Clear Scraps Project Post

Hello! It's Jennifer and I'm back to share one of the new Wood Cards with you today!  These great products can be used as a card or mini album; there are many options!  For today's post,  I  used the Thank You Wood Card that can be used as a gift as well!

I  painted both pieces of the card with a grey chalk paint; chalk paint works well with the Clear Scraps wood because you get full coverage and it dries quickly!

Once my top card was dry, I  used an easy technique to distress the front.  Using a candle, (a tealight size works best), I  applied wax to the front of the card.  I  then applied white chalk paint in small sections scraping it off before it dries.  I  have a short tutorial video below to show you the steps!  

For the inside of my card, I used a Silhouette cut file to create a pocket to hold a gift card and tag. 

I  embellished the outside of the pocket with coordinating ephemera to accent. I  also stitched the outside edges with my sewing machine to secure.  

My pocket is the perfect size for a gift card as well as a tag for adding a sentiment.  I  finished by adding coordinating stickers as well as tying bakers twine to the end. 

Thanks for looking!  I  hope this inspires you to do some creating with one of the Clear Scraps Wood Cards! Have a great day!
