My Cup of Tea Printer Tray

Hi there! It’s Judy here with a home decor project created for Clear Scraps.

This is a tea themed printer tray using the Square Printer Tray and the new Mini Shaker Teapot.

I started this project by pulling out the 5 pieces of the printer tray.

2 of the chipboard cutout pieces were glued together.

I applied double sided tape to the edges of the chipboard back piece.

A piece of 12 x 12 inch card stock was adhered to the back.

Gold gilding wax was applied to the 3rd chipboard cutout piece and set aside.

I pulled out a coordinating paper pad and an assortment of dies from Crafter’s Companion to use for decorating the tray.

Die cutting was done.

Patterned papers were cut to 4 x 4 inches for some of the squares of the tray.

I started adding the patterned papers.

The die cuts were added to each section of the tray.

The protective film was removed from the acrylic divider.

The acrylic divider and top chipboard cutout piece were adhered to the tray.

The last part of the project is to put the shaker together.

I started by painting the chipboard pieces with acrylic paint.

Adhere 2 of the 3 chipboard forms together.

This piece is then adhered to the chipboard back.

Next, add shaker pieces.

Remove protective film from both sides of the acrylic piece.

Adhere the acrylic to the chipboard filled with shaker pieces.

Add the top chipboard piece to the acrylic.

I added some gold gilding wax to the teapot.

The teapot was added to the lower right fray front to finish.

 

I love the way this “My Cup of Tea” Printer Tray project came out and hope you do too!

“Romantic Cards” W/ Chipboard maniquin

Hello, I hope you’re well and having a wonderful day.
Denise Here to share with you some cards I have made using the Gorgeous Chipboard_ 4”x6”_ embellishments.

Clear_Scraps has many styles and themes to choose from.

Don’t forget to run over and check them out for future projects you may be thinking of.

Now let’s get into these gorgeous embellishments and make some cards.

Ihave gone there my supplies and chose some mediums and metal cutting dies.

I was not quite sure which direction I was heading so I made sure to grab everything I might want to work with.

I cut out the embellishment  was working with first.

With some small scissors you can trim these out very easily.

I used wet glue and printed cardstock for the first card.

I covered the back of the embellishment with clear gesso to seal it.

Then glue it to the cardstock and used a craft knife to carefully cut around the embellishment.

This one being a solid piece without and inlay cuts is great for attaching to paper.

I love how it came out and decided to ink distress the edges.

Here is a before and the ink I used.

I used some fun Valentines related metal dies for this card. 
I used RedMetallic Cardstock and pink foam.

I had a heart Rossette in my stash from a friend.

I had fun creating the upbeat and pop art style card.

Now I’ll share the Shabby Chic style one with you.

it’d a good example of working with limited supplies and what you may find in your paper pads. 
Fussy cutting images from a paper pad is a great way to make a card.

This flowers themed collection had alot of images to work with.

Thankfully. So I took advantage of it and love how this card came out.

This time I painted the embellishment.

I had a soft peach acrylic paint that matched perfectly.

This embellishment being more open. Paint was a great way to go for my second card.

I used some gold to distress the edges and the footed area.

I used this same paper collection with both cards.

Here’s some more images showing my process.

Both card are a 6” x8” And folded in half.

Then May a piece 1/4 smaller on all 4 sides than the cards.

The foam tape pops up the embellishment and other pieces I want to stand out.

I like the subtle stamping of the Sentiment for this project. I like the shabby fading it’s giving.
Now let’s fussy cut some images.

Foam tape is almost a must when creating a scene. It gives a lot of life to a project.






I arranged my images and inked the edges with the same inks and added some glitter pen to the blue areas to mimic the blue light image.

I really enjoyed making these and working with Clear _Scraps embellishments.

I decided to make one more card with the Chipboard_Fences and here’s how I went about making it.

The fence is left from a previous Project I posted a while back.

I had already painted it and it was ready to go.

I am working with the same Papers and this card I juxtaposed a scrap piece of plain cardstock.

Then I prepared some fussy cuts images again like my previous card. 
it went together quickly.

