You're Sweeter Than... an A2Z Design Team Project

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my first project for the A2Z design team.

For my project I used 2 of the images from the Sugartree Stamps set titled Farmhouse...

After deciding which images I wanted to use (the mason jar of tea and the matching sentiment) I sized them on my computer and printed them with my HP printer. 

I then used my Brother Scan n Cut to cut the mason jar of tea image, as well as a shadow for it.

I used my Artist Loft markers to color the image and layered my pieces using ScraPerfect's Best Glue Ever.
My base is from a Hero Arts Birthday Card kit and thought the color was perfect to go with my image.

I hope you have enjoyed this project today. Please check out A2Z's Etsy Shop, Facebook Page and Instagram

The Stamp Doctor Brightens My Day

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my Friday post for The Stamp Doctor.
Today I wanted to make a card that should Brighten everyone's day...

This is an A2 size (4.25"x5.50"), flip flop card and lays flat to mail. As you can see in this second photo it has a flipping feature. 

To make this card, first I used a sheet of white 110 lb card stock and the Flip Flop die and ran it through my Big Shot. I then ran the die through again with bright yellow cardstock and then a panel of the Yellow plaid paper from the Easter Pack 1.
I used the included dies from the Flip Flop set to cut out the same bright yellow and yellow plaid for the sentiment panel in the center of the card.
I used the scroll corner stamp from the Happy Day stamp set for the top and bottom corner of the back panel. The inside of the back is where I will write my statement for the friend I am sending this to.

Products Used:
Flip Flop 2 Combo
Happy Day Stamp Set
Paper Pack Easter #1
Zig Zag Border Die

Introduction to Scrap Perfect and How to make a Happy Birthday Shaker Card

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with the announcement that I have been invited to join a new design team.

There are so many great items available from ScraPerfect, and I hope you will be as happy as I am to use it all.

Today for my project I used the Crafting Pouch, and The Best Glue Ever.

 The first thing I did was to use a Spellbinders die to cut two of the the doily form out of silver Rinea Foil Paper, one for each card.

I then gathered the supplies I would be using to make my shaker element.

The stamp is Starburst Sentiments from Rinea. The shaker form is from MFT. And of course I used The Best Glue Ever to hold it all in place.

 First I stamped the Happy Birthday Starburst. I decided to go with this one, as April is a very busy month for birthday's in my family.

 I glued the stamped panel to my foil doily and added some of the silver bits that remained after cutting the doily out, along with some of the Orange and Yellow glitter bits from ScraPerfect.

I then used the Perfect Crafting Pouch to get rid of the static on the Shaker Cover. I used the Best Glue Ever and glued down the shaker cover, as well as the paper element ring. I added this element first to a panel of cardstock that I used an MFT stencil on with Fossilized Amber and Carved Pumpkin Distress Inks to blend for my background, as I really felt the colors matched my shaker bits and stamped sentiment.

For the second card I used the same idea and used a panel from the DCWV Birthday Wishes Stack 6"x6" pattern paper as my background.

With this last one I decided to add a little more pop by way of 3 die cut balloons in coordinating colors to match the background.

When my project was complete I used the Best Cleaner Ever to clean my stamp, stamp block and stencil. I followed that by wiping everything down with the Perfect Cleaning Cloth.

In My Thoughts with The Stamp Doctor

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. My weekly prescription from The Stamp Doctor has been filled.

Today, I had some paper piecing fun.
I used the Bear/Bunny Paper Piecing set and cut from both black and cement colored cardsock. I then placed the pieces where they should be using Glossy Accents as my adhesive.
My card base was made using the Oval Pop A Top die, and the Nested Oval die set.
I used pattern paper from American Crafts as the background for this little Panda that I pieced together. This was the closest I could find to simulate bamboo leaves.
The sentiment came from the Happy Day stamp set, and stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black.

Congratulations from Scrapping For Less and Janes Doodles

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here today with a Congratulations card I made welcoming a new baby to the family.

 Making this card was challenging for me, I stepped out of the box for myself and did coloring and masking on a one layer card.
I used the Janes Doodles "Noah's Ark" stamp set, and stamped the waves out on Inkadinkado masking paper, and cut it out. I stamped the first set of waves where I wanted them and placed the masking paper over them.  I then stamped the Ark Scene where I wanted it on my card panel.

 Once that was complete I removed the masking paper to see how it appeared the Ark was behind the wave.

 I then finished stamping my waves and started coloring.

Using my Artist Loft alcohol markers, I started coloring my image, using 3 different blues for the water to show depth. To complete my card I cut frame using a die from my stash and added it to the panel, added my panel to my card base and addressed the envelope to mail it off.

Monsterous Wishes from The Stamp Doctor

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. My weekly prescription from The Stamp Doctor has been filled.

Today I chose to use the Stamp and Die set of Champ The Monster. First I stamped the Champ and hat images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, as I knew I was going to be using my Alcohol markers to color.
I colored up my images and used the matching dies to cut them out.
I searched my stash for a pattern paper that I wanted to use for my background, and found some shimmer cardstock to use for grass. So, using the Grass Edger Die I made a couple of cuts so that I could layer the grass. I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and finished off the project with some strategically placed clear dots.

