Clear Scraps--Mason Jar Lid--Fall Gifts

Hi there everyone!  Laura here today to share an idea for a great giftable for fall/Halloween using these NEW goodies from Clear Scraps!

These sweet little Mason Jar Wooden Cover sets from Clear Scraps are a super simple, but a great way to give any gift!  You can create these little guys with all different or theme related inserts so someone can change them for the seasons!  That's why it's so great they come with in a set of THREE inserts with the pieces to create the lid!

You can just paint, ink, stain, paper, whatever your heart desires!  I painted all three lids, but then added stencils for a little creative flair!

For the Halloween lid inserts, the lids were painted green and orange, and then stenciled using black ink and a soft blending brush and the Clear Scraps 5x9 GEO Fans Stencil.

To add an everyday fall option, this one was painted brown and then stenciled in a dark espresso brown using the same method and the 6" Chevron stencil.

To decorate this chevron/fall lid, the NEW Clear Scraps Embellishment Chipboard Punchout sheet had the adorable coffee mug in the wintery set.

The mug and whipped cream "topper" were painted with acrylic paints, and then a little sticker sentiment and enamel dots added for a finishing touch.

The Halloween set was easy to finish off with some cute stickers.

The were added with foam tape to give them some extra dimension and then sentiments and a few enamel dots and all done!

 

These truly make cute and easy gifts or favors for any occasion!  Just grab a mason jar with a standard opening size and they pop right on top!  You can fill the mason jar with all sorts of fun candies, treats, little gifts like a spa gift set with nail items in there, anything you choose!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

 

Supplies Used:

Fall Wall Decor

Hi there! It’s Judy here with a Fall Wall Decor project created for Clear Scraps!

 

I’ll be using the Large Circle Shiplap Shape and the Large Tractor Chipboard Embellishment.

To start I added an ivory acrylic paint to the shiplap shape with a brush and then rubbed some off with a dried baby wipe.

Next I added a burnt ochre paint sporadically and around the edge before rubbing with the wipe to give an aged effect.

The tractor is painted next with bronze and black acrylic paint. I added black circles cut out of card stock to the center of the wheels.

A digital barn image purchased on Etsy was printed. 

I tore around the edges of the print and inked with a brown stamp pad. 

Mod podge was applied to the back of the print.

The print was adhered to the shiplap shape. Mod podge was added over the front surface of the shiplap and dried with a heat gun.

 

Time to add the tractor. I added some pieces of cardboard to the backside for a little dimension, before adhering to the shiplap.

Ribbon and sunflowers were pulled out.

I made a 3 loop bow and added to the top of the shiplap circle.

5 sunflowers were added.

I wanted to add a little something more, so pulled out a Blessed Chipboard Word Title.

Color was add to the word title with an alcohol marker.

The word title is added to the barn image to complete the project.

I hope you like my project as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Hello Denise here, today I have for you this Fall_ Medium _House _Pallet.  Mixed Media wall hanging.

I’ve used the Clear_Scraps_Medium_House_Pallet


I hope you are inspired and I will show you how I made it.

First I chose and printed up a Fall paper collection

then I Glued it and cut around to remove the paper.

After I cleaned all of the edges up I used gold paint to distress and add some vintage feel to this project.

This really is a quick process and, I then splattered some of the gold paint and while it dries; I picked out embellishments.

I used hot glue and got flowers and some dry straw and whatever I could think of to add.

I really enjoyed the crafty time.

I made some flowers to fill in empty space and, to feel like the flowers were popping out of the background .

I fussy cut the pumpkin and some other ephemera for this project and hot glued the Twine. Painted the beads to match better.

To start off I painted all my truck pieces red. I just used regular acrylic paint.

**Note - you will need wood glue or some type of strong glue to put your pieces together. 

 

 

Next I painted the back bumper and the side gates green. 

I did paper the inside bottom part of the truck. 

