Hello Everyone!

Let's get digging into those mountains of paper stacks we just have to hoard!  LOL...

A lot of our paper pads have sentiments built into them so why not make cards using them!  This series shows just how we can do that and still have beautiful cards for any celebration...

​So many ideas came for the cards in this series, but the one item I always seemed to grab was the leaf vine.

​Hello Everyone!
 
I am here with another project for Scrapping for Less!  Art Impressions Stamps!  Not sure I need to say anything else! LOL…  But you know I will!  I love their stamps from the images to the sentiments.  They are so unique, it makes it very difficult to turn away from them! The stamp set being featured is called ’Holy Moley’, and it is perfect for any celebration! 
Picture
​My medium of choice for coloring are my colored pencils, and I have many sets…  LOL This time I chose my Prismacolor pencils…  Once I chose my colors I started stamping my images using my VersaFine Black Ink and made sure I masked an area of my focal character so he could like he was holding the shovel.
Picture
Let the coloring commenced…  Must be honest, I never colored a mole before and really just went with it!  LOL…  Used a flower die from my stash and added color with my colored pencil and popped it up using a foam square!

Hello Everyone!
 
I am here with another project for Scrapping for Less!  This time let’s feature Avery Elle – Floral Bouquet!  This stamp set is perfect for Mother’s Day which is fast approaching!  Today is special day since it is my father’s birthday.  He never bought my Mom flowers because he hated to see them die.  So here is the bouquet my Dad would give to my Mom for Mother’s Day!
​Wait until you see just how easy and fast you can make this card!  I stamped my image twice on each corner with my sentiment in the center of the card with VersaMark Ink and then covered it with my Nuvo Black Detail Embossing Powder! 
Picture
Picture
​Now for the fun part…  get any type of blending tool and start dabbing your color around over the images!  I chose to use a finger dauber and my Distress Oxides in tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick and Aged Mahogany!  Spray it with water… A LOT, and watch the magic.
​Let it dry and pop it onto your card base!  It is that simple!

10 Cards - 1 Kit | Simon Says Stamp | April 2018 | Part 1

Hello Everyone!

By now we should all know that I love Butterflies!  So I fell in love with the Simon Says April 2018 Card Kit! This kit had so much to play with... 
The butterfly images resembled a stain glass window, but could still be colored in so many different styles!  So I made sure all coloring mediums were in front of me, I even found some I forgot I had!  LOL...


​Used my Prismacolor Pencils to create this beautiful rainbow on her wings!  and it wobbles!

​Alcohol markers from Stampin Up! to create shading and depth on the vine and butterfly! Added a light tint of the Squeezed Lemonade Oxide to the back of the sentiment! 


​We know the water colors had to come out!  I used my distress inks to add shadows and let the inks do the work!
Picture
The stencil was terrific since we could actually layer with it!  And using the two oxides (Squeezed lemonade and Mermaid Lagoon) when mixed you got a third shade!

    Well, hello there everyone! My name is Desiree Kuemmerle and I live in Lansdale, PA with the hubs of over 20 years and our furry bot Max! I am fluent in Crafting, a Master Paper Manipulator and a violator of all that makes sense... 

    Since about the time I spoke my first word, I’ve been an avid crafter alongside my mom and sister. You name the craft and I’ve probably bought it, collected it, tried it and finally stored it. Right now, getting Inky, suffering paper cuts, cutting with metal dies and stamping everything, whether it moves or not makes me smile and I must pass that along to everyone I know and don’t know!