The black foam is a special tool for shaping flowers. With a fondant tool you can manipulate the paper to look more realistic.

Wonky placement of paper gives interesting results.

so far love how it’s coming together.

I decided to add more elements.

Thank you for coming by today and checking out my projects shares.

Its a joy to create these Projects and hope that they inspire you to create some for yourself.

Have a wonderful and Blessed Day.

All chipboard embellishments are available on the Clear_Scraps Website.

Winter Memories Mini Album

Hello again it’s been a great start to the new year so far.

Today I am sharing a Mixed_Up Chipboard Mini Album.

This one is a bit different and extra fun with the cutouts and size variance of the pages.

The Star cut out is festive element.

I have the Clear_Scraps Crosses embellishment.

I used some mixed media elements to make everything more distressed.

Each page I treated similarly and used the same mediums in different ways.

The Chipboard _Key_Embellishment and Crosses_Embellishments are a 4” x6” chipboard piece that you can easily cut apart.

I used a stencil from my stash to paint some texture into my background.

The Mint Paint was the perfect color to enhance the Beautiful Cross.

The Chipboard_key was serendipitous.

I happened to still have this one and it was perfect for the Door background.

I was still in the Winter Mood when I searched my stash for a Paper collection to work with.

This Mini Album is a perfect December Daily or January Daily for this who love to journal.

Art Journaling is a wonderful way to spend some crafty time.

Mixed Media let’s you be free with creativity and just let go and have some Meditation while your in the Crafty Zone.

This Page I left it and just grabbed some Metallic Micah Distress Spray and it worked fabulously.

I really wanted this to be a contrast to the rest of the Album. It’s the center and adds a Beautiful Vintage feel to my Album.

I always enjoy working with these sprays.

A little goes a long way and,  gave me that pop of color as well as being the vintage colors I wanted.

Oh Boy this is so shiny and the Micah is intense.

This page is the Cover as well.

I wanted the Start to be The Star and I went for Gold and then I had some fun.

 

I’m a shabby vintage kind of Crafter and this paper let me go wild.

I tore paper for some pages and then seal everything with Decopage

I grabbed Diamond Dust and wanted to add some sparkle like  a winter icy motifs.

I also had a Mail theme in mind since Christmas is over.

You can keep 2024 memories in this super sweet Mini Album.

This could be a Beautiful Prayer Journal or Junk Journal.

These Mixed_ups_Mini_Albums are perfect for scrap busting what you have from previous Projects.

Just have fun and let your imagination be free.

I traced around a page and cut out with scissors and adhered it to the page.

I did both sides the same way.

I found flowers in my crafty stash perfect for the colors and theme.

Winter Vibes.

I live in the mountains and we have a lot of Deer and I couldn’t resist using this sweet image.

Fortuitous that it’s also a door image for the Key.

I sealed all of the Paper pages and images with Decopage.

It gives it that glossy sheen that I really loved for this Mini Album.

I added a Clip and tied sequins tule.

I love the bow on a clip for a shabby functional element.

The Last Page /Back Cover It meant to look like a painted mural.

I covered in Acrylic paint and ripped paper.

Decopaged to the background.

I found lace and cut it up for a  corner pocket.

Rubbed on some gold paint.

The Beautiful Angel makes me smile.

She’s so sweet and is praying along with us for a Wonderful and Peaceful 2025.

Thank you so much for sharing this crafty Journey with me for this Project.

“Giftspiration” Christmas Packaging

Are you stumped for some handmade packaging ideas ?

I have a few fun ideas to share.

Do you like to upcycle or make boxes?

Here’s a way to create some pretty packaging without using wrapping paper.

Clear_Scraps has many stencils and chipboard_embellishments.

Today come along for some “Giftspiration” I hope you will enjoy as much as I did creating it.

All you need is a few crafty supplies and imagination.

You can purchase other fabulous Chipboard_Embellishments to fit your theme of your project.

I will be using a collection from my stash that I feel worked very well for my needs.

You can use inexpensive boxes and bags from local craft supply stores or. party favors sections in your favorite stores, to find some plain styles perfect for playing with.