Hello Baby from Sizzix and Scrapping For Less

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with another design team project for Scrapping For Less. Timing for this one could not have been any better.

For this project I used the Sizzix Baby Carriage Stamp and Die set, first I stamped the Carriage using Jet Black Archival Ink on Rinea Foil paper in 3 colors, Pink, Star Pink and Silver.
Using the dies that came with this set, I die cut the 3 carriages and 3 of the rattles using the same foil. I cut the different pink foils and used them on the silver carriage, one for the bassinet part and the starred for the cover.
Using other dies in my stash I cut the 3 circles from white and pink card stock.
The background cardstock is from Echo Park Birthday Wishes paper pack.

I hope you have enjoyed this card, and I certainly hope the new mom and baby this is being mailed to will enjoy it as well.

Beautiful Butterflies from The Stamp Doctor

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. My weekly prescription from The Stamp Doctor has been filled.

My background paper is retired from Stampin Up. I used the Spread Your Wings Stamp and Die combo to make this card.  I used Squeezed Lemonade distress ink on white cardstock for the underlayer of the butterfly, which I then cut with the die set. I cut the top layer of the butterfly out of black cardstock, I used glossy accents to glue the two layers together. I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Once my card panel layers were together, I used glossy accents on the center of the butterfly to adhere it to the card top, and the wings were popped up with foam dots.

You're Clawsome, from Scrapping For Less

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with a project I made using products from Scrapping For Less.

 I used the Lawn Fawn "You're Clawsome" Stamp Set, along with some dies in my stash to make this cute card.

 First I stamped out the image of the Clawgame, using MFT Extreme Black Ink and cut it out with my Scan N Cut. I used alcohol markers to color my images, and had so much fun doing so.

I used pattern paper from the MFT Collection called Sweet Stack, and a panel of Ballerina Pink cardstock to make my background layers. Using a Lawn Fawn slider die I cut the panel out of the top of the game, and used an MFT slider element to give the claw the ability to slide back and forth.

I hope you have enjoyed this project today as much as I enjoyed making it.

LTSCB Birthday Blog Hop

Hi everyone! The Love To Scrap Challenge Blog is turning SIX this month! To celebrate our birthday, please join us for our ‘Sixth Birthday Blog Hop & Challenge’ that’ll last six days (March 4-9), with six sponsors and six prizes! These are our fabulous sponsors:

Bugaboo Digi Stamps Prize: $12 gift certificate

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Prize: $25 prize code

Dr. Digi’s House of Stamps Prize: 2 digital images of choice

Fred She Said Designs $10 gift certificate CAD

Lawn Fawn Prize: $25 gift certificate

STAMPlorations Prize: $25 coupon code

As you hop, be sure to leave each designer some love and collect a letter on each blog. Several blogs will have two letters. Once you have collected all the letters, unscramble them and email your guess to ltscb@mail.com. We'll throw all the correct guesses into a hat and randomly draw six winners! The winners will be announced here on March 15th!

All of the LTSCB designers are creating Anything Goes inspiration projects. Everyone participating in the blog hop is invited to link up an Anything Goes project for an EXTRA entry into the drawing! Just be sure to use the same email address to email your guess and to link up your project so we can make sure you're given two entries!

 For this project I used an older CAS-ual Fridays stamp and die set called Girlfriend. I first used Distress Oxides to ink blend a panel which I cut out with a stitched rectangle die. I stamped friend using MFT Lavender dye ink and You are my best using Versafine Onyx Black ink. The flower was stamped using the same Lavender ink and layered with pink paper cut with the dies. 

This card was made using Lawn Fawn's Year Eight stamp set. I took the full fortune cookie and stamped out a pattern paper using Scattered Straw Distress Ink to get a no-line coloring look. I then used my alcohol marker to color each cookie. I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink as well as the piggy which is from the Hay There stamp set. 2019 is the Year of the Pig according to the Chinese Zodiac so I thought this little guy finished my project off just right. 

Now let's get back to the blog hop! My letter is A.

Next stop along the blog hop:

Leslie

We hope you are enjoying the hop! If you get lost along the way or if you landed here in the middle of the hop and want to join in the fun, head on over to the Love To Scrap Challenge Blog to read all the details and start from the beginning!

Coffee Anyone... just what The Stamp Doctor ordered

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my first project featuring stamps from The Stamp Doctor.

My prescription has been filled, coffee is just what The Stamp Doctor ordered. I fell in love with this Cofee Circles set right away, and knew it had to be used for my first post promoting this awesome company.
I stamped out the coffee mug, and used a mask so I could make some of these cups appear in front of the other. I then used alcohol markers to color my cups in rainbow pattern. I used my t-ruler to attempt to get my line straight for my countertop and colored it with an alcohol marker as well. Once it was all dry I used MFT Hot Fudge Ink to stamp the Coffee Sentiment and the Coffee Beans. To finish off this card I used Glossy Accents on the cups to add some shine.
