 Hello Everyone! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Today I am here with a Birch Press Design Team Project! Let's make a Halloween card but add a Birthday Celebration to it, featuring the Rectangle Dot Layer Dies. So, gather up all your favorite colors for Halloween. Mine are always purple, lime green, orange and black. Once you have your card stock together grab your dies and let’s cut some paper! So, I first arranged my colors in the order I thought looked best and set a frame die onto each card stock and ran them through my die cutting machine. Now you can put your card together two different ways. First you can keep each of your card stock just as it is cut and layer them on top of each other. This will give you some dimension with out adding all the double-sided foam tape!  I chose to use the die one size down for each of my panels and cut out the inside of each. This way I was able to create a die-inlay effect but using a frame die! After all my card stock was cut I started layering them together, and the final piece I popped up using some double-sided tape. This was all done directly onto my Standard A2 size card base.  I then grabbed a scrap piece of black card stock and stamp my sentiment using the Best Friends Clear Stamp Set with my clear embossing ink and white embossing powder and heat set until it was all melted. I placed this on an angle onto my black panel. To embellish my card, I chose to use my gloss drops in purple lime green and orange. I think it just added to the cauldron effect I was going for with this card. If you want to see more details just click on the video below and see our project come together step by step!

 Hello Everyone! It’s Desiree here with another design team project for Scrapping for Less! Today I want to show coloring a stamp image using PrismaColor Pencils! You all know this is my medium of choice when I color ANY image, LOL… For this image I wanted to show my prismacolor pencils some love, yes, I have been neglecting them, shame on me! The stamp set I am going to use is called Raccoon Rascals and it is by Newton’s Nook! So, let’s get comfortable and start coloring! I started my project by stamping my images using a very pale grey dye ink. I wanted to color my image to be a no-line color design.  The paper I chose to use is my Mixed Media Toned Grey by Strathmore. It is perfect for color pencil mediums. Once my image was colored and grabbed my standard A2 size card base in desert storm and stamped another image inside with more sentiments.  I popped my colored panel up using doubled sided foam and we have a fun and cute birthday card for anyone! Don’t forget to join the Scrapping for Less Show and Share Group – COME AND SHARE YOUR WORK! Come see just how quick and easy this project is, and how it is a great stash buster!

Now we know Tim Holtz, Stampers Anonymous had to be part of this right? The stamp set I chose is called Pumpkin Heads... and I think they are great! Happy, Funny, Evil and even confused pumpkins are ready for any card!  I used Archival Ink in Potting Soil to stamp and Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors to color my images (see List below). Paper I chose is Canson XL Water Color, which is usually my go to when water coloring.  What is great with these images is they are already show you were your shading should go, so my darker colors were used there... I tries to make each pumpkin different in color to help make them stand out. Here is a list of the water colors I used for this project!

Welcome back for Day 3 of my Halloween Series for 2018! We are going to make a tag today... I love tags, and if you have been following me you have heard me say this many times... LOL... Tags are so flexible in our paper-crafting and in our home decor! So making a tag is like making a two-fer... For this project I am featuring a stamp set by Picket Fences Studios and the Stampers Anonymous #8 Chipboard Tags...  I started my layers with an acrylic pain in a deep red. The paints I used are from Dick Blick Studio and come in many colors... Once that was dry we added a pattern paper from the America Crafts Spooky Boo 6 x 6 Paper Pad, but I added die cut claws to it. This way the red paint showed through!  Then stamped my image onto a piece of Bristol Card Stock using my versafine ink and then heat embossed with clear powder.. Used mu Distress Oxides to add some texture and dimension... Here is a list of just some of the products I used for this project! Picket Fence Studios - Yes, I do drive stick!

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!
