Clear Scraps Project Post

Hello Denise Here to Share this Fun Project with you today.

I was thinking of a fun way to keep memories. We all have recipes or Family get together a that include sharing meals.

Here is a Year around File Box for keeping those memories.

Clear_Scraps_File_Boxes are so easy and quick to put together.
Go bye the Website and check out all of the Styles available and make them any Way or for any season you choose.

I am using some other Clear_Scraps_Chipboard_embellishments besides the File_Box.

I have the 4x6_RainyDay_stencil
and the Fence _Chipboard Embellishments

I've used Clear Gesso to cover the File_Box completely.

Then I used different Acrylic paints to achieve what I wanted for the base.

I of course forgot to paint before assembly.
It’s not a problem to go and finish after putting together. I like the distressed effect.

I used gold to finish the edges again in a distressed manner ,just keeping some off, so it’s a bit streaky looking , but aged I think so ,I love how it’s coming together.

Here’s how I handled the Fence_Embellishments and how I used the RainyDay_Stencil.

Now that I’ve applied the Solar Paste and then the Guilding wax

i blend them together to give a old aged fence look.

I think I achieved the desired effect and now it’s time to decorate the File_Box.

I really love the umbrella and wanted to use it.

So I thought hmm how about the sides.

I mixed the Solar paste and some texture paste.

to get a frosting look.

The Umbrella fits perfect so I will do both sides of this File_Box.

I made some of the lacy Rosettes to give more dimension for the embellishments.

I found the perfect flowers and some sentiments and stickers for my project.

The tiny metal feet worked perfectly so I glued those on as well.

Here’s all of the sides showing you how I finished this fun Project.

The sides needed a little something so I added the butterflies.

I really enjoyed making this and hope you’re inspired to make one for yourself.
Clear Scraps is full of fun DIY products, and what you need to make whatever you can think of.

Have a Happy Crafty Day 🥳🩵
