Handmade With Love by Leica

Hello friends! Today I have a circle-shaped card, using a combination of previously-released stamp sets. I used the Spring Wreath Stamp Set and the Bee Friends Stamp Sets and their coordinating dies. To start, I cut a 4.5 inch circle and ink blended it with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. I sprayed some water to get an oxidized effect and also splattered it with white acrylic paint. I also cut another 4.5 inch circle, ink blended it with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks, and cut with a grass die. I adhered the grass area onto the Kitsch Flamingo panel. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the wreath from the Spring Wreath Stamp Set and bees from the Bee Friends Stamp Set . I used Copic markers - BG10, N3/1/0, R22/20/00/000, Y15/13/11, YG23/21. I then adhered the wreath onto the card panel and placed a smaller vellum on top for a softer look. I foam mounted the bees on top of the vellum. The sentiment is white heat embossed on a strip of black cardstock and adhere...

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a circle Christmas card. For this card, I used a previously released stamp set called  Winter Wreath  Stamp Set and the new  Winter Candle  die.  To begin, I cut a 4.5" circle in white cardstock and ink blended it with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink. I then cut a 4" circle in white cardstock and stamped the  wreath  in Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers - B39/37/34, G46/43/40, RV25/23/21, Y26/23/21. I adhered the smaller panel onto the larger circle. Next, I cut the  Winter Candle  twice - one in white cardstock and another in silver glitter cardstock. To easily piece the candle together, I turned it over and taped the edge of the border to the cut pieces. I then colored the candle with Copic Sketch markers - E42/41/40, G46/43/40, RV25/23, T5/3/1, Y18/13. Next, I adhered the silver glitter candle die on top to cover any coloring imperfections and for added interest. I...

Hello friends!Today I have a sneak peek of 2 new Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets - Cozy Fall Critters  and Falling Leaves . I combined images from these sets to create a fun circle shaped Autumn card. I started by cutting a 5" circle in a teal colored patterned paper and a 4.5" circle in kraft cardstock. I then adhered the smaller panel to the larger one.  Next, I stamped the images using Memento Rich Cocoa ink on 110lb white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers .  Fall leaves: YR14, Y18/13 YG67/63/61 YR07/04/02/00 R39/37/35/32 Acorns - E44/43/42 Mouse - C5/3/1, R32/30 Sweater - BG09/05/15, YR23/21/20 The larger leaves are from Falling Leaves Stamp Set and the rest of the images are from Cozy Fall Critters Stamp Set .

 Hi, friends! It's Leica here today. I have a card and tag set using a combination of old and new stamp sets from Pretty Pink Posh. The old stamp set is Bee Friends and the new one is Spring Circles . I love that the new Spring Circles stamp sets go perfectly together with other PPP products, such as the Hummingbird Thanks , any of the butterflies sets , Spring Robins , Spring Scene Die , and the new Flower Bouquets Stamp Set. Let's start with the circle card. To begin, I die cut a white cardstock using a 4.5" circle die and another one in 4". I then ink blended the smaller circle with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide ink and sprayed some water for some interest. I also cut a small part of the circle in white cardstock for the grass area and inked with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide. The scallop edge is cut using Scallop Borders Dies . I ended up with 2 layers of the grass area, because the inked smudged on the first layer so I fixed my mistake by adhering another laye...
