Is it too early... Merry Christmas

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here and while today is Halloween, and Thanksgiving is yet to come, I was so excited to start making this years Christmas cards that I forgot the theme for October's DCD posts are Fall/Halloween (oops).

Some areas of the country are experiencing snow already, so I thought this paper would be fun to  use. It is from the Pebble's Merry Little Christmas 6x6 paper pad, the "Merry Christmas" die can be found on the Frantic Stampers Website, it is made by Penny Black.

I hope as we enter this holiday season, you are met with comfort and joy.

 

Happy Fall from Die Cuttin' Diva's

Greeting friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my weekly project for the Die Cuttin' Diva's design team. This weeks theme is Fabulous Fall!!!

For this project I used Lawn Fawn's "Forest Feast and Thankful Mice" stamp sets, Fall Tiny Tags die set, and Newton's Nook "Wagon of Wishes" stamp set.

I loved all the little critters and thought using the pumpkin in the sky as the "Harvest Moon" would be a cute alternative way to use this image.

I stamped all the images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, except the tree trunk for which I used MFT Hot Fudge Dye ink. I colored my images using Artist Loft Alcohol markers. I used Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide for the ground and Tumbled Glass for the sky. The pumpkin in the sky "Harvest Moon" is cut using the pumpkin from the Fall Tiny Tags die set, and cut using Rinea foil paper.

The Happy Fall sentiment is from the Forest Feast stamp set, and stamped using MFT Hot Fudge ink.

Please come over to the Die Cuttin' Diva's blog and play along this week with your Fabulous Fall themed card.

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.

Home is Where You Park It, an SFL post

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here and let me say this month of projects with Scrapping For Less is really making me miss our camper. Thinking we are going to have to replace it in the next couple years. Camping has always been so fun for us, and the highlight of our weeks when we could escape for a couple days and just sit around and do nothing.



SO... using Art Impressions "Happy Camper" Tryfold Stamp and Die set, I put this card together. While thinking about the good old days.



First I stamped out my images using MFT Extreme Black Ink. I then Used my Scan n Cut to cut the images out. I then used alcohol markers to color everything up.



Once everything was colored, I took a sheet of cardstock 4.25" x 11" and scored on the 3 5/8" from each side to make my card base. Then it was off to my Vagabond machine with the two dies that came in the kit. The first die cut the back window of the camper, and left a hinge section at the top. I cut this same through the base as well, I removed the hinged section from the card base.



Now the camper we had, was completely camo colors on the inside. So I had to color this one the same way. The second die in the set cuts out the tent shape area in this next panel.



Once the card is completely open, you see the sentiment, and the cute little sleeping pup up on the bed. Exactly where my little guy Harley loved to be.

I hope you have enjoyed this project as much as I loved sharing it with you.

Joy Clair November With The THREE WISE MEN

Greetings Crafty Friends. Time for another great installment of the Joy Clair Monthly Blog Hop. 

We have some great new stamp sets this month. I have to say I love them all.

Today I am going to highlight one set from this months release.

Three Wise Men is a great 4x6 set. With 3 sentiments and 6 images, two of which can be colored, this is going to make some great Christmas cards.  This set works great for Bible Journaling pages as you can see from my two projects.

 With this card, the background paper is from a Momenta 6x6 card stack. I thought it would make the perfect night background. The city scape I stamped 3 times as well as the camels, I then stamped the wise men once. I used my scan n cut to then cut them out and color. using dimensional adhesive for the 2nd and last layers I put the card together. The Wise Men are on the way to Bethlehem seeking the baby in the manger.

With this journal page, I used distress inks to color the night sky and the desert land. Stamped the city with versafine, and the stamped the sentiment up top. Finished the scene off with the star brad and my page was complete.
