Happy Crafting with Lisa

Hi everyone, I am Lisa and I will be doing a card today with a Sentiment that could be used for Valentines Day or any day of the year.  This Stamp and Sentiment is from A & M Memories Designs and the Masquerade Ball .   She is so beautiful and when making her I was thinking she needs some glitter..... Glitter makes everything better!!!!!!!   If you would like to try your hand at this beautiful lady yourself go to    A & M Memories and  use this code LISAA15 to get 15% off + mention LISAA in the comments too. .   I used Stickles Silver, gold, and red glitter from my stash.  I put this down with a very thin paint brush.  Now the was an experiment, after the glitter was down I did not think it was bright enough, so I did go over with some color later. The glitter looks OK but not fancy enough for this little lady. I colored the skin with Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers. and the dress I used Prisma Color Pen...

Hello and welcome back, I am Lisa and today I am going to be making a New Years card.   Can you believe in a couple of weeks it is going to be 2018.  The older you get the faster time flies by, it is crazy.  Today I am using a Digital Stamp from A&M Memories . I love A&M Memories stamps.  The faces on these ladies are great. Take a regular size card stock score down the center and fold.  Now when I say regular it is whatever size you want your card to be.  That is one of the problems with card making, we are always so worried about correct measures meant.  Well I am saying don't.  Now whatever size you make you base the next card stock that goes on top you just make sure some of the base is showing, and that can be 1/8 or 1/4 all the way around.  I usually put this layer sticking up with foam tape but I am going to add height on the figure.    I wanted to keep it winter themed so I use snow fla...

Hi everyone and welcome back, I am Lisa hope all is well.  I have two cards to share with you.  Both cards are done with A&M Memories stamps .  I did a coloring video on the Elf Queen Sparkle card, so I could share a couple of my techniques.  These tips are what I found work for me.   Crafters Companion Smooth Card Stock             This is a cut outs of a gift with gems inside to make it a shaker.  I did not like that the burlap did not have any color so I used the  Spectrum Noir Sparkle Markers  to give it a little color. This is the base card measures 4 x 5 1/2.   This is the top layer of the card this measures 3.75 x 5.25., and I used foam tape to adhere to the base of the card. This is the gift with the  Spectrum Noir Sparkle Markers . This is the washi tape I used for additional color to the card. I added the sentiment to the card and it ha...

Hi everyone and welcome back.  Is everyone getting ready for Christmas and getting your Christmas cards ready and done ?  Well today I am doing a Christmas card with Wrapping up Christmas and Sentiment ( Do not open until Christmas ) from A & M Memories .   I want to let everyone know right of the bat that I try to use all my equipment when making anything.  I hate more then anything purchasing equipment and not putting them use.  So today with my card I am using the Digi Wraping up Christmas and sentiment along with my Cricut Air explore 2 .  If you have the Cricut you will just need to upload the file into the Cricut and print and cut.  I do think that it is easier to color the image then cut. A & M Memories This is the Print and Cut image from the Cricut . This is after the images are cut with the Cricut , remember it is easier to color the image before you cut it. I usually use alcohol markers, I am tryi...
