WE have been working hard at making our website very user friendly for consumer to store owner. Please check out our revisions we have been doing. We added a Project tab, this is where you can come as often as you'd like and print off class instruction sheets on many of our albums. TVWeekly.com released our webisode and I hope this helps show how easy our product is to work with. Also, all the possibilities you can do are absolutley endless!! I hope you find your visit to our site very useful. Check back later today to see the NEW class instruction sheet we will be offering. It is the album showed at the end of TVWeekly.com webisode. Very easy to do, and beautiful when done!! Thank you for taking the time to read our blog. I look forward to showing you many more ideas and techniques along the way. Our GREAT designers have been hard at work. Jackie

Tips for Clear Scraps Products!

Thank you to all for finding our product, now let me let you in on a secret or two about our product! When you buy Clear Scraps, the protective coating is still on each piece, & on BOTH sides. We place a sticker on the back, notifying you to remove plastic coating before embellishing. (You don't want us to remove it for you, as it could get scratched in shipping :)) You will want to start to to peel the coating off by rubbing a hole in the coating with your finger nail, once you have a hole started in the coating, take your finger nail and peel it right off!
If you have any "coating strays" along the edges, no problem, just by sliding your finger nail along the edge, it comes off with ease. This is from the heat of the machine cutting them, and the plastic sticking to the edge. (We LOVE having smooth edges!!) See how crystal clear it is under that protective coating, that is what were after so we can start manipulating this product & have some FUN!!
If necessary, feel free to run your Clear Scraps Product under warm water to clean away any finger prints you may have just put on it! We all want a clean slate before we begin, as with "Acrylic" you can see through it, right?? Once you have it cleaned, just take a non abrasive towel (we say a baby birp rag) and dry it off! That is it!! Now you are ready to ink it, emboss it, Crop a dile it, alcohol ink it, EVEN SEW IT!! Yes, our designers have been "sewing" paper right on the product! (I am sure pics will be coming!!) That is what a "Clear Scrap" Item looks like when you are ready to dive in the "Acrylic" craze!!

I hope these few little techniques help anyone who may have questions on Acrylic and what it is!! It is Fun, Easy, & Gorgeous when your done!! Please view our idea gallery for samples on our products! Till next time, Start a Clear Scraps Album Today!! Their Addicting!! Jackie
