Clear Scraps--Shiplap Shapes--Bee Thankful Home Decor

Hi there everyone!!  Laura here today to share some project inspiration for fall! 

Do you love fall?  The holidays and seasonal changes are so amazing!  The color palette for fall lends itself to some fun home decor projects too!  This project came together so easily thanks to the Clear Scraps House Shiplap Shape Small and Mini Shaker Beehive.

There are a lot of options for bases in the Clear Scraps Store.  One that has a lot of options are the Shiplap Shapes.  They come in different sizes as well.  You can find all the choices in the store HERE.   You can do a lot with these too.  You can cover them with paper, ink, paint, spray, stencil.  I chose to paint the base for this project because I wanted a clean background to show off the adorable Mini Shaker Beehive!

Super simple--just choose a paint color that coordinates to your papers/embellishments, and use a foam brush to paint.  To add a little texture, you can brush with ink or another color of paint (like I did here).  It makes it look like there is a cool distressed wood grain.  After it dried I matted a band of plaid cardstock onto a solid color.  It is a great way to center and "pop" the mini shaker that will be added.

To create the mini shaker, the top frame was painted with gold, red and black acrylic paint.  While it dried, the solid back piece was traced onto the patterned paper, fussy cut out and glued down.  The layers of the frame were glued down on top of the back--then before the acrylic layer was glued on I added some fall color sequins.  Then the acrylic and frame were glued down, and a few letters and stickers added.  The beehive shaker was glued to the house piece and project complete!  This would be so cute at place settings for a fall get-together!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Clear Scraps Mini Shakers--Patriotic Pride

Hi there everyone!!  Laura here with you today to share a patriotic project for the upcoming 4th of July holiday!

Do you love creating home decor for the holidays as much as I do?  It's so easy to do when you have the right "tools"!  The Clear Scraps DIY Pallet Shapes are perfect for this!  I started with the Circle Medium Pallet Shape and built from there!  It's as simple as tracing the shape onto the patterned paper of your choice, cut it out, and glue it down for the base.  I'm always a fan of a more "simple" background, so I choose the papers that are basics, like a plaid, etc.  After all the pieces are cut out and glued down, it's time for the embellishing!

First up is the star embellishment.  This was created using the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Star.  The solid back piece is traced onto patterned paper and then cut out and glued onto the back piece.  Then the other layers are glued on top.   Before the acrylic layer (remember to pull off the protective coating), I added the Clear Scraps Winter Sequin Mix.  It's winter, but has the perfect red, white and blue colors for this type of project!  After all the layers were glued down, I glued on the star and started the second shaker.

The cute little hat can be used for so many different holidays or occasions (wedding, St. Patricks, etc) but it also makes a great patriotic hat!  It was created just as the star.  After it was glued and foam taped on, I started layering the stickers around it, a few sentiments, and it was done.  Such a sweet, simple project that I can now use as a great home decor piece!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a happy, safe, fun weekend!

 

Supplies Used:

Clear Scraps:  Circle Medium DIY Pallet Shape, Mini Shaker--Star, Top Hat, Winter Sequins.

Sweet Rush DIY Wood Box and Divider Cards

Hello Craft Friends!

Dana here! I'm back to share my last project for the month of June. Didn't this go by fast? I'm sure many of you, have family vacations planned. These Clear Scraps DIY Wood Boxes and Divider Cards are a great place to store your vacation photos! See all the newest products including the different size boxes and Divider Cards Click here

For my project today, I'll be using Clear Scraps Regular DIY Wood box (measuring 4.75 x 6 inches) Click here

The Divider Cards I chose are Rounded Tab Click here Scallop Chip Click here Regular Chip Click here and Angle Chip Click here

The papers I'm using are from Vicki Boutin "Sweet Rush" collection. 

To begin remove all your wood box pieces from your package. You can paint, ink, or add patterned papers to your outside and inside of your box. I chose to cover all wood pieces including the inside bottom of my box using patterned papers. Using my xaco knife, I trimmed around my curved edge on both wood side pieces.

Here are the measurements I used when cutting my papers.

Long sides: 1 &3/4 x 5 & 7/8 inches

Short sides: 1 & 3/4 x 4 &1/4 inches

Bottom inside box: 4 &1/4 x 6 inches

Then using my Distress tool, I smoothed any rough edges. Then added Distress Ink along the top edge. 

