Hi there! I'm here today with a fun project created for Clear Scraps!
It’s the end of August and the holidays will be here before we know it!
I know, I can’t believe it either. It seems we just celebrated them and it’s time to get ready again! So if you are wanting to get started with some handmade gifts or, holiday decor items you might enjoy this project.
The products used were introduced last month.
Noel Chipboard Punchout Embellishments
Construct the lids by layering and gluing 3 of the included rings together. Next, add the piece with the hole in the middle and finish with the last ring. This is the top of the lid. The solid wood circle will be embellished and inserted into the lid top.
I painted the lid with black acrylic paint. You can leave it raw or paint it or ink it to add some color.
The 3 included wood circles were painted.
My chosen chipboard embellishments were punched out and decorated.
I painted the stocking with green acrylic paint and added white flocking to the top. I also added some glitter glue later.
The snowman was painted with acrylic paint. Black pearls were added later for his eyes and a piece of ribbon was fashioned into a scarf.
I painted the holly first and then added glitter glue.
Adhere the chipboard to the painted wood circles and add any other embellishments desired.
Each of the decorated circles can be changed out on the top of the lid.
Add these lids to your Mason Jars that are filled with candy or other goodies to give as gifts or decorate your home. They are cute and easy to put together!
I hope you have enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Hi there! I'm here with my last Tres Jolie Kit Club Guest Designer project for this month using the Cards, Tags and More Kit for August 2024.
I am creating an altered frame so I pulled the items I think will work well from the card kit and also some from this month’s mixed media kit. These items include 3, 6 x 6 inch papers and various Creative Cuts from the card kit and the frame, gold paint and texture crust from the mixed media kit.
Paint the frame with the gold paint.
Choose a paper from the card kit for the frame opening and cut down to 6 x 4 1/8 inches. Mount this onto a piece of sturdy card stock measuring 6 1/8 x 4 1/8 inches. Round the corners.
Take 2 other pieces of paper and time to 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches. These are mounted onto a plain piece of cardstock measuring 6 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches.
One of these pieces will slightly overlap the other.
Line this piece up evenly over the frame opening, hold in place while turning over facedown on your work surface. Trace around the frame opening with a pencil. Cut the center of this piece out, forming a frame.
Adhere this frame piece on the front of the wood frame around the opening. Take the texture crust and apply around the edge of the frame opening. I used a pallet knife.
Paint the texture crust with the gold paint.
I also added some bakers twine around the outside edge of the paper frame.
Place the piece that is cut for the frame opening in place. Add Creative Cuts. I combined 2 of the pieces to form an inspirational message, “You Are Awesome” for the frame opening.
I used foam tape and glue to apply my die cuts.
Thanks so much for checking out my project! I hope I have provided some inspiration for you.

Hey there! It's Judy here with my latest project for CutCardStock. Putting together a Classroom Door Sign is fun and pretty easy. This is a great idea for those teacher family members or friends you may have.
I am using an MDF scrolled edge sign as the base. It measure approximately 10 x 8 inches.
The solid card stocks I am using are DCS Discount Card Stock: Black, Lessebo Colors Premium Cherry RED Card Stock, Basis BLUE Card Stock, Lessebo Colors Premium SUNSET Orange Card Stock.
Cougar White Smooth Card Stock is perfect for printing digital clip art and pattern papers.
Cut card stock and pattern papers to layer onto the base.
Sunset pieces are 9 x 6 3/4 inches and 6 x 6 inches. Black piece measures 8 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches. Red Plaid Print measures 8 5/8 x 6 3/8 inches. Cut the Apple Print to 5 7/8 x 5 7/8 inches.
I die cut a layered, scrolled frame with pieces of Black and Sunset card stock
Decorative Elements
Letters, numbers and banner die cuts are cut out of Red, Blue and White card stock. The clip art is fussy cut.
To spell the teacher's name add the white letters to the banner die cuts. Punch holes in the top of each piece and run twine through. Layer Red and blue numbers and letters for a shadow effect.
Add all of the above elements to the base. Run twine through the holes at the top of the sign and knot in front.
The project is complete.
Thanks for taking a look at my Classroom Door Sign project!

Hi there! I'm here with my 2nd Guest Designer project for Tres Jolie Kit Club using the Cards, Tags and More Kit for August.
This time around I am creating a birthday card and coordinating gift bag.
I gathered items from the card kit I thought I would use and a few other items.
The edges of a 5 x 7 inch card base were inked with Brilliance coffee bean ink. I also inked the top, sides and bottom of one of the chipboard tags from the kit.
A piece of brown metallic card stock was cut to 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches to mat a piece of patterned paper measuring 4 x 6 inches.
I cut a piece of another pattern paper to 5 1/2 x 3 inches and adhered to the tag.
Adhere the tag piece to the matted piece at angle.
Cut a piece of the trim from the scrapbook kit to add to the lower part of the matted piece with the tag and adhere to the back.
Add the matted piece to the card base, leaving an even border all the way around.
Time to add embellishments.
I used one of the larger die cuts from the Creative Cuts pack.
One of the Junkyard find pieces was added over the hole in the top of the tag.
A sentiment and some of the floral and a gear from the Creative Cuts were added.
3 flowers from the 49 & Market pac were added to finish the card design.
To construct a 9 x 6 x 3 inch bag, start with two 12 x 12 pieces of card stock. I used 2 pieces from this month’s Scrapbook Kit that is a very pale green polkadot print.
Score on 3 sides of both pieces at 3 inches.
Next I cut from the outside edge along the horizontal score line to the vertical lines on one piece.
On the second piece cut to remove the outside squares on the bottom.
To add a decorative edge to the top of the bag, cut 2 strips of patterned paper
2 3/4 x 12 inches.
Score at 1 inch along the long side of each strip.
Just a note that it is easier to use a paper versus a card stock.
I used a 12 x 12 paper from my stash I thought coordinated well with the other materials.
The score line goes over the top edge of the of the large pieces with 2 inches along the outside and 1 inch on the inside.
To form the bag adhere the 2 pieces together.
This is done by taking the piece with the 2 squares removed and
adhering the 3 x 6 inch flap onto the center of the other piece between the score lines.
Next fold up the piece just adhered and attach the 2 small flaps to the sides along the inside.
Fold up the other piece and attach both on the outside edges to form the bag.
To coordinate the bag with the birthday card, I basically made another card to add to the front side.
I cut a mat out of brown metallic card stock measuring 5 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches and added the 2 left over pieces of pattern paper from the birthday card. These measure 3 x 6 inches and 2 x 6 inches.
A piece of the trim was cut and added along with die cuts and and flowers.
Adhere to bag front.
I punched 2 holes on the front and back about 1 1/2 inches in from both sides and
about 1/2 an inch from the top.
I ran ribbon cut to 18 inches through the holes and tied knots to form handles. The knots are tied on the outside, but can be tied inside if you prefer.
One of the Prima Junkyard Finding pieces was added to the top center of the bag.
The bag is complete.
