Hi there!
I'm happy to share a home decor project created for Clear Scraps.
This is a tea themed printer tray using the Square Printer Tray and the new Mini Shaker Teapot.
I started this project by pulling out the 5 pieces of the printer tray.
2 of the chipboard cutout pieces were glued together.
I applied double sided tape to the edges of the chipboard back piece.
A piece of 12 x 12 inch card stock was adhered to the back.
Gold gilding wax was applied to the 3rd chipboard cutout piece and set aside.
I pulled out a coordinating paper pad and an assortment of dies from Crafter’s Companion to use for decorating the tray.
Die cutting was done.
Patterned papers were cut to 4 x 4 inches for some of the squares of the tray.
I started adding the patterned papers.
The die cuts were added to each section of the tray.
The protective film was removed from the acrylic divider.
The acrylic divider and top chipboard cutout piece were adhered to the tray.
The last part of the project is to put the shaker together.
I started by painting the chipboard pieces with acrylic paint.
Adhere 2 of the 3 chipboard forms together.
This piece is then adhered to the chipboard back.
Next, add shaker pieces.
Remove protective film from both sides of the acrylic piece.
Adhere the acrylic to the chipboard filled with shaker pieces.
Add the top chipboard piece to the acrylic.
I added some gold gilding wax to the teapot.
The teapot was added to the lower right fray front to finish.
I love the way this “My Cup of Tea” Printer Tray project came out and hope you do too!

What a fabulous project, Judy! You really created a true work of art from this printer tray. Love the theme and all of the intricate, delicate die cuts. And sealed with an acrylic cover is the best! This will be a memento to pass down in years to come. The shaker tea pots is the perfect final touch. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above's January, "Anything Goes With A Die Cut" Challenge.
