House Memory-Dex Box for Clear Scraps

   Hello, my friends!

I'm back with a new project for Clear Scraps!
This time I have decorated the House Memory-Dex Box.
I wanted to keep my box very clean and simple, as it will be filled with cards.

Here is the finished box:

Here is how I made it: 

I began by staining all the pieces white.

I then inked the Brick Wall Stencil around the inside edges of the house piece.

Then I stenciled the brick over the entire outside of the house piece. 

 For the grass, I combined two colors of stain. 
This was added to the portion right under the fence, on the outside of each piece.

I repeated this step on the outside of the house piece.

I then grabbed a variety of pretty colors of acrylic paint, along with a stylus.
I added several dip dot flowers in all the "grass" areas.

All that was left was to assemble all the pieces and glue them in place. 

It's very easy to put together and all the pieces fit perfectly.

Since I love to use Scripture verses on my memory-dex cards,
I decided to add a Scripture verse to my box.

I printed this verse out on my computer, die-cut it, and matted it with kraft cardstock.
I adhered this in place on the outside of the house.
Now I can add taller cards to my box, and they won't interfere with this verse.

Here is my finished box filled with several of my Clear Scraps memory-dex cards:

There are LOTS of great memory-dex items in the shop;
both cards, dividers, and boxes!
You can find them all HERE.

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!

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!

Coffee Themed Mason Jar Wood Lids Tutorial for Clear Scraps

   Hello, my friends!

I'm happy to be back with a fun new project for Clear Scraps!

I'm sharing the very cool Mason Jar Wood Lids.
It was so fun to create with this set!

Here is my finished project:

I also used the COFFEE Embellishments Chipboard Punchout.
It's ideal for those of us that like to create coffee themed projects.

The Mason Jar Wood Lids comes in a set of  8 pieces. 

There are three skinny rings that get stacked and adhered together.
The topper is the circle that has the smaller hole in the center of it.
The thicker ring is adhered on the top of the topper.
Finally, there are the three interchangeable discs that you can decorate.

On the left are the three outside rings adhered in a stack.
On the right is the topper with the top ring adhered in place.

To finish the assembly, the topper piece is adhered onto the ring stack.
This forms the mason jar lid.

Once assembled, I painted my lid using a mocha colored acrylic paint.
Once it was dry, I brushed some distress ink on the edges. 

Now to decorate the insert discs. 
I chose the paper I wanted for each one, 
and then chose the chipboard embellishment I wanted to use.

I adhered the paper onto the disc, and inked the edgs.

Using some gel sticks, I colored the chipboard pieces.

Then I adhered the colored embellishments in place, and it was finished!

Here's a look closer look at each disc inserted into the lid:

This was such a fun project to create!

There are so many options when decorating these jar lids.
I love to use jars for organizing all kinds of things: craft supplies, buttons, treats, etc.
There are also many mason jar gift ideas: jellies, jams, pickles, fruit, etc.
Now we can add pretty lids to make them even more special!
