A Happy Day Shamrock Card

 


Greetings! Chris here and today I am excited to share this Cute Gnome Happy Card I created for St Patrick's Day! 

Start by stamping your gnome from the StarBright Gnome Wintery Tree Let Your Light Shine words Art Rubber Stamps

Mask off your stamped gnome and stamp the tress from your stamp set. 

Color your image as desired.  I chose greens and oranges to match my St Patrick's day theme.

Cute Easter Home Decor

IMG_5826wmGreetings! Chris here and today I am hopping by to share this cheery Easter Bunny home decor project featuring Clear Scraps Medium Shiplap Bunny.   This bunny is so adorable and the wood shapes are so fun to play with.  The Shiplap laser cut shape Medium BUNNY is 7.75"x12.8" , and made from birch wood and Cut with laser lines for shiplap look. Theses shapes are perfect for any craft or home decor project.

So grab your Bunny, some colorful tissue paper and Modge Podge and let's get started. I had been holding on to this bright tissue paper for the "right" project. 








Cover your Bunny with Modge Podge and adhere your tissue paper. (note- you could also use a printed napkin if desired). Let your bunny dry.  Once the paper is dry, Trim off the excess tissue paper and then use your Clear Scraps Large Sanding Stick  to sand off excess paper and smooth the edges. 

Add a coordinating ribbon bow to your bunny. I found this scrap of ribbon in my stash and was so happy I saved it!

Create a Happy Easter Sign using your favorite die cuts or stickers.  My sign featured some eggs and grass and my Happy Easter greeting. I created the sign post using "scrap" chipboard from Clear Scraps Chipboard shapes. I used a piece of the cutaway border from the shapes. 

I just trimmed chipboard to make my sign post to the desired size and added some brown ink to the chipboard.

I can't wait to display this cute bunny to Celebrate Easter and Spring. I hope you enjoyed this project. For more inspiration check out Clear Scraps Social Media sites.

Wings Stamped Mixed Media Canvas

 
Greetings!   Today I am excited to share this mixed media canvas I created using some of my favorite Blank Page Muse stamps! These stamps have been my GO TO stamps for many projects! 

This Canvas Features

Blank Page Muse Butterfly Stamp ( No longer available) 

Start by stamping your images onto your canvas. I started with my diamond background stamps from the Blank Page Muse Classic Spark Rubber Stamp set. I was a little light on my inking and so my stamp didn't transfer completely.  But I wasn't worried because I was going to layer additional stamps. 




Blend distress inks over your canvas in your desired colors. 

Stamp your Blank Page Muse Vintage Mannequin Dress Form Lace Fan Butterfly Pattern Tags Rubber Stamp Set onto card stock and fussy cut.  Blend ink over your stamped image. 


the wings were made with paper clay and a mold.  Once dry I added some pigment rubs onto the wings . 


Add your cut body and wings to your stamped canvas. Finish off your canvas with a chipboard quote or saying.

Sweet Easter Card

 

IMG_5838wm

Greetings! Chris here and today I am super excited to share this sweet Easter Card I created. This vintage-y card features chipboard, lace, pearl, some pretty pink paint and a stencil. And it is no secret that I love stencils!    And the Clear Scraps 5 x 9 Grunge Brick Stencil is so fun to play with.  And you get two (2) designs in one stencil!  Bricks and lines. Don't let the word "grunge" scare you!  I used it to create this pretty elegant card! 

image from www.clearscraps.com

I started by adding some pearly pink paint over my stencil onto watercolor Paper. Any thick paper would work, I just always use watercolor paper and have it handy!

Once your paint is dry, mat your stenciled background onto coordinating card stock and adhere to your card base. Look at how fun this stenciled image looks. I chose to use the stripes vertically but you could also use them horizontally. 

IMG_5836cs

I added 2 scraps of  layered lace onto my stenciled background to add more elegance to coordinate with my paper choices. 


I then chose some pretty romantic collage style papers to cover my bunny from my Clear Scraps Bunnies Chipboard Embellishment 

IMG_5832cs

Adhere you pretty paper to you chipboard bunny. Add some pearls to "dress up" your little bunny. then adhere you bunny to you card.  Just look how adorable that bunny looks!

Finish your card with your choice of a stamped or die cut sentiment. I chose to add my die cut sentiment on to a banner and then mat the banner with coordinating cardstock.

Clear Scraps GrandKids Photo Frame

IMG_5784wm

Greetings! Today I am excited to share this adorable Desktop Photo Frame I create for my office using the Clear Scraps Grandkids Desktop Frame. I confess I did purchase this frame in advance of actually having grandchildren or photos to fill it.  Well I now have an adorable grandbaby to feature in the frame, so I finally got to create with the Clear Scraps Grandkids Desktop Frame

To recreate this frame you will need: 

Clear Scraps Grandkids Desktop Frame

Paint (black, red)

Patterned papers

Mod Podge or similar adhesive/sealant

 

I started by tracing all my letters and the heart onto patterned papers.  Remember to flip the letters  if you are tracing onto the back side of the papers. The letter G here is traced in reserved because this is the backside of my paper. 



Trace and cut out all letters and your heart.  Ink the edges of your papers and set aside. 

Gather your paints and paint the frame bases and any portions of the frame that will not be covered by your papers. Let your paint dry. 



Once dry begin adhering your patterned papers to your frame. Lay out your letters first so your can determine which letters will overlapp the other letters. 

IMG_5751

Continue adding all your letters.

To allow me to change out my photos as my grandbaby grows, I added thin magnets to the frame and the heart. 

Now I just have to lift up my heart and switch out the photo! Easy as pie! I can't wait to show off my Clear Scraps Grandkids Desktop Frame  in my office! 

 I hope you enjoyed this project. For more inspiration check out Clear Scraps Social Media sites.
