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".

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.



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.

Giving Thanks to Bugaboo

The Die Cut Diva's were sponsored this month by Bugaboo, and we would like to thank them for doing so.

The image I chose to use is called "Give Thanks 6 Block". The pattern paper I used for my background is 

from Carta Bella "Fall Market", the cardbase and layering panels are from Cardstock Warehouse.

Come play along with us as our new Sponsor and challenge starts Decembe 1.

Thanksgiving Card Fun- with video link

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my project for today. I decided since Thanksgiving is here in the US this week, and we were going to a Friendsgiving party tonight then I would make cards for each family that would be there. Once I had put three of the cards together I decided to do the rest on video for you.

For my project I used ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever to adhere my panels and Best Cleaner Ever to clean my stamp. The paper I used was Carta Bella Fall Market and Fancy Pants Golden Days. The cardbases and layering panels are from Cardstock Warehouse. The stamp set is from Lawn Fawn "Turkey Day".

 

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

Merry Shiny Day!

Hi there friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with a shiny Christmas card I have made for someone special.

Unfortunately my process photos were lost for this project, however I can tell you how I did it.

First I cut a card base using Black 110 lb card stock to 5.5" x 11", scored at 5.5". I then cut a panel from Gold Mirror card stock 5.25" x 5.25" to leave a nice border.

Using a Memory Box die set called "Pinpoint Stitched Snowflake Circle Frame" I cut this twice, once from Black 110 lb card stock and once out of Lawn Fawn White Glitter Card stock.

I used Silhouette double side adhesive on the back to hold these panels together since each layer was separate, and then using Nuvo Silver Gilding Flakes, I smoothed them into the crevices.

I used a Hero Arts "Merry" die and cut it 3 times from White card stock and once from the same Gold Mirror card stock as the base to bring that color back in. All panels and the layers for the sentiment were adhered together using ScraPerfect's Best Glue Ever, which dries clear.
