HOME Themed Memory Dex Cards for Clear Scraps

   Hello, my friends!

It's time for a new project for Clear Scraps!
Today I'm sharing three more memory-dex cards, this time with a HOME theme!

Here are the three cards I made: 

I used the House Chip Dividers:

I used  a 6 x 6 paper pad from my stash to cover each card.
I adhered the paper, trimmed it out, and inked the edges.

Here's a closer look at each one:

To this card I added a stamped Scripture verse. 
I also added an inked chipboard heart that came from the
Embellishments Chipboard Punchout Coffee.

To this card I added the inked HOME from the
Embellishments Chipboard Punchout HOME.
I also stamped "Blessed" on each side of the "HOME".

To this card I added a stamped "Give Thanks",
as well as the fishtail banner that continues the verse.

These are such a fun size to work with,
and there is such a great variety of shapes in the shop.
You'll find them all HERE.

Decorated Cell Phone Stand for Clear Scraps

   Hello, my friends!

It's time for a new project for Clear Scraps!
This time I have decorated one of the great wood cell phone stands. 
There is a wonderful selection in the shop to choose from;
you'll find them all HERE.

Here is the one I decorated:

Here's what I used:

I began by spraying the two pieces of the stand with the 
Perfect Pearls Mist in Cappuccino color. 
I set it aside to dry, and it revealed a lovely pearly sparkle.
Next, I scribbled some pewter colored Distress Crayon onto my mat.
I spritzed it with water, and mixed it together. 
I then used a makeup sponge to pick up the color,
and pounce it throught the Clear Scraps 6" Heart Clusters Stencil.
I moved the stencil around to position the hearts where I wanted them.

I even stenciled a heart on the back piece:

To finish it all off, I used my finger, and rubbed more of the crayon around all the edges.

It's hard to pick it up in the photo but this stand has a beautiful sparkle to it.

With the assortment of stencils and cell phone stands in the shop;
the creative possibilities are endless!

August Fun Foiled Cards for Crafty Critta

  Hello, my friends! 

It's time for another foiled project using Crafty Critta products!
I have three more cards to share with you today!
The products used are linked beneath each card.
I also used the YOUR BEST MATE MACHINE for all the foiling.

Foil Art -T0161- Doodles
Toner Sheet - TM0038
Toner Foil - F0083 - Matte Silver 

I peeled the foiling away a little too soon on this one...before it had cooled.
You can see it in this bottom right corner. 
I don't mind the effect at all. It gives it a bit of a grungy look.

Foil Art - TM0023 - Small Sentiments
Toner Foil - F0046 - Hearts Pink

I love this beautiful pink foil!
Here I punched a circle out of the card front. I also punched out the foiled sentiment.
I adhered the sentiment into the larger circle with foam tape.

Foil Art - T0161 - Doodles
Toner Foil - F0083 - Matte Silver

This newer matte silver foil is STUNNING!
I think it's my new favorite! 
It's so simple to make an elegant card with this one.

Foiling is so much fun!

Home Sweet Home Decor for Clear Scraps

   Hello, my friends!

I'm back with a fun new project for Clear Scraps!
This time it's a home decor item.

 This project features the Standing House with Wood Embellishment.
This item comes unassembled and ready to decorate.

I added some pieces from the Embellishments Chipboard Punchout Home:

I also added one key that I had leftover from Keys Chipboard Embellishments.

Here are all the pieces I used:

I chose four colors of acrylic paint: white, light brown, light grey, and dark grey. 

These happen to be the colors in my brick backsplash.

Here is how I painted all the pieces:

The house portion of the stand: I brushed on one coat of the acrylic paint. While it was still wet,
I used a baby wipe to remove some of the paint.
The base of the stand: I used the dark grey acrylic paint, and brushed on two coats.
The scroll embellishment: Again, two coats of the dark paint. I left the edges unpainted.
Home Sweet Home Chipboard: I painted in dark grey. 
Small Chipboard House: I removed the heart, and painted the house in light grey. 

Chipboard Key: Painted in light grey. 
Wooden Knob: Painted in white.
Small Chipboard Heart: Painted in white.

I set all the pieces aside to dry. Once they were dry, I moved on to the stenciling. 

I placed a small amount of each of the four acrylic paints on a palette. 
Using a makeup sponge, I picked up a bit of each color. 
After dabbing it on a paper towel, I sponged the paint onto the house,

using the 4 x 6 Brick Wall Stencil. 

I just kept dabbing until I had the look I wanted. 

Next, I inked around all the edges, of all the pieces, using black ink.
I decided on my placement, and then used my tacky glue to adhere everything in place. 
Finally, apply a coat of water-based varnish to protect your finished project. 

Here's a closer look:

This was such a fun project to make!

There are so many fun and creative ways to use this Standing House!

In face, I'll share another idea with you next time!
