Two Christmas Card Tutorial

Hell my friends friends, I am excited to share 2 different holiday cards I created using the Creating Made Easy December 2016 Kit today! Yes, I even have a photo step by step tutorial for you to create your own. 

For the first card I took a card base I had but you could use any card stock base and create your own. I traced the Mini Tree from the Tree Album in the kit and cut it out of the center of the front of the card just slightly larger then the Mini Tree. 

After that I covered the front of the card with My Mind's Eye paper from the December 2016 Kit and then trimmed out the tree pattern.

I took one of the pages from the Tree Album and took of the protective film, then inked the tree using StazOn ink from my ink stash in my craft room.

While it was wet with ink I lightly sprinkled on glitter and let it set 5 minutes, then I added pearls with my Pearl Pen. 

I covered the inside of the card using My Mind's Eye paper from the kit, and punch a hole above the tree cut out on the face of the card.

I used Bakers Twine from my personal craft stash to tie the tree to the front of the card. It actually is easily removed to become a beautiful shimmering ornament. 

I then added the sentiment to the front, which I cut from the My Mind's Eye patterned paper. 

For the second card I simply took 2 of the pages from the Mini Tree Album and adhered pattered paper to the back of one tree (after removing the protective film) and a sentiment sticker to the front of the other tree, trimmed off the excess and inked the edges using StazOn Cotton White ink.

I covered the front of my base card (from my stash) using the patterned paper in the kit, and added a snowy red glitter border on the bottom.

Then used pop dots to adhere the top tree and Beacon Adhesive to adhere to tree underneath.

This December 2016 Kit just made me ready for Christmas Crafts!

Snowy Forest Scene Layout Display

Happy Saturday my friends, I am here today with the Creating Made Easy Featured Project for the month, this Snowy Scene Stenciled Page Display with a fun wintery Holiday Lights 8x8 Layout. My very first December 2016 Creating Made East Kit project!

The Feature Project means every Creating Made Easy December kit ordered will arrive at your doorstep with step by step instructions to create this project, including exactly how I stenciled the Page Frame. 

Have you seen the beautiful detailed in this 6X6 Rustic Forest Mascil (Stencil)? Its absolutely one of my favorite Mascils that Clear Scraps has ever designed! Not only the beautiful snowscape but the moose, bunny, and coyote all there together. 

For those I used Modeling Paste and glitter (of course) and a white Pearl Pen. 

I cannot wait to make other layouts to slide in and out of this display, I am going to use it all winter long. 

The layout I also used the 6X6 Rustic Forest Mascil, I just used the snowmen, and left out the trees and forest creatures.

I absolutely love winter crafting and this kit made me feel like I could stay in a cabin all winter just to decorate it. You might not love snow, but the beauty of it is amazing and fun for all Christmas and winter projects. Loving the My Mind's Eye in this kit, the paper is fabulous.

Grab yours while they last!

Perfectly Clear Fall Colors Layout

Hello again friends what a beautiful fall we are having in Nashville, Tennessee this year (minus the drought), which made the Creating Made Easy November Kit all the more fun (as it is usually!) this time. 

I have a fun layout today that is completely clear Fall Colors Acrylic Layout using the November Kit.

If you would like to create this layout, I have step by step instructions. 

• Using patterned paper from the November Kit (Creating Made Easy) punch out several 1" leaves using any fall leaf punch (I used one from my stash or a cutting machine would work as well).
• Peel off the protective film from the Clear Scraps 12X12 acrylic sheet (only the front for now).
• Trim out 12X7" piece of patterned paper as shown in photo. 
• Adhere 12X7" paper to front of acrylic using Beacon adhesives. 
• Trim out 4X6 matte using patterned paper from the kit. 
• Adhere matting to paper as shown, add photo (trimmed to size).
• Take paper punched leaves, adhere them down right had side. 
• Take buttons(from stash or previous kits) and place them as shown amidst paper punched leaves. 
• Add FALL COLORS sticker from the November Kit sticker sheet. 
• Take gold 3/4" ribbon (from stash) and adhere under photo matting. 
• Take "But I think I love Fall Most Of All" sticker and stick to a leftover scrap of patterned paper. 
• Trim around stick leaving a 1/4"  edge. 
• Using pop dots, add sticker on right hand side of photo as shown. 
• Adhere a couple buttons to the left hand side of the ribbon. 
• Using StazOn ink (from stash) or paint would work as well, and edge entire layout. 
• Remove protective film from the back of the layout. 

Such a fun and easy layout when you break it down piece by piece, and I love acrylic layouts in my books, they are so unique and creative.

You could replace any of the stickers or sentiments wither choice from this packed kit!

BOO Crackle Spiderweb Album

Happy October my friends, today I have a fun BOO Spiderweb Crackle Album!

For this mini I took the 4X4 Mini Tab Album from the October 2016 Creating Made Easy Kit, and I coated the cover page with StazOn ink (in case the crackle showed through)

and I used Texture Crackle Paste from my stash in copper to cover the front page.

While I set that aside to dry I covered each page with patterned paper from the October 2016 Creating Made Easy Kit.

After the Texture Paste completely dried I used black paint to "ink" the edges for a spookier feel.

After that I stamped spiderwebs on the cover, I actually used paint instead of ink for this one.

I put stickers from the kit on each page-prepping them for photos. 

And added the BOO from Corrugated Alphabet Stickers from my own stash. (We all have alphabets stickers!)

I threaded it with a thin black ribbons and added pics!

I love the end result and it wasn't hard to create.

Grab your October 2016 Creating Made Easy Kit before it's gone! Only 29.99 including USA shipping.

Halloween SHAKERS!!

Happy Monday friends, today I have my first couple of projects from the fabulous Creating Made Easy October 2016 Kit!

I decided to make these two Clear Scraps Shakers and share just how I created them!

For the Bat Shaker I used Gesso from my stash, spreading it onto the chipboard base and basically using it as adhesive to adhere the next layer. 

After thatI spread Gesso on the top layer piece, and set aside both pieces to dry. 

Then I took heavy duty foil and punches out stars and moons (it sharpens your punches as well) to create the "floating" pieces in the Shaker. 

Right before the base Gesso dried I put two foil moons as the "eyes" and pressed them in lightly. 

I waited for everything to dry added the foil stars and adhered the acrylic and top layer on, after gluing some ribbon in between the layers for a hanger. Before I added the acrylic I hand painted some spider webs onto the front using paint and a very small brush. 

Now for the Ghost Shaker I used Modeling paste from my stash with glitter (while wet) for the top layer. 

I adhered patterned paper from the kit to the base of the Ghost Shaker.

After everything dried, I adhered a ribbon in between the layers, added the sequins from the kit, then adhered the other layers. 

Such a fun idea, these Clear Scraps Shakers!

Happy Crafty Monday my friends,

Circle Mini Album Stenciled With Krylon

The newest Creating Made Easy January Kit is live and this is

a project I created using the Acrylic Circles that were included. 

Now I did use a NEW CHA 2016 Mascil/Stencil from my stash  but 

it's not up yet so I will share when it is!

I love the stencil. I simply sprayed with yellow Krylon spray paint

then glittered it before it dried!

 The blue and yellow colors in the kit have a vintage vibe, perfect

for pretty much any project from winter to fall!

There was a HOME Word Board included and a Chipboard Bannner

and these Circles PLUS MIXERS~ It was a huge kit. 

So grab yours, it's pretty fun!
