Summer Beach Cards and Shakers -Creative Embellishments and Buttons Galore

Traditional and Shaker Style Summer Cards

Hi friends.  I'd like to share some cards with a warm beach theme featuring products from Creative Embellishments and Buttons Galore and More.  
Sunshine in a card. 

   Creative Embellishments has some fabulous shells and beach related chipboard designs to help make summer card creating super easy.  

Here are the chipboard pieces I used on the cards featured today:

My first card is a shaker.  
When creating a card, I am always envisioning the person who will receive the card.  When the card is a shaker, I know the reaction is going to be one of joy and amusement. 

It's impossible to have a shaker card without the shaker mix, right?  While doing some on-line shopping, I came across a very unique company that specializes in blending the perfect shaker mix. 
yep, true.  

As far as  shaker mixes, Buttons Galore and More  has a rainbow of colors and a variety of options to make you smile from ear to ear.  The magic is in the mix.  

The product I used on this shaker is called Sparkletz - with some gems, beads, unique sequins, acrylic droplets and more.  




My chipboard treatments are minimal - meaning I kept things easy and didn't spend too much time altering the chipboard.  I dabbed the chipboard, Starfish and Sand Dollars
Sea Shells and Fancy Rectangle Frame with white acrylic paint, making sure to leave some of the natural chipboard color showing.

Here are the papers I used on the cards today.  
The papers used on this collection are from Ciao Bella - Summer Tales collection.

The second card features some of my favorite sun loving birds - the flamingo.  I recently saw some flamingos in person and was captivated by their grace.  
I was equally captivated by the watercolor effect papers by Alexandra Renke.
               






Thanks for stopping here.
