Encouragement Blog Hop

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with the fun project I made for this amazing Blog Hop that was put together to help encourage crafters from all areas and skill types to join in and have fun.



For my project I first did an ink blended background using Distress Oxides in Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron and Wilted Violet. I used my blending brushes to blend out this background and just love the way this turned out.

I used the My Favorite Things Playful Peacock stamp set to stamp  out the image and sentiment using MFT Extreme Black Ink. I used my Scan N Cut to cut out the Peacock image and then colored it with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers.

In putting the project together I popped each of the segments up with foam tape. The final touch was sparkle gems by Button's Galore.

I really hope you have enjoyed my project, next up in the hop is Simone James and a video she has made for us on YouTube.

Have a Crafty Day!!!

Happy Birthday... August A2Z Challenge

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my inspiration for the A2Z Scrapbooking August Challenge... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!



For this project I used the Hero Arts Flowers For Coloring Clear Stamp set, and Happy Birthday Sentiment from and older Hero Arts Stamp Set CL582. I stamped the flowers on my white cardstock using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Embossing Ink and used White Embossing Powder.

Hello, Sweet Friend

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. Sorry my post is late today, crazy things going on around here right now, but I hope this cute card makes up for the lateness.



The latest challenge for Die Cuttin Divas is Anything Goes. So go on over to the main page and see all the inspiration from the team, and play along.

This project was made using paper, dies and stamps from My Favorite Things, at a class I took at the store.

Have a crafty day.

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.

Stewart NEEDS Coffee!!!

Hi there friends and fellow crafters. I am so excited to share this cute stamp set with you today... Stewart The Sloth is so adorable, and he won my heart the minute I took him out of the box he came in.

Now for my project... Kat challenged me to make a card, and so I took her up on that challenge. This little guy loves his coffee so much, and it was about 1am in the morning while I was working my first week of night shift in many years, and said sure, I need coffee, Stewart needs coffee, and let me tell you, as much as I love night shift I was certainly feeling a bit Slothy.



The background paper is from a BoBunny Jungle Themed paper pad, I used Kat's Stitched Rectangle Dies as to cut my layers, and Michael's 110 lb card stock as my image panel along with my other white panel and black card base. I stamped Stewart and his adorable cup first, then using Inkadinkado Masking Paper I stamped the palm leaves for his little bed. I used Ink On 3 Black Out Ink for all my stamping, and colored with my alcohol markers. I finished off the project by gluing my layers using ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever, and adding a few of the Clear Solid Round Confetti Mix.

I hope you have enjoyed this project. I really did have a fun time coming up with this idea, and I am very thankful to Kat for sending Stewart for me to play with this month.
