Good Glidings, from White Rose Crafts and YNS

Image may contain: text
Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here today with a project I made using "Your Next Stamp" products from White Rose Crafts.

To make this project I used the Glad Glidings Stamp set which I colored with Chameleon Markers. I also used the "Skating Rink Scene" die set which I used double side tape and WOW brand Fab Foil in Turquoise. I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink in the background to give it a slight color. My final touch was adding a few sequins from the "Frozen" Sparkle Blends mix.

Use the code: YNS 10 in the store for 10% off the Your Next Stamp line of products.

I hope you have enjoyed this projects today. Please see the great products available at the White Rose Crafts online store.

Merry Christmas, From Scrapping For less and IndigoBlu

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with a brand focus post using IndigoBlu's "Ickle Christmas Tree".

I decided to do something different for a change and made an easel card. This card is fairly easy to make, I cut an 8.5" x 11" sheet of cardstock and cut in half longways to be 4.25" x 11". I then used my scoreboard to make it an A2 size card base top folding 4.25" x 5.5". I then scored again on one end at 2.75", this is what makes the easel part. After I made the panel with the Tree, I added this to the lower part of the card base with double stick tape. This allows the card to fold flat for mailing, and rise up for show when it arrives at its destination home.
The wood present is there to stop the top part from sliding closed.
My background paper is from the October FOTM kit, as is the wooden present. I stamped the image using a green dye ink from my stash, and colored the ornaments on the tree using Wink of Stella and Wink of Luna markers in Blue, Maroon and Gold.
The Snowflakes around the tree were stamped also with the green dye ink, and then covered with Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter Drops. The "Merry Christmas" sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's "Happy Happy Happy" add on stamp set.

MFT & Scrapping For Less... Happy Happy Happy Christmas

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here today with a card I made using a great new die from MFT called Happy Christmas.
I don't know how many photos I took trying to capture the glitter used in the 2nd Happy as well as the H, S and A. While this wasn't very hard to do, it wasn't quite as easy as I had thought it would be either. I first die cut the whole Happy Christmas Phrase, then moved the die up a bit and only covered the Happy with my Big Shot Plate and ran it through my Big Shot. I then repositioned again and ran it through once more.
I used Double stick tape behind the first Happy as well as the C-I-M and used Red glitter and burnished it in with my finger, then did the same with the White on the H-S-A and the Green on the R-T-S, Cleaning up between colors. I did leave the backing on the double stick tape with the only sticky side being what showed through my top panel.
The Stripped panel is from the Jolly Paper Pad by Pink & Main which was a leftover piece from the October 2018 Card Kit, which sold out quite quickly. The Candy Pieces are also from the same kit, they are from the 25 Days Of Christmas Border Stickers available here!

Thinking of You with White Rose Crafts!!!



Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my weekly post for White Rose Crafts. Sorry I am a bit late posting tonight but let me just say it has been crazy.
My first project was made using a Woodware UK stamp set "Thinking of You" that I stamped using ScrapBerry  Inks in Light Brown and Brick Red . I used Prismacolor Pencils to color the flowers on Kraft Cardstock.
This second project was made using Woodware UK's stamp set titled "Love Me, Love My Dog". This was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with my Memento Markers. I used my Scan n Cut to cutout the word DOG and then stamped the bone, bowl and pup directly on the card base. I used Pop Dots to give dimension to the cut panel.

I hope you have enjoyed this projects today. Please see the great products available at the White Rose Crafts online store.
