Lets Make a Christmas Ornament with Hero Arts and Dies R Us.

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with an ornament I made using Hero Arts Layering Snow Globe die set.
 First I cut all the main segments out using Recollections 110 lb card stock, and one backer using Pink & Main's Galaxy paper. I used Silver Glitter paper for the snowflake spray and Gold Shimmer paper for the sentiment plate.
 I actually cut each layer twice, and alternated the layers. Using Artist Loft brush markers I colored the top hat, arms, and facial features of the snowman, the house and the tree's. I used ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever to adhere the layers together. I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Clair Nocturne Black Ink. The sentiment is from Poppy Stamps "Christmas Greetings Stamp Set".
Don't forget to come join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog. There's a new challenge theme offered on the 1st and 15th of each month and one lucky randomly drawn winner will receive a gift voucher prize to the Dies R Us Store.

We Fish You a Merry Christmas with DRU

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my first December Inspiration project, in which I decided to make 2 cards for.

I used Lawn Fawn's Christmas Fishes stamp set, along with Lawn Fawn's Porthole Frames and Wavy Banner Frames sets. My background paper is from DCWV. I used silver mirror cardstock to cut the porthole frames, I also cut the same using white cardstock, and both for the wavy banners.
I stamped my images and sentiments using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and did some masking using Inkadinkado masking paper so I could have images appearing to be behind what I wanted positioned in front.
I colored my images using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.
Then the fun began. I attached Spectrum Noir double side adhesive to the back of each of my portholes. I trimmed around the outer edge so it would not show, and then sprinkled Diamond Dust Glitter on the front of each porthole and burnished it in. This effect made the front no longer sticky, however it is very shiny and semi transparent.
I used ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever to adhere all panels together, and added silver ribbon from my stash with a bow at the top of each porthole, to simulate Christmas Ornaments.
My vision for these cards is sitting on the inside of a boat, looking out through the portholes at Christmas time at the cute fishes and sea critters celebrating in their own way. I hope this inspiration did the same for you.

DCD and Morgan's Art World

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here today with my post for Die Cut Diva's. This month we have two sponsors, Morgan's Art World and Cheapo Dies. For this post I use an image from Morgan's Art World called Winter 10.

preview-4

I printed the image, colored with Artist Loft Alcohol Markers and cut the image and layers using MFT Mod Stax Dies. I love this image, she really reminds me of my youngest daughter, from her reddish blonde hair color, to her purple jacket. Only thing different is the eye color. I have 3 daughters, and I always purchased things in colors for them. Oldest was yellow, middle was pink and youngest purple. Not sure why it worked out that way but it did.

Thanks for this trip down memory lane, hope you enjoy my image. Have a great day.
