Shaker Heart & Arrow Valentine's Layout

 Hi Everyone, 

It's Debbie here sharing today's fun Shaker & Arrow Valentine's Layout using the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Heart and the 6"Heart Arrow Stencil. 

I know we are in Christmas mode right now, and it's not close to Valentine's Day but you can still use this short tutorial for inspiration for later. These shaker hearts are just so much fun and the stencil adds a nice background to any project layouts, cards, wood projects, canvas or tags. 

To get start I have a photo below of the supplies I used with links above and right here just click on the products it will take you directly to the shop.  

Supplies - Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Heart and the 6"Heart Arrow Stencil ; Simple Stories Simple Page Kit All My Heart. 

To begin I taped down my 6"Heart Arrow Stencil in the upper right had corner.

I went around the heart stencil in circular motion very lightly as I wanted to have a soft look to the hearts. 

Here is the first layout page completed. I like the arrow heart up in the corner it adds a nice pattern to the page. This is my granddaughter after we finished her Valentine's box for her school party this year.  She really enjoyed using my craft supplies to create her Valentine's box. 

Here is page 2, I like the shape of the Heart Arrow but I also like the versatility of it as I used the heart stencil around the page sporadically placing it in different areas. I did some hearts dark and some light. So you have a couple different ways to use the 6' Heart Arrow.  

For the second page I wanted to use the Shaker Heart. As I have posted a few layouts using other shakers. I just love that shakers add a bit of fun and add an interactive part to the page that everyone can  enjoy.  

To begin putting the shaker together you will see 3 frames and you will place adhesive on one of them and glue two heart frames together. (see below)

Next I traced and cut the pattern paper I wanted to adhere to the full chipboard heart.

Next I adhered my acrylic piece to the top of the frames I glued together and painted the other frame. The painted frame will be adhered on top of the acrylic frame piece. ***Be sure to take off the clear film on both sides of the acrylic piece before adhering****

Next you can add you shaker bits or what every you would like to place inside your shaker. Now I have the chipboard heart papered and the heart frames with acrylic piece adhered together. 

After you place your shaker bits inside the heart you can adhere the frame on top and be sure burnish down so the shaker bits do not fall out. 

I placed the heart down in the upper left side corner. I just love how this turned out.

Here is page 2 finished. I really like how the stenciled hearts and the shaker heart look on this layout. Definitely adds some brightness and character to the page. 

Here are both pages placed side by side for you. I definitely will be using the  6"Heart Arrow Stencil again I really like it. 

I hope you enjoyed today's project and got some inspiration for using the shakers and stencils from Clear Scraps. There are a lot of variety of shakers and stencils to choose from in the shop.

Hallow Pumpkin Shaker Layout

Hi everyone,

Today's project is a super cute scrapbook layout I created using Clear Scraps Tall Pumpkin Shakers along with one of the Oak Tree Chipboard pieces.  

Here is the finished Hallow Pumpkin Shaker Layout. 

Let's get started on this super cute layout. 

To start we will be using two of the Tall Pumpkin Shakers and one of the Chipboard Oak Trees, along with what ever Halloween paper line you would like to use.

 

First take off the film covering from both sides of the pumpkin shaker acetate. This way you don't forget.

Next I painted the pumpkin bottom piece and one of the pumpkin framed piece that will go over the acetate. 

Next I grabbed a funny face stamp from my stash and stamped it on both bottom pumpkin pieces.

This turned out so cute. lol  I like playing with these pumpkin shaker pieces, you add paper, stamps or stencils to decorate them however you'd like. 

Next I am adhering the two middle frames together and also going to adhere the acetate to them.

Now I am adhering the acetate down on top of the two frames we glued together. Next adhere the top painted frame on top of the acetate. (the top painted frame is on the right above my hand.)

These are the shaker bits I am using from Clear Scraps Black & White Sequins. 

I placed the CS Black and White Sequins inside the shaker (as it is facing upside down) on top of the acetate. Next I place my glue around the outside of the chipboard. 

Once I am done I grab the bottom pumpkin (with the face) turn it over and place down on top of the glue and press firmly to make sure its secured. 

Place your adhesive on the back and tack down to your layout page. 

This is the First layout page all finished.

Here is the second pumpkin shaker, as I am adhering down to the Second layout page. 

On the Second page I added the Chipboard Oak Tree to right side of the page using TH Mica Stains. I simply sprayed them on at first let them dry and then sponged on them on and let dry again for a few minutes. 

TH Mica Stain Colors - ominous twilight; specimen; phantom mist

Here are both pages finished with the cute Tall Pumpkin Shakers and Chipboard Oak Tree.
