This is a fun and easy project that brightens up any entertaining space!
The lazy days of summer are just about over, so I thought a shaker card with real sand from Clearwater Beach, Florida might be a fun card to send someone in the north, to remind them of their vacation memories.
Remember the days when we drove around with Thomas Guides in our cars? Big books of maps that not only helped you navigate the area but you had to learn how to navigate the book! Today the maps are likely outdated but quite useful for all sorts of projects.
Isn't it funny all of the little bits and pieces you collect on a road trip...everything from bottle caps, sea shells collected on the beach, sand saved in tiny bottles to the tacky tourist offerings like plastic hula dolls, pink rubber flamingos and the ever popular key chains. Well this kitschy shadow box is just the ticket to save all those funky bits in one place.
The big canvas has room for every single State, but doesn’t presents them in a usual map view. The states are listed in alphabetical order. See how I created these with letter die cuts.
Show your thanks with this shimmering bold sentiment from Artist in Residence Carisa Zglobicki.
Flag Day is huge in my household. Show your patriotism this Flag Day by dressing up a pair of jeans or capris with a stencil and a little ink. As a bonus, you are all set for the 4th of July also! :)
I really adore how this card came out, especially when I took it outside to photograph, the 3D elements cast wonderful shadows over the front of the stark white card stock giving it a completely different look to what I had imagined when I first thought of what to create.
I love red and blue, I love America - so when I have the chance to create something that is so close to my heart I really am in crafting heaven. This card celebrates my love for this amazing country and some real crafting goodness all thrown into one gorgeous themed card.
My summer wardrobe is full of boring plain shirts, how about yours? This year I was so happy to receive some of the gorgeous Memento Luxe inks and have quite literally gone to town jazzing up my clothes with my favorite images. Check it out!