After you have all your base papers glued in place, I like to set them out on my table in order before assembling. Make sure you slide the two poles into the holes on the end pieces, and set inside your box. 

I glue my front, back, and side box pieces together first, then add glue to inside end pieces (ones with holes/poles) and slide in place on each end. I highly recommend using Beacon glue when gluing your box together. Here's how your box should look once assembled. 

You can set your box aside to dry throughly. Now we can start decorating our Divider Cards. I painted a total of 4 cards along each bottom edge, both the front and back sides,using Bright Yellow, Pink, Light Green and Orange acrylic paints. Let dry. 

Now we are ready to decorate our Divider Cards! I like to cover my chipboard bases with a variety of patterned papers. I also use stickers, washi tape, ephemera or any other embellishments, depending on what theme or project I'm creating. 

Card 1 Scallop Chip (Front) : I covered the base with colored stripes paper. I cut my papers to measure 4x 2&3/4. Using foam dots, I adhered my sticker sunglasses and sentiment. I added a sunshine ephemera piece behind the clouds. Here's a photo!

Backside of Card 1: I made a pocket using one of the Journaling cards labels. I glued a border camera strip along the bottom edge. I added acouple sentiment stickers on the front of my pocket. I mounted my photo on another journal card, I fussy cut a flower from one of the papers, cut a small teal paper and added a camera sticker and sentiment at the top. Then tucked all 3 pieces inside my pocket. Here's acouple photos!

Card 2 Front: I cut out a butterfly Journaling card and scored at 2" and 4", folded on the lines and held it closed with a butterfly paperclip. Glue onto your Divider card base. I added some sticker hearts/dot and sentiment along the bottom edge. 

Backside of Card 2: I adhered a photo, sticker sentiments and puffy heart stickers. Here are some closeups!

Card 3: I adhered a Agenda Journaling card to the front and added some sticker phases and a sticker at the top.

Card 3 backside: I glued this cute soda pop paper and added foam dots on the back of the matching soda pop sticker and glued over the matching image on my card. Here's some photos!

Card 4 Front: I added a photo, puffy stickers and sentiment flag.

Card 4 backside: Palm trees Journaling card and with foam dots added a small palm tree sticker and sentiment at the bottom. Here's acouple more photos!

I'll be adding more cards to my Wood box in future posts. Here's how my finished box turned out!

I hope you enjoyed my project today! Thank you for stopping by the Clear Scraps blog! Hope you will create some boxes and Divider Cards for yourself. Visit the Clear Scraps website Click here for all your crafty needs. 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

USA Gnome Display

There is something about an Americana display that feels like Summer.  Do you agree?  Hi, it's Maureen with you today from the design team, and I have to share that I just love patriotic decor.  And gnomes.  And gnomes dressed in patriotic decor.  Ha!

I love these gnomes and I've made several - I'm starting to gather quite a collection!  This one is perfect for those Summer events, all decked out in red, white and blue.  He is the Medium #1 Gnome Wood Decor but I think I will call him Uncle Sammy.  Tee hee!

These gnomes are perfect for painting or paper, and this time I chose to cover mine in various patriotic themed papers.  I'm starting by tracing all the pieces with a pencil on the coordinating papers:  striped for the hat, blue for the pants, white for the beard and peach for the nose and hands.

I glue all these pieces on with a regular paper glue; however, you can also decoupage these and it works great!  An awesome idea if you are putting this outdoors.

Next, I dust the edges with a sponge and some ink for some dimension.  I also cut out red ovals to put on for his shoes instead of trying to trace it.

For the hat, I added a blue card stock stripe and trimmed the edges off.  Then, I used a star die cut with some white paper and added that to the trim.

To glue the pieces together, I like to use a wood glue.  This time I tried a hot glue and it also works well, but consider whether your project will be inside or not.  Clamp these together if needed, when using a wood glue and make sure it drys thoroughly.

Now it's time to give Uncle Sammy an item to hold - so I've chosen the Popsicle Mini Shaker and the Winter Sequins.  To assemble, I glued on white paper to the base chipboard piece, then stacked the 2 bottom layers on top.  Next, I filled the item with the sequins and glued on the acrylic cover.  Make sure to remove the protective sheet on both sides.

The final layer is glued on top and then I went over it with some red sparkle glitter.  Let this dry really well before gluing it to the gnome.

