 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!

I am here with another design team project for Scrapping for Less! Today let’s pull out those small stamp sets we just have to have because let’s face it, they are just too cute! The stamp set I am actually using for today’s project is from the Flavor of the Month July 2018 Card Kit. It’s the Sunny Studio’s – Make a Wish stamp set. Ok, let’s get started and make some wishes come true but only use paper! I started my project by stamping my images using my VersaFine Black. I planned on coloring my images using my Arteza Real Brush Markers.  Once they were dry I used a stitched circle die from my stash and cut out my images along with 4 more circles. I grabbed some toothpicks and double sided and started to put together my cake toppers! I added some sequins and Nuvo drops because what cupcake does not need sparkle!  It’s that easy!

For today I had a craving for Caramel Apples and Lawn Fawn filled it…. for now, at least, LOL! The stamp set for my design team project is by Lawn Fawn and it’s actually called Caramel Apples! Caramel apples are perfect for that cool night in the fall! For this project I used my Memento Ink and alcohol markers to color my images! I also had a chance to use Lawn Fawn Knock on Wood paper pad! This pad is great for adding just a hint of texture on your card with out all the work! I grabbed three shades and cut them down.  For this card I actually followed a sketch, you can find it here at the Scrapping for Less Show and Share Group – COME AND SHARE YOUR WORK WITH US! I made sure my images were front center with the pattern paper placed around. Once I was finished I placed my design base onto my Standard A2 size top folding card base. Added some Nuvo Drops in dark walnut to give just something extra! Just click on the video below to see all the fun and creative details!

Always Remember… Be Inspired, Be Creative, ENJOY and SHARE what you create today! ~ Desiree YOUTUBE  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! Check out all the fun details in the video below!

Always Remember... Be Inspired, Be Creative, ENJOY and SHARE what you create today! ~ Desiree  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!

Always Remember... Be Inspired, Be Creative, ENJOY and SHARE what you create today! ~ Desiree  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!
