Leah Schaeffer sharing with all you die cutting fan today! I've used one of our newest cutting files and I just fell in love. We have another lantern that I've used a few times so I was totally into this new one...maybe I can do something with all the lanterns? Hmmm. Anyways, check out this file if you've not done so yet, Gnomies.
Even though this new lantern file came with a heart in the center, I added some foam heart stickers and then reinforced that with the embossed background. I really like the details on this card. Kinda simple, kinda not.
Do you know how hard it is to wait for something to dry before you can finish up the project! I almost ruined this so many times trying to see if it was dry enough to add the layers on top! Ha! I know I'm not alone with that! The shine from the Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents over top make this the coolest embellishment!
Hi there everyone, Leah Schaeffer with you on this fine Monday. I actually did a project life styled double page. Every single time (well, the few times I've actually done so) I think the I really ought to be making more. It's a bit quicker and just something different. I kept the design simple and plan at some point to add some journaling. It was also the first time I used some of these cutting files and I just adore them and can't wait to play more as we get into the Summer!
And here are the files I've used to create this...
Hi puppy lovers! Leah Schaeffer with you today to share my very first fur baby layout ever! Little Toby came home to be with us just a year ago and these were some of his very first photos with us. Honestly think this little guy is the sweetest doggy I've met! Such a love! So being able to create this felt like a wonderful treat.
I wanted to design a page that had that happy, spring day kinda feel and I think that each file I pulled images from ended up being perfect. The dimension to the page was easily created by thinking of the scene you are creating. The additions of the clouds for example just add one more layer. Popping the forefront images helped again to add a feeling of space on the page.
Trimming and adding foam tape to this title may have taken forever, but really helped bring attention to this detail. As well as the layering and inking.
All of the layers were inked. Yes, that is a bit time consuming but by doing so, each and every layer of each image really comes to life! To add even a bit more, I used my markers to add details. Dots on the buttefly, "fur" on the doggy, details on the snail. Even each flower center has a detail inside! Also mixing some printed paper with solid paper adds a bit more interest then only one or the other.