 

 

After I finished painting the front and back of each piece and they're all dried I placed the front of the truck down and placed the side into the slots of the truck. Place glue on each of the wooden tabs and insert them into the slots.

 

 

This is the bottom inside piece, I had covered with pattern paper. I placed the wood glue on the tabs.

 

 

I adhered on the back and adhered the bumper on. 

 

 

 

Here is the truck all put together. I decorated the truck with Christmas stickers, adhering them down. 

I love how festive it looks. 

 

 

Here are the mem-dex cards all decorated using some of the Christmas papers, ephemera and stickers. 

I did use some foam tape to pop up some of the elements I used on each of the mem-dex cards so I could do a layered look.

6" Flower Pot Stencil                                      4x6 hello FALL Stencil

 

 

Word n Shape Fall-Pumpkin

 

 

 

To begin this DIY K-cup holder pick out a pattern paper or cardstock cut at 81/2 x 11 inches. 

Place the paper with the 8 1/2 inch across the scoreboard score at 2 and 6 1/2 inches; turn the paper with the 11 inches across the top of the scoreboard and score at 4, 6 1/4, 8 1/4, and 10 1/2 inches. 

Then cut all 4 corners off, as shown below

 

Next take a circle that is about 5/8 inches or  3/4 inches and trace on the bottom panel that is above the 1/2 inch flap on the bottom. (as shown below)

 

Below shows the how the circles are cut out. These are where your K cups will fit inside. 

 

 

Next cut the in between each of the flaps where you scored. as shown below. These flaps will be folded in to create a box. 

 

Fold the side flaps inward and adhere down, next adhere the 1/2 inch flap to the large panel. 

 

 

Next I took the wooden pumpkin from the Word n Shape Fall-Pumpkin, traced the pumpkin on pattern paper and adhered onto the wooden pumpkin, I painted the stem brown.

 

Next I painted the wooden word "FALL" using distressed paint. I also added a few pieces from the pattern paper collection sticker page and adhered them on. 

 

For this next project create another K-cup Holder, and cut a piece of cardstock at 4 x 7 1/2 inches. 

 

 

Next I used a piece of pattern paper that is adhered on to the 4 x 7 1/2 inches of cardstock.

I used the 6 inch flower pot stencil, I used ink to color in the pots and then used yellow paint mixed with textured paste to create the yellow flower, set aside to dry. 

 

Next use I used the 4x6 hello FALL stencil to stencil in the word "hello" above the flower. 

 

Then I decorated the K-cup Holder using stickers and sentiments from the paper collection. 

 

 

Here is a photo of both of these cute K-cup Holders all done and put together.

Winter Shadow Box

Hello, friends! Jennifer here with an exciting new product that I absolutely adore: shadow boxes! The possibilities with these are endless. For this project, I used a 6x6 shadow box to create a charming winter home decor piece.

6x6 shadow box

embellishment chipboard punchout

To start, I laid out the shadow box pieces and gave the front and back of each one a crisp coat of white chalk paint. Next, I cut a 6x6 piece of enchanting blue winter paper to serve as the background. For a different twist, you could use unique papers for each of the four sections to create your own magical scene. While the paint dried, I punched out the phrases "Let it Snow" and "Warm and Cozy" from the embellishments and used paint pens to infuse them with various shades of blue.

Next, I punched out a snowflake and coated it with white chalk paint. While the paint was still fresh, I sprinkled on "Rock Candy" by Tim Holtz, giving the snowflake a mesmerizing, glittering finish.

 

For each square, I infused a touch of winter magic. I crafted a snowball pile with white balls, placed a charming snowman with a snow-touched wreath and elegant white deer amidst snow-touched bottle brush trees. A glimmer of silver snowflake ribbon and the delicate shimmer of blue washi tape, paired with a cascade of blue cabochons in various shades, bring this winter home decor piece to life.

