Happy Summer!

Hi there friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my second project of my guest design spot. 

 I LOVE this little guinea pig as much as he loves his watermelon. Now, I'm wondering if I am part guinea pig as I have been eating a whole lot of watermelon this summer. 
I stamped this little guy with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. The background pattern paper is from Craft Consortium called Tropical Paradise. 

I'll be back on September 18 with my next fun post. 

You can find me on all social media channels as Leeanngetscrafty.

Happy Fall Y'all

 

Hey, Crafty Friends - are you excited that Fall is right around the corner!  Kathy here sharing my last card as a Gerda Steiner Designs Guest Designer - it's been SO much fun and am so grateful to have had this opportunity to highlight some fabulous goodies from Gerda Steiner Designs!!

 

For my card, I first layered dark brown cardstock to the card base.  I then layered several different fall-themed pattern papers to the dark brown cardstock base.  Using a pierced circle die, I cut orange cardstock for a backdrop to the copic colored images.

This darling squirrel and branches/leaves images from the HAPPY FALL stamp set were Copic colored and fussy cut then popped up onto the card.  The sentiment, also from this set, was stamped onto yellow cardstock and cut with a mini banner die then popped up onto the card.

Here's to a blessed, happy Fall season to all!

I'm Nuts About You

 

Who's ready for fall?!  Kathy here sharing one of my first fall cards featuring the ADORABLE new, NUTS ABOUT YOU stamp set!

While summer is one of my favorite seasons, I'm looking forward to cooler weather and getting out my light sweaters.  Not to mention, I love fall colors!

For my card, I layered dark brown cardstock onto the card base.  I took strips of four different fall pattern papers and glued them together.  I then took orange cardstock, die cut a circle opening and then adhered the strips of pattern paper behind the opening before adhering the entire orange cardstock piece to the dark brown cardstock.

Is this little guy the cutest or what?!  Our little squirrel friend, acorns and sentiment are from the new NUTS ABOUT YOU stamp set.  The images were copic colored, fussy cut and popped up onto the card.  The sentiment was gold heat embossed onto a strip of  brown cardstock then placed in the center of the die cut circle opening; tucking in the ends.  To finish, I added yellow glitter enamel dots.

Wonderful Water-Melon Muncher

 

Happy Summer!  Kathy here sharing a sweet summer card featuring the adorable MELON MUNCHER stamp set!

I hope you are enjoying these last days of summer not to mention some yummy summer fruit favorites like watermelon!

For my card, I first layered dark green cardstock to the card base.  I then added this pattern paper layer, putting glaze on the "watermelon pits" to make them shiny.  Using a pierced circle die, I cut dark green, black and lime green cardstock and layered them together for the backdrop for this super sweet MELON MUNCHER image which is copic colored and fussy cut.  The sentiment from this set is white heat embossed on a black cardstock mini tag and I added a lime bow.

Enjoy the remaining days of summer!

Happy Summer Melon Muncher

 

Hey, Crafty Friends!  Kathy here and I'm super excited to share my first card as a Gerda Steiner Guest Designer!

One of the best parts of summer is the yummy fruit - especially watermelon!  This little cutie can't get enough of his juicy melon!

 

For my card, I layered lime green cardstock to the card base.  I embossed a piece of pink cardstock to layer on top of that.  I had a strip of watermelon pattern paper in my stash which worked perfectly for this set then created a framed background for this adorable MELON MUNCHER stamp set. I copic colored the image and then fussy cut it before popping it up on the framed background.  The 'happy summer' sentiment is included in the set.  To finish, I added several black shiny enamel dots.

Hope YOU are having a very HAPPY SUMMER!
