winter

On By LeslieIn Papercraft2 Comments

Good morning, my friends! Can’t believe it’s the first of December already! Where has this year gone?! Our new challenge is live over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #140 – Winter Wonderland! I created a shaped Christmas card in one of my favorite color combos of burgundy and aqua, using a pretty Power Poppy digital image.

2020_01160013a

I created the card base from burgundy cardstock and the layer from aqua using dies from a card die set. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, cut it with a stitched oval die and adhered it over several strips of Washi Tape. I cut the winter sentiment from red glitter paper and adhered it to the bottom right of the panel.

2020_01160014a

I printed the image two more times to fussy cut four extra mittens, and used two of them on the front popped up on foam pads for a little dimension.

2020_01160015a

The Power Poppies digital image included a sentiment which I used on the inside of the card. I embellished the bottom of the panel with Washi Tape and the other two mittens I had fussy cut earlier.

2020_01160016a

And one more peek… I really love this Christmas card!

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! It’s time for a new challenge over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #139 – Anything Goes! I created a colorful ‘congrats’ card using two Dare 2B Artzy stamp sets that I’ve had in my stash for a while, and it sure felt good to finally get around to using them!

Leslie

I stamped the image in black ink on the front panel and then decided I wanted it embossed, so I stamped it again in Versamark and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. This is a great trick to get virtually any color of embossing! I stamped the congrats sentiment in black ink and then colored the image with Bic Mark-It markers. The Bics are fine-tip markers in bright colors which really dressed up the image. ;)

2019_1229011a

I stamped the inside sentiment and colored it with the Bic Mark-It markers, and then embellished the panel with several strips of colored cardstock to match the colors used in the image.

And here’s one more look… loving how this turned out! ;)

Happy Fall!

On By LeslieIn Papercraft9 Comments

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday – hope you are looking forward to a great weekend… it’s almost here! Our new challenge is live over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #138 – Fall Back! I used a pretty Power Poppy digital image to create this Fall card.

2020_01160023a

I cut a yellow panel for the background and layered it on light orange cardstock. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, trimmed it down and layered it on the light orange cardstock. I die cut a pretty doily, cut it in half and arranged each half behind the focal image. I used some Glossy Accents on the centers of most of the flowers. The Power Poppy digital image included two sentiments, so I used the ‘Happy Fall’ one on the front angled over the focal image.

2020_01160024a

I printed the inside sentiment on white cardstock, trimmed the panel and embellished it with leftover strips of the cardstock used on the front.

2020_01160025a

Our new challenge over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog launched this morning and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #137 – Anything Goes! Come on over and play – we know you love ‘anything goes!’ I used a CAS-ual Fridays Stamps stamp set for this magical birthday card featuring a unicorn and lots of glitzy shimmer!

2019_1227001a

I created the card base from white cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I added diagonal strips of pastel glitter paper to the background panel, stamped the unicorn in StazOn Jet Black ink and layered the panel on black cardstock. I stamped the unicorn again on white cardstock, fussy cut it and paper pieced it over the unicorn on the background panel. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom right and added some Crystal Drops to finish the front panel.

2019_1227002a

I embellished the inside panel with leftover strips of pastel glitter paper used on the front, layered the panel on black cardstock and then stamped the sentiment.

Hi everyone! Can you believe we’re barging right into August?! OMG, where has this year gone?! This month’s challenge over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog launched this morning and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #136 – For The Kids! I created a kid card using a Twistoon image that would be a hit with just about anybody… can you say FUN?! Sure reminded me of my childhood, lol!

2019_1227005a

I’ve had this background stamp in my stash forever it seems, and this month’s challenge was the perfect time to use it! I stamped it on ivory cardstock, rounded all four corners and layered the panel on tangerine cardstock. I printed the awesome image three times and colored one of them with Prismacolor pencils. I fussy cut all three images and adhered them on top of each other and then ran a Memento Tuxedo Black marker around the edges. This was just the right amount of dimension for the front panel. ;)

2019_1227006a

I rounded the corners of the inside panel and embellished it with a leftover strip of tangerine cardstock and a strip of skinny Washi Tape. I stamped the sentiment and layered the panel on the tangerine cardstock.

2019_1227007a

One more look… OMG, I love this image! She’s so homely she’s cute! ;)

“ewe” rock!