Lighter colors work best.

We  can see how a dark background could be an issue unless you have some specific mediums for dark backgrounds.

Stenciling paste would work very well.

I have created my Gift bag with cardstock and Metal dies cutting sets and other crafty items.

I used A Star Die cut to make the opening for a peekaboo window. I used Acetate to cover the inside of the Star window.

I did this to both sides lining up the Star to be as close to the same placement on both sides.

I used different size stars to float inside the front Star window for a “you can peak “ but can’t quite see what’s inside .

Here’s my box that I used printed paper but mostly whit background.

The yellow stenciling really pops in it.

I used stickles and a black glitter pen to add to for the and the gold stickles makes the illusion of a sparkly lights.

I used stamping inks for stenciling and to color the Lamp Posts and then a bit of mixed media to give them a more realistic feel.

I got my go to favorite mixed media mediums, and had some fun.

Here’s my 3”x 6” Skinny Minny cards

Take a 6”x6” cardstock and fold in half 

One I single matted the other I went for the double mat.

The matting pieces measurement are below.

 

5 “7/8X 2 7/8.   5” 5/8x2”5/8

See how the lamp fits this card without too much bulk.

A larger card or mini albums definitely would work well.

Thank you so much for stopping by and …

I wish you a

Happy December Xoxo.

Above is the Chipboard_Wheel_Gears

I am mainly working with these today.

The Lampposts are also available if you would like to make a Christmas themed one.

I wanted to share another style perfect for Christmas.

I really wanted to make a fun gift for someone whom enjoys Cruising and overseas adventures.

I will be using the Lampposts for my next project.

Now let’s make the book.

You will need a decent plain cardstock and a designer collection ir printed paper if you like the combination.

Get a score board and cutter or scissors, any of your favorite supplies will be perfect.

I am also choosing to work with wet Glue.

1 Standard 11”X8 1/2 cardstock printer size cardstock.

fold or score long side in half 

Score short side one side only to make interior pockets.

 

Here are pictures to illustrate the measurements and steps.

score at 5 3/4”  to make the inside pockets.



now fold and  and grab you scissors to do some cutting.

Now scissors to cut the fold to make two separate pockets.

Here’s a closeup 

Let’s get our glue and make the pockets.

What we do to one side we will do to both.

and get a corner rounder if you like rounded corners like mine.

Let’s glue the flaps up on the outside of the flaps.

Gold up and adhere to page.

Do the same to other side.

We now have our interior pockets.

Now get the Papers you chose to cover your book.

Get your chipboard embellishments.

Have some mixed media fun or leave plain.

It’s really easy to cut out the embellishments.

Scissors work best.
I grabbed my stash of mediums I was inspired to work with. I even had some die cuts that were perfect for me and my project.

Gomd paint is my favorite.

I enjoy distress oxide inks for the shabby and or vintage effect.

Here’s the paper and dies cuts I mentioned earlier.

Let’s cover our books.

Following illustration and measurements.

Sizes of cardstock.

2 matting pieces for front and back of book.

A thumb notcher or 1” circle punch for pockets.

First we cover plain cardstock.

5 3/4” x 5 1/2” and round the top right corner.
Now second piece is also our first large pocket.

5 1/2”x 5 1/4” notch center and punch right corner.

 

If you want to start with a print you can just do the other matting piece in the next steps.

Now let’s glue the on the pocket and cover to the front of our book.

First gets glued entirely and the second is our pocket.

glue sides and bottom only.

Do the same to the back but switch orientation of the notched pocket.

Now let’s decorate the front. And then the interior.

Some cut aparts or journaling cards will work great.

I had a lot of fun with these pocket books.

Dimensional tapes and dots work well for popping up images.

This liquid pearls works well too if you have it handy.

To finish up I’ll somewhat do the same as to the first Book.

Thank you and have a Happy Crafty Day.

See you in the next post.

 

Standing House Decor Hanger with Christmas ornaments

Hello Denise here today with a Standing Decor piece I hope you will love as much as I do.
Clear_Scraps had many types of seasonal Shakers.

