Clear Scraps Back to School

As the kids get into the swing of their first week back at school, I have a tutorial on the  Clear Scraps blog featuring both a card and layout. 

First up is the Regular Send It Clear Card and Small Star Clear Shape. I embossed and used alcohol ink on both right and left flaps of the card. 

 

Next, I used a Faber Castell Gelato in Banana on the edges of the flaps. I applied the color directly to the edges and then used my finger to rub it in.

 

 

For the Star Clear Shape, I inked with Ranger Alcohol ink in Butterscotch, then added Viva Pearl in Silver around the edges.  I then added paper and embellishments to the front....

 

 

.....as well as the inside of the card. 

 

Next, for my layout, I used a Clear Scraps 12x12 Acrylic Sheet and the Memories Clear Expression Word Title. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I used the 6 inch Numbers Mascil and Ranger Alcohol ink in Slate for the upper left corner of my page. The Mascils are so fun to work with!

Please visit the Clear Scraps blog to see more photos of my tutorial! Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

 

 



Valentine Pillow Box from SRM Stickers

I've been loving many of the Valentine collections this year and have been itching to work with them!  Up on the Practical Scrappers blog I have a cute little project I did with the Large SRM Sticker pillowbox.  Ever since seeing them at The Scrapbooking Studio where I work, as well as ideas from the SRM website, I wanted to make one.

First, I embossed the pillow box with the Sizzix Textured Impression Chevron Folder.  That is one of the great things about the pillow boxes is that you can emboss them!  

Then, I added paper and embellishments from the Pink Paislee collection Secret Crush (one of my favorites!) I love the cut out photo frames!  

Also for the front, I wrapped the pillow box with pink and white bakers twine from We R Memory Keepers. I made the rosette from my Tim Holtz Rosette die and added one of the cute tickets that come in the Paper Goods pack.

Hope this inspires you to do some cute projects for Valentine's Day!  

My friend, Malika, and I are on our way to CHA this weekend! Can't wait to post all of the highlights and fun things! If you will be at the show, be sure to stop by the Clear Scraps Booth as I will be doing make and takes on Sunday and Monday!
