Let's Get Started

Step 1. I traced the Large House Journal Chipboard Cover pieces onto the pattern papers I chose and then I cut them out.


Next, I adhered all the papers to the Large House Journal Chipboard Cover and set them aside to dry.

Step2. I cut down the cardstock for my pages to 11" long 63/4" wide. I did a total of 9 pieces. I then scored the cardstock pages at 51/2"  I then made into 3 stack of 3.

Next, I pierced the 3 holes into the cardstock. Starting in the center. 

Then, with the Thread provided with the Large House Journal Chipboard Cover I stiched the pages together creating signatures. I started by going down the center hole. Up the right one then down the center. Then up the left hole. I tied off the the thread and repeated the same steps for each stack.




Step 3.  I decorate each page using the papers from the Colors of Autumn 12x12 paper pad and a variety of stickers from my stash.

This gave me a total of 36 lovely pages. In three signatures.

Step 4. Now that the Large House Journal Chipboard Cover is dry I gathered the eyelet, hole punch, elestic cording, and some adhesive. 

I start by finding the center of the albums spine, I marker it, then mark the two other hole spots. I repeat this step on the end of the spine, I punch the holes on all the marked spots. 

Next, I insert the eyelets and set them with the Crop-A-dile.

Step 5. I adhere the spine to the front and back cover of the Large House Journal Chipboard Cover. Making sure to leave a tiny gap between the covers and the spine.


Next, I insert the cording through the holes and tie it off. I use reverse tweezers to help hold the cording for easy tieing.

Now, can insert all the pages.


The last step is to decorate the front cover. I Fussy cut the gather togetherfrom one of the pattern papers and adhered it to the cover. Then, I added a few die cut leaves and a glitter pumpkin sticker.

Now, the Album is complete!

Fall Gnome Home Decore with Clear Scraps

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun Fall home decore Gnome.
 I used the Clear Scraps Extra Large Gnome # 2 with Stand and 
the Wood Shapes Fall Collection.



Supplies Used:
Recollection Brand: Colors of Autumn 12x12 Pad
Plaid: Mod Podge for Paper
Craftsmart Paint: Brown, Black, Coral, Burgundy,
Grey, Dark Grey, Metallic Silver,
Kellu Green, Golden Brown, Orange & Metallic Bright Gold
Wood Glue
Adtech Glue Tool
Adtech Low Temp Glue Sticks
Pencil and Scissors
Brushes and Foam Brush


Let's get started!

Step 1. I started by painting my stand and the base of the Clear Scraps Extra Large Gnome # 2 with Stand with brown  & black paint. Then set them aside to dry.



Step 2. I painted the hands and nose with the coral paint and I mixed a bit of the burgundy paint into it to get a shade darker for the nose. Set them aside to dry,

Step 3. I painted the Beard with light grey for the base color. Then I dry brushed the dark grey paint on top of the grey. Sto that I could create strands of hair, Once that was dry I did the same with the Metallic silver paint. I set it a Side to dry.

Step 4. I painted the Leaf from the Wood Shapes Fall Collection with Kelly Green, Burgundy, Brown and some Metallic Bright Gold paints. Bleading the paints.


I also painted the Pumpkin from the Wood Shapes Fall Collection with Orange, Golden Brown, Kelly Green, and Black paint. I set both a side to dry.

Step 5.  I traced the hat onto the back of the pattern paper and cut it out. 

I then adhered the paper to the hat with Plaid Mod Podge for paper.


Step 6. Now that all the parts of the Clear Scraps Extra Large Gnome # 2 with Stand are dry we can start assembling. I adhered the stand first. Then I place it under some heavy tiles to dry. Next I adhere the Gnomes hat and beard to the base of the gnome.

 

Then, I adhered some foam tabs and velcro to the hands, the leaf and pumpkin.

I also adhere the velcro to the gnome's beard. 
This will allow me to change the leaf with the pumpkin for Halloween. 
** Clear Scraps carries other Wood Shapes that you can use for the other holidays.



Lastly, I inserted the gnome into the stand
. ** Note: I didn't adhere my Gnome into the stand because I want to store it after the Fall holidays and He would fit into my storage tote with the stand.

Now the Gnome is complete!

Here's another look at our Gnome project.
