Hello Fall with Die Cuttin Divas

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my project for Die Cuttin' Diva's sketch challenge for the week of October 1-6.



 



My papers are all from  Bo Bunny Farmer's Market Ephemera package, I love these packs as they include paper, cardstock, stickers and ephemera and it is quite easy to put a few cards together with the collection and then add a stamp or two to complete the deal. With this one I made an a2 card, cut my panels, and added the Hello Fall dimensional sticker. I used Spellbinders dies to cut my panels and my little guy with the wagon is from Sunny Studio's Fall Kiddo's stamp set, which I colored using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers.

Please join us over at the Die Cuttin' Diva's blog and play along with our sketch this week.

You Color My World with DCD

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my final post for September with the Die Cut Diva's (The Diva's That Cut).



I had so much fun with this project, which is finishing out the month of Free Fun Time. Obviously something I enjoy doing in my free time is crafting, so this seemed to be just the right way to finish out the month. This little Pure Innocence girl from MFT was just re-released a couple months ago and I knew I had to have her. And didn't she pair up perfectly with this Simple Stories paper. I used some of my Artist Loft markers to match up with the colors on the paper for her paint palate.

You Warm My Heart... An A2Z post

 

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my post for the Coffee Lovers Super Sponsor Blog Hop representing A2Z Scrapbooking.



The little critters in the Woodlands Tea stamp set just really got to me, and I had to use them again for this post. They are just too cute not to use. For my card I used coffee themed cardstock from my stash and made a pocket to hold a gift card.

I used my Tri-Blend markers to color my images, and then using foam tape and ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever, I attached all images to my card. I tucked a gift in the holder pocket and my project was complete.

Woodland Critter Tea Party with A2Z

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my inspiration post for A2Z. For this post I used these adorable critters from the Hero Arts Woodland Tea Party set to create my card.



My paper is from BoBunny, and I stamped my images using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink, colored my images with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers, and adhered all together using ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever and some Foam Tape under the tree base. This little crew is now ready for their Tea Time, and since that is my favorite time of day, I think I am ready for some as well.

Make A Tag, with Die Cuttin' Divas

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. This week over at the Die Cuttin' Divas, the challenge is to make tags. So I decided to get out my Lawn Fawn "Say What" gift tags that I had never used. I also used the "Say What? Christmas" stamp set, and the "Oh Gnome" stamp set. the papers are from Pink & Main (Unicorn) and The Paper Studio (the other 3).



First thing I did was cut my tags using my Vagabond 2. I did a back panel and the pattern paper using the solid die, then the frame using the frame die, I also cut 3 speech bubbles using the included speech bubble die. My little critters and the gnome were cut using my Scan N Cut.





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I colored all my images using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers and stamped sentiments using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered all my images and panels together using ScraPerfects Best Glue Ever, and cleaned my stamps using ScraPerfects Best Cleaner Ever and the Perfect Cleaning Cloth.

I really love the way these tags turned out and will be making more to use for the upcoming Christmas season. Perhaps using other critters in my collection to match my grandbabies preferences.

So please come on over to the Die Cuttin' Diva's blog and upload your tags for this fun weekly challenge.

Merry Christmas with My Makers Movement

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with 3 more projects I made using stamp and die sets from My Makers Movement.

Buildable Buddies Stamp and Die Set...



These sets are great in that you can combine the pieces to make different buddies to use in your crafts. I made three such buddies for this post... a penguin, doe and snowman.



I had so much fun creating these 3 little critters with the "Buildable Buddies" Winter stamp/die sets. The sentiment for all 3 cards is from the "Beary Christmas" stamp set. The tag and banner shapes are from the MFT Tag Builder Blueprints 7 set. I used ScraPerfect BGE to adhere all my images together, the tags are popped with Fun Foam.



For this cute little penguin using the dies that accompany these images I cut them all out with my die cutting machine and set about coloring my images using Prismacolor Colored Pencils, The tag is cut from Pink & Main Galaxy paperstock, and mounted on cardstock from the Recollections brand Northern Lights paper pad. My card base is Night of Navy cardstock.

