Easter Card with Enameled Chipboard by Tracey Sabella

It's Tracey S. here. I'd like to wish you a wonderful and blessed Easter. With this sacred holiday approaching, I've created a card to celebrate featuring the Leaky Shed Studio Cross Set, Flower Corner Small, and to frame my sentiment inside - the medium Victorian Oval Frame.

"Rejoice"

Tips and Techniques

I kept my chipboard treatment simple by heat embossing all of the chipboard images with Fran-tage Shabby White Embossing Enamel. I adore how this product has flecks of gold enamel along with shimmering glitter giving a light but grungy effect. The Small Flower Corner nests around this image just perfectly.

I stamped the sweet lamb image onto white cardstock, lightly shaded with Pan Pastels, and colored the straw with Caran D'ache NeocolorII watersoluble pastels.

Sweet flowers dry brushed with gesso are tucked in and around the chipboard corner. I've surrounded the flowers with color fragments.

Another view of the flowers and you can see better here how they nest right into the Leaky Shed Studio Small Flower Corner.

A close up of the right cluster.

Of course, I had to include one of the Leaky Shed Studio Crosses, which perfectly accents my sentiment.

Here's another view. I stamped the image, inked around the edges, then popped it up with lace and tiny rose buds tucked in.

This final shot shows how I've used the medium size Victorian Oval Frame around my sentiment. This gorgeous frame set also includes a larger and smaller frame.

Thanks for stopping by today!

I hope you've been inspired to grab some

Leaky Shed Studio Chipboard to create a holiday card.

Card using the Cross Set

Hi Leaky Shed Fans!  Christine joining you today to share a card that could be used for encouragment, get well, or just as a general note.  My hubby is a Pastor so I am always on the lookout for some good Christian pieces to use on my paper crafts!  Today I have used the fabulous cross set from Leaky Shed Studio!

I created a base for my card using patterned papers and cardstock.  I then added some glitter tape and a pretty frame.  All those draw your eye in to the focal point of my crosses.  Centering the big one and adding a sequin to it make it really pop out!

I left my chipboard pieces in the raw instead of coloring them - they just worked right as crosses for me that way!  I added a simple 3 D sentiment sticker and it is done - ready to send off to a friend who needs it!  Have you made anything with these crosses or something similar from Leaky Shed?  We'd love to have you share it with us on our facebook page!

Love Notes Card Holder Set Featuring Enameled Chipboard

It's Tracey here to share a new project with you. It's always fun to send little notes to our loved ones to let them know how much we care, or to congratulate them on a special accomplishment. I've created a set of note card holders just for that purpose. I've cut the holders and coordinating note cards from the Prima Romance collection and decorated them with gorgeous Leaky Shed Studio chipboard.

Love Notes Set

Tips and Techniques

This first note card holder has a steampunk image, so I added one of the LSS crosses from the cross set. I heat embossed with with the wonderfully textured Fran-tage Aged Black Embossing Enamel. Each of these holders was fussy cut from design sheets from this gorgeous Prima paper, then scored and folded. Edges are inked in Walnut Stain Distress Ink. 

For each of these holders I cut out and inked additional sentiments like the Beautiful and Notes sentiments on this one. The Leaky Shed Studio Butterfly was heat embossed with Fran-tage Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel. Inking for this holder is done with Black Soot Distress Ink. 

This chipboard piece is the new Damask design that is an upcoming release. Don't you just adore the intricate detail? It's also heat embossed with Fran-tage Embossing Enamel in Aged Silver. The top part of the chipboard is not glued down so the envelope tab can be tucked underneath. I went back to the Walnut Stain Distress ink for this note holder. 

You may have noticed that I have not included much dimension with flowers and other embellishments so that they will be easy to slip into an envelope and send on their way, but still have so much elegant and gorgeous dimension with the lovely dressed up chipboard.
