Embellished Acrylic Heart Card taught by Clear Scraps


It's show and tell here at the blog! I want to hear a lot of oooh and aaahh out there?! LOL.


Look at this beauty!! I was truly introduced to the world of quality clear acrylic cards by Clear Scraps last month at the Creating Keepsakes Convention (CKC) Lancaster PA. It was an advanced class in card making the blew my mind! This is one of the card kits they sell in the booth. I bought several card kits to complete at a later date.

Here's the inside- YES the heart interlocks to close the card!! So exciting. They have several interlocking designs. We used 3D stemple paint by viva decor to color the heart, Krylon silver paint pens to outline the card and color the swirls. I learned that only adhesives like Beacon 3 in 1 or Zip dry truly work with acrylic cards. If you use anything else it will not adhere for a lifetime. I'd definitely take their classes again AND I'm only registering for advanced classes from now on. So worth my time and $$!



Here's what I bought from the booth.  I got several of their kits, 3D stemple paint, window paint and a detailing tip for my glue. Class goers got a free gift. I picked a tag that is very thick and used for home decor. I think I might make a Christmas ornament out of it. I am thinking about joining their kit of the month club!!


So what do you think? Have you or will you ever try clear cards?
