Cherish Shaker Baby Frame

 Good morning,

It's Deb here today with a super cute way you can display those cute photos of your kids or grandchildren within a little shaker plaque/frame. For this project I used Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Plaque Rectangle and Cherish Chipboard Word. In the shop there are tons of words to choose from along with a variety of Shaker Shapes. Below shows you what I used along with the links. 

   

To start off with we are going to paint the Cherish Chipboard Word using Sky Blue paint. I thought this color was perfect coordinating with the pattern paper I selected. 


To put the Shaker Plaque together you will have 3 frames and 1 acetate piece. Adhere 2 of the plaque frames together and then adhere the acetate piece on top of the 2 plaques you just adhered. The 3rd plaque frame we will cover with pattern paper. 


Here is what the 2 frames and acetate piece look like once all three are adhered together. 



Next take the 3rd plaque frame and trace around the outside of the frame on pattern paper and cut it out.


Adhere the pattern paper to the frame. 


Turn over the and use your xacto knife to cut from corner to corner, in the middle, like cutting pizza slices. Then use your xacto knife and cut along the inside edges. All your little pieces should come out fairly easy, if they don't come out just go over it again with the xacto knife. 


Here is what the frame looks like once your done. 


Next place double back tape and glue on the back of the plaque/frame and place your photo on top. Make sure you burnish the photo down.


Once your photo is adhered place down your shaker bits on top and adhere the pattern paper frame on top of the acetate. Then adhere the frame on top, be sure to burnish down the sides really well so the shaker bits do not fall out. 



Now find a frame that you can hang on the wall or place up on a table. Take out all the cardboard that is inside the frame and use one that you will cover with pattern paper, as shown below. 
Once you have the cardboard papered adhere your picture shaker plaque/frame on top. 



Once you place the cardboard and the backing back onto the frame you can decorate how you would like. Since this is a photo of my grandson I thought I would use a little banner that I fussy cut along with the little teddy bears and blue tennis shoes. I adhered the Cherish Chipboard Word on the top of the frame.  This is so cute. 


I hope you enjoyed today's project and that you got some inspiration to try this out. I just love creating picture frames with photos of my grandkids. 
Thanks so much for joining me I have the links to both of the items I used in today's step by step tutorial above and throughout the page. 
I hope you have a wonderful day and Happy Crafting

Bee Happy In Pink

Good Morning everyone,

Today I have two fun projects using the May 2024 Card, Tag and More Kit. I share how to use the Flower Metal Dies and we use the honey comb chipboard along with the stamp set and papers you receive in your kit. I hope you enjoy today's step by step tutorial along with further details from the video tutorial (down below). I also hope these projects give you some inspiration on how to use all the fun items in the Kit.


     Card, Tag and More Kit


MemDex Card -
I used a metal die from my stash to cut chipboard for the memdex card. Next I cut out two pieces of the pattern paper from the Card Kit and adhered one on the front and one on the back.

For the honey comb I decided to used a sparkly pink glitter to cover the honey comb. 
I used glue all over the top of the honey comb sprinkled glitter and let dry. 


Here are the flowers I made using that cute flower builder metal die that comes in the Card Making Kit. I just love these little flower, they are so dainty and pretty. Down below you can see I added the small little buds to the ends of the tiny green leaf ones and how I added the small scalloped piece to the center/top of the flower that petals are downwards. The other flowers I layered on top of one another. Next I just adhered the back of each green stem to the back of the flowers and let dry. 



Next I adhered the honey comb to the top right side of the memdex card and started adding my leaves and flowers. For a 3D look I added foam tape to the back of the my flowers. 


Here is the finished Bee Pink MemDex Card. 

Small Easel Card -

For this small easel card I cut my light green paper 3 7/8 x 8 inches.


Fold in half and then fold the top flap in half this is the start of the easel card. 


Next I cut all my layers. The dark pink is the base, the cream (which is actually a lt. yellow glitter paper) is adhered on top of the dark pink paper and bottom pattern paper is adhered to the light cream colored paper that is 3 5/8 x 3 5/8 inches. 
You will need 3 of the 1 7/8 x 3 3/4 inch pieces two that are for the inside and one for the 1/2 fold on the back of the front base.


Adhere the square pieces together. 


Place glue on the bottom half of the folded front. 


