I Can See Clearly Now - Opus Gluei Challenge # 57

Opus Gluei wants you to use clear sheets this week.

Here are a few of the things I came up with:

.

.

This is my first project. I didn't post it on the Opus Gluei site, because I haven't figured out what I want to do with the closure. And I didn't want to post an incomplete project.

.

I don't know what possessed me to make a Halloween Candy Box.

But this is what came to my mind.

.

.

I knew that the mice would look cool.

And forgive me for saying, THEY DO!

It's a Martha Stewart border punch.

So is the dripping goo at the top.

Unfortunately, I can't remember who makes the skull and cross bones stamp.

Or the cool spider paper on the top. Sorry.

And now to switch gears to something SOOOO not creepy...

.

.

.

I knew I would make a card. I need a girlie, blingy card, so here it is.
.

And I knew I wanted to make something with one of my Spanish Stampin' Up sets.

.

Then this little owl stamp just spoke to me.

.

.

CARD: I used a premade journal spot, turned it on edge. Then I put a border of adhesive (I love my ATG gun). And scrunched ribbon along the edge AND stuck it to the center of the card front. I used a Cocoa Daisy stamp, fussy cut around it and glittered the girl. YUM. I applied the bling sticker before I popped up the Cameo. Then stuck on the pretty pink flowers. The inside is corner stamped for a bit more interest.

CANDY BOX: I scanned the tutorial on SplitCoastStampers. I remembered that the bottom and top were made using 3 inch squares and that the column was scored using 1 & 15/16 inch increments. From there I just winged it. (I'll go back to see if there is something I could have done easier. Bit too late for this one, but I WILL be making these again.) I taped everything together and then decided that I wanted th ribbon to be on the inside of the bottom, but on the outside of the sides, so I pushed the sided of the box away from the adhesive and shoved the ribbon through the bottom. It wasn't so elegant, but very successful. I like this little box. Have I mentioned that???

.

.

INCHIE: Was an afterthought. Honestly. For some reason (???) I had this little stamp just hanging out. Then I had this little scrap of acetate and put the two together. I stamped with Staz-On, then colored, and finally punched the inchie out. He's a cutie pie.

Thanks for looking.

I would love to see what you can come up with using Clear sheets.