I added a touch of magic by applying sparkle paste and "rock candy" to the base of the deer and bottle brushes, evoking a gentle snowfall. To enhance the wintery vibe, I tucked in a few different shades of blue beads, adding depth and dimension to the scene. I’m thrilled with how this little piece of home decor has come together! I can't wait to add it to my Christmas decorations. I hope it sparks some inspiration for you to create your own festive masterpiece!

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. 

 

 

 

 

I  hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial using the Standing House with wood embellishment. I hope you like it. I think this was so easy and fast to put together. Didn't take long at all.

Country Kitchen Cutting Board Home Decor

Hello Craft Friends!

Dana here! I'm back today to create an easy Home Decor project to display in your kitchen! I hope you'll like it and be inspired. To create this project, I'll be using Clear Scraps Cutting Board Shiplap Shape-Medium. Click here

The Chipboard Embellishments I chose are Clear Scraps Cooking Utensils Chipboard Click here and Clear Scraps Baking Chipboard Embellishments Click here

The paper collection I chose is Carta Bella "Country Kitchen " but you can use any paper collection you choose. This is a good way to use extra stickers and papers in my stash.

To begin our project, I applied some Bright Yellow acrylic paint on the top handle and sides of my cutting board. Let dry.

While drying, you can chose 3 different papers to cover all 3 sections on your cutting board. I cut to fit, inked along the edges using Distress Ink Gathered Twigs, and  glued in place. Then trim any excess paper from the sides, using your xaco knife. See photo:

 

I cut out a border strip sentiment and glued at the top edge of my cutting board. Here's how mine looks so far:

At the bottom edge of my cutting board, I cut apart some circle sticker pendants and adhered upside down at the bottom edge. I folded the bottom of each circle sticker and adhered with glue on the bottom edge of my cutting board. See photo:

From scrap paper I cut out 4 milk caps and inked around the edges. I also cut out a small journal card. See photo:

Set these pieces aside for now. Take your Clear Scraps Cooking Utensils and Baking Chipboard Embellishments. Cut apart the slotted spoon, whip and spatula. You can save the other chipboard embellishments for a future project. 

I covered the top handles with brown ink, and the spatula with orange ink. On the slotted spoon I applied light brown ink. Here's a photo:

On the whip, I applied brown ink on the handle and silver Gliding Wax over top of the whip. Sorry I didn't get a separate photo of the whip. Sometimes I get into my craft MOJO and forget to take a separate photo. But I will have a finished photo to share at the end.

I applied foam tape on the backside of my journal card and adhered on the middle section at the leftside. On the right side I applied 3 sticker sentiments. On the 2 tag stickers I added a colorful enamel dot over each hole on my tiny Tags. Here's a closeup look:

On the handle at the top I applied a sticker "Mix it Up" Taking some red ribbon I thread each chipboard embellishment onto my ribbon and arranged at the top. I did secure each chipboard embellishment with some hot glue. I tied a knot at the top.

Here's acouple photos:

My finished piece:

Now we're finished! It's ready to hang and display in your kitchen or nook! I hope you enjoyed my project idea.

Halloween Shaker Wands

 

Hi there! It’s Judy here with a super fun project created for Clear Scraps, Halloween Shaker Wands. These would make cute decorations and/or party favors and, of course, can be adapted for any holiday or theme.

 

3 mini shakers are used for this project, Mini Shaker Witch Hat, Mini Shaker Candy Corn, and Mini Shaker Circle Ghosts.

 

These shaker Include 1-chip back, 3 chip forms, 1 acrylic divider (must remove protective film).

 

I started by creating 3 rosettes.

 

Cut 3 strips of patterned paper for each measuring 2 x 12 inches.

Score each strip every 1/2 inch along the 12 inch side.

Adhere 3 strips end to end to form a circle for each rosette.

Die cut 2 small circle for each.

Flatten the circles, squeeze together and add glue to the center.

Apply a circle die cut to the center on both sides of each rosette piece. This holds the rosettes together.

