Next select you paints and apply the colours using a brush.

Next use a background stamp over the top of the circles.
Next colour in your main images and then cut them out before sticking them down.

ScraPerfect Mermaid Shaker Card

Hi all

I am back with a mixed media shaker card this week.

Start off by applying a stencil to a blank card using modelling mask. Use washi tape to keep the stencil in place.

Spray the whole card with mist spray and leave to dry.

Use  a die to cut out a Polaroid style frame from craft foam and apply Best Glue Ever to the back.

Glue the frame down to patterned paper and cut it out.

Use the die again to cut out a piece from another sheet of patterned paper and one from acetate.  Fill the box with sequins and then glue the acetate over the top and then add the patterned paper over the top. 

Glue down the shaker box and then add some dyed cheese cloth around the edge. Stamp out a mermaid and colour it in before adding it to the card.

Add some embellishments and finish with a sentiment.

How To Create A Double Heart Shaker Card With ScraPerfect

Hello all

I have a card to share today. I used Best Glue Ever to glue the embellishments and shaker boxes together.

http://scraperfect.com/product/best-glue-ever/

Start off by cutting out one large heart from patterned paper using a nesting die. Then one  from acetate for the top. Place a smaller heart die into the centre of the larger heart and secure with washi tape. Cut out two or more from craft foam. This depends on how deep you want the shaker boxes. Cut a frame from patterned paper.

Repeat the steps using a smaller pair of nesting dies and then glue the foam frames together before gluing to the base. once the glue has set, fill the boxes and then glue the top on. Add the frame cut from pattered paper over the top to cover the glue up.

Cover a blank card with paper and then stamp a texture stamp around the edges and in the centre. Glue down the shaker boxes.

Decorate with charms and flowers which were inked with bronze mist spray.

Finish with a sentiment

How To Create A Stunning Steampunk ATC

Hi all

I made an ATC or Artist Trading Card. I used mixed media products and Best Glue Ever to create this steampunk look.

http://scraperfect.com/

 Cover the ATC base with gesso and then paint with bronze paint. Using sanding paper, Sand down the first layer and leave a little showing.

Next apply the Prima Rust pastes starting with the darkest colored paste and finishing by dry brushing the lightest color over the top. Don't worry about covering the ATC from corner to corner as this adds to the effect.

                   The last layer is just a bit of Turquoise paint which i brushed on roughly.

Next i stamped out some cog images onto card and cut them out. Next i painted rust paste over the top and left them to dry. I also used small MDF cogs and i used Best Glue Ever to adhere them to the ATC. Once tacky the Best Glue Ever sticks to rough surfaces.

I added gold micro beads around the ATC

i finished off by adding a sentiment

How To Decorate A MDF Advent Calendar With Best Glue Ever

Hi all

I am up on the Scraperfect blog today with an altered Advent calendar using Best Glue Ever.

Start off by coating the mdf with gesso or white paint. This is so the next paint layer doesn't soak into the wood.

Once the first layer has dried ,apply the top coat of paint. I choose traditional colours.

I used a number die cut set and used brown craft foam. I then used Best Glue Ever to adhere them to the draws.

I then gathered up a selection of small embelishments and gems and used Best Glue Ever to adhere them to the draws.

I added small gems and pearls to the Christmas trees by adding small blobs of glue. I used the fine tipped cap which makes it easier to  add glue to small pieces.

How to create a textured mixed media card

Hi all

I have a mixed media Christmas card to share using Best Glue Ever.

http://scraperfect.com/product/best-glue-ever/

I used Brusho powders on the card base and then used ExpandeIt on the edges which when heated turns into a foam. I then inked over it and added gold glitter paint.

I added some lace across the card.

I cut out two stars one from paper and one from Lutradur material. I added more ExpandIt to the star and applied heat. Material is difficult to glue down but Best Glue Ever has no problem with this. I added a bark star to the center of the star and added a charm.  

Next i eanted to add the bead trim around the center of the card so i added blobs of Best Glue Ever and let it set a little before carefully wrapping the bead trim around the focal point 

I finished off with a sentiment sticker.

How To Create A Dazzling Christmas Decoration

Hi all

I am back with a quick Christmas make showing how Best Glue Ever can be used to create fesive decore.

Start off by taking the letters and painting some red and adding decoupage paper to the rest of the letters.

Leave it to dry and then use Best Glue ever to cover the letters with gems and pearls. Best Glue Ever sets tacky so really small embellishments stay stuck and do not drop off once the glue starts to dry.

Once everything has set. Use Best Glue Ever to glue the letters together to form one word. This glue is great for wood as once it sets it sticks tight.
