​Hello Everyone!

We are back with another design team project for Scrapping for Less! Today, let’s have fall be magical and elegant at the same time! Fall pulls in some great depth and richness in our color choices!

​The stamp set for my design team project is by Brutus Monroe and it’s called Conservatory of Quotes! The floral bouquet is perfect for any coloring medium you want to dig into and play around with!

​For today, I had to choose my distress inks, they have been very neglected lately and I wanted to create a water color background affect. I remember seeing a video by Kristina Werner and I just fell in love with the colors she chose…  I was very much inspired by her and the panel she made! Once I chose my colors, I pulled out a piece of Canson XL watercolor paper and traced a rectangle using one of my dies from my stash.  I used my blue tape to secure my water color panel down since there was going to be a lot of water going on here…

​Picked up my colors that I laid down onto my craft earlier and went to town just dropping them all in.  I did this twice making sure it was dry in between each time I added more color.

After this was completely dry I stamped my focal image and sentiment using my versafine black ink and heat set it with my clear embossing powder. Trimmed my panel down to 4 1/4 in x 5 1/2 in and adhered it to my card Standard A2 size top folding card base.

​Added some Nuvo Drops in black to give just some added shine!  So now we can let fall begin with elegance!

Hello Everyone!

We are back with another design team project for Scrapping for Less!   Today I am going to show you a ‘gem’ of a card!  LOL

The stamp set I used for my project is by Heffy Doodle and it’s called Geology Rocks!  Some great images to color along the sentiments to match!

​I started by stamping my images using VersaFine black ink and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Glitter Markers. I love these, and they come in so many different colors! Once they were dry, and yes I helped this along with my heat tool… I fussy cut them out and set them aside so I could work on my card base.

​I decided to attempt a gatefold card so I cut my cardstock 5 1/2 in x 8 1/5 in and scored each side at 2 1/4 in.  This way each side folds in to create that simple gate fold card!  I stamped one of my sentiments on the lower right-hand side, and another for the inside to add something extra!

​I placed my diamond images on a diagonal up my card front with the center focal image propped up with some double-sided foam squares and extended over the right-side edge of my gatefold!  Now how easy was that!

Check out all the fun details in the video below!

Hello Everyone!

I am back with another design team project for Scrapping for Less!  There are still MINI Kits available from Scrapping for Less from their past release!  I wanted to feature one of them for you today! I am a huge fan of the small stamps sets that Lawn Fawn creates…

The stamp set I used by Lawn Fawn is called Year Four and is part of a mini collection exclusively here at Scrapping for Less!  

​I started my card by die cutting 2 images from three different card stocks available in the kit. I then created my own background pattern paper by placing my die cuts all over my panel. This is one of my favorite techniques and one I use most often!  I then stamped my images to get them ready to use my colored pencils.  We all know this is my medium of choice, there was a chance though the alcohol markers were going to make an appearance!  LOL

​I chose a piece of vellum as my backdrop for my images so they would stand out above the background.  There was a lot going on there! I added simple doodles to my balloon ribbons and sequins to my Birthday Cakes!  Gotta have some shimmer and sparkle, right?!? 

See all the details in the below video!

Hello Everyone!

I am here with another project for Scrapping for Less and for this one I learned something!  We always learned something new everyday! Did you know that you can get MINI Kits from Scrapping for Less from their past releases!  I did not…  LOL But now I know and I can pass this information on to all of you!  ENJOY!

​The stamp set I am using was created exclusively for Scrapping for Less by Pink n Main!  It is called Wild and Free and has the most adorable images to color in any medium of your choice!

​I started by stamping my sentiment and heat set with white fine detail embossing powder!  I then stamped my image using my Black Tuxedo on both smooth white card stock and a piece of pattern paper from the mini kit…  Colored using my alcohol markers and fussy cut my image out. From the image on the pattern paper I cut out the bill, so I could paper piece!

​I set my background panel in place onto my standard A2 size card base and layered the burlap tag, included in the kit, on top.  Grabbed a couple of the washi stickers and set my sentiment above the tag and placed my imaged above my sentiment! 

Come see all the details below!

​Hello Everyone!

I am here with another project for Scrapping for Less!  Now you are going to see double here, but today I just have to showcase the Scrapping for Less Stamp Set that is available in the Banana Split level of the Flavor of the Month Card Kit for July 2018!  This is the perfect stamp set to create many cards for any celebration!  …yes there are still some kits available!!!!

When I first saw this stamp set I immediately knew I wanted to use my Zig Real Brush Watercolor Markers!  I started by stamping all my images using Versafine Black Ink onto Bristol Card stock and then I used my clear embossing powder to set the ink in place and give me a barrier for my watercoloring. I find this is easier for me to color my images since I am still learning how these full work and operate…  LOL  We are always in a learning process, right?

​I dug around in my box of Zigs and pulled out all the colors that made me smile! …and then went to town laying down the color in an area of the image and then pulled it out with my aqua brush!  For the flamingos, I decided to not use the aqua brush but rather two different colors blended together straight onto the card stock!! I really liked the look!

After my images were colored I pulled out some pattern paper from the Bo Bunny – Escape to Paradise Collection! Yes this is available in the Card Kit ALSO! …and a die from my stash to create a wave along the left side under my design panel! Popped it up onto my 4.25 in x 5.50 in top folding card base!

​Hello Everyone!
 
I am back and with another project for Scrapping for Less!  Today let’s feature Lawn Fawn!  The stamp set is called ‘So Jelly’ and adding the ‘Ocean Wave Accents’ die set! So many options available for a creative day from this stamp and die set! So, let’s get started and celebrate under the sea!!! 

 ​I started with shades of blue cardstock from my scrap pile (ok box!) and used a frame die from my stash to cut create the shapes of the ocean. Next, I placed the Ocean Wave Accent Die around to get waves cut into my panels. I then stamped the images using my Black Tuxedo Memento Ink since I knew I was going to color these with my alcohol markers. I am getting a little bit better… I think, LOL!
