Coastal Cards with Sentiments- Spellbinders Large Die of the Month

 

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month for April has frames and sentiments to use all year.  These are exactly the type of die sets I enjoy for the versatility.  Such a great value. 

 Here is an image of the"Punch & Pierce "  Spellbinders Large Die of the Month for the month of April.   

Below are the cards created using the Large Die of the Month from Spellbinders.  I just moved closer to the ocean and created some coastal themed cards.  The frame set is perfect for making cards to update my new address near the beach.

  

This card was created using the negative space from the die frame used above.  What does all that crazy talk mean?  In simple terms, I die cut the frame for the card above and realized I loved the leftover paper.  That became the frame for the card below.

Light House Canvas - DIY Home Decor with Creative Embellishments

 

Welcome to the ocean. The ocean is my happy place and I adore creating a variety of coastal projects to keep me as close as I can be to my favorite place.  

Creative Embellishments has a large selection coastal themed products to help with card making, home decor, traditional memory keeping,  scrapbooking, and any crafty idea you can imagine.

Today's feature is an easy  DIY home deco canvas made using Creative Embellishments Wooden Home Decor - Lighthouse and embellished with Creative Embellishments Seagull Set and Starfish and Sand Dollars

Creative Embellishments Seagull Set

 

The wood wooden Home Decor - Lighthouse  piece is fairly large (4.2" wide and 12" tall ) so I selected an 8"x 10" canvas for the project.  The paper background is a sheet of patterned paper from Stamperia's Sea Land 12x12 collection. It's also the backing behind the wood light house.  

I think I am on my 4th reorder of this gorgeous collection.  

I used a sea sponge and dabbed the wood light house with white  and light blue acrylic paint - but did not cover the whole piece. I tried to achieve a weathered look - not full coverage.    Tip:  if you find you have "over painted", just take some sand paper to the wood and ruff it up a bit.  You'll get it back to sea worthy perfection in no time.  

 

Thanks for stopping here today.  Happy Crafting.

How to Create a Beach Themed Shadow Box for Shells - with Creative Embellishments and Buttons Galore

Turn an average shadow box into a treasured memory keeping Shaker Shadow Box

I love the beach.   It's a peaceful place for me and a theme I use in my crafting quite often. 

Creative Embellishments has the most wonderful chipboard designs for beach and sea related projects. 

I bought an inexpensive wooden shadow box and thought I would alter it and make my own personal beach.    I have a "before" image below. 

I grabbed a few of my favorite pieces from Creative Embellishments beach  designs and lightly dabbed them with acrylic paint.

This piece of home decor has a bit of a twist because  I turned it into a shaker to hold sequin shaker mix, but to also hold some of the tiny shells found on the Caribbean Islands from a recent cruise vacation. 

The shaker mix is from 28 Lilac Lane /Buttons Galore and More's sequins and Beads collection.

This is Aqua Dreams LL690 

The outside edge of the box was covered with some rope to hide the edges of the  acrylic shaker window.  Sometimes you have to get crafty to hide the rough edges.
