I SMELL JELLY BEANS- A STAMP DOCTOR PROJECT

Spring is in the air, bunnies are all around and Jelly Beans are on the scene. I'm not sure about you, but speckled Jelly Beans or plain black are my favorites.

Today I made a project using paper from the Easter Paper Pack 1, the Stitched and Nested Oval Dies sets, the Bunnies and Jelly Beans Combo,  and the Grass Edger Die.
I had so much fun making this card, and I hope you like it. It really didn't take too long once I had the idea of what I was going to do. I used LaLaLand Hybrid Ink to stamp my jellybeans. The Bunny is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black as I knew I would be using my alcohol markers to color it grey.

Your Own Kind of Beautiful with GinaK and Scrapping For Less

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, Spring has arrived and I am excited to share two Spring Time cards I made today using GinaK Designs "Your Own Kind of Beautiful" stamp set I really love this stamp set and could not just stop with one card.

With this first card I stamped out the cacti and cut with my Brother Scan N Cut. I then used a banner die to cut a shelf. I used Distress Oxide in Cracked Pistaccio and a blender brush to make a background.Using Artist Loft Markers I colored up the images and after using stitched rectangle dies and ScraPerfect glue to put my layers together, I used foam tape to pop up the shelf and this card was complete. 

I decided I needed a little more fun with this set, and this bicycle reminded me of one I had in high school. Using paper from a 6x6 paper pad for my background and a Spellbinders window die,  to make this scene work. I colored the image with Artist Loft markers and adhered my layers using ScraPerfect glue. The bicycle is adhered using foam tape for pop.

Christmas is Coming and White Rose Crafts is Celebrating

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my weekly post for White Rose Crafts. It is Christmas Week and I have had fun with this.
This first project was probably the easiest I have ever made in my years on design teams.
Using 2 of the pages from an Authentique 6x6 paper pad "Christmastime". The first panel I cut to 4"x5.25" The next I cut to 3.75"x 5". These were layered and added to a standard A2 top folding card base.  I used a Sparkle Blend set from last year called Christmas Freebie, and while it is no longer available, Boughs of Holly is very similar and would be a suitable replacement.

 For this second card I went back to Lawn Fawn. This is the Winter Penguin stamp set. I stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and Lady Bug Red. I used Memento Markers in Lady Bug Red, Tangelo, Tuxedo Black and Lulu Lavendar to color my image. My first panel of red with white snowflakes is cut 4"x 5.25" from Authentique "Christmastime"  6"x6" paper pad. The plaid panel is cut 3.75"x 5" and is from American Crafts "Very Merry" 6"x6" paper pad.This is on a standard A2 side folding card base.

Season;s Greetings from Scrapping For Less

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with a project I made using Lawn Fawn's Simply Celebrate Winter Stamp Set.

This stamp set is so adorable with its gifts, gingerbread cookies, trees, snow people, ornaments, winter village and the Season's Greetings" sentiment. With all the cute items it was quite hard to decide what I was going to use for this project, but after thinking I came up with a fun idea. 

I used a pre-made card base from my stash, and a panel that fits the top of it, I used Distress Oxides in Broken China on the sky and a combination of Lucky Clover and Twisted Citron for the ground. My stamping is all done with my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

My coloring is all completed using Chameleon Markers in various colors.

I used Nuvo drops in Woodland Green and Autumn Red on the Gingerbread kids buttons. I used my Black Glaze pen on the eyes. I used Nuvo Crystal Drops on the rooftops and tree tops to simulate snow. 

This project was fun and I am so happy to share it with you today.

Hello, Sunset Giraffe with Creative Vision Stamps

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my first post with the Creative Vision Stamps design team. 

 Using the Giraffe from the Animals Foilables set and Pretty Penny Foil, I put this project together. The steps to make this project are as follows:
1. Turn on my laminator (Scotch) and let it heat up while I moved ahead to my background. 
2. Using Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry I blended my sunset background on Bristol Smooth Paper. 
3. I used a circle die to cut the sunset out and affixed it to my black background piece with double side tape.
4. By this time my laminator was nice and hot and I folded a piece of copy paper in half, put in the Toner Sheet from Foilables 58 and a 4" section of the Pretty Penny foil.

5. When the page came through my laminator I turned over and sent it through again upside down. 
6. Once it came through, I allowed a few minutes to cool and peeled back the foil and it was beautiful. 
7. I then put the Giraffe page in the same copy paper and the negative of the same foil Pretty Penny sheet so I could have the pretty swirls.

8. I ran this through my laminator twice as well, so that the pretty swirls were now attached to the giraffe like spots. 

9. I then cut out the giraffe using my Scan n Cut.
10. I used foam adhesive and clear dots to attach the giraffe to my background piece, and after diecutting Hello out of Coral paper, I attached using my Xyron X. 
11. Final step on this project was to add 3 yellow matte enamel dots in the upper left corner.

Inspire Dream Create with Pink & Main

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my Design Team project using the Pink & Main “Inspire” stamp set. This set is great and since I do love butterflies I knew was I was going to do right away. First I positioned the stamps on my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform and used the Bouquet Kaleidacolor ink pad to ink up the spray of butterflies, and Onyx Black Versa-fine Ink to make my stamp impressions. Once the Butterflies were stamped at the colors I wanted, I cleaned my stamp and stamped everything again using Versa-mark clear watermarking ink. I followed this up with Clear embossing powder and used my heat tool to set it. I  used Pale Periwinkle and Key Lime Nuvo Jewel Drops, although unfortunately one splotched on me (Desiree I need a Nuvo class)!!! I used paper from the March Flavor of the Month kit to layer my card panel on my base.

Hope you liked my project today.
