An A2 Card with Pool Party Colors, Cold Element & Checks

Hey there!

Once again I am sharing a card created with products from

Pajama Crafter Stamps and inspired by Craft Roulette!

Of course, the starting point was the parameters from Episode #37.

Creating an A2 project is easy to do. No problem there.

Combining Pool Party Colors with a Cold or Chilly Element & Checks

took a little more thought.

I knew I had a set of Christmas Wishes Flashcards with snowflakes that

would cover the Cold or Chilly parameter along with a cute image with some snow

which is part of the Christmas Peeks Stamps that would be a great focal.

I think of aqua colors when I think of pools and I needed something to cover Checks.

So, I pulled out a patterned paper from the Spring Plaids Paper Pad in aqua shades, and,

well it's a plaid, so my colors & checks are covered.

To put it all togerether, I stamped and colored the focal with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.

I chose a flashcard with a diagonal snowflake design and chose to foil with silver foil.

I love that the flashcards from Pajama Crafter Stamps are foilable!

To add the pool party colors, I went with an aqua card base.

Cut a piece of the plaid paper with a diagonal edge for top left corner.

A narrow strip is placed along the bottom.

I popped my cute focal with foam tape in the lower right corner.

The sentiment "Peace" is die cut with

Christmas Words with Shadow Die.

To finish I added a few Girl's Best Friend Rhinestone Mix Embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Just a Card with a Fall Vibe

Hey there!

Jumping in today with a card created for

Conie Fong Art & Design!

I love coloring Conie's digital stamps.

Well, let's be real, I love coloring anything, but images

of this type are my favorites to color.

This beauty is from the

Butterfly Wishes Kisses Bundle.

Now, most would probably color an image like this in

spring or summer colors, but I thought I'd go with fall colors

because, after all, fall is in the air.

I colored with Prismacolor pencils and die cut.

A fallish pattern paper that happened to be on my desk was

layered onto the card base.

I place an embossed panel over on the left side.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut.

I didn't feel that anything else was needed!

Thanks so much for stopping by and

taking a look at today's project!

Vintage Inspired Printer Tray

There’s something timeless about Victorian-inspired artwork—the elegant ladies, delicate florals, ornate details, and romantic vintage imagery. Judy here and for this Clear Scraps project, I transformed a printer tray into a decorative piece that celebrates all of those beautiful elements while creating a cohesive collage of vintage-inspired scenes.

I am using the Rectangle/Square Printer Tray Frame.

Creating the Tray

I began by selecting a collection of Victorian-style images featuring elegant ladies, florals, fashion, and romantic details. I sized the images to fit the individual openings of the printer tray, creating a variety of focal points throughout the design.

The printed images were adhered to the backside of one of the the chipboard cutouts, carefully arranging them so that the larger portraits and dress form image balanced the smaller floral and text elements.

Once the images were in place, I adhered a second cutout piece on top. this second piece helps add a little depth, if wanting to add dimensional pieces. The double layered cutout piece was then adhered to the chipboard back.

I especially love the combination of the fashionable Victorian ladies with the vintage dress form and floral imagery. The printed book text in the upper center compartment adds another wonderful layer of historical character.

Finishing Tray Construction

Next, I painted the third cutout piece with a soft pink acrylic paint.

Remove the protective film from both sides the acrylic divider.

Adhere the acrylic piece to the tray. The painted cutout is added on top.

Adding the Details

For an extra touch of elegance, I added ornate gold corner embellishments to the four outside corners of the tray. The gold beautifully complements the antique feel of the Victorian artwork and provides a decorative frame around the entire piece.

Clusters of pink and cream paper flowers with greenery were placed at several of the intersections between compartments. Repeating the floral clusters helps lead the eye around the entire project while adding dimension and softness to the vintage imagery.

I also added subtle gold accents around the individual sections, with a metallic paint pen, to help define the compartments and give the finished piece a more polished, vintage appearance.

A Little Vintage Romance

One of my favorite things about altered projects is taking a functional or unfinished piece and giving it an entirely new personality. The Clear Scraps Printer Tray was perfect for this project because all of those individual compartments provide so many opportunities for creating little vintage scenes.

Rather than filling every space with embellishments, I allowed the beautiful printed artwork to remain the star of the project. The flowers and ornate corners simply enhance the imagery without overwhelming it.

The finished printer tray has a romantic Victorian parlor feel, almost like a collection of treasured photographs, fashion plates, and keepsakes gathered together in one display.

This project is a wonderful reminder that Clear Scraps pieces can be transformed into so much more than their original purpose suggests. With a few beautiful images, coordinating embellishments, and a little creativity, a simple printer tray becomes a dimensional piece of vintage-inspired home décor.

I hope this Victorian-inspired project gives you some ideas for creating your own collection of vintage treasures with Clear Scraps!
