Psychotic Ramblings from a Serial Scrapper AKA Craft Room Therapy

Hello! Today I am excited to share this cheerful, quick and easy card I created!  Just a little bit of stamping and embossing and gluing and you are set to go.  perfect for those last minute cards!  Start by pouncing your Perfect Crafting Pouch over paper and stamping your sentiment and adding embossing powder.  The  Perfect Crafting Pouch   helps to reduce the static so you don't have lots of stray embossing flecks! Cover chipboard with embossing ink and powder and heat emboss. Using your Best Glue Ever adhere chipboard to card base.  Add leaf and flower to card to finish.  I just love how my Best Glue Ever adheres anything from chipboard to fabric-y leaves to large paper flowers!  I hope you are inspired to get crafty with your ScraPerfect products! 

This year we all learned that teachers are very adaptable.  Teaching from home for month's with very little notice.  I created this shaker magnet for my daughter's classroom!  Whether it is at her school or in her kitchen!  This shaker was made using the brand new Apple Shaker from Clear Scraps.     Start by tracing the apple to give you a stamping background for the inside of your shaker box.   Paint your shaker as desired and let dry.  Stamp sentiment.  I chose Dare 2B Artzy Heart of a Teacher stamp set. Assemble your shaker and fill as desired.   Add magnet to the back to finish.  I hope you are inspired to get creative with your shaker boxes and check out all the new items at Clear Scraps.

Let's just say working in public health in a pandemic is time consuming! But I love Dare 2B Artzy and hope to play along in the Facebook Group.  And now.... on to the show!  I decided to create a little Christmas in July using the adorable Christmas Puppy and Coordinating Die Set.  Start by Stamping your puppy and sentiment onto watercolor paper.                                              Die Cut puppy.  Color puppy as desired.  I chose Distress markers.    Add stickles to jungle bells.