Adhere the square base down. 


Next cut the pieces to cover in the inside of the card. 


Next I used the stamp set that is in the Card Kit. Stamped "Thank you" on the die cut banner from my stash. 


Here is the card finished along with placing the flowers from the flower builder die set. 

 I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. For more details you can always view the video tutorial process, which is at the top of the page.

Wooden Spring Wand & Bird House

 Good Morning all, 

Today's project is a easy fun and fast home decor piece I hope you all like it as much as I had fun creating it using the Wood Shiplap Birdhouse along with the Spring Flower Shape Word. I have the links for both of these down below with the photo. 

           Wood Shiplap Birdhouse                                   Word n Shape Spring Flower 

         


We will begin with the Word n Shape Spring Flower. Trace the flower on patter paper, then cut out and adhere to both side of the flower. You can paint the wooden flower if you'd like.  


Here is the front of my wooden flower papered. 



Next for the word "Spring" I used some seafoam stencil butter to cover the front of my word I let dry and then added a few more coats. Once it was dried I added some glacier paste or glitter paste to add some sparkle.


Next adhere the word to the top of the flower and adhere a little wooden dowel.



For the bird house I first painted it yellow and painted the roof portion a lime green. I then came in with a stencil from my stash and some oxide inks mustard seen, saltwater taffy, tumble glass, and kitsch flamingo and went around the bird house using these colors sporadically.


Here is a close up of the bird house all finished. 


I did add some lace to the outline of the roof. This turned out so colorful I love it. Next adhere just about 1 inch from the bottom to the little holder you may be using. You may have to use hot glue. 


Next add in your flowers. I went ahead and added some spring flowers I had in my stash. 
And that is it, we're done. Super fast easy home decor for Spring. 


This is so easy and I like that you can change the flowers out if you want to and add in a bird, easter eggs or any other spring items you'd like to decorate with for Spring. 


I know this was a short step by step tutorial but this was so fun and easy to do and I love projects that are easy and turn out beautifully for a lovely home decoration. 
Thanks so much for joining me I have the links to both of the items I used in today's step by step tutorial, Wood Shiplap Birdhouse  and Word n Shape Spring Flower .

I hope you have a wonderful day and Happy Crafting

3D Happy Birthday Strawberry Shaker Tag

 Hi everybody,

Welcome back to another fun project using Clear Scraps 3D Strawberry Shaker Tag along with the Chipboard "Birthday" sentiments. This project is a fun fast one that I created using the 3D Strawberry Shaker Tag as a fun embellishment on a gift bag. Down below I have the supplies we used with the links listed above the product. 

3D Strawberry Tag                                         Chipboard Birthday Sentiment

                        


To start off with this 3D Strawberry Shaker Tag you will get 2 acetate pieces and 4 frames.
You can place any way you'd like on the tag. 


To start I usually place one acetate one the back with one frame. I adhere two of the frames together and then adhere the acetate on top. This leaves one frame that will be adhered to the top of the acetate piece. 

Here I am adhering the acetate piece and frame to the back of the tag. 

 
Next trace the tag on a piece of pattern paper. Place the pattern paper on the tag, then place one of your strawberry frames on top and trace on the inside of the strawberry. 


Next you can check to make sure the paper fits around the strawberry and cut any excess away. 
Then adhere the pattern paper to the tag. 



Next I glittered the top strawberry shaker frame that is adhered to the acetate and frames we adhered together earlier. 


Add in the shaker bits to the inside of the strawberry and then adhere the top. Make sure to burnish in really well so your shaker pieces don't fall out. Now you can decorate any way you'd like. 



Next I had used the word happy from my stash and glittered the chipboard sentiment "Birthday".
 I think this turned out so pretty. I really like how the red glitter brightens up the chipboard sentiment and strawberry. 


Next I adhered the tag to a gift bag and added in the little strawberry shortcake girl to my tag. 
I think this 3D Shaker Strawberry Tag is so great for my granddaughters birthday. 


Today's project was so fun and quick such a great way to embellishment card or gift bag for any occasion. I hope you enjoyed the step by step tutorial and got some inspiration to try out these fun 3D tags from Clear Scraps. I really enjoy them. I have the links for you throughout the post for you. 

Have a great day and Happy Crafting,
