The Leaf Studio: November 2020

Joy's Puppies Scrap Page

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

Here's my last project for November...can't believe December is almost here!!!

I used papers and a scallop circle die cut from my stash. I brushed yellow Shimmer Brush on scallops.

I cut out the foiled embellishments from patterned paper and used foam tape for dimension. Title was stamped on woodgrain scrap paper using Floral Alphabet Stamp Set (CTMH).

Birthday Cards

You're My Jam + Multi Square Windows Thin Cut Cards

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I have a couple cards using the same Multi Square Windows Thin Cut die in different ways...

Card #1

This is how it looks like, with You're My Jam stamps and Blue Belle Sequins and a sentiment stamp from a previous Craft With Heart Cardmaking Kit Subscription.

Card #2

And this is how it could look, if you trim it to the size you want! I "framed" it with decorative tapes and only used You're My Jam stamps and some Blue Belle Sequins. This card was inspired by a sketch from a challenge (listed below), but I totally missed the deadline!

Challenges:

Card #1

AAA Birthday #19: For A Child and a DT Call

Seize the Birthday #203: 1, 2, and 3

Time Out #174: Festivals

Alphabet Challenge: P is for Party (We are 10yrs old)

{Thu} Tutorial: Multi-Color Stamping Mini Stamps CAS Cards + Process Video

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I'm using some CTMH Mini Stamps to create multi-color stamped images, using different ink colors. I find using mini stamp pads easier, but you could also use regular-sized ink pads or markers to achieve the same effect.
