Pumpkins from the past ~ Fall fun!!!

Hi!!
Turkey day is almost here.  I love Smoked Turkey and
Pumpkin Pie! and Sweet Potatoes and homemade
Chicken and Noodles. So Grateful!! I could go on and on as I'm 
sure you could too.  Anyway I thought I would share some
past projects using these key words I have highlighted.
Hope you enjoy ~

I used these as toppers for the Pumpkin Pie one year
at Thanksgiving.  The kids ended up taking them a turkey home:)
Using Sizzix die by Tim Holtz.

My youngest son made this Turkey in kindergarten and I still
have it.  Made with pipe cleaners and a spool, feathers, hand 
drawn turkey head.

A spooky clip board. Using products by Clear Scraps.  A fun one!!

Love this Fall card using stamps by Darkroom Door
and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Using Pouring Medium by DecoArt to cover some old
Pumpkins (Dollar Store) that had seen a better day.  Love the
mixed media look!!

Birch Wood Notes Folder with Clear Scraps~

Hi, Connie here with a cute project using the Birch Wood Notes wood shapes by Clear Scraps.  The wood shapes are great for making note books as well as cards.  It comes with two pieces of Birch Wood that make a perfect front and back for any type project.  Here is what I came up with~


Finished cover~


Inside of finished cover~

Instructions below:

1. Cover both of  the backs of the birch wood pieces with felt or wool material.  Use a strong wet glue.
2. Cut one long piece, so the felt will act as a hinge, for the folder to fold.
3. Trim off excess felt with scissors.  Cut a slit in the bottom, felt covered, birch wood piece. Use a cardboard guide, so the line is straight for the note pad to slide in.  The note pad will need to have a cardboard lip, on the back, in order to do this method. 
4. Slide note pad into slit.

       5.  Apply Distress Oxide ink to the front and back birch wood pieces.  Lay the ink pad directly on the birch wood and rub it all over until the color covers the birch wood.   Easy and no mess!

       6. Emboss chipboard Hearts Lock and then stamp with Jet black StazOn ink using a script stamp.
       7.  Using the same script stamp and ink, stamp on the front cover of the birch wood piece.
       8.  Finish the cover by adding ribbon and a key.  Speckle with irResistible Texture spray.  It won't bleed into the wood.
The project is easy and makes a beautiful gift!

Supplies used:
Clear Scraps:  Birch Wood Notes wood shapes
Clear Scraps: chipboard Hearts Lock
Other:
Distress Oxide/Antique Linen
Darkroom Door /Script Texture
StazOn/Jet Black
IrResistible Texture Spray/Black

Grandkids Birch Wood Frame by Clear Scraps~

Hi, Connie here with another, awesome, new product by Clear Scraps.  The XL Birch Wood Frame  is a beautiful home decor product that comes in different shapes and different sentiments plus did I tell you these products are Made in the USA.  Love that!!!!!   


Here are some photos of how the Grandkids Birch Frame was created ~


Paint the word (Grandkids) with acrylic paint and let dry.
Paint the heart frame with a contrasting color and let dry.


Cover the inside of the heart with pattern paper.  I used Beacon 3 - in -1 to adhere the heart paper to the wood.  Cover the two photo spaces at the bottom with pattern paper also.


Using Beacon 3-in-1,  glue the frames over the spaces covered with pattern paper.  Now the fun part, decide on the photos and embellishments.  Paint any embellishments that will be used to decorate the wood frame.


The frame is easy to create and only a few items to glue down.   This is one example of many new Birch Wood Frames by Clear Scraps.  Great gift ideas using these beautiful frames.

Products used:
Clear Scraps: Grandkids  18" Birch Wood Frame
Clear Scraps: Hammer set chipboard embellishment
Other:
Beacon 3-in-1 glue
pattern paper
clips
acrylic paint
