Hi everyone  Candy here today  I am sharing with you all a 6X6 inch easel card. I have used Memory Maze chipboard items and the pink glitter. Today I have created a  shaker card. The larger heart on the out side I covered with some of the paper.  But before doing that I cut out a piece of acetate in the shape of a heart. Traced it and the glued it onto the front  of the heart. Then glued the paper over the top.  I then cover the heart with glue and sprinkled well with the glitter. I added two layers of foam tape to the back of the heart to give plenty of area for the glitter and sequins to move around.  The Adore heart I painted with white gesso and while this was wet sprinkled the glitter over the top.  And the perfect Moments labels I white washed with gesso and then used a black gel pen to make  the words darker and show up.

Hi everyone it is my turn to make a creation using some wedding theme chipboard from Memory Maze. I also chose the Kaisercraft Two Souls paper collection. Using the black card base has really taken me out of my box, but I did it.   I made a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inch card and also a medium size gift bag  The card I chose some pattern papers from the collection and cut them down to fit onto the front of the card base. I used an edge distresser around the edges and taped them down.  This is such a lovely collecion it was hard to decide. I chose a few of the collectables for both the card and gift bag. The gift bag I added the papers to the front also some lace to the top and the piece for the top is raised to give some dimension. I used two chipboard hearts and covered them well with some silver ink.  This ink was very wet so I applied the silver embossing powder and hit it with my heat gun.  If you have a wet in...

Hi everyone this month on Off the Rails we the design team had to use the mood board as well as something recycled. I thought and looked around my craft room thinking what can I use. I had a very large bag of tags that where given to me over the years in different swap groups. So I decided to use one of them as my recycled item. I simply put the tag on a 4x8 inch white card base and added a pattern paper underneath.  Design team Here is the mood board Thank you for visiting Candy Chelepy 2019 Off the rails design team

Cover the oval frame, butterflies both metal and chipboard with the shabby white em...