I put his hand under the shaker and then also glued on some fun cupcake toothpicks that I had that looked like sparklers, and glued his hand on top.

This project is complete and Uncle Sammy is ready to greet my visitors!  This will be a great decor item all Summer (and again for Veteran's Day).  Where would you put your gnome decor?

Thanks for visiting the blog today and don't forget to check out the Clear Scraps Summer decor this month.  Additional supplies needed are below.  Cheers!

Maureen

Additional supplies:  card stock in blue, white, peach and red; red striped paper; star shapes or star die cut; Distress inks for edges in black; party toothpicks; wood glue or hot glue

Guest Designer Amberly Hoffman-This Is Us Wood Frame

 

Hello everyone, guest designer Amberly here with a fun mixed project using the This Is Us Wood Desktop Frame, yet I chose not to use the stand.

I am using a craft round found at a local craft store, you can use an embroidery hoop. I left mine natural in color. Using a beautiful line from Simple Stories, I used elements to layer and create a stage for the frame.

 

I painted the Clear Scraps “This is Us” frame a soft pink using acrylic paint. I used pop dots and left the frame top open to slide a picture easily in and out (I love the ability to

change my photos). I added a chipboard frame from the same paper line overtop and then attached it all to my project. Using ribbon to give the project an overall boho chic look or even a dream catcher look. 

Clear Scraps products are so versatile to use for mixed media projects! 

 

Enjoy craft time,

 

Amberly

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guest Designer Jennifer Kirks-Family Wood Home Decor Project

 

Hi all, it’s Jennifer Kirks. I wanted to share another project that I did using the 3D Frameables Word N Shape Heart  and   Family Wood Pieces.    
First I added Gesso to all wood pieces.
Next, brushed brown acrylic
paint over pieces. Then I added misc flowers to the heart and base. I then applied some crackle paste to the large wood block in a few corners to give it texture. Finally, I glued the heart and “family” to the wood block.

Paper flowers

Beehive Shiplap Shape

Hello friends! It's Jennifer here on the blog today to share one of the brand new releases from Clear Scraps!  I love the Shiplap Shapes and the Beehive Shiplap Shape comes in small, medium, and large!  This is so cute for home decor especially for spring or summer time! 

I began by using yellow acrylic paint thinned out with some water.  I wanted my yellow to be a little more muted.  I applied my paint to the top and bottom of my Beehive Medium Shiplap Shape. 

I set my Shiplap Shape aside to dry while working on my Mini Shaker Shape!  The Bee Mini Shaker is the perfect accent to the Beehive!  I started by covering the chipboard base with patterned paper using my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive. I trimmed away excess paper with scissors and followed up with my x-acto knife and sanding tool.  

Next, I painted the top chipboard frame and the edges of the two inside frames with black acrylic paint. 

Once I adhered my two inside chipboard frames, I was ready to add some coordinating sequins.  Again using my Beacon Adhesive,  I adhered the acrylic overlay.  I used clips to secure my Mini Shaker while drying.  

Using the 4x6 Sunrise Stencil and Crackle Paste, I used a spatula to apply the paste across the top of my Shiplap Shape.  

Here is a close up of the end result!  It doesn't have to be perfect and you can apply your paste as heavy or light as you prefer.  I used a circle punch to add a spot of orange in the center of my "sun". 

 

I  adhered my Bee Mini Shaker Shape to the Shiplap using my Beacon Adhesive! 

I  then added some coordinating tags and accents next to my photo!

Summer Beach Ball Wreath Decor

Summer is just about here, and for many of us, it has us dreaming of the beach or pool!  Welcome to the Clear Scraps blog today - my name is Maureen and I have a fun project to decorate your door just in time for the start of Summer.  It's an assortment of decorations you can use to decorate a door wreath!

My main focal point is centered around a beach ball I painted on the 6" Small Shiplap Circle.  What a fun weekend project this was!  I decided to go with bright colors that I knew would match the ribbon in my wreath.  Start by base-coating your circle in a white paint.

Next, I'm taking a pencil and tracing the shape of a circle in the corner to be the end of the beach ball, and then drawing lines to the edges to look like the colorful sections of the ball.  I just followed a pattern on Pinterest for this.

I chose some colorful paints to paint each of these sections in, and they match my ribbon choices too.  Once dry, do a second coat as needed.  While I was painting, I also picked out the Hello XL Wood Sentiment to paint in a green paint, and the flip flops from the Word n Shape Summer Flip Flops set, done in a bright pink.