On By LeslieIn Papercraft6 Comments

Hi everyone! Happy July 1st to you! A new challenge is live this morning at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #135 – Anything Goes! I created a super cute birthday card using the “ewe rock” Bugaboo Digi Stamps image and sentiment. I absolutely LOVE this image!

2019_1224017a

I colored the image with my Studio 71 alcohol markers and cut it with a stitched mini scallop die. I chose blue faux texture paper for the background which I layered on dark gray cardstock to keep with the blue and gray colors in the image. I cut the sentiment in a thin strip and layered it on several more strips of cardstock for dimension, and then adhered it in a diagonal fashion.

2019_1224018a

I embellished the inside panel with leftover strips of paper and cardstock used on the front, and stamped the birthday sentiment in black ink.

2019_1224019a

One more look… I’m so smitten with this guy! I actually made a second one with a brown sheep and sent him to my musician son for his birthday last week! ;)

Hi everyone! Top of the morning to you – I hope you have a fantastic week coming up! It’s time for a new challenge over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #134 – For The Boys! I dug into my stash of digis and came up with this adorable digi set from The Paper Shelter for my boy card. Isn’t this guy just the cutest?!

2019_1222001a

I printed the pre-colored boy on the background paper and then printed him two more times on cardstock. I fussy cut both cardstock images and adhered them together, then ran a Memento Rich Cocoa marker around the edges of them for a more finished look. I layered them on top of the boy on the background paper which gave him some awesome dimension, and then layered the panel on light blue cardstock. I stamped and heat embossed the Paper Smooches sentiment and cut it with a stitched circle die.

2019_1222002a

I embellished the inside panel with leftover strips of the cardstock used on the front, and cut the Stamp On It sentiment with a double-stitched rectangle die.

2019_1222003a

One more look… super happy with how this turned out! LOVE the digi sets from The Paper Shelter! And it doesn’t hurt to have some awesome sentiments stashed away to use with them! ;)

Hi everyone! Happy Fri-YAY – are you doing the happy dance?! Our May challenge is live this morning at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration for LTSCB #133 – Anything Goes! I created a friendship card featuring the amazing Laurel Burch Feline Friends Like You stamp! She’s one of my absolute favorite artists and I was lucky to have won this stamp from Stampendous last October in the 2019 Cat Lovers Hop!

Leslie

I created an inked background using a variety of blue and green distress inks, drying the watercolor paper between smooshes. This large stamp contains the images and the sentiment on one stamp, so I carefully cut the sentiment away from the images so I could use it by itself on the inside. I stamped the cats and butterflies on the background and then again on plain white cardstock. I stamped it a second time in Versamark and applied Hero Arts clear embossing powder and heat set it. I colored the images with Bic Mark-It markers in bright colors and fussy cut each one. I ran a Memento Tuxedo Black marker around the edges for a more finished look, then adhered each image into it’s place on the background. I stamped the ‘hugs’ sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps in white StazOn and then again in Versamark, applied Hero Arts white embossing powder and heat set it.

2019_1209010a

I kept the inside panel fairly simple, embellishing the panel with two very thin leftover slivers trimmed from the inked background, and stamping the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

2019_1209011a

Here’s one more peek… super happy with how this turned out! If you’ve ever seen any Laurel Burch designs, you know they are very colorful, and I’m all about color!

On Your Retirement

On By LeslieIn Papercraft7 Comments

3/31/20 DT Favorite at A perfect Time To Craft Open Challenge!

Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a great weekend – it’s fast coming to an end, lol! Our March challenge is live this morning over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #131 – Anything Goes! I created a retirement card featuring the black ice technique. I officially retire in a few months so I’m in that kind of mind-set! This is the first time I’ve done the black ice technique and I think it turned out pretty well although it was a little difficult getting good photos in my light box.

2019_1019005a

I’ve typically seen this technique done with silver mirror cardstock so I decided to try it with gold. I used Stampin’ Up Lovely As A Tree stamp set, StazOn Jet Black ink and Versamark for the main panel. The sentiment is stamped from a Lily of the Valley circular sentiment stamp set that I’ve had in my stash for years.

2019_1019006a

I embellished the inside panel with a leftover strip of the black ice panel trimmed off the front and a thin strip of black cardstock, and layered the panel on black cardstock. The inside sentiment, stamped in black ink, is from Pretty Pink Posh.

2019_1019007a

One more peek… LOVE how this turned out! I’ll definitely be doing this technique again, but on silver mirror cardstock next time!

2019_1019008a

I’d love to enter this card into the following challenges:
