Perk Up and Start the New Year... SFL Jan 2019 FOTM

Let’s “Perk Up and Start the New Year” with our January Flavor of the Month kit. I have a little story to tell…I never drank coffee until I retired about 6 years ago from teaching school…cause who wants a cold cup of what is supposed to be hot coffee? 

So now…with my wonderful flavored creamer I enjoy a cup of coffee every morning and especially love drinking my coffee while watching crafty videos on YouTube…so sit back and take a look at our Coffee themed FOTM blog hop this month. 

And my projects for this hop!!

Now for my project!!!
I used the Lawn Fawn "Sweetest Flavor" stamp set and Reveal Wheel Add On Die to make this project. I also used a banner die from my stash.
I used distress oxides in Cracked Pistachio and Squeezed Lemonade for my background as they went perfect with the Doodles Paper Playground "Limonade" Sparkle Blends that are in each of my 5 shakers.
I used Judikins Embossable Window Plastic Sheets to act as my cover on the inside of my shakers. And I doubled up my Foam Mounting Tape as my adhesive to give it just enough height for the sparkle blends to move.
My favorite ice cream flavors are Mint Chocolate Chip and Banana, so these colors worked for me to make this project. Give me a cone with either of those flavors or both and I am happy.

You Are My Anchor with White Rose Crafts

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with a Water Activated Ink project from White Rose Crafts.

I had a great time with this project and here is how I did it. First I used a panel of water color paper cut 4.25" x 5.5". I then took out my Distress Oxide Reinkers in Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch. I wet the paper a bit with a clean paint brush and dropped on some of the Tumbled Glass, once dry I did the same with Mermaid Lagoon, and again once dry I did the same with Blueprint Sketch, moving down the page allowing the inks to blend together but also giving them a chance to be alone. Once the entire panel was dry I spritzed with my clean water just to add some spotting.
I stamped on a different panel the images from Lawn Fawns Float My Boat stamp set.
I then used a set of distressed edge dies from my stash to cut out my panel, attached it to my card base with foam tape and then attached my images. I did attach the anchor to the boat using some Lawn Fawn bakers twine.

Coffee and Friends Right Meow and Scrapping For Less

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. Its LeeAnn and I'm here with a couple cards I made using Your Next Stamps "Coffee... Right Meow".
The little guys in this stamp set are so adorable I just knew 2 cards were coming out of me for this post.

For my first card I used Chameleon Markers to color my kitty, I used Vintage Photo Distress Oxide in the background and stamped the sentiment using Hot Fudge colored ink from MFT. I used an Ivory panel and Golden Yellow card base to bounce the color from his yellow coffee cup. 

For my second project I used a Kraft colored card base, the next layer is from an older DCWV 12x12 paper pack called "Latte Love".  I used a couple of stickers from the Paper House  3D sticker pack called "Coffee Talk" and added my 2 little friends drinking their coffee together chatting about the good times they have shared together.

In just a few short days the Sneak Peeks will begin for the January 2019 Flavor of the Month Kit. I am so excited to share my project with you on Monday.

To make this project I used the Tim Holtz Urban Grunge stamp set. Using a panel of distress cardstock I stamped out the script stamp 4 times using VersaMark ink. I then used Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it. 

Once the embossing powder cooled I stamped the LOVE stamp that came in the set 3 times using Scrapberry's Pink Pigment Ink. 

I used a distress cut die from my stash to cut out this panel, and added it to a Hot Pink card base. Finishing touches were to add 3 heart buttons  to the front panel and this card was complete.

Happiness is... with Scrapping For Less

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my first project of the year representing Scrapping For Less.
This month is ALL ABOUT COFFEE, and oh boy am I excited. I think I own more coffee products for my crafts than any other and my stash just continues to grow.

For this card I used a rubber cling stamp "Shared Coffee" by Stampendous and stamped it using MFT Hot Cocoa ink. I then used Chameleon Markers to color in the Coffee cup and saucer. The background paper of coffee beans is from the Echo Park "Coffee" paper pad.
This was honestly such a quick and easy card to make and it is one of my favorites that I made this month. Stay tuned this coming Friday for the next two.

Little Acres and White Rose Crafts

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my project this week featuring Little Acres Stamps.
For my project I used the Mr. Nuts stamp set. I did use this set before and just had to use it again as this little guy is too cute.

To make this card I started with stamping the tree image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I then Masked off the tree and stamped teh squirrel so he would appear to be coming from behind the tree. I used alcohol markers to color my images. I did when stamping wipe off some of the ink round the knot in the tree so that I could then stamp the heart with the arrow in there.
Once all this was complete I used Lucky Clover and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides to blend in the background.
I then layered my panel and added it to an A2 size card base.

Save 15% using the code Little Acres this week in the Little Acres section of the store.

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

I Love You... Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with a project I made for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog.

Sketch 298 is the sketch for this week, and the inspiration for my project.

My card...

I love taking sketches and putting my own twist on them. For this card I used a hot pink card base measuring 4.25"x5.5". My next layer measures 4"x5.25". Moving down I used a black panel measuring 3"x4.5" and the next hot pink measuring 2.75"x4.25". 

The heart was made using a Tim Holtz Scribbles die. The Grey strip and flags were cut using dies from my stash. 

The Sentiment "I Love You" is from a Woodware Stamp Set in my stash, stamped using VersaFine Black Onyx Ink.  

I hope you enjoy this card, and stop over at the Atlantic Hearts Challenge Blog and take the time to enter the challenge yourself. This challenge runs until January 13, 2019.
