Clear Scraps: Fall Clipboard

Yesterday, I had a fun fall themed home decor project up on the Clear Scraps blog!  The acrylic clipboards are one of my favorite products released this past year!  Using the Large Regular Portrait Clipboard,  I created a fall wall hanging with Simple Stories' Pumpkin Spice!  

I also added the new Chipboard Feathers! I colored them using three different spray inks blotting with a paper towel in between colors!  I love how they turned out! I used one of the Pumpkin Spice self adhesive Bradz and bakers twine from Whisker Graphics! 

My sentiment is a Silhouette cut file called "Every Year I Fall For You Phrase" by Kolette Hall (#93417).   I backed each line with different patterned papers from Pumpkin Spice. 

Showing some of the chipboard buttons and another Bradz from Simple Stories!

Pumpkin Spice also includes coordinating enamel dots as well!  

Thanks for stopping by! Check out the Clear Scraps shop to see all of the new chipboard shapes and frames!  Have a great night!

Pink Paislee's Bella Rouge: You're Pretty Much My Favorite....

 

 

Hello! Continuing with some love themed projects, I am sharing an altered canvas I created using Pink Paislee's Bella Rouge collection and a cute cut file from Silhouette designed by Lori Whitlock (file #54870).

 

 

 

Love these rosette flowers that come with the collection!! I added a couple along with some of the chipboard accents. 

 

 

I used some modeling paste and Teresa Collins Designs' heart stencil to add some dimension to my canvas.

 

I used some gold foil paper to back the word "favorite", as well as the small heart at the end of the saying.

 

Have a great day!

For my projects, I used My Mind's Eye's Mischievous collection. I've definitely been hoarding it since it was debuted in the summer of 2011.  I scrapped a photo of my husband and I from a costume party in 2004!

 

 

I created a banner using two of my hand punches as well as chipboard pieces and coordinating brads.

 

I had some papers and embellishments left over so I decorated this mason jar to fill with Halloween goodies as teacher gifts!    I used the 3d Straight Edge Flower cut file by Jamie Cripps ( #44283)  from the Silhouette shop as my center and added a cute brad and bakers twine from Whisker Graphics. 

 

Thanks for hopping along with us!! Up next is Cheryl's blog! Have a great day!

 



Teresa Collins Designs: Candy Cane Lane Burlap Canvas

Hello everyone...today I'm up on the Teresa Collins Design Team Blog with an altered burlap canvas I created using the Candy Cane Lane collection.  I love the traditional red and greens in this line, as well as how Teresa adds gray and black! 

 

I first used Teresa's Basically Essential Modeling Paste and the 12x12 Scallop Stencil to create a background on my canvas. After allowing it to dry, I was ready to start embellishing!

 

 

I used gold glitter spray paint to color one of the Wooden Ornaments. I then layered pieces from the Ephemera Pack underneath, as well as hand punched circles from the different patterned papers. 

Along with the Ephemera pieces, I added Chipboard Buttons and Enamel Dots from Candy Cane Lane. 

 

Do you spy the snowflake enamel shape? Love these! 

 

My title is cut from gold foil paper (I found it at Michaels) and my Silhouette Machine (cut file  #52200). 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  Be sure to check out this and the rest of Teresa's releases by clicking here! What is your favorite?? For me, its tough to choose! 

Have a good day!

 

 



Sketch N Scrap Holiday Blog Hop + giveaway!

Happy Halloween!! Since this is my favorite holiday, I was so happy to be able to post today for the Sketch N Scrap Holiday Blog Hop!

 

I created this frame to hold ATC-size cards I decorated using American Crafts' Halloween line (which I guess you can only find at Target). I had seen other scrappy friends post about it and I almost didn't buy it. But, I couldn't resist.  :) 

 

 

 

 

I used my Tim Holtz ATC die with the 6x6 paper pad and my Vagabond.  I love the matching mini clothes pins too!  For this card, I cut strips of paper and adhered them on a diagonal. The top layer is one of the fun coordinating washi tapes! I stitched through each layer  and added a metal clip from the Tim Holtz Idealogy line. 

 

 

I got out my old Halloween stamps for this project! This chandelier is from clear stamp set from Unity Stamp Company. I heat embossed with Ranger Super Fine Embossing Powder in Black, then added some of the coordinating washi tape and sequins. I even had some left over enamel dots from the Teresa Collins Designs' Masquerade collection.  The stamped sentiment "trick or treat" is from an even older stamp set from Pink Paislee. (I'm a clear stamp hoarder!)

 

This card is pretty simple. I used vellum with a Sizzix Chevron Embossing Folder and added washi tape, American Crafts gold glitter tape, and one of the coordinating paper rosettes. Love the gold glitter! 

