Med. Pallet Mason Jar by Clear Scraps~

Hi guys!!
My turn on the Clear Scraps Blog!!   Super fun project using the newly released Med. Mason Jar and All Create 4x6 stencil by Clear Scraps.   The Med. Mason jar is in the pallet family of shapes created by Clear Scraps.

Instructions:
1. Sand lightly and wipe off with a soft cloth.
2. Paint jar lid gray and body of jar a color of your choice.
3. Sand again for a distressed look.

4. Create a guide for the stencil so the spacing will be correct.
5. Move the stencil according to where the breaks in the pallet board are when you are applying the words (ink works best for words).
6. Stamp the paint brushes (Darkroom Door) out on watercolor paper and trim out.  Color the brushes in with watercolors or markers.

7. Adhere the paint brushes with Beacon 527 along with a few paper flowers.
8. Splat with white acrylic paint lightly.

9. Wrap the jar lid with twine and then tie on ribbon. Fold the ribbon in a figure eight pattern and then tie on.
10. Use crop-a-dile to make holes in top of mason jar for a hanger.
These are fun to create and what great gifts!!!

Wood Cupcake Card by Clear Scraps~

Hi guys!
Today it is my turn on the Clear Scraps Blog~
I'm sharing a fun Wood Cupcake card.  Super cute, I might add.

These wood cards are fun to create and so super cute!!  This one was painted and pattern paper was adhered to the inside of the card.  The pattern paper shows through the cutout cupcake, that you see on the front of the wood card.  Stickers and stamps were used to decorate the front of the card.   My crop-a-dile was used, to punch holes in the wood, so  ribbon could  be used, to tie the card together. 

I used a "Happy Birthday" sticker on the inside of the card.  The outside and inside were splattered with orange acrylic paint to complete the finished card.

Clear Scraps has nine different designs of the wood cards.  Check them out here~

Hosanna In the Highest~a card with Joy Clair!

Hi guys!!

It is my turn on the Joy Clair's Blog today.  I am showcasing the Hosanna set

 that was newly released in January.  

Joy Clair released 13 new stamp sets that are so creative and

 fun to use for card making.

The Palm leaves are stamped on the card front with black archival ink. The leaves are colored in using Distress Oxide ink watered down. The background is created using Distress Oxide inks that are watered down to make small puddles of color.  That makes it easy to turn the card front over (to the front side) and pick up color.  I kept during this until I was happy, with amount of color for the background.

The word HOSANNA was stamped out on white cardstock using Distress Oxide ink and embossed with a clear coat embossing powder.  The word is matted on brown cardstock with a torn off edge. Ric rack and a button were added for texture.

Try It Tuesday~Pop Up dies are the bomb!!!!

Hi guys!!

A while back Karen Burniston had a design team call for 2019.  I decided

 to submit my creations using her awesome Pop-up dies.  The reason I love

 them is you can create really fun interactive cards using her dies with stamps, die cuts 

or other paper craft products.  I didn't make the team but had a fun time creating
these cards!

This card is using #1015 House & Fence Pop-up die with Carved leaves Vol.1 by Darkroom Door.
See what I mean, stamps work so well with these Pop- up dies!!

I loved the platform on this card and that is the reason I bought this die. So many
ways to create with it. The cupcake can be cut down and an image can replace the
cupcake.   #1008 Cupcake Pop-up die with Stars , Happy Birthday,
 Brushed Sentiments  by Darkroom Door and pattern paper.

This one was my favorite. I love the tent design. I think it is so clever and darling.
#1048 Tent Pop-up and #1049 Camping Charms.

I will be posting a short video of each card opening on Instagram 

(so If you are interested follow me)

Thanks for stopping by for 

and sorry I'm running late again.
