Word Frame from Clear Scraps!

Hi, Connie here with a new product alert.  "My Story" is one of the new Word Frames by Clear Scraps  I had the opportunity to create one for the CHA 2016 Clear Scraps booth. Let me show you how I started~



Instructions~
1. Lay the acrylic frame to one side for now.
2. Paint the chipboard backing with acrylic paint and let dry.

3.  Stencil the Chevron pattern randomly on the painted background.  I used black StazOn ink.   Splatter with black acrylic paint.
4.  Trace and cut out letters for the Word Frame ~ My Story.



5. Attach the journal strips to the letters, telling your story.



6. Remove the plastic film from the top side of the acrylic Word Frame.
7. Stencil the tree branch with leaves in several places.  I used acrylic paint and a steeple brush.



8. When the acrylic is dry, clip the back and the acrylic together.
9. Place the letters you cut out in the letter slot on the front of the frame.  If you like a photo to be included, place it on the letter "O".
10. Keep the acrylic and chipboard clipped together so you can punch holes at the top to make a hanger.
11. Add ribbon or wire.

Clear Scraps~Family Word Board!

Hi!!

I have one of my projects I did for Clear Scraps, that went to CHA 2015, to share.  This project will be on the Clear Scraps label, when you buy the Family Word Board.

So excited about that!!!!

Instructions:

1. Cover the back chipboard with old newsprint using Fast Finish Decoupage by Beacon.

2. Let dry.

3. Sand edges of cardboard with sanding block, to remove any over hang of newsprint.

4. Leaving the plastic cover ON the acrylic, lay the acrylic (Family Frame) on the covered newsprint and use it like a stencil.  I used a flat sponge type applicator and black acrylic paint to shade in the word FAMILY and the ovals.

5. When the paint is dry, remove the plastic covering on both sides and you will have a clean, sharp line on the word and ovals.

6. You are ready to decorate each oval or add photographs.

7. I framed the complete project, treating the acrylic word frame as if it were glass.

   Perfect fit in a 11 x 16 frame.  I speckled the frame with white paint for a snow effect.
