire through the eyehole of the bow bead.

Then wrapped both pieces of wire around to secure the bow.

Then twisted then a few times. Hot glued the beads as I went along adding them to the wire.

Clear_Scraps_Small_Wood_Butterfly_Embellishment is one of many designs you can find on the website.

Heres what I did and the paints I’ve used.

Current colors to get close to what’s trending currently.

Rainbow vibes for spring.

I used distressed sprays for the Lucky.

The picture doesn’t capture how sparkly it actually is here.

I attached the Beaded hanger with hot glue and punched circles to secure the ends to the back of the butterfly.

I used POPS to add more whimsy and found the perfect flower.

I am so happy to share this project with you and hope you are as inspired as I am.

Have a wonderful day.
