Smiling

Today I'm sharing a simple card I created for Little Blue Button Stamps. I used the new digi image Smiling girl. This new image was so fun to color and would look amazing on some mix media pages or projects! I chose to create a simple card and decided to spice things up and color the image with fun non traditional colors. I love the final results! Be sure to stop on by Little Blue Button Stamps and check out all the new digi images available in the store.
Thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping!

Winter Wishes Card for LBBS

Hello crafty friends! I’m so excited to be apart of Little Blue Button Stamps design team! It’s been an honor in the past to be a guest designer on several occasions and I’m thrilled to be sharing more of my projects with you.

Today I’m sharing a 6x6 winter wishes card with you.


I had so much fun coloring the new digi image Flora Button using a combination of my Copic Markers and my new favorite Inktense pencils. I colored Flora Button as if she was a snow princess, in shades of Blues, soft turquoises and grays. I used several winter themed papers from the Jack Frost paper collection by American Crafts for the background of my card. I used a Kiwi Lane template in the shape of a tree to create the dimensional snow frosted tree on the side of my card. I added white glitter to the shape of the tree to make it look as if it had snow on it. I finished my card off by adding a few snowflakes, some satin ribbon and a winter wishes banner.


Thanks for joining me today, I had so much fun creating this winter wishes card using Flora Button, and I look forward to sharing more of my projects with you!

Happy scrapping - Leslie

An Easel Card for Little Blue Button Stamps

Hello crafty friends! I’m so excited to be apart of LittleBlue Button Stamps design team! It’s been an honor in the past to be a guest designer on several occasions and I’m thrilled to be sharing more of my projects with you.

Today I’m sharing an easel card I created. I love creating these kinds of cards because not only are they a card but you can also display them.


I had the pleasure of working with the new digi image Charlie with Lantern. I colored Charlie’s hair, skin, shoes, and lantern with my Copic markers. I paper pieced Charlie’s shirt and pants with pattern paper. I wanted Charlie’s outfit to look real, like patterns and colors you would find us wearing. I love how realistic she looks. After coloring Charlie’s lantern I used yellow glitter glue to add some sparkle.  The yellow glitter glue also gave the look of light shining from inside of the lantern.


To finish off the card, I layered a textured gold metallic paper on the base of the card than added some coordinating pattern paper that I punched with an edge punch. For my final embellishments I added a flower cluster and some sequin trim.  I used another punch to create the easel stopper inside the card and added a sentiment along with a few gold embossed leaves.


Thanks for joining me today!  I look forward to sharing more projects with you!
Happy Scrapping