Let this dry completely, and then trace the lines of your beach ball with a black permanent marker.  This is a good cheat for a black painted line!

After that, I'm using a sponge applicator in a circle shape to add the white paint dots.  I'm also doing this technique for the flip-flops too.  With the flip-flops, I've glued on some ribbon as the straps, and as they dried I held them together with some clothespins.

Details that I added to the wood items are as follows:  a black marker line around the white paint dots with a couple extra dot details, a line of black marker on the "hello" sentiment, and a white line on the sentiment also.  When this is dry, make sure to spray it with a clear finish to protect it outside.

To attach these items to my wreath, I glued a ribbon on the back of each wood piece, then tied it to my wreath.  You also could use hot glue and adhere directly to the ribbon, but in my case I could change them out later if they start to fade.

This was a really fun change of pace for me!  I hope you also enjoyed the project.  To learn how to do the wreath, I recommend searching for ribbon wreaths on Pinterest or YouTube.  Enjoy and make a splash this Summer, everyone!

Maureen

Supplies:  wreath shape and ribbons (see Pinterest for ideas and directions), acrylic paints in assorted colors, Sharpie black marker, matte finish spray, sandpaper as needed, small ribbon and hot glue to attach

 

Clear Scraps--Changeable Frame--Summer Paradise

Hi there everyone!  Laura here with you today to get you started on those summer projects!  Memorial Day is right around the corner, and the picnics, vacations, pool time and all kinds of fun in the sun is coming our way!  The Clear Scraps Changeable Frames are a great way to share those summer memories with home decor!This project starts with the Base with Scallop Frame in the 3D Changeables collection from Clear Scraps.  There are several fun options for the bases and you can choose your fave.  You can find them in the Clear Scraps store HERE.  One of the best part of this collection is the ability to mix and match the bases/frames and the word and shape that you'd like!

They are super easy to put together too!  You can mix it up by using paint, ink, stain, pretty paper, time to get creative!

Here I used patterned paper for the bottom layer on the base, just trace, cut out and glue down.  The same paper was used to carry that pattern thru to the background in the frame.  I kept the top layer of the base with just acrylic paint, but I brushed a bit of contrasting paint around the edge.  I did this around the paper layer as well.  It gives it a nice finished look.

The Clear Scraps coordinating Word n Shape Summer Flip Flops was used and "summer" painted with yellow acrylic paint, and the flip flops with blue brushed with green (the reverse of the base).  A couple of flower add a little fun texture and color to the flip flops.

The frame was painted green as well, and then it was embellished with some fun summer themed stickers and cut outs.  The summer square and the stickers in the lower right corner were all popped up with foam tape.  Always fun to give a project a little more dimension!  It's all ready for a favorite picture from our vacay!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Clear Scraps:  Base with Scallop Frame, Word n Shape Summer Flip Flops

Friendship 3D Frameable Project

Summer is here and it's getting me in the mood to work with bright yellows and other bold colors, just like that warm sunshine!  Hello everyone, it's Maureen with you today.  Have you tried out any projects yet with the 3D Frameables by Clear Scraps?  These kits are so easy and make an amazing gift that you can create yourself with little effort!  Plus, it's easy on your wallet too!

I had this photo of my college best friends just waiting to get added to a frame, so I decided to work with the Base with Square Frame kit and the Word N Shape Friends and Flower add ons.  I really wanted to work with a paper kit that I've had laying around for this project, so I've also chosen a PhotoPlay paper kit with it's bold black and yellow tones.

My first step is to trace out the papers I wanted for the base, and then use a sharp blade to cut out the strips in the middle.  These are glued to the top.  You can also use decoupage! I've done the same with the frame and glued that on to the front.

Next, I've painted the stem of the flower green, and the back of the frame black, so there is a finished look to the project.  For the top of the flower, I've layered 3 levels of a die cut flower in a yellow paper from the paper set I chose.  These are given dimension by rolling them with an embossing tool in the middle to allow the leaves to stick out a bit.  I finish it off with some black dots using a marker.

For the phrase "friends" I've painted it on both sides in a black acrylic paint.  Then, after it was dry, I covered it in white paint dots.  I did this using an embossing tool also - these are handy tools to have in your craft room!

