Red, White and Blue Shaker Flag and Chipboard Ribbon

 Good Day Crafty Peeps, 

Today I have a two page scrapbook layouts that feature the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Flag and he Chipboard Ribbon. These two layouts are so simple and easy I have all the details below for you as well as the links to both of the products down below. 

      Mini Shaker Flag                                               Chipboard Ribbon

              

For this layout its basically one sketch that is done horizontally and one vertically. So the measurements for all the paper cuts are the same for each scrapbook page. I have them listed below. 

2 - 12x12 pattern papers or plain papers (base page)
4 - 1 x 12 strips (red paper used as borders)
4 - 1 x 8 3/4 strips (pattern paper , banners)
2 - 3 1/2 x 12 pieces of pattern paper
2 - 4 1/2 x 12 pieces of pattern paper

1st Layout Page

For this layout take the red strips that are 1x12 inches and adhere one down about 3 1/2 inches down, as shown below. 



Next adhere the the 4 1/2 x 12 inch piece down and with at least 1/4 inches showing on the top, and place the 2nd 1 x 12 inch red strip down on the bottom, as shown below. Also cut the 1 x 8 3/4 inch strip into a banner (fish tail, see below the blue w/stars) and adhere that right above the red strip. 


Adhere the 2nd 1x 8 3/4 inch piece to the bottom right below the red strip. Next cut the 3 1/2 x 12 piece into a banner this is will be adhered on top of the larger piece, that is in the middle. Also cut about 1/4 inch off from the end.  (shown below)


For the Chipboard banner I painted the banner red first, then painted star blue. I then took a piece of scrap paper and placed it on the bottom of the ribbon tails at a slant and painted the sides blue and went around the top of the ribbon with a thin line in blue. Once it dried I took my white gel pen and outlined between the red and blue. From my the paper collection I took the a red sticker and adhered it the middle of the blue star.    


Here is what the Chipboard Ribbon looks like up close. I just love how this turned out. I added some other stars from the sticker sheet around the chipboard ribbon. 

Here is the finished layout. I added to places for photos and a few sentiments along with a cut-a-part card. I really think the Chipboard Ribbon makes it look so festive. 




2nd Layout Page
To start out when you unpack the Mini Flag Shaker you will have 3 frames, 1 back piece, and 1 acetate piece. The acetate has a film on both sides so you will need to remove that before adhering onto the frames, as shown in the next photo. 


Take two of the frames and adhere together and adhere the acetate on top of the frames. Remember to remove the film from both sides of the acetate. 


Next trance the back piece on to pattern paper and adhere to the front of your flag. 


Next paint the remaining frame 


Take both red strips that are 1x12 inches and adhere on the back of the 4 1/2 x 12 inch piece. Adhere this down about 3 1/2 inches over from the left side. It's not quit in the middle. This is basically the same layout as the top Scrapbook Page but just Vertical instead of horizontal. 


Next take the 1 x 8 3/4 inch pieces, again cut them as shown below (fish tail) and adhere them on right next to the red strips. And cut the 3 1/2 x 12 inch piece cut 1/4 inch off the end and cut the other end into a fish tail, as shown below. 


Next place your shaker bits into the Mini Flag Shaker, adhere the painted frame on to the acetate and adhere Flag to your layout. 


Here is a close up of the Mini Shaker Flag. I just love how this turned out. It is just perfect. 


Here is the finished layout. I love the the Mini Flag Shaker looks next to the firework stickers and on this pattern paper, it looks amazing. 

Here is a photo of both layouts next to one another. I am loving these pages with the Mini Flag Shaker and the Chipboard Ribbon. 


I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial sharing how to incorporate the Mini Flag Shaker and Chipboard Ribbon into your Scrapbook Page Layouts and other projects you create. There are a variety of Mini Shakers and Chipboard pieces to choose from in Clear Scraps Shop. 
Thanks for joining me today, I just had so much fun creating these and using Clear Scraps products.

Happy Crafting my Friends,

Up 'n Away

Good Day All,

How are you all doing?? Well July 4th is this next week and so we loaded up family and headed over to one town over to view our traditional Fireworks display. Had a great time with the kids and my granddaughter celebrating her first 4th of July. : )

With that being said, for the New Challenge over at One Stitch At A Time Challenge 240 Anything Goes Red, White and Blue. So it seemed like a good time to introduce to you the latest "Craze" people are talking about, "Pocket Letters".  I am sure most of you have heard of these, it's all over facebook and blogs. People are making and swapping with one another, like you do with ATC's. I have to tell you that some of these PL's are gorgeous, amazing and just fun in any theme you choose Shabby chic, vintage, birthday, movie's, floral, butterfly, and many more. You can make these PL's using a 9 pocket baseball card sleeve and some of your crafty scraps.

Today I am sharing my second Pocket Letter using an image from the StitchyBear  Digital Stamp Outlet by RSP - Full of Hot Air. I really enjoyed making this and this image was perfect for this Pocket Letter.

Here it is:
