O Snowy Christmas Tree

4/28/22 DT Favorite at A Perfect Time To Craft Open Challenge!

Hi friends! A big Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you had an awesome weekend and your week has started off nicely! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #43 – Anything Christmas Goes! I’m sure you all remember that Ed and I rescue cats and kittens and our current count is 18 – 11 inside and 7 outside. That said, we haven’t put up a regular Christmas tree in a few years, and we have a small one I made with my Scan N Cut that we put up high and out of reach along with a few other decorations!

I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Pop-Tone Jellybean Green, Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green and Stardream Metallic Antique Gold cardstock. Using a fan brush, I splattered the green pieces with white acrylic paint mixed with a tiny bit of water spritzed from my Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer to resemble snow.

I assembled the Christmas tree, and added an Eyelet Outlet Gold Glitter Enamel Dot to the star on the top. I then added Eyelet Outlet Green, Orange, Pink, Blue and Purple Pearl Bling to the tree along with a red bow.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! Definitely a fun little decoration to add a bit of festive cheer to our living room even with 11 feline kids running about! ;)

Alcohol Inked Phone Stand

Hey, everybody! I hope you’re having a fantastic week and staying warm! We love our chilly weather and all I can say is brrrrr… it was 7 degrees when we got up this morning! I’m thrilled to be back on the Clear Scraps blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know that I’ve been having lots of fun creating alcohol ink backgrounds. Well I took the alcohol ink one step further and inked this Regular Acrylic Phone Stand! OMGosh, this was fun and so easy – acrylic really takes the inks well! And, as I do with my regular alcohol ink backgrounds (usually on vellum), I pressed gold foil onto the ink when it was just about dry to get some pretty veining.

I started by removing the protective film from one side of both of the phone stand pieces. I dropped Cranberry, Poppyfield, Watermelon, Sunset orange, Honeycomb, Sandal, Peach Bellini, Sunshine Yellow and Lemonade alcohol inks onto the surface of each acrylic piece. I added more ink to different areas and when I was happy with the coverage, I set them aside to dry. When they were almost dry, I pressed gold foil onto multiple areas, leaving small bits of the foil. The veining really pops on these colors. When they were completely dry, I painted the edges of both pieces with gold acrylic paint. When that was dry, I removed the protective film from the back of both pieces and covered them with gold cardstock and assembled the stand. The finishing touch was adding red enamel dots.

Here’s a shot of the back.

And one more angled view… I absolutely love how this turned out! A project that’s both beautiful and practical!

Dangle Fringe Earrings

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day! I have something really fun to share with you today… something a little out of the ordinary! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I made a super cool pair of dangle fringe earrings! I used to make jewelry on a regular basis back about ten years ago but it took a back seat to my paper crafting. I die cut two of the six pieces needed for this pair of earrings several months ago and those pieces have been sitting on my craft table all this time. So I finished them up last week and I’m glad I did because I love how they turned out! I have plans for several more pairs, so stay tuned!

Using the Taylored Expressions Designer Dangles – Fringe dies, I cut the two fringed pieces for each earring from Taylored Expressions Craft Leather – Faux Suede and the diamond shapes from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Silver cardstock. I used a small amount of Bearly Arts precision craft glue between each of the layers to hold everything in place and then added the sterling silver eeBeads rings and earring wires which I had in my stash. The finishing touch was adding several dots of Nuvo Liquid Mercury Crystal Drops.

And one more peek… I so love these! They are ‘me’ to a T and were super easy to make!

Congratulations Coin Purse GC Holder

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! It’s almost the end of January and this month has flown by! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I’ve been having so much with my Scan N Cut and created this graduation coin purse gift card holder which features a Light Pink Paper Flower, Clear Jewel Bling Strips and a Silver Edge Clear Jewel Brad. I’ve had this cut file in my arsenal for many years and have made quite a few of these. This one is a little different in that I added pockets to the inside – one holds a little graduation card and the other pocket will hold a gift card.

