Seascape Cards and Shakers with Chipboard, Sequins and Foil


Sensational Seascape Cards

Today I want to share some seascape cards using sensational CE chipboard accented with the  Rinea Foil papers.   


All month long, Creative Embellishments has been featuring projects accented with foiled paper collections from Rinea.   The inspiration for my cards today started with the beautiful  Frosted Foil collection pack, full of turquoise and sapphire blues, silver and gold and used as backgrounds for the cards.   You'll see in the card samples how nicely the foils look when textures, like embossing folders, have been added.  

  Look on the Creative Embellishments Blog for a variety of ways to use the fabulous Rinea products.

Here are the chipboard pieces used on the mermaid card;  Mermaid Pair, sand dollar, and a shell.
The starfish and the seashell  chipboard pieces have been given a light whitewash using a sponge (white acrylic paint with water added to thin it out).

The Mermaid chipboard has been sponged with acrylic paints and embellished with sequins from Buttons Galore's Sparkletz collection called "Sea Level" .  I did this by adding a generous amount of Heavy Body Gel medium to the chipboard and placing the sequins into the gel to dry.
The gel dries crystal clear and acts like a super glue to keep the sequins in place. This is such an easy and clean looking way to add sequins and beads to a project ( and have them hold in place).

I added sand colored embossing powder  and more sequins to the background of the card for additional texture accenting the ripped Rinea foil paper.




Here is the second card today, featuring Creative Embellishments  - Gold Fish Shaker .
The shaker base has been heat embossed and filled with shaker mix from Buttons Galore.

The Frosted Foil paper was embossed and scrunched a bit to add extra texture.  After being glued to the card, I added the 3D fish buttons from Buttons Galore, and accent sequin bubbles.

Teddy Bear Shaker Card and Duck Canvas Gift Set for the Baby



Jennifer Snyder here shakin' up projects for kids and baby using some fabulous Creative Embellishments products accented with Rinea Foiled papers- our collaborative crafty partner for the month of March.  


All month, we'll be featuring chipboard creations combined with Rinea products.  



These are the shakers used on my projects.  I created a gift set which includes a baby bath time canvas and card for an upcoming baby shower for a co-worker.  The rubber ducky canvas was the easiest project ever and so adorable.

Here is the card made with Creative Embellishments - Teddy Bear Shaker Set and Lovely Lace chipboard border shaker mix from Buttons Galore and More and rich foil  paper from Rinea. 

Patriotic Slider Pop-up Card
The bear and border chipboard pieces were painted with acrylic paint and backed with the Rinea foil papers on brown and gold. 

The rich brown foil paper used on the base layer of the bear  is from Rinea Autumn Foiled Paper pack.  It's very interesting because when the shaker is tilted in different angles, the foil appears to take on different shades.  

Every cool successful shaker project needs fabulous shaker mix so I used my favorite mix from Buttons Galore, Rose Garden mix in the Shaker Cube .  I think this is honestly my favorite mix because I love the combination of the gold and various pink buttons, beads and sequins.  
It really is quite delicate.

Here is the second project created in the gift set.  This is an 8x8 canvas turned into shaker art.  
I cut a piece of patterned paper to cover the canvas, then added the Creative Embellishments  - Duck Shaker.




The rubber duck is backed with the gold foiled texture paper from Rinea Metallics Foiled paper set and filled with Buttons Galore - Sparkletz - Lucky Charmz  shaker mix.  

This shaker mix is a beautiful soft sequin collection that includes a variety iridescent hearts and stars Kind of dreamy actually.

Creating the Bubbles...
Bath time means bubbles.  In this case, I don't want these bubbles to ever pop or disappear.  My bubbles just happen to be Bohemian buttons from Buttons Galore.   

 I slathered a generous amount of heavy body gel medium to the canvas and set the buttons in place to dry.   I find using heavy body gel medium as the adhesive on canvas (or any other surface) is a quick and simple way to make sure buttons, sequins and embellishments stick to the project as intended.  This dries crystal clear too so so ugly marks left behind.