Not everyone hads a large space to decorate for holidays.

I thought this could be a fun alternative that could give you Joy throughout the year.

I kept the Standing_House neutral colors I love and still could work with all of the holidays.

 

Since we’re heading into Christmas I wanted to give you Some ideas.

I have used several shakers.

Christmas_Stocking

 Star_Shaker

Wine Glass_Shaker

I used a lot of flowers and the Circles _Embellishment is also a Clear _Scraps product available.

I used mixed media techniques and some fun mediums to achieve a distressed and antiques metal finish.

Here’s some images with what products I’ve used to paint the house.

Soft wide up and down strokes with a large paint brush .

Then I splatted big drops of paint.

I repeated to stand and back of the house.

I used gold to finish the outer edge all around.

Heres how I did some other embellishing.

I def hot glue mostly for the flowers and the filigree embellishment at the top with the  nob.

They come with the set when you purchase the Standing _House

The sentiment worked perfectly for my needs.

The shakers were quick and funny to make.

I used my personal mix. You can purchase Shaker_Mixes from Clear_Scraps.

I really love how the Chipboard _circles Cane out.

I used quite a few mediums.

Diamond dust and rock candy mediums give a beautiful texture.

Above is most of what I used to get all of the finished look I wanted to achieve.

I hop this inspires you to get crafty and make what you like and specifically to your style and taste.

The Diamond dust remind me if a slight dusting of snow on the stocking.
The Rock candy gives me a chilly vibe for a frosty star and spirited drink.

The Paper collection has a peppermint candy theme that I loved for this Start to December.

I had some fun matching chipboard stickers from the collection.

Organza bows and some tin beads added to the vibe.

The organza ribbon works well for the hanging element.

I used hot glue to attach it to the shakers and some tiny paper circles Where the ribbon is attached on the back to reinforce it all.

I used acrylic paints to start off with.

Before starting these, I first sealed them with clear Gesso.

I chose some paints to work with ,and other mediums to decorate the background ,and some embellishments and ribbons.

The Distress Rock Candy medium is going to hopefully give me an effect of some kind of frothy candy or like making a cake.

This is a lot of fun and the ideas are limitless .

I used different brushes and the fan brush gave me some heavy gold streaks I wanted for the background.

I found a fun Retro Collection that inspired these Memorydex cards.

I had sicker elements and a leaf dies set for some extra background ephemera.

I went about all of the embellishments the same way just different themes for each one.

The Rock Candy medium looks like sugar spilling over or like making Swiss Meringue Frosting.

I used hot glue and backed all of the stickers with cereal chipboard. I like the extra sturdiness.

Acrylic Recipe Memedex File Dividers

Hello Denise Here today to share these fun Memorydex Cards

Recipe Memdex File Dividers

Baking_Acrylic_Dividers_3PK  

Available at Clear_Scraps online store.

 

 

I had a lot of fun with these.

I used Wet Glue and 3D Gel medium to apply the embellishments. Hot glue can damage the acrylic so I stay clear of it unless I know I will be safe using it.

Here’s how I went about it.

First let’s make the Christmas Chartucherie Board

I used scraps of a recent Christmas Prima Collection 

I layered with some shabby elements from my stash.

I grabbed a Clear_Scraps 4”X6”_Lights_Stencil for just a little something extra to make this project festive.

The Christmas_Lights_Stencil also available here on the Clear_Scraps Website.

I used texture paste that I like very much.

And just had some fun layering the elements.

Then I thought Texas Barbecue and grabbed the Mini_Texas_Shaker embellishment and had some fun going all out for this Project.

This was so much fun to make. 
All of the Clear_Scraps_Shakers come with the layers and acrylic topper to complete the shake you only need to get add you filler and you have a shaker for any project you can think of 

I traced out the cardstock for the back piece before cutting it out and adhering it.

I used stickers and dimensional tape and just had fun embellishing.

Now for the Cake and Cookie Mixer card.

I decided to cut out the paper for just the bowl of the mixer and used some stickers and seam binding.