My final touches are to add a couple of the sticker embellishments from the set, such as a cute little bee and the phrase on the "friends" sentiment.  I believe this is ready for gifting to one of my besties!

What types of homemade gifts do you make?  I invite you to check out the ideas we have on our Clear Scraps Pinterest Inspiration board too!  Supplies used are below.  Thank you for joining me today!

Woof 3D Frameable Home Decor

Hello Craft Friends!

I'm Dana and I'm here to share another May project! Are you a pet owner? We got a new puppy last summer. We adore her and treat her like one of the family. She truly spoiled rotten! Lol

So today's project features one of the cute Clear Scraps 3D Frameables! Clear Scraps has a variety of different 3D Frameables to chose from. Click here I'm using the Word and Shape "Woof/Bone" Click here and matched it up with the Base and Frame Deco! Click here

The papers I chose to use are from Simple Stories "Pet Shoppe" Dog collection. 

To begin, I took my Woof words and some acrylic paint Red, Orange,Green and yellow. I painted each color on the letters and paws. Set aside to dry. I painted the Bone shape using acrylic white paint.

Next I removed both of the bases and chose 2 coordinating papers from the paper pack. (You could paint your wood bases if you choose)I traced around each base, cut out and glued my paper to each of the wood bases. I recommend using Beacon glue since it has a strong bond and works well with wood. Taking an xaco knife, I trimmed away the excess paper from my wood bases including the 3 slots on each frame base. Then taking a Distress tool or sanding tool, I smoothed any rough edges. I applied some Distress Ink Rusty Hinge along the edges. Then glue your bases together making sure your slots line up perfectly. Set this aside to dry. 

Now take your top frame piece, and trace, glue, trim and Distress along the edges as we did previously with our wood bases, and inside section of your frame. 

Next I chose a photo trimmed to fit and adhered to the backside of my frame. Then glue your top frame to the frame base making sure to line up the edges evenly. The bottom will slide into the slot on your wood base. 

Now you can add any embellishments like stickers and ephemera pieces to decorate around your frame. I adhered some ephemera doggie paws to my bone. My Woof words, I glued a small heart on top of the "F"  you can add as many embellishments as you want. I slipped a small ring into the hole of my Ephemera Bone embellishment and glued at the top of my frame!

Here's a closeup!

I think these are so much fun to create! I hope I have inspired you to make your own 3D Frameables project and showcase your favorite furry pet!

Clear Scraps--Mini Shaker--Family Moments

Hi everyone!  Laura here with you today sharing a cute home decor project that is a simple way to display a favorite family memory.

The base of this project is the Clear Scraps Mason Jar Medium DIY Pallet Shape.  This is a great shape for any project you might choose.  There are a lot of shapes to choose from in the Clear Scraps store as well.  You can find them HERE.  I used some pretty patterned paper to cover it.  Next, I used gray paint to create a lid area at the top, and I brushed this with a bit of black paint to create some shading. 

I tied a bow around the top to add a little extra something.  A couple of journal boxes, one with a nice quote, and one as a background for my picture were matted on black cardstock.   This was just the perfect touch to fill the space above the Clear Scraps Family Mini Shaker. 

The top frame was painted with white acrylic paint.  The back of the shaker was traced out onto the polka dot patterned paper, cut out, then glued down on the back layer.  Then each frame layer was glued down until the acrylic layer.  Before that I added some of the Clear Scraps Spring Sequins Shaker Filler, then peeled off the protective coating off each side of the acrylic, and lastly the top painted frame piece.  Add one of your favorite pictures of a  special family moment, and it's a great little home decor piece that you can display anytime.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Stop back soon to see more fun projects ideas and inspiration!

Guest Designer Jennifer Kirks-Beach Themed Wood Frame

Hi!  This is Jennifer and I'm sharing my first project for Clear Scraps using the 3D Frameables Square Frame with Base!

I painted the base and frame with white gesso. Then I glued the frame together on the sides and bottom (leave top open to insert picture). 

 

I then cut a piece of cheese cloth and adhered it to the base with a gel medium.

I used some textured paper to give the impression of a net and used the gel medium to adhere around the base of the frame.

 

I grabbed some sea glass, beads, sand and small shells by Mudd puddles along with some larger shells and starfish I had and adhered them to the base.

I added crackle paste around the edge of the frame and added more shells, sand and sea glass.  

Thanks for looking! You can find all of the 3D Frameables by clicking HERE! Have a great day!
