Thank you Very Mush Shaker Card With Clear Scraps

  Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a mushroom themed shaker card featuring a easy to assemble shaker from Clear Scraps.



Supplies Used:
Clear Scraps Mini Mushroom Shaker
Apple Barrel Paints: Cardinal Crimson, White, & Nutmeg Brown
Stampin' Up: Little Foxy 6x6 Paper Pad
Teal Blue 100 lb Cardstock
White 110lb Cardbase
Brutus Monroe: Mushroom Garden Stamp Set
VersaFine Ink - Onyx Black
Dare 2B Artzy: Rectangle Framelits Die Set
 Shaker Mix
Bearly Art Glue & Foam Tape
Tuny Red gems
Tools: Paint Brush, Paint palette, 
Paper Towels, Water, Craft Mat

Step. 1 - I painted the base of the mushroom and the top layer of the mushroom's shaker part. I masked off the stem so not to be any red paint on it.


Then, I painted the tops with red paint and the stem with a cream paint. (I mixed white and nutmeg brown paint together to get the color I wanted). Set them a side to dry.


Step. 2 -  Next, I adhered the two inner parts of the mushroom shaker. Set it to day.

Step. 3 - While the mushroom shaker parts where drying I stamped the sentiment onto die cut cardstock with VersaFine ink. 

Step. 4 -I gathered all the items to make the shaker. I love putting Clear Scraps shakers because no foam tape is needed in the assembly.  

You just adhere the two inner chipboard shapes together then adhere them onto your base. Then, Fill the shaker with your mix. Next put some adhesive onto the edge of the base.

 I remove the film on both sides of the acetate that comes with your shaker.
Then, Place onto the base.

Finally, Adhere the painted layer onto the shaker. 
I placed the shaker under heavy acrylic blocks  the glue to dry.

Step 5. - Let's make our card. I die cut my pattern paper panels so that they are about a 1/4" smaller than my layering cardstock.

Then, I trimmed the zigzag pattern paper to 1-1/2" tall. I then adhered all the layers together onto the card base.

The Mushroom shaker is dry and ready to be add to the card front. I adhered it and popped the sentiment up. Placing it onto the stem of the mushroom.

Then I used a stylis and some of the creamy paint to add a few dots to the mushroom top.

Now, the card is complete!

Welcome Decorative Fence with Clear Scraps

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun project featuring
This is a quick and easy project. I have 5 simple steps to help you create your own decorative fence.

Supplies Used:

My Stash
Apple Barrel Paints: Kings Gold, Laguna, Carribean, Kelly Green, & Limeade
Crafts Smart Paint: Matte Vanilla, Grey, & Dark Grey
 Artifical Flowers: Yellow 
My Mind's Eye Gems: Grey
Vinyl Letter Stickers
Fine Point Sharpie: Black
Pixie Spray
Masking Tape
Ad Tech Glue Tool & Glue Sticks
Brushes (2" wide & No.2 Small) 
Craft/Make-up Sponges
Paper Towels


Step 1. - I started by placing the vinyl letter stickers onto one of the slates from 
the Fence Shiplap Shape Medium; then I spainted over them with the Grey paint.
 I set it aside to dry.


Step 2
. -  Next, I painted the 
Fence Shiplap Shape Medium and the other slate with the grey paint.  I wiped off some of the paint with a paper towel to give it a more rustic look. Set it aside to dry.

Step 3. - The slate is dry I remove the vinyl letters and paint in the letter spaces with the Dark Grey paint.

Step 4. - Next, I placed the 6" Bird of Branch Stencil onto
 the Fence Shiplap Shape Medium using a bit of pixie spray to hold the stencil in place

Then, I masked the leaves and branch with making tape. I used some make-up sponges to daub some paint through the stencil onto the fence.

I removed the making tape andcontined to daub the paint through stencil onto the fence to complete the image. I then removed the stencil and washed it.

Step 5. - It's time to assemble the Fence Shiplap Shape Medium. I adhered the top slate tothe fence using a bit hot glue. I repated the process with the bottom slate. I then adhered the flowers to the bottom left corner of the fence. I also colored in the birds eye with a black sharpie

For a finishing touch I added a few gems to the ends of the top slate and 
to the center of the flower.

The Project is now complete!