I just love how these all came out and hope you are inspired to make some too.

Have an awesome rest of your fabulous crafty day.

Remember to go check out all of the amazing Clear_Scraps Products and have some crafty fun.

Thank you so much for stopping by and also go see all of my team mates projects for more inspiration.

 

 

Clear Scraps--Mini Shaker Circle Bats--Hey, Pumpkin LO

Hello all!  Laura here with you today!  Have you gotten back those Halloween photos and need some inspiration for a LO?  Look no further than Clear Scraps and their wonderful Mini Shakers!

This sweet, simple LO is easy to create by layering in a few spooky pattern papers.  Aside from the base piece, it could easily be done using up some scraps you have too!  The pictures take center stage--matted on black cardstock, but a few well placed foam stickers add dimension and pizzazz.  Better yet is the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Bats!

This shaker is the perfect embellishment accent for this page!  It looks great on any Halloween LO or project!  I kept it simple by using black paint on the frame, I traced the striped paper with the solid back of the shaker, cut out, then glued on.  I layered in the frame pieces, added some sparkly sequins and beads in fun, bright Halloween colors, then added the acrylic layer.  I've said it many times, but I love the protective layer on both sides of this acrylic.  It's easy to peel off, but it's great to keep the acrylic clean and scratch free until you are ready to finish putting together the shaker!  Once that's all done, add the top frame and it's good to go!  These are great embellishments to have on hand!  There are a lot of great Halloween options in the Clear Scraps Store too!  You can look through all the possibilities HERE.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! 

Hope this has given you some inspiration and ideas for scrapping all those fun Halloween photos from parties, trick or treat, parades, etc.  You really can keep you LO simple but by adding the Clear Scraps Mini Shakers, it elevates your LO to another level!

House Medium DIY Pallet Shape

 

Alice Mini Album

Hello, friends! It’s Jennifer here, diving into a magical adventure with my mini album. I’m using a 5x7 chipboard album and the enchanting Stamperia “Alice Through The Looking Glass” collection to craft a delightful journey featuring Alice and her friends. Can’t wait to share this whimsical escapade with you all!

5x7 chipboard album

To start, I selected the perfect paper for each base page, then carefully traced and cut them out. I finished by cleaning up the edges and inking them with a touch of black ink to add a bit of depth and contrast. Next, I moved on to decorating the cover. I used a shutter by Prima Marketing to create a charming window on the front. To ensure a perfect fit, I carefully disassembled the shutter and removed the back pieces, as they were too bulky for the page. I then meticulously selected different ephemera and die-cut pieces from the collection to assemble a whimsical scene on the front cover. Alice is depicted reading her book, surrounded by the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat. To enhance the magical atmosphere, I tucked various tea pots, cups, flowers, and mushrooms into the scene, adding a touch of moss throughout to bring it all to life.

For Page 1, I started by tearing a piece of 5x7 paper and inking the edges for a distressed look. I adhered the left side, top, and bottom to create a pocket. Next, I added a die-cut piece of Alice sitting amidst moss, flowers, and a butterfly, giving the effect of her resting in the grass. I then selected a few tags and cards from the collection, inked their edges, and embellished one of the tags with ribbon and a charm before tucking them neatly into the pocket.

On page 2, I crafted a delightful flap that tucks neatly beneath the base page, adding a touch of intrigue and functionality. I meticulously fussy cut a 3x7 strip of vibrant floral paper, inked the edges for that vintage charm, and adhered it along the side, top, and bottom to form a chic pocket. Inside, I nestled a few 2x3 cards, perfect for capturing photos or jotting down precious memories.

The flap itself is adorned with complementary paper and elevated with charming die cuts. This design is not just about embellishment but about creating an interactive, personalized space that invites storytelling and creativity.

 

For page 4, I started by preparing the base page, giving the edges a distressed ink finish for a hint of vintage flair. I then cut a 3.5x3.5 piece of printed paper, carefully inked the edges, and used it to create a charming photo mat.

