Vacay

Leslie6 Comments

Hi everyone! You know on the 1st of the month I always have several posts – this is the second one and there will be one more after this one! It’s time for another fun challenge over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #100 – Kidz Rule! We’re being sponsored this month by Star Stampz, Bugaboo Digi Stamps and Pickled Potpourri! Come play with us for a chance to win an awesome prize!

I created a cute summer vacation card using the most adorable Knobby Knees Vacation Boy digi from Bugaboo. OMG, I just love him! Man/boy/masculine cards have always been challenging for me so I kept this fairly simple with a couple patterned papers, some torn Core’dinations paper and just a few embellishments.

Isn’t this knobby knees kid just the custest ever?! I colored him and cut him with a double-stitched die – you know how I love my stitched dies! I tore one edge of a piece of brown Core’dinations to reveal the kraft core for a little interest under the focal image. I spelled ‘vacay’ using the Newsprint Thickers down the left side and colored them with a green Spectrum Noir marker. To finish the front, I added several drops of Woodland Green Crystal Drops and a few Candi Minis.

I decorated the inside with leftover strips of the papers used on the front. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of white cardstock, punched it out with a circle punch and then punched a slightly larger circle of the Kraft cardstock used for the base. This turned out really cute! ;)

Hi everyone! A very happy July 1st to you! And it’s Saturday – hope you have a great weekend planned! We have a new challenge going live this morning over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m tickled to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #99 – Anything Goes! We’re being sponsored this month by Little Blue Button Stamps, Limited Runs Stamps and SheepSki Designs! Come on over and play with us for a chance to win an awesome prize!

I created an adorable Halloween card using the Witch Splat image from Limited Runs Stamps! Is this not the cutest image ever?! I stamped diagonal lines on the background panel and used some gingham ribbon. I wanted to keep the background tame so as not to detract from this awesome image. :)

1-Leslie

I generally color my own images but I knew I couldn’t go wrong with a pre-colored one this time. I love it! Just too cute! I added some glitter to the icing for a little texture and stamped a rather large sentiment across the bottom. :)

2017_06130005a

I kept the inside simple, stamping a sentiment and small witch image on a layered panel. Very happy with how this turned out! :)

Hi everyone! I’m back with another post on this fine 1st day of June which marks the middle of the year already… can you believe it?! We have a brand new challenge launching over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m happy to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #98 – Boyz Rule! We’d love to see your masculine projects this time! Our sponsors this month are Oddball Art Co., DRS Designs and Bugaboo Digi Stamps so come on over and play with us for a chance to win an awesome prize!

I used the amazing Soldiers of America greeting from DRS Designs for my CAS patriotic thank you card. This is a shout-out to all the men in my family who have served in the military – my father, my son, my husband and my brother-in-law. Thank you for your service! I really enjoyed creating this card, as it had meaning.

2017_05280005a

I’ve got the die cutting fever again and have been playing with my Scan N Cut (a lot) since we got situated after our move. I thought these awesome patriotic and square frame cut files would pair perfectly with the DRS Designs greeting!

2017_05280006a

And nothing says ‘thank you’ any better than this…

You know how I love my fancy folds! I created a peek-a-boo thank you card, and OMG, I loved making this! Navy blue and white are among my favorite color combos, and this is the first project I’ve made with this gorgeous Stampin’ Up! DSP. I’ve made a few cards lately without bows so this card had to have one!

2017_02180006a

Here’s a shot of the card opening up to reveal an additional stamped sentiment! The Stampin’ Up! stamp set I used is one of my favorites!

2017_02180008a

And here it is, fully open, revealing the ever-classic ‘thank you’ sentiment stamped inside.

I’m excited to share my Love To Scrap Challenge Blog DT inspiration project for LTSCB #96 – Girlz Rule! Our amazing sponsors this month are Pickled Potpourri, Little Blue Button Stamps and Heartfelt Creations, and we hope you’ll play with us!

I chose the gorgeous ‘Life Is A Circus’ image from Little Blue Button image for my girly card. I couldn’t decide whether to concentrate on birthday, engagement, anniversary or milestone, so I left it open!

2017_03050008a

I’m in love with these papers and couldn’t wait to use them with this gorgeous image. I added some paper flowers that I inked, a lace doily and some red Glittered Gumdrops.

2017_03050009a

I also added some velvet ribbon and white metallic thread. I used TH Label Letters for the sentiment on the front. I’m really loving how this turned out!

2017_03050010a

I decorated the inside with leftover strips of paper and cardstock used on the front and then stamped the sentiment in black and red to coordinate with the overall color scheme.

I chose the most adorable ‘Bob’ digi from SheepSki Designs for my hubby’s Valentine and he loved it! He’s a nuts and bolts kind of guy, lol!

1-leslie

I thought a gray, black, white and red color combo would be neat for this card. I used a double stitched oval die to cut the image which I mounted on thick foam for dimension. I hand cut two pointed flags and heat embossed a couple fun robot sentiments on the front.

2017_02050005a

I decorated in the inside with leftover strips of the cardstock used on the front, and stamped a sentiment from the same robot stamp set. I really love how this turned out!

I chose the absolutely adorable LSS ‘Emily Showers of Love’from Sparkle N Sprinkle for my love card. I had such a good time putting this card together! I chose a couple coordinating dainty pink papers and layered them on black cardstock.

leslie

You can’t see it in the photos but I colored the raining hearts with clear sparkle marker for some pretty shimmer. I added my big bow with several loops of black metallic thread behind it, and played with some Crystal Drops!

2017_01080002a

The inside sentiment was part of the image set and is just perfect! I layered the panel on black and pink cardstock.