Next I die cut 3 scalloped circles.

The rosettes were adhered to the die cuts.

I painted 3, 1/8 inch dowels black for the wand handles.

When the dowels are dry, glue them to the rosette pieces between the between the rosette and the circle die cut.

 

Put the shakers together.

Start by covering the solid back piece of each with card stock. I did this by tracing the shaker shape on the card stock, cutting out and adhering.

Add 2 of the chipboard forms next and then add the shaker bits. I used sequins and chunky glitter.

The third chipboard form was colored with a black sparkle pen.

Adhere the clear acrylic pieces to the back of the colored forms.

Be sure to remove the protective  covering from both sides.

Glue this piece to the other part of the shaker.

Adhere the shakers to the rosettes.

Add embellishments. I had some cute Halloween die cuts in my stash

 

Finish by adding ribbons to the wands.

I hope you like my project as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Clear Scraps--Printer Tray--Ocean Adventures

Hello everyone!  Laura here today!  As summer winds down (where did it go?) it's always great to have a reminder of the fun it brought.  Whether a vacation, special occasion, or just a fun family time, I think the Clear Scraps Printer Trays are a perfect way to make a memento that you can display in your home.

To create this tray, the top frame was painted with red acrylic paint, and then set aside to dry.  Next the compass rose paper was glued to the solid back piece of the tray.  Then it was time to build the tray.  Each layer of the tray was glued on top.  Once that was done, I could start to decorate the tray.

Stickers and papers were layered into the tray.  Foam tape gave some depth and some torn cardstock added a "sandy beach" effect.  The stickers in the corner here, were added AFTER the acrylic layer to give even more dimension.

Here there are more stickers layered in, and also a white cardstock mat with a picture.  It's nice to give balance by putting the pictures in 3 different spots.  It keeps your eye moving around to all the different features when you're looking at the tray.

Adding little borders and center strips using scraps of paper/cardstock are a great way to ground or anchor each square.

You can create a little scene when you layer the stickers under the acrylic and on top.  It adds a lot of dimension and interest to the project.  A few enamel dots add a little fun touch. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Hope you enjoyed this printer tray project idea!   Make sure to stop back soon for more inspiration!

 

Supplies Used:

Clear Scraps:  Rectangle/Square Printer Tray Frame

Other:  Acrylic paint--red, foam tape, glue, Carta Bella By the Sea stickers, Photo Play Ship to Shore papers, white and red cardstock, enamel dots.

DIY Shiplap Farmhouse Pumpkin Decor

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I hope y'all are having a great day. Today I am sharing a fun simple project you can make in an hour using the Clear Scraps Wood Shiplap Shape Pumpkin Large size, along with the 4x6  'hello Fall' stencil and Maple Leaf Shaker. I have the step by step down below and the video tutorial on my youtube channel. As always the links are down below for you just click on the link it take you directly to the store/product. 

Shaker Maple Leaf                                                 hello FALL Stencil

         

 

Pumpkin Shiplap Shape Large

 

 

 

Lets begin with painting the large shiplap pumpkin. I combined Distressed Paint antique linen along with some white paint. I used the antique linen with some paste and applied it on smoothing it out as I went around the pumpkin and then cam back in with white paint on top applying it on sporadically. 

 

For the stem part I painted it using Distressed Paint walnut stain. 

 

 

Next I placed down the  4x6 inch 'hello FALL' stencil and used my Distressed Oxide ink vintage photo to ink up the words on the stencil. 

 

 

Here is what it looks like after stenciling. Looks so good, right? I love it.

 

 

Next using the Maple Leaf Shaker you will get 3 frames and the back of the shaker along with an acetate piece. 

 

 

Adhere the 2 of the frames together and place the acetate on top of the two frames you just adhered together. The other frame you can paint and you can either paint or paper the back of the maple leaf shaker. 

