Today we’re thrilled to welcome Melissa Chipperfield. Before we show you Melissa’s project, let’s get to know her a little bit more…

MelissaChipperfieldProfilePic-08142014-250WI think my love of stamps began somewhere around the year 2000 when some of my college friends introduced me to scrapbooking & card making.  Two years later, I met a gal who was pretty passionate about card making and her enthusiasm was contagious!  I am now the owner of too many stamps to count (I’m afraid to…)!  I’ve tried my hand at different design styles over the years, but finally settled on clean & simple design.  I love the challenge of designing something really simple that delivers a message in a creative way!  Often times, I like a little humor thrown in for good measure.  Many people know me from CASology, my clean & simple challenge blog.  It’s there that I find loads of inspiration for my CAS addiction!

I am a registered dental hygienist, but am currently only working one morning per week while I stay at home to raise our four children (ages 10, 7, 4 & 1).  My other passion is photography and you won’t find me leaving the house without a camera!  I share both my cards and photography on my blog.

Today, I thought I’d share a card I made with Unity stamps, one of my current favorite stamp companies!  Many of my cards use simple texture, dimension & color to add interest to a white background and this card is a good example of my typical design work.  The sentiment was actually the inspiration for this idea.

I simply die cut two clouds from white cardstock and two clouds from metal sheets before layering them together & popping them up with foam dots.

  1. I’ve never been shy about telling any and all how much I love your challenge, Melissa. You inspire like no other – and allow me to be as pun-y as I want to be =]