To enhance the page, I selected an assortment of die cuts and chipboard pieces, layering them with care to add texture and visual interest. For a whimsical touch, I sprinkled a bit of faux moss along the bottom of the page, infusing the design with a playful, nature-inspired element that invites a sense of magic and wonder.

Page 5 is truly a whimsical highlight of the project! I envisioned capturing the magic of Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole. To achieve this, I began by selecting two pieces of tea-stained paper, which I cut into 3x7 strips. I then tore one edge of each strip along the 7-inch side, folding back the torn sections to create a sense of unraveling. The edges were inked to enhance the aged, mystical look.

Next, I cut two 3.5x7 pieces of printed paper, scoring 1 inch along the 7-inch side to form flaps. After inking the edges, I carefully adhered these pieces to the back of a chipboard base, ensuring they fit seamlessly. This layered approach adds depth and invites curiosity, perfectly embodying the enchanting descent into Wonderland.

Continuing the whimsical theme on page 5, I glued the tea-stained paper pieces onto the exterior of the flaps I  added a magnet (will add the other magnet to the base page) to each side to keep them securely in place. To further enhance the scene, I adorned the page with an assortment of die-cut elements: keys, a vintage clock, playing cards, and a charming teacup.

In the bottom right corner, I placed a delightful rabbit die cut, complete with a metal key, and nestled it into a bed of faux moss to evoke a touch of enchantment. To maintain the seamless look of the design, I carefully covered the magnets with die-cut pieces, ensuring the magical elements took center stage.

For the finishing touches on page 5, I secured the magnets to the chipboard base, then added a base page to complete the structure. I cut a piece of printed paper to craft a pocket at the bottom of the page, where I tucked in a few photo mats and printed cards for added functionality and charm.

Inside the flaps, I embellished with additional die-cut keys and a selection of chipboard quotes, enhancing the whimsical theme and providing thoughtful touches. Finally, I adorned the exterior of the pocket with coordinating decorations, ensuring every detail contributes to the enchanting narrative of Alice’s adventure.

 

For page 6, I covered the base page with a vibrant backdrop and featured the whimsical phrase "We are all mad here" to keep the playful spirit of Alice’s adventure alive. To complement this, I added charming die cuts of a teapot and the Mad Hatter's hat, enhancing the thematic continuity and inviting a touch of Wonderland's eccentricity to the page.

For the final page, I set the stage for the Queen of Hearts' grand entrance by covering the base page with a striking chessboard pattern, capturing the intensity of her domain. I then crafted a pocket from heart-printed paper, adding a playful touch and a hint of romance.

Inside the pocket, I arranged several scene-printed tags from the collection, each depicting iconic Wonderland characters: the Caterpillar, Cheshire Cat, Queen’s Court, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and the Mad Hatter. These tags were adorned with ribbons and Alice-themed charms, adding a whimsical and personal touch.

To complete the look, I embellished the pocket with a regal Queen of Hearts die cut, vibrant flowers, and the word “Wonderland,” tying together the fantastical theme and inviting a final flourish of enchantment to the page.Thank you for joining me on this magical journey through my mini album featuring Alice's adventures. I truly enjoyed bringing this whimsical project to life, and I hope it has sparked your creativity. May you find inspiration to craft your own enchanting Alice mini book and embark on your own delightful adventure! ~Jennifer

 

Easy 3D Wooden House Photo Display

  Hello Crafty Peeps,

I am super excited to share today's project with y'all. So today I am using the Standing House with wood embellishment from Clear Scraps. This is such an amazing item, you can use this in so many fun ways to display photos, recipes, scrapbook layout, you could decorate for any season or occasion. I had so many ideas I couldn't decide what to create. lol  I finally decided to create something to hold some photos of my grandgirls. I hope you like today's easy project with the step by step tutorial below and I have a video tutorial as well. I have the link to this house below and throughout the tutorial just click on the word and your directed to the store/product.

Standing House with wood embellishment

 

To start off I traced the house onto a pattern paper and fussy cut.

 

 

Next I painted the bottom stand and the insert (seen in upper right corner) with a brown paint. 

