Spring Tier Tray with Clear Scraps

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun project featuring the Clear Scraps DIY Tier Tray and the Clear Scraps Mini Pallet Flower.

Supplies Used:

Clear Scraps: DIY Tier Tray

Clear Scraps: Mini Pallet Flower

Plaid Paints: White, King's Gold and Aquamarine

Water

Wood Glue

 Masking Tape

Papertowels

Mircofiber Towel

Paint Brush

Sandpaper & Sanding Block

Magnet Sheet

Crinkle Circle Die

Glue Stick & Hot Glue Tool

Let's get started!

I start by gathering the supplies for the Clear Scraps: Mini Pallet Flower.

I die cut the circle from making tape.

I  adhere the die cut making tape circle to the center of the Clear Scraps: Mini Pallet Flower. 

Pressing it firmly onto the center.

I paint the entire Clear Scraps: Mini Pallet Flower white.

I remove the making tape and paint the center with the golden paint.

I set the Clear Scraps: Mini Pallet Flower to the side to dry.

Next, I gather the pieces of the Clear Scraps: DIY Tier Tray

I start by painting the sides of the Clear Scraps: DIY Tier Tray with the Aquamarine paint that has been watered down a bit. I quick wipe off the paint with a papertowel creating a wash affect on the pieces. I repeat the process on all the pieces of the Clear Scraps: DIY Tier Tray

Then, once the pieces are dry(they dry quickly with the wash effect) I sand the edges of  all the pieces. This gives the pieces a rustic look. Which goes perfectly with my kitchen. 

I repeat this on all the pieces even the flower.

Now, it's time to assemble the Clear Scraps: DIY Tier Tray. I put a bit of wood glue on the tab of the bottom tier and the sides of the pieces. I insert them into the slots. I tape the sides using the palm of my hand to make sure they are completely inserted. Repeat for the top tier.

I glue the little strips or edges of each tier in place.

I use a bit of making tape to hold them until the glue dries

(because I do not own mini wood clamps).

Once the tier tray is dry I add strip of magnet sheet to the back of the flower and to the right hand corner of the bottom tier. I adhered the magnet with a bit of hot glue.

This will be where I will change the decorative piece with the other fabulous pieces of wood shapes that Clear Scraps has to offer for the seasons and holidays.

Now, the Clear Scraps: DIY Tier Tray is done!

Lucky Shaker Card with Clesr Scraps

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun shaker card featuring
 the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock .

Supplies Used:

Clear Scraps:  Mini Shaker Shamrock 

Plaid Paints: Kelly Green & Metallic Emerald

Cardstock: Dark Green, Medium Green, & White

Shimmer Cardstock: Gold

Shamrock Pattern Paper

White Cardbase

Pretty Pink Posh Die: Lucky

Dare 2B Artzy Dies: Rectangle Framelits

Shaker Bits

Bearly Art Glue

Tools: Paint Brush, & Paper Towels

Let's get Started.

I start by painting the back and front of the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock .

  Then, set them aside to dry.

Next, I adhere the two inner pieces together. I place them under a heavy tile to dry.

While the pieces of the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock  dry I adhere the pieces of the die cut sentiment together. I die cut 2 from white cardstock and 2 from shimmer cardstock. I adhere them together to make a thick chipboard piece. Then, I adhere it to the back piece.

Next, I gathered all the cardstock, pattern paper and card base together and adhered them.

Now that my Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock  pieces are dry it's time to put the shaker together.

I start by adhering the acetate piece to the back of the front piece. 

Set it aside under the heavy tile for a bit.

Next, I adhere the inner pieces to the back of the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock  and clean up any adhesive that is showing. I also put a bit of anti-static powder in the shaker(not shown but a tip).

Next, I fill the back piece with the shaker bits and adhere the top of the

 Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock  and place it under a heavy tile for about a minute. 

Once the shaker is dry it's time to add it the card.

I adhere the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock  to the card.

I adhere the sentiment on top of the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock. I placed it towards the bottom of the shaker.

Finally, I add a few shaker bits and a clay two-tone heart to the card.

The card is now complete!
