Clear Scraps Mixed Media Layering Stencil Video Tutorial

Happy Thursday friends, I have a fun video tutorial to share today because 

everyone is asking how to use the new Layering Stencils from Clear Scraps. 

I made this Steampunk Hot Air Balloon Tag using some mixed media techniques. 

If nothing else it will give you an idea of how to use these super cool stencils!

Here is the video, pardon my clumsiness! LOL

Have a fantastic crafty day friends!

Fall Mixed Media Acrylic Tag

Hey there friends, well this TAG project taught me a lot! LOL

I tried using this copper paste on  it, but it kept flaking off, I was using the Clear Scraps

Fall Leaves Stencil/Mascil which I love. 

But I had to find a way to keep the paste from flaking, so finally 

I "frosted" the tag by using a file to scratch the surface. After I did that the 

paste stayed on but I was sure to seal it with a clear acrylic spray.

I used Clear Scraps Maple Branch Chipboard Embellishments I painted and 

glittered and added them for more texture. 

Both the Mascil/Stencil were in the September Creating Made Easy Kit Club Kit 

plus a whole bunch of amazing other items!

February Mixed Media Tag!

Happy Thursday friends, you know Clear Scraps started a new monthly

tag program and I decided to make my FEB tag Mixed Media. 

If you go to the CS blog I have step by step instructions!

Nothing in life is better then glitter and hearts! LOL

I can be a fun tag or a birthday tag, I really just enjoyed painting it with 

Krylon paints and playing with the Large Tag Album page from Clear Scraps!

Have a wonderful day my friends. :)

Stenciled Canvas Gift Bag Tutorial!

Yes, I am still crafting! LOL 

Since the divorce, it is so difficult to blog consistently, 

working and taking care of two boys by myself just limits my time.

I wish I had more blog time, I will try in 2016. 

So this is a project I created for publication and here is a photo tutorial for it.

Modeling Paste:

Mica Powder:

CLEAR SCRAPS STENCIL!

A little spray paint on the edges and viola! :) 

Beautiful Gift Holder Idea!

Not Your Usual Layout Idea!

Hey there friends, I have a layout with my sweet boy Gage.

For this unusual layout I used a Clear Scraps

 XL Shape base which I stenciled the corners with 

Modeling Paste, then spray painted the entire thing GOLD with Krylon.

Not your usual layout style I know, but I love it. 

It's my sweet Gage and his the picture shows the struggle in his eyes. 

Gosh I love this kid. This one was published in SNA in July.

Mini Layout and 80's Style Card

Hey there friends, its officially Tuesday pretty sure I am ready for Friday! ha

I will point out my mistake here...

I have a mini layout to share today, I love making 6X6 mini pages. 

I used the newest Avocado Arts stamp set paired with Clear Scraps Mascils.

I used Modeling paste then glitter, but I waited too long for the glitter, next time

I will do it right away, but I forgot where I put the blue glitter LOL

For the card I was going for a Miami Vice/80's vibe so I used black ink

then a bright embossing powder. 

Just had some fun with it all. :)

Happy Tuesday friends!

Pion/Clear Scraps Mixed Media Frame!

Hey there friends, this week on Clear Scraps we are showcasing

Pion Design projects mixed with Clear Scraps!

This one is mine, it is a Clearly Framed Frame (Clear Scraps) that I created

using Modeling Paste, Clear Scraps Chicken Wire Mascil, 

and Pion Design Paris Flea Market papers. 

 I took the Modeling Paste with the Chicken Wire Mascil to cover the entire acrylic

front piece, then I let it dry overnight. 

After that I rubbed 2 different shades of Mica Powder on it. 

I created handmade flowers and painted the back gold with Krylon. 

I was so excited to hang it in my house!