 

 

I painted my back shaker leaf and the frame that is placed on the top of the shaker. I used Stamperia Glamour Gel Dark Wood paint. Once it all dried I placed my shaker pieces inside and adhered the backing on. 

 

 

I found this fall bouquet in my stash with some raffia and tied it to the stem and adhered the flower on and the adhered the Maple Leaf Shaker on next to the stenciled 'hello FALL'. 

 

 

Here is the finished Farmhouse Pumpkin Decor. I tied the little bouquet around the top with Raffia and hot glued the flower. I just love how this turned out with the maple leaf shaker adhered to the hello FALL. 

 

 

I  hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. This Farmhouse Pumpkin turned out so good, and I really like it cause it was so simple and quick to create. This large shiplap pumpkin comes in a variety of sizes, plus you can find many other shiplap design shapes in the Clear Scraps Shop. The 4x6 hello FALL stencil is a must have as you can use it over and over again on cards, scrapbook layouts, tags, home decor and any other projects for Fall. The maple leaf shaker is a one of a kind, you can add it to cards and combine it with the hello FALL stencil. Head over to the shop to check all these fun and simple products to use on your craft project.

"Happy Fall Y'all" Gnome Home Decor

Hello Craft Friends!

Dana here! September is here already and it's time to start decorating our Autumn projects. Today I have a Home Decor project using Clear Scraps Medium Wood Gnome Click here and Mini Shaker Pumpkin Click here

The papers I'll be using to decorate my Wood Gnome and Shaker are from Simple Stories Cozy Days collection. 

To begin, remove all your Wood Gnome pieces from your package. Take the hands, nose and apply Cosmic Shimmer Ballet Slipper Chalk paint over the top and sides using a sponge dabber. See photo:

Take the beard Wood piece, and apply both white and light taupe acrylic paints on the surface using a sponge. See photos:

After your wood pieces have dried, I applied some Tim Holtz Distress Ink Rusty Hinge along the edges of the nose, hands and beard.

Next set your beard piece in place and marked around the beard lightly with a pencil so I know where to apply my paint for his clothing. You could add patterned paper instead of painting this area if you prefer. See photo:

On his shoes I applied some Black acrylic paint. Here's a photo:

Set these pieces aside. Take your top wood hat piece and chose a patterned paper to decorate his hat. I recommend using Beacon glue when working with wood and chipboard. Apply your glue on the backside of the gnomes hat. Trim away any excess paper using an x-acto knife. Distress any rough edges away using a Distress tool. See photo:

Glue the Gnome's hat and beard in place on your wood base and set aside for now. 

Now we can start creating our Shaker Pumpkin. I covered the bottom shaker piece with patterned paper. Trim and Distress edges as we did previously. I love using Clear Scraps Sanding Stick-large Click here

See photo:

Take your top shaker Pumpkin piece, and on the stem I applied some Tim Holtz Distress Paint- Peeled paint and on the pumpkin body I applied Tim Holtz Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade. Here's a photo:

Now glue your first 2 chipboard shaker pieces on top of your Pumpkin shaker bottom base. I recommend using Beacon glue. Its strong and your shaker will stay secured. I filled my shaker with fall colored sequins. But you can use confetti, beads, whatever you desire. Take your acrylic shaker piece and peel off the protective film from both sides before gluing in place. Then add your top shaker piece. Set aside to dry throughly before shaking! Here's some photos:

Once your shaker has dried you can glue along the bottom along with both of the gnomes hands on each side. I applied a ephemera sentiment at the top of my shaker Pumpkin. Here's a closeup!

To finish I took a white pompom and applied some Tim Holtz Distress Ink Rusty Hinge lightly over the top. Then glued my pompom on the end of his hat!

You can add a metal hanger on the backside. Now your Gnome is ready to display during the Autumn Season! Here's my finished project photo!

Hope you enjoyed my project today and will order your products and create a Gnome to add to your Autumn Display!