 

 

Next I painted the embellishment a green color, I used distressed paint peeled paint and sporadically painted with paint couture paint amazon color. 

 

After the embellishment was dried I adhered to the top of the house, then adhered the little knob to the top of that. You could use this for a photo holder as you will see in the photo below. 

 

 

I attached the photo to some twine and then attached twine across the two ends of the house and placed  small clothespins on the twine with photos. I thought this would be a cute idea as you could change out the photos if you wanted. 

 

 

Here is the finished version of the Standing House with wood embellishment. I really think the green on the wooden embellishment stands out and made a great accessory.

Clear Scraps--Mini Shaker Sunglasses-Eat Sleep Beach LO

Hi there everyone!  Laura here with you today to get you into that summertime scrapping mode with this LO!!

Who's got those pictures coming in from the pool, the beach, the waterpark, or the lake?  This bright fun LO is perfect for scrapping your summer fun!  The inspiration started with the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Sunglasses. 

They were painted a bright orange on the top frame.  The back was traced on white with sunshine pattern paper.  After it was cut out, the back solid piece was glued to the back.  Then the plain frame layers were glued down, sequins added, then the acrylic layer and the painted frame.  I added the sentiment to the top as well.  There are a lot of great Mini Shakers in the Clear Scraps store HERE!  Make sure to pop over and peruse all of the different shapes--something for just about any holiday, season or event.  And even some basic shapes so you can create one for truly anything you'd like!  You can also see the cool dot pattern along the side of this LO.  It gives a little pop of color to the plain white cardstock.  It was created using the Clear Scraps 6" Circle stencil.  It was simply brushed on with some distress ink.  Stencils are a great way to create a paper that matches any project!

To finish off the LO a simple title was all that was needed with the fun shaker and the journal card used. 

The Clear Scraps Together Chipboard Word Title is perfect.  It's now all ready for those summer vacay pictures!!  I love having these kinds of LO ready to go for my pics--makes scrapbooking super easy!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Make sure to stop back soon for more inspiration--we've got a lot of great projects coming!

Clear Scraps:  Mini Shaker Sunglasses, 6" Circle Stencil, Together Chipboard Word Title.

8x8 Acrylic Calendar Display

 Good Morning everyone,

I hope you all are having a great day. Today I am sharing with a really fun idea you can do using the 8x8 Acrylic Page Display along with the 6 inch Flower Pot Stencil from Clear Scraps.  Not only can you use this to display your beautiful layouts but you can also use it for monthly calendars. I have a fun a step by step tutorial for you below. 

        8x8 Acrylic Page Display                                         6 inch Flower Pot Stencil

                       

 

Let's start by removing the plastic film from both sides of the Page Display Case. 

Then cut a piece of card stock at 8x8 inches. 

 

 

Next print out a Calendar. You can find free calendars on the internet for every month. I think this would be fun to change out every month with a new design, especially during holidays. 

Adhere the calendar to the 8x8 inch card stock, and trim off the excess paper. 

 

 

I also cut out a few borders to go around the edges of the calendar. I thought a fun summer theme would be great for July. 

 

 

Next bring in the 6 inch Flower Pot stencil and inks. I thought it would be fun to ink up the calendar with the flowers. You can still write in any appointments or events in the calendar.

I used my memento inks. 

 

 

I did five flowers, and only three pots at the bottom. I think this is looking pretty fun to display on my frig. 

 

 

Next I used some of the stickers from the paper collection to decorate around the calendar. I added some ice cream cones, a fun summer sentiment, summer drink and a banner. I also added some flower stickers in the middle of each stenciled flower. On the flower pots I drew a little chevron design on top of each flower pot using different colored ink pens. 

 

Next I added some magnets to the back for placing on the frig or you can place a ribbon under the little frame and tie as I did below. 

 

 

Here is the finished Calendar. I think it turned out so good. I really like this idea and how fun to change out each month with a new design on it. 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial showing how you can use this fun 8x8 Acrylic Page Display not only for displaying a page layout with photos but also as a fun display for your calendars.
