Not to late for a snowflake card ~ Clear Scraps!

Hi, Connie here with a quick card using the 6" Holly Christmas Bulbs stencil by Clear Scraps. This is a beauty!!!! So pretty.  Perfect time to bling up a card.


The card is 5" x 5".  The stencil is 6"x 6".  You will have about 1/2 " over hang, perfect!  I used archival ink and applied it with a sponge.  Easy way to get a great look.

Clear Scraps and Snowflakes!!

Hi guys!

I have a fun project to share with you using the large 12 x 12 Nordic Snowflake 

stencil from Clear Scraps.

The pillow blank is by Canvas Corp.  I used acrylic white paint with a round 

small sponge brush to apply the paint to the pillow.  The paint dried fast so it was easy to keep moving with the stencil.

I sewed a vintage button in the center on the Snowflakes.  The burlap bow is removable. 

The Clear Scraps stencil washes up great.  Just soak it, for a few minutes, in soapy water and the paint peels right off.

Clear Scraps has a bunch of brand new stencils released at CHA 2015~

you can find them in the store.

Snowflake Ornaments by Clear Scraps~ tutorial!

Hi guys!!!

Fun weekend!!!!

I have some acrylic ornaments to show you using the Snowflakes by Clear Scraps.

Aren't they gorgeous?  Ok, let me walk you through creating these acrylic ornaments~

1. Remove the plastic film from the acrylic Snowflake shapes.

2. Using Alcohol inks (3 colors), apply to acrylic snowflakes.

3. Let dry a few miniutes.

4. Spray with irRESISTible Texture Spray (white).

As they dried they started taking on a pink shade. 

5. Make an embellishment cluster for the center of the Snowflake.  I used twine, die cut leaves and flat backs. 

6. Adhere the cluster to the acrylic Snowflake with 3-IN-1 by Beacon.

The Flair is by Jenni Bowlin Studio ~ design by Betsy Sammarco.
