    • SNEAK PEEK Day 3… Myths and Legends

      Posted at 8:01 am by LeeAnn McKinney
      May 20th

      Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my project for the day 3 Sneak Peek of the May 2019 Flavor of the Month card kit. Get your order in now so you have it before it sells out. Be sure to head over to Scrapping for Less to grab yours!

      PicsArt_05-19-10.32.08This card was made using paper from one collection, stamps/twine from another, tag from another and sentiment from yet another. I had so fun putting this together and really hope you enjoy.

      I stamped the open book image and cut using my Scan N Cut. I then stamped the lantern, fireflies and mushroom with GinaK Amalgam ink and colored with alcohol markers. I stamped the sentiment using Versamark and heat embossed using Gold embossing powder.

      I took one sheet of 6″x6″ pattern paper and used both sides of it for this card. One side is my background and the other are the pretty flowers pocket along the bottom. I used Kraft colored cardstock from my stash for layers and my card base so that it was all brought together with the Kraft tag. The tag is a bookmark that can pull out of the pocket to use later.

      The May Hop is this coming Saturday at 12:00 am. Be sure to check back and see what the team has in store for you. And Be sure to head over to Scrapping for Less to sign up for your kit today!

    • Let’s Get Kraken with Scrapping For Less

      Posted at 8:30 am by LeeAnn McKinney
      May 15th

       

      Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here on my new blog and ready to get Kraken. using this great stamp set by Newton’s Nook, and other supplies from Scrapping For Less, I had some fun crafty time putting this together for you to enjoy.

       

      Nuvo Liquid Glue Gina K Amalgam Ink “Black”
      Newton’s Nook “Message In A Bottle” Stamp Set
      Distress Oxide inks in Various Colors:Distress Oxides in Various Colors:
      Broken China, Salty Ocean, Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral, Squeezed Lemonade MFT Radiating Rays Stencil Lawn Fawn Shadow Box Ocean Dies

       

      Using the Amalgam Ink I stamped out the images of the Kraken, Bottle and Scroll. Using my Scan n Cut I cut the images and then the bottle again from a card panel.

       

      Using the water layers from the Shadowbox Ocean Set and stitched rectangle dies I cut the panel to the exact size I wanted and then started playing with my Oxides.

      First I used Salty Ocean and Broken China to blend on the bottom of the main panel, and the 3 water layers. I the varied with the Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Abandoned Coral to create the sunrise. Once satisfied with the blend, I grabbed my Radiating Rays Stencil and the Squeezed Lemonade again to get those rays just right.

      I used Nuvo liquid clue and adhered a panel of acetate to the inside of the top panel, I then adhered one of the water layers. I added some foam tape around the sides and put in some sequins from my stash. I had already added the scroll with the “Let’s Get Kraken” sentiment to the panel of my cardbase, so that it would show through when the main panel was attached. Once the top panel was added to the base with the shaker intact, I was able to add the 2nd and 3rd water layers along with the Kraken in its rightful place among the waves. After adding a few water drops to activate the Oxides, my card was complete.

    • Turn Your Frown Upside Down… With SFL and Picket Fence

      Posted at 8:00 am by LeeAnn McKinney
      May 6th

      Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with a project I had a lot of fun creating.

      This Picket Fence stamp set came in perfect timing. I had a coworker who has been down a bit lately, not like herself. While at work the day after this stamp set arrived I started thinking about what I could do, and I came up with this card. The next day it was on her desk when she arrived and now it hangs on her corkboard.

      To make this cute card, I first stamped the Picket Fence Sympathetic Unicorn and Cloud out with Gina K Designs Black Amalgam Ink. I knew I would be using Alcohol Markers and this is a safe ink to use. I alternated colors with my markers to color the mane in a rainbow scheme.

      The sentiment is stamped inside the card using the same Amalgam ink.

      The background pattern paper sheet is from Bo Bunny “Believe” collection.

      I stamped the sentiment on a sheet of vellum using the Amalgam ink and heat embossed using Nuvo Jet Black embossing powder. Using strategically placed liquid Multi-Medium Matte under the sentiment, cloud and unicorn

      I was able to adhere the Vellum without it being seen. I finished the card off with some “Love Potion” Nuvo Dream Drops.

      20190428_183813

      Hi Everyone! Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a card made using a stamp set from Sunny Studios “Home Sweet Gnome”!  I love gnomes so I was super excited to be able to make a card with this set!  I also used the Knock on Wood Lawn Fawn paper pad. You can head over to Scrapping for Less to pick up yours at a great price.  Be sure to check out my video for all the details HERE!

      To make this card I did a lot of masking!  A LOT!

      I stamped and masked the images on the largest die cut circle I have about 4 inches. Next, I used distress oxides, a cloud and hillside stencils to add some color to the background.  I colored the images with Copic markers and then used a smaller smaller circle die on the front panel.  I popped the panel up with some foam tape and put it over the larger circle directly on to the card.  I cut a 1/2 inch strip for the sentiment and then added sequins from a past SFL FOTM card kit and a purple bow from some ribbon.

      Thanks for stopping by!

      Inspiration from Teresa

      I thought I would leave you today with a little bit of inspiration and a story. My absolute favorite flowers are tulips…unfortunately I live in Florida and tulips won’t grow here so I gravitate toward tulip stamps! I used the stamp set called “Timeless Tulips” from Sunny Studio Stamps to create this card. The tulips are as timeless as the myths and legends we will present this month through our card designs.

      Supplies Used
      Sunny Studio “Timeless Tulips”

      Sunny Studio 6×6 Paper Pad “Dots & Stripes Pastels”

    • LaLa Land “Dream Come True”

      Hi Everyone!  I am here today using he LaLa Land Crafts stamp set “Dream Come True” you can pick up this set over at Scrapping for Less.  When I saw the sentiment “You are my dream come true” I knew I wanted to have the knight dreaming of the princess.  Be sure to check out the video HERE for all the details.

      20190427_173505I am making an A2 size card so started out stamping the images on to a card panel that was 5 1/4″ X 4″.  I used a cloud die to create a mask for a thought bubble. Then I masked the images and used distress oxides to make the background using a cloud and hillside stencil.  I colored the images with Copic markers and heat embossed the sentiment on to a sentiment strip.  I used my cropodile to round the edges of the panel and the two edges at the opening of the card and added Morning Dew Nuvo Drops for the little dots going to the thought bubble.  I finished it off using the Nuvo Sparkle Pen on the Princess crown and dress and also on the Knights plume, shield and the flag and a few puffy gold sticker dots.
