    • MFT Magical Dragons Birthday Card

      Posted at 7:30 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
      Jan 30th

      Hello, it’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog featuring an oldie but definitely a goodie stamp set by My Favorite Things called Magical Dragons.

      I used the MFT Mini Cloud Edges Stencil and Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender and Tumbled Glass to create the background. I alternated the four sides of the stencil with each color of ink.

      I stamped the dragons in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them in with my Copic Markers.

      I die-cut the panel with the MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle Dies. I also die-cut some clouds out of white glitter paper from my stash with the Paper Smooches Cute Clouds die.

      I finished off the card by gluing the clouds down flat, popping the dragons up on adhesive foam and stamping the sentiment with the black ink.

      Thanks for visiting,

      Hello, it’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a birthday card featuring the brand new January Flavor of the Month Card Kit “All About the Boys” that was just released this past Saturday.

      This kit is wonderful for making cards for the fellas in our lives. Whether they like kings and crowns or tools or gnomes and buffalo plaid they are surely going to love any card you’ve made with this kit.

    • 5 More Cards using Collection 4 from the FOTM Jan Card Kit!

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Jan 27th

      Hello Everyone! After the release of the January Card Kit – It’s All About the Boys – I wanted to see how many more cards I could make from 1 of the collections.

      In case you didn’t see my card from the reveal…

      I really like that there was a page that had 4 images with sentiments and I wanted to use those to turn into cards, so the layouts are close to the same.

      By the time i finished the 5th card from the collection I had mostly scraps left. So, I took a piece of white card stock and added all the extra strips then trimmed along the white card stock to make the focal panel. I added my last piece of cork and “hung” a saw and hammer I stamped and colored from the stamp set.

      After a total of 6 cards from this collection I had a few tiny strips of scrap paper (which were too small to save), a few enamel dots and the stamp set left!

      How many cards were you able to make with this collection?

    • Sweet Little Birthday Shaker Card featuring Winter Fairy

      Posted at 11:47 am by Stacy Tiedemann
      Jan 26th

      Hello!  It’s Beth and I’m back again with another guest design project for the SFL Winter Fairy Bundle!  Today I made a sweet little birthday shaker card.

      I’m using the sleeping fairy on the moon from the Winter Fairies stamp set and I colored her up with Copic markers in shades of pink.  I added some Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Diamond to the fur on her hat and clear Wink of Stella on her wings.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the cloud for some added dimension.

      I chose the light pink star patterned paper from the Winter in Pink paper pack as the mat for my A2 card.  I used my Silhouette to cut a scalloped square frame for my shaker element and then used a scrap of the pink stripe paper for the back of the shaker frame, to add a brighter pop of color.  I stamped the sentiment “Have a fairy” from the Winter Fairy House stamp set directly onto the pink striped paper, so you can see it through my shaker window.  I filled the shaker with some Martha Stewart Sugar Cube stars and sequins left from an old Flavor of the Month kit.  And, I added my sleeping fairy to the bottom corner of the shaker window.

      For the rest of my sentiment, I chose the “Happy Birthday” from the Winter Fairies stamp set and heat embossed it in black.  I added some little yellow stars at the bottom to embellish my sentiment and added some clear Wink of Stella to them for some additional sparkle.

      Thanks for checking out by card and I hope you enjoyed it!  You can check out the full process video here: https://youtu.be/rPWomAWJN_w   I think it would be super cute and fun card for a little girl’s birthday.  I’ve enjoyed being a guest designer this month and I hope to see you all again soon!

    • Sneak Peek Number Four!

      Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
      Jan 23rd

      Well hello and welcome!

      Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde with this week’s fourth sneak peek for January’s Flavor of the Month card kit. This month is “All About the Boys” and if buffalo plaid isn’t a great fit for masculine cards I don’t know what is! I am excited to share today’s card with you and also tell a quick story of some confusion I had and maybe clear it up for you all too in case you have the same question I did. So here is my card which I created using collection two “Buffaloed”.

      sflblogpost01232020sflblogpost01232020b

      When I got my kit in the mail and opened and was pouring over all the collections I came to this collection and read the sentiments and thought “What in the world does Buffaloed mean?”  I’m getting accustomed to not knowing new songs, new slang, and new actors/actresses. I thought I had new slang to learn but nope turns out it’s just a word I wasn’t familiar with. It means to be intimidated, so the way I used it on this card is saying “Don’t get buffaloed (intimidated). Stand your ground! Have a wild birthday!” Perfect for someone who may be facing a milestone birthday I think.

      That’s it for this sneak peek I hope you find some inspiration and maybe a new vocabulary word 😉 . Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to check out this card. Don’t forget it’s sneak peek week so check out the other peeks from previous days and come back tomorrow for the last one before the big reveal!

      If you need to sign up for your subscription click here. Take care and keep on crafting!

      Kim 🙂

    • Single Layer Beach Scene with SFL

      Posted at 11:00 am by Luci Manos
      Jan 22nd

      20200120_173719

      Hi Everyone!  Luci here with a single layer card using the Brand New Release from SFL “Winter Fairies” and “At the Beach Sentiments” from the June 2018 FOTM Kit! How adorable are these sets!

      I don’t know about you, but here in the Midwest the weather has been yucky and I’m about ready for a beach day! So I thought I would create my own.

      When I saw Crystal’s card using the lights in this set I knew I needed to use them but with a tropical theme!

      I created the scene by masking and coloring with Copic Markers and Distress Oxide Inks. I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and using Copper Embossing Powder heat embossed it. I finished off the card by using Glossy Accents on the lights, drink, flipflops and Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen on the water!

      Check out the process video HERE!

      20200120_174401

      I made an A2 size card or 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 inches, I cut a panel to 5 1/4 X 4 inches for the scene. I made some masks for the images, and I stamped and masked as I went, using Momento Tuxedo Black Ink for stamping the images I was going to color.

      I drew in lines for the cabana, horizon, and beach with a pencil before I started ink blending and then colored the images.  After I finish coloring and blending I stamped and embossed the sentiment. I added the glossy accents, the Sparkle Pen for the reflection of the sunset on the water. After it dried I adhered the panel to the card base and used a black Zig Marker to outline the wires on the string lights.