 

Here, I made a vellum overlay and added sequins inside. On the bottom corner is another paper rosette and a decorative pin from Maya Road.

 

I used my 6 inch Chicken Wire Mascil from Clear Scraps and Heidi Swapp's Color Shine in Silver for this card.  I then added a stamped sentiment from Pink Paislee and a photo frame from Crate Paper. I then finished with more enamel dots and some washi tape. The flair is from {a flair for buttons}.

 

On this card, I used one of Heidi Swapp's color resist banners with more of the Silver Color Shine and stitched it across the top of the card. My little skull is from Making Memories...I added enamel dots for his eyes and some old school Making Memories letters to spell the "boo". The arrow is from Studio Calico.

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a safe and fun day if you celebrate Halloween! It's supposed to rain here all day so I think I may have some disappointed kiddos! 

Tell me your favorite Halloween candy to be entered to win a 6x6 pad of Teresa Collins Designs' new Memorabilia!  I will pick a winner when I return from my missions trip on the 8th! 

 

 

Also, check out the talented Brandi's blog to keep hopping with us! 

 

 

 



Clear Scraps Halloween Banner

Hello and happy Monday! Halloween is just a few short days away! Today I'm up on the

Clear Scraps blog with a fun Halloween banner I created with the Large Banner and My Mind's Eye's Happy Haunting.

 

 

 

 

I created this skull using my Tim Holtz Mini Skull and Bat die with a sheet of 12x12 Acrylic (cut down to fit through my Vagabond).  I added Glimmer Glam in Chandelier from Tattered Angels to give it some shimmer. 

 

And here is the bat:  I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze. 

I cut a large doily from patterned paper from my Silhouette and layered it under a misted doily.  I then created a paper rosette with a Halloween brad in the middle.  I then added a Maya Road bingo piece and decorative pin.  

 

On this pennant, I used the 3 and 1 from the Acrylic Alphabet and Numbers Set. I colored them with alcohol ink in Rust. Instead of using a foam applicator, I actually dripped it directly onto the acrylic. 

 

 

Thanks for reading today....be sure to check out the Clear Scraps store to check out these banners and lots more!  Have a great day!

 



Fall Decor with Clear Scraps

Hello friends! Today I am up on the Clear Scraps blog with two fun fall themed home décor projects!   

 

First, is the 8x8 Bookstand that I used to showcase a recent photo of my kids and their friends at the local pumpkin farm (thanks Michelle for the pic!). I also used the 6 Inch Chickenwire Mascil on my background with Dylusions in Lemon Zest. 

 

 

Here,  I used Heidi Swapp's color resist pennants here with her Color Shine in Silver. 

 

 

One of the layered stickers and cute brads from Crate Paper's Acorn Avenue. 

 

Next, I created a cute fall door hanger with a left over piece from the Large Pennant set.  I layered strips of the patterned paper and stitched through with my sewing machine before adhering to the pennant. 

 

 

I cut the maple leaves from my Silhouette:  the larger leaf I used the Chicken Wire mascil again with Dylusions in White Linen.  The smaller I sprayed with Tattered Angels in Candy Corn.

 

 

I also cut the "fall" from my Silhouette. To help it stand out, I lightly sprayed it with Candy Corn.

 

I then added a couple of the coordinating buttons and a decorative pin from Maya Road.  I colored the seam binding with Distress Stain before tying to the pennant. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today...be sure to check out the Clear Scraps shop for these products and lots more! Have a great Friday!

 

Echo Park's A Beautiful Life canvas + card

Hello everyone! I'm back to share some more projects done with Echo Park's A Beautiful Life collection.  I created these for The Scrapbooking Studio design team. 

 

First up is a canvas I made using the papers, as well as chipboard words and a doily from Gina's Lasercut Designs.  This is one of my all time favorite photos of my daughter. It was taken last Labor Day weekend up on Michigan.  This butterfly stayed on her hand for at least 20 minutes...amazing!

 

 

 

I applied a light coat of Art Anthology Sorbet in Vegas Gold to the letters.

 

Here, I used on of Little Yellow Bicycle's cork butterfly embellishments.

 

 

Next up is my card!  I stitched patterned papers to the front of my cardstock...

 

....then I created a flower out of Maya Road cream tulle trim.  In the center, I added another cork butterfly.  I used one of the cardstock stickers and placed it in the center, then added Glossy Accents.

The decorative pins are from Jillibean Soup!

 

 

 

Close up of a few of the cardstock stickers I added to the bottom. I also used Glossy Accents on these, as well!

 

Thanks for reading! I will be back this week with more projects! Have a great day!
