Zombies!

Hey everyone! leslierahye here to share with you a fun card I made using the Halloween Stuff Bundle and the Feelin' Witchy Bundle! I made this as part of the 31 Days of Halloween hop and wanted to share it here with you today! I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Pens and layered the images with cardstock and some upcycled blue jeans to create my Zombie scene! I hope you enjoy it!

leslierahye's 2nd Annual Earth Day Blog Hop

Happy Earth Day Melonheadz Fans!!! What a fantastic way to celebrate!!! Nikki has this wonderful bundle in her etsy that is perfect for upcycled crafting and celebrating Earth Day with kids in your life! For the Earth Day Blog Hop I upcycled a metal basket that I had outgrown for holding my markers and decided to transform it into a garbage can for my kids to use on their craft table. I hope you enjoy my project!

Happy Polar Bear Day!!

To celebrate International Polar Bear Day I knew I had to use these super cute Polar Bear digis and the fun striped paper from the months set from Melonheadz Illustrating.

Digital paper and months bundle

To create this card I used colored images, lined the edge of the polar bear image with lavender BIC Mark-its and lined the edge of the trimmed background paper with black to match the design. I fussy cut out some salmon and used foam tape to add dimension. I created a title "Best Fishes" on my computer with a decorative font. Working with precolored images help speed up your cardmaking so that you can celebrate everyday! So, Best Fishes to you on International Polar Bear Day!

Matchbook Valentines

leslierahye here with a fun project that I created with my daughter Samantha for her class Valentines using this Valentine's Set. If you've never worked with digital stamps before, here is a reason to get started! To create 24 of these for her class was super easy. 

I created a simple template in Publisher where I could make 3 base pieces at a time. The base is 8½×3" wide. The saying was shrunk down to about 2¾" wide and turned side ways to print 3 to a page. The bases were trimmed to 8½×3" and then scored at 3", 3-3/8", 6-3/8",6¾"--about an ¼" was removed from the first 3" square to help the matchbook close easier. 

9 monkeys at a time were printed so that they could be trimmed out to 2¾×2¾" for the covers. They were glittered and then trimmed. sentiments saying "from Samantha" were printed on 1½×2¾" pieces. I used a special tab punch to create a tab to tuck the cover into but that could easily be a punched circle or heart adhered on so that the top created a pocket.

The candy was adhered to the matchbook with a piece of double-sided tape. This project was fun and easy to do with my daughter...I did the designing and cutting, she did the glittering and taping. We hope you enjoy it and perhaps it will inspire you to make your own! We'd love to see them!