I cut the base from a dotted ink-resist paper and inked it with Ranger spun sugar distress ink and then with Catherine Pooler It’s A Girl ink to darken it up just a bit. I cut the coin purse frames with clasps from CutCardStock Pop-Tone Cotton Candy cardstock and adhered them to the base. I adhered a Light Pink Paper Flower with a Silver Edge Clear Jewel Brad to the center front, and then added Clear Jewel Bling Strip around the front edge of the coin purse frame. I stamped a sentiment from the Trinity Stamps A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything stamp set in pink ink, trimmed it and adhered it beneath the flower.

I cut the inside pockets from a plaid patterned paper and punched half-circles in the tops before adhering them. I created a card to slip into one of the pockets cut from CutCardStock Pop-Tone Cotton Candy cardstock and Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I rounded the corners, stamped a sentiment in pink inks using the Hero Arts Year Round Messages stamp set and Trinity Stamps A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything stamp set, and adhered the panels together. The white card at the bottom of the photo on the right represents a gift card. This is such a fun project and the coin purse can be made for literally any occasion in any color scheme!

My Favorite Recipes

Hey, everybody! Well, it’s Thursday so that means we’ve surpassed another Hump Day and are on the downslide to the weekend! I’m thrilled to be back on the Clear Scraps blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I used the Slimline Acrylic Tab Album to create a mini collection of my favorite recipes – two each of Dessert, Meat, Veggie, Side and Soup/Stew. I have to say that the hardest part was picking out the few recipes that would fit in this album because I have a bunch of favorites lol!

I printed the recipes on 32# copy paper, and printed the 2″ square finished recipe images on glossy photo paper and cut them with a square die. I covered all the album pages with patterned papers from The Paper Studio Tattered and Worn 12 x 12 paper pad after removing the protective film on both sides of each tabbed page. I inked the edges of each page with walnut stain distress ink and then roughed them up with the Large Sanding Stick for an old worn-out vintage feel.

I stamped the page contents on each tab in brown ink using my stamp press, adhered the recipes to each page, and affixed foiled photo corners on the corners of each photo. I embellished the front and back covers and all the pages with Carta Bella and Echo Park patterned paper strips and stickers. I also used thick alphabet letters for the word ‘Recipes’ on the front cover, put the album together with binding rings, and added ribbon scraps to each ring to complete the album.

Here are close-up shots. Really loving how this turned out! Such a fun project!

Embellishment Bowls & Serving Trays, Oh My!

Hi everyone! A very Happy Thursday to you all! Where has this week gone?! It was just Monday afternoon a minute ago, lol! ;) Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this morning to share an awesome Tape Runner DT inspiration project! I created a set of two embellishment bowls and two serving trays for my studio with my Scan N Cut, and all the tabs and panels were adhered with Retractable Tape Runner.

I cut the bases for the bowls and trays from CutCardStock Curious Metallic Night cardstock and the panels for each from Crafter’s Companion Verity Rose 6×6 luxury paper pad. The construction was super simple, and as mentioned above, I adhered all the tabs and panels with Retractable Tape Runner. This is a good strong adhesive – and perfect for this type of project.

These bowls are great for small die cut pieces and the trays are great for dies or ephemera. I think, as crafters, we all can identify with losing stuff we’re working with, and having these in my studio is a huge stress-reliever because I don’t have to search for MIA items! This is the second set of bowls I’ve made but the first set of trays, and I sure do love them. On a side note, I guess it’s time to admit that I’ve moved a table into my studio where my Scan N Cut now lives – so I cut whatever file I want whenever I want. I mentioned several weeks ago that this is the longest it’s been out of the cabinet since I’ve owned it so I figured I might just as well make that a permanent situation! Here’s another peek at the sets. Loving how they turned out!

