Quick & Easy Card
Do you like making quick & easy cards? If so, I have some inspiration for you!
Hi there! Today I'm here with my latest card project created for Pajama Crafter Stamps.
A frame is die cut and the flashcard is cut down to fit behind. Double matting the frame adds a little something extra before adding to my 5 x 6 1/2 inch card base.
Dazzle stickers complete my quick & easy card design.
I am happy with the way my card came out and hope I have given you a little inspiration.

Up-cycle a Wreath with Chipboard Embellishments
Hi there! Today I'm sharing an up-cycled wreath project created for Clear Scraps.
I am taking a wreath made several years ago and adding 2 sets of Fancy Butterfly Chipboard Embellishments and a Mini Shaker Flower.
To add color to the butterflies I first paint with gold paint.
Next I pull out a piece of patterned paper
Trace the butterflies onto the patterned paper and fussy cut.
Adhere paper to back of the butterflies.
The flower shaker is pulled out.
Using the same paper as above, I trace the back solid piece from the shaker set and fussy cut.
Add paper to the flower and glue 2 of the chip form pieces on top
Paint the 3rd form piece.
Add shaker bits to flower
Remove protective film from both sides of the acrylic piece, adhere to the top and glue to shaker base.
Our chipboard embellishments and shaker are finished.
I take out the wreath.
Decided to add a few flowers, so I punched some out of solid color card stock.
Assemble flowers
Add chipboard embellishments and flowers to complete my project.
I hope you like my project and I’ve given you some inspiration for incorporating chipboard embellishments and shakers into your own projects.

Nautical Father's Day Card
Materials
Choosing stamps for the focal and some dies is the first step.
Stamping
My next step is to color the images with Prismacolor Pencils.
Die Cutting & Embossing
Putting the Card Together
Cut a piece of Lessebo Navy Blue 83lb Cardstock to 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches for matting the embossed panel. The embossed panel measures 4 5/8 x 6 1/8 inches.
Take the die cut window and adhere to the focal image.
Mat the panel with embossing with the Lessebo Navy Blue 83lb Cardstock piece cut above.
Also, I add a piece of mesh or netting to the left side for a little more texture.
Pop the window piece onto the panel with embossing with foam tape. Stamp a sentiment on Cougar White Smooth CardStock and fussy cut and adhere with foam tape.
Finally, add the ship's wheel die cut, rope and anchor/life ring.
Thanks for sopping by and taking a look at my Nautical Father's Day Card project!

May Morgan's ArtWorld Challenge
Pink & Yellow Mother's Day Card
I am using Lovely Bouquet Stamps for this card. This clear stamp set includes one large floral, and two smaller floral images, along with two sentiments. Sentiments include Happy Mother's Day and I love you It is appropriate many occasions.
Before I start my project I know I want to use the large image and back it with inking.
I stamp onto white card stock and color with Prismacolor Pencils. And, of course, as is my usual, fussy cut.
Ink blending with pink and yellow inks on a white card stock will serve as my background. I trim the panel down to 3 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches. Cut a 1 1/2 x 6 1/4 strip of white card stock on one edge with a border die. Adhere the white strip to the right side of the inked panel and add yellow ribbon where the 2 pieces come together. Pop the floral image onto the panel with foam tape.
Add the panel to a green 5 x 6 1/2 inch card base.
I stamp the "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment on white card stock and trim to a narrow strip. Adhere near the bottom of the card.
To finish, I add Knock Out Pink Rhinestones.
