Welcome to the Altered Basics Blog Hop! The Clearsnap Design Team is inking and altering our Basic Necessities, a variety of packaging materials and containers released at the CHA-W 2012 show in Anaheim, CA earlier this year.
These "Basics" allow you to create custom inkpads, mix your own color combinations of Smooch Spritz and glitter, as well as provide a blank canvas for cute altered gifts, like the adorable tins our My Frist ColorBox Stamps are packaged in.
You might recognize packaging from some of your favorite Clearsnap products like the salt shaker style jars from the Donna Salazar Designs Fairy Dust Glitter, an uninked ColorBox inkpad, and the Clear Boxes our Smooch Spritz Assortment Packs are packaged in. We think these Basic Necessities will allow your creativity to soar!
I altered the salt shaker style jar and the tin.
For the salt shaker jar, I started by applying Fly Away Design Adhesives to the jar. I added Ocean Spray, Cotton Candy and Peridot glitter.
The Design Adhesives adhere to the glass jar without any problems and once the glitter is applied it does not rub off.
I filled the jar with vintage buttons and I am using it to display some of my pins.
My second project is an altered tin. This tin measures 3 1/4” x 3 1/4”. The tin is used for our new My Frist ColorBox Stamps.
I covered the front with a piece of paper that was stamped with Paint Splatter 2 and Watermark ink. I heat embossed it with Honey Pearl embossing powder and sprayed with Sea Kiss Smooch Spritz.
I adhered the cardstock to the tin using SuperTape 1/4” by Therm O Web. I made a little tissue paper flower that I sprayed with Gold Glow Smooch Spritz.
The outside edge is covered with SuperTape 1/4” by Therm O Web and ribbon.
For the inside, I created a color swatch with all my Smooch Spritz. I cut the cardstock to fit inside (3 1/8” x 3 1/8”), rounded the corners and punched a hole for the ring.
I lined up all my Smooch Spritz and started spraying each piece of cardstock.
I wrote the name of each color on the sheet.
The ring with all the swatch colors fits inside and there is room for more.
