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.

Hello Spring, So glad you have joined us

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with 2 cards I made using the Echo Park "Spring Showers" stamp set and some items from my stash.

 For this first card I stamped out my images, cut them and colored using Alcohol Markers. I decided then to use the Lawn Fawn Shadowbox Die set and create a fun card. I used GinaK Amalgam Ink to stamp my images as I knew I would be using the alcohol markers, and ScraPerfect "Best Glue Ever" to adhere my images within the card.

This card was so easy to making using the GinaK Designs Wreath Builder. I used the small images from the Spring Showers stamp set and repeatedly stamped using the wreath builder and my Tim Holtz stamp platform. I colored the images using my alcohol markers, cut 2 circles using  a set of dies from my stash and stamped the Hello Spring sentiment using GinaK Amalgam ink. I used foam to pop up the sentiment panel, ScraPerfect glue to adhere my layers together and with that my second project was complete.

Season;s Greetings from Scrapping For Less

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with a project I made using Lawn Fawn's Simply Celebrate Winter Stamp Set.

This stamp set is so adorable with its gifts, gingerbread cookies, trees, snow people, ornaments, winter village and the Season's Greetings" sentiment. With all the cute items it was quite hard to decide what I was going to use for this project, but after thinking I came up with a fun idea. 

I used a pre-made card base from my stash, and a panel that fits the top of it, I used Distress Oxides in Broken China on the sky and a combination of Lucky Clover and Twisted Citron for the ground. My stamping is all done with my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

My coloring is all completed using Chameleon Markers in various colors.

I used Nuvo drops in Woodland Green and Autumn Red on the Gingerbread kids buttons. I used my Black Glaze pen on the eyes. I used Nuvo Crystal Drops on the rooftops and tree tops to simulate snow. 

This project was fun and I am so happy to share it with you today.

Just a Swinging with Evaney's Stamp Designs

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my Friday project for Evaney's Stamp Designs. 

I had a lot of fun with this card, as soon as I saw the Step Right Up stamp set, I knew this little lady had to fly across the front of the card.
I stamped and cut the image, then colored with Chameleon markers. They give such a graduated blending that makes them fun to use, as you can get so many colors from one marker. The background paper is from Pebbles "Sunshiny Days" 6"x6" paper pad. 
I used a Lawn Fawn "Slide on over" die to cut the swing track. I affixed the trapeze artist using a brad. 
I used a net die from my stash to get the catch net, and cut down a striped straw to make the poles holding the net. I affixed the net to the "poles" using my glue runner. 
My final touches were to stamp "Happy Birthday" and "Swing for Joy on your special day" using Ink It Up! Turquoise Ink by Darice. This is a quick drying dye ink that allowed me to immediately cut the sentiments using a banner die from my stash.

This video is my little trapeze artist in action:

Scrapping For Less Project with Lawn Fawn

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my first project as a member of the Scrapping For Less design team. Let me say this is going to be a fun ride. 

So, today I am highlighting the "Hay There" stamp set from Lawn Fawn, available in the Scrapping For Less Store. I also used the "Down on the Farm" 6x6 paper pad and mini icons from Doodlebug. I am always amazed how well Lawn Fawn and Doodlebug work together. 

So, now that you know what I used, how about showing you what I made.

After stamping and coloring the cute animals I decided this had to be a box card, so that everything would fit and have the ability to be seen. 

I used the following Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers for coloring: 
Cow Spots, and all animal hooves- True Black
Cow face- FS5
Cow horns IG5
Goat- IG3, IG6
Sheep- IG2, IG6
Pig- PP3, PP6
Horse- GB1, GB5, EB3, EB4, TN4
Fence- EB5, TN3

Once my coloring was complete I cut the images and set to making my box card. 

The box card base is 11.5" wide and 5.5" tall. each section is 2.75" wide. The base is scored up at 2.75" to create 3 flaps that will fold down. The 4th side was left tall to create the back side when standing. 
I cut three 2.5" x 2.5" and used my Corner Chomper to round the edges. I used double stick tape to adhere the panels. 
The back panel is 2.5" x 3.5" so that it will cover the panel down past where my farm critters are. 
The panels my critters are on 3.5" wide and 3" tall. I added a .5" panel of the same wildflower field pattern paper to each panel to simulate the critters standing out in the pasture. 
On the left panel is a mud pit, Apple Tree and apple from the Mini Icon Set, and the Pig from the stamp set that I colored. 
The front panel is a windmill, flowers and truck from the Mini Icon Set. 
On the right side is a bail of hay, apple tree and apple from the Mini Icon Set and Cow from the stamp set. 
The photo image on the back panel is from an icon sheet in the 6"x6" paper pad. 

I hope you have enjoyed my project today. Please stop by the Scrapping For Less website and see the items I have highlighted as well as the other awesome items available.
