 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun Dinosaur themed album featuring the Deco Tab Chipboard Album from Clear Scraps.

Supplies Used:

Echo Park: Dino-Mite 12x12 Kit

Cardstock: Green, Light Green, Orange & Navy

Masking tape, Bearly Art Glue, Foam Tabs

 Anit-static Powder Tool

Various Colors of Ric-Rac

Step. 1: I started by masking the edge of all the tabs. 

Next, I painted the tabs in alternating greens. Green then light green. I repeated the process on the back side.

I then gently remeved all the masking tape and set the pages off to the side to dry.

Step. 2: I trimmed all the pages for the album. Along with all the photo mats. Pages all measure 6-3/4" wide by 8-1/4" long. I cut some cardstock along with the pattern paper from the kit. The photo mates all 3" x4". I also trimmed the cut apart pages that are inclued tin the kit. I used them as photo mats and decor throught the album.

Step. 3: I adhered the pattern paper to the cover of the album. Then using a hole punch I punched the hole in the paper. 

I repeat the process on the other side with cardstock. I do this for all the pages of the album

Step. 4: I decorate all the pages and covers of the album. I included a few 4" x 6" cut a parts from the kit as little inserts for more decor, photos, journaling. I add the ring binders and some Ric-Rac for a fun touch.

Here's a look at the album.

Happy Mother's Day Card with Clear Scraps

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a Mother's day card featuring Chipboard Embellishments from Clear Scraps. Today, I am using the Fancy Butterflies Chipboard Embellishments.

Supplies Used:

Clear Scraps: Fancy Butterflies Chipboard Embellishments

VersaMark Ink Pad & Marker

VersaFine Ink: Onyx Black

Distress Oxide Inks: Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, & Forest Moss

Brutus Monroe Embossing Powders: Gilded, Autumn Leaves, & Cantaloupe

Sparkle N Sprinkle Embossing Powder: Buttercup Petal

Imagine Crafts: Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray Gold

Pajama Crafter Stamp: Lovely Bouquet Stamp(sentiment only)

100lb Cardstock: White, Lilac, Light Green & Dark Green

Altenew Layering Dies: Lilac Flower

Bearly Art Glue, & Tiny Foam Tabs

Tools:

Heat Tool, & Die-cutting Machine

Step. 1: I start my trimming down a panel of white cardstock.to 4-1/4" X 6-1/4". I then apply some Distress ink in Tumbled Glass onto the panel.

Next, I splatter some Imagine Crafts Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray in gold onto the panel.

Set it a side to dry.

Step. 2: I trimmed the Fancy Butterflies Chipboard Embellishments from the frame it comes on. I save it for later. Next, I apply some VersaMark ink onto the Fancy Butterflies Chipboard Embellishments. I used the marker instead of the pad for my butter because I wanted two colors on the butterfly and this would give me better control.

Then, I covered the Fancy Butterflies Chipboard Embellishments with the Autumn Leaves embossing powder and then heat set it.

I repeated the process but this time I used the Cantaloupe and Buttercup Petal embossing powders. Heat set all the powders and set the butterfly a side.

Step. 3: I used VersaMark Ink on the frame that the Fancy Butterflies Chipboard Embellishments come on. I cover with Gold embossing powder and heat set it.

Step. 4: I die cut several lilac flowers and leaves from Lilac cardstock and two shaded of Green cardstock. I place them onto an photopolymer mat. I then use some Distress Oxide ink in Shaded Lilac for the center of the flowers and a bit of Forest Moss on the leaves for a bit of dimension.  

step. 5: It's time to assemble the card. I start by stamping my sentiment onto the inked background panel with some VersaFine Ink.

Next, I adhere the Frame and Butterfly to the panel. 

Then, the flowers and leaves to the corners. Popping up a few flowers. For a finishing touch I add a few tiny gems in gold to the center of the flowers and around the panel. I adhere the panel to the card base.

The card is complete!