Summer Waves Flip Flop

Hey everybody! A very Happy Tuesday to you – I hope your week is off to a great start! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve been having the best time playing with alcohol inks and I created this flip flop for my growing (albeit ‘slow growing’ here lately, lol) paper shoe collection! I used my own flip flop template HERE. Alcohol ink backgrounds are so addictive… I go for long periods without playing with alcohol inks and then when I get them out to play, I can’t stop! Stay tuned for more pretty backgrounds coming your way! ;)

I cut a panel from Core’dinations 65# vellum and created the background with Ranger Cool Peri, Purple Twilight, Eggplant, Aqua, and Sailboat Blue alcohol inks along with a few drops of Ranger Alcohol Blending Solution. Just before the panel was dry, I pressed a piece of Spellbinders Silver Glimmer Hot Foil onto it which left small bits of the silver foil. I always let my alcohol ink backgrounds dry for at least 24 hours before working with them. I used my Xyron 510 to add the inked panel to a Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock panel, and then hand-cut the flip flop base and straps from the inked panel. I assembled the flip flop and created a two-layer decorative embellishment using the Stampin’ Up Swirly Bird stamp set with Catherine Pooler Serenade ink, cut with the Stampin’ Up Swirly Scribbles Thinlits from silver metallic foil cardstock.

Here’s a peek at the sole created with the Stampin’ Up Cable Knit Textured Impressions embossing folder. I love giving the soles of my flip flops some life, lol! ;)

And one more look… I’m smitten with this one! Loving how this turned out and wishing I had a pair just like it in real life! ;)

I Heart Summer accordion album

Hey, everybody! Happy Monday – hope you had a great weekend and your week ahead will be fabulous! We have something awesome to look forward to – our new internet service provider will be installing a little later this morning and we’ll finally have faster internet! Woo-hoo! I’m thrilled to be back on the Clear Scraps blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a very colorful Summer accordion album featuring our Blank Wood Card as the cover. This was a lot of fun!

I painted the cover with green chalk paint and lightly sanded vertically and horizontally on it to create a very subtle cross-hatch design. I used some awesome patterned papers, ribbon, and tons of embellishments, die cuts, and elements throughout. Most of the pages contain flat photo/journaling areas but I did create one pocket with a pull-out card on the last page.

Christmas Mini Album

Hey, everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope you’re having a great week and it’s not too cold where you are! I’m thrilled to be back on the Clear Scraps blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas – it’s so hard to believe that it has come and gone! We had an absolutely beautiful Christmas and the real truth is that it’ll be here again before we know it! I have one last Christmas project for the year to share featuring our Chipboard Tag Album that has plenty of room for documenting those Christmas memories. You’ll be seeing more Christmas projects from me in the upcoming months because Christmas is my favorite holiday and I create holiday cards and projects all year long!

I covered the front and back sides of the four tags with Christmas papers, inked the edges and embellished each side with coordinating ephemera and stickers. There are pockets with pull-out cards and tags as well as folders that open outward and upward… lots of open space for photos and journaling! This was a super fun project!

Santa Gnome gift bags

Hi friends! Well, tomorrow night is THE night… the night that jolly St. Nick will be here! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this morning to share a couple large gift bags decorated with Bearly Art Santa Gnome cut files. If you have an electronic die cutting machine and you’ve never seen their cut files, you need to check them out! They’ve got some really cute ones! Ed and I joined a large group of friends this past Sunday for a delicious Christmas meal (pasta bar, salad, garlic bread and dessert) and a delightful White Elephant game. We took our White Elephant gifts in large gift bags that I decorated with these adorable Santa Gnomes. They were a hit, as you can imagine!

I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Basis Black, Basis Blue, Basis Green, Basis Soft Pink, Gold Glitter, Silver Glitter cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, Colorbok Red cardstock. I assembled the Gnome Santas and adhered them to the large gift bags. Using the Tim Holtz Idea-ology type lower cling foam stamps, I stamped ‘merry christmas’ in Catherine Pooler Midnight ink on the white bag and in StazOn Cotton White ink on the black bag. I LOVE foam stamps and I only have two sets (both are Tim’s) and they stamp with such an awesome impression, the first time! Of course, it helps to have juicy ink pads! ;) I love how these turned out!