For this little doe I used alcohol markers to color my little girl. The paper is from Echo Park's "Warm & Cozy" paper pad.



For Mr. Frosty I colored with alcohol markers, paper is from Recollections "A Winters Night" paper pad and adhered on a Night Of Navy card base.

Anything Goes with Die Cuttin' Diva's

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with a project I made for Die Cuttin' Diva's weekly challenge using some dies from Spellbinders.



I had a friend that was selling mystery destash boxes, so I said why not, bought one and both dies for this project was in the box, and for some reason the night it came a Red Hat Society inspired project hit me.

The dies are from Spellbinders, the sentiment is from Stampabilities and stamped with VersaFine Tuxedo Black ink. The little flowers on the hat are from Kat Scrappiness.

Please come play along with the Die Cuttin' Diva's this week with your Anything Goes project.

 

Hello... an A2Z post

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my first project of the month for A2Z.



I have to say I had fun with this project. This is the first "layering" set that I have actually enjoyed using, and do see myself using it more. I have had it in my stash for a while (at least a year) and this is the first time I used it.

For this project I used the Layering Topiary stamp set, and Memento Inks. to start off I used the heart shaped die that comes with the set and a panel of cardstock that was cut to 4.25" x 5.5" in the spot where I wanted the leaves of the tree. I then lined that panel up in my mini stamp positioner and lined up the first stamp in the heart cut out. I then replaced the panel with the one I was actually going to stamp on, and followed this process for all 3 colors of green... Cottage Ivy, Pear Tart and Bamboo Leaves. I then used Rich Cocoa to stamp the tree trunk, Potters Clay for the pot, Lady Bug for the bird and Tuxedo Black for the sentiment.

I then proceeded to cut 1/8" from all 4 sides of my panel and mounted it on a A2 card base.



Now it’s your turn, create a project and play along our September Anything Goes challenge.  Scroll down to get the details.

Making Spirits Bright with My Makers Movement

I just can not express how excited I am to be collaborating with My Makers Movement for some upcoming projects, including this one today. This is a great company, they have products for Paper Crafting, Jewelry Making, and have a great die cutting machine called the Crossover II, which I am now saving up for. This machine will cut paper, fabric, emboss, die cut, and the best thing is it is adjustable to handle the job you are doing.



So, on to my project for today. I used the oh too cute 16 piece stamp set called Beary Christmas and the matching dies. These little bears are just too cute, and so fun to color. I stamped them out using Memento Tuxedo Black ink which is alcohol marker friendly. die cut each of the bears and then used my Arteza markers to color each one.



For my background I used Distress Oxide inks in Wilted Violet, Broken China, Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans. I then spritzed some water on the panel and took it up using a paper towel.



Once I was satisfied that my ink was dry I thought it needed something else and took out my Sugar Glitter Bo Bunny Glitter Paste and Card Sized Star Confetti Stencil from MFT. I taped my stencil down and using a palette knife I spread the glitter paste onto my panel. I LOVE the way it turned out.

I grabbed a hillside die from my stash to create something for the ground level and then played around deciding where to put my bears. After doing this I realized the houses really need to come into this project. These homes are so cute, and I would not feel right leaving them out.



Stop on over at My Makers Movement and see what is there. There is something for everyone.

Happy Birthday with Die Cut Diva's

I love September 10, why... because it is my youngest daughters birthday. Happy Birthday Megan who is 28 today.



This is not the card I gave her, although I did consider it.

This card was part of a group of cards from a card class at my local stamp store, and I missed the class. However, I was able to with with the kits and replicate it myself.

The dies for the "wish" sentiment as well as the balloons, party hat and cake, along with the embossing folder for the squares is from a Tim Holtz, Sizzix Thinlets set called Birthday.



I had a lot of fun making this card and I hope to see your projects this week on the Die Cuttin' Diva's blog using the "Birthday" theme.
