Clear Scraps: Star Chipboard Embellishments Layout

Hello and happy Sunday!   I know its been forever since I've blogged.  I can't seem to keep up with anything lately...honestly, things have been kind of rough so anything extra is getting pushed to the wayside.  Anyway, I wanted to share a fun layout I did for Clear Scraps using the new Star Chipboard Embellishments.  

I started with one of the XL Deco Shapes and colored the outside edges in Mermaid with Ranger Alcohol Ink.  Using a solvent based ink/medium is your best bet because the acrylic is a non-porous surface.  The alcohol ink won't run or smear and "adheres" to the acrylic quickly. 

Here you can see a close up of the alcohol ink on the acrylic! 

I colored my chipboard pieces using Distress Paint in Cracked Pistachio and set them aside to dry.  

For my layout, I used Shimelle's new collection Little by Little! I knew I wanted to get my hangs on it when I saw it at the show in January!  

The stars make great accents on my page along with the patterns papers and extra embellishments!  

Thanks for stopping by!  Check out all of Clear Scraps fun products by visiting their online shop! Have a great night!

Clear Scraps Mixable Edgy Album: Let's Go On An Adventure

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a mini I did a few months ago for Clear Scraps!  After layouts, mini album are my favorite to create!  I used the Mixable Edgy Album along with Shimelle's Starshine collection.  

Each page alternates from acrylic to chipboard cascading into different sizes!  This gives you lots of opportunity to layer your embellishments!  I tend to leave my acrylic pages "bare" but paint my chipboard...I just like the way the clear acrylic looks.  

I documented our weekend trip to Chicago for the NFL draft!  We had a lot of fun hanging out with our friends in Grant Park as well as visiting some local hangouts. 

I usually like to include an extra page or two by using envelopes or tags! Here, I used an older Fancy Pants striped envelope I've had in my stash forever.  I layered a Crate Paper chipboard frame with patterned paper as well as an epoxy clip.  

Thanks for looking! Be sure to check out the Clear Scraps shop to see the variety of mini albums!  Have a great day!

The Cut Shoppe: Boys Rule

Today on The Cut Shoppe blog, I have a layout using the new Boys Rule cut file set! This is one of my favorites so far! I love the fun shapes and titles..how cute are the arrows?   I always appreciate a fun boy collection and the stars pair well with Shimelle's new Starshine collection.

Using white cardstock for my outline, I used the "Boys Rule" title from the set.  I filled in the letters with an orange/white chevron print from Starshine.   

I used the star/circle shapes as well as the nested stars in different sizes and prints to layer under my title and photo.  I accented with chipboard accents from Starshine as well as epoxy shapes from Evalicious.  

Here, I used die cuts and stickers from Starshine as well as a cute Metal Clip.  

Thank you for stopping by! Check out the Etsy shop for this cut file set plus much more!
Have a great day!
