    • Happy Pumpkin Spice Season | Card Trio | Call Me Crafty Al

      Posted at 8:00 am by callmecraftyal
      Sep 30th

      Hello Crafty Friends – It’s Alicia from @callmecraftyal – thanks so much for stopping by! I am here today to share a trio of cards using some Fall goodies from Scrapping for Less

      I put out a request for help on my YouTube channel over the weekend. I shared with viewers my new Scrapping for Less goodies and asked them which paper pad and stamp set they would like to see me use for my video today.

      The supplies for my ‘viewer choice’ card.

      It was a close race, but the winners were the Cozy Fall Paper Pad and Teresa Talks Fall stamp set. I have to say I was very pleased with the winner. I just love that main focal image in the stamp set and the texture on those Fall papers is gorgeous! Because the SFL papers are 6×6 I decided to use the August 2020 SheetLoad of Cards sketch for my layout.

      I used colored pencils and gamsol for my focal image.

      Once I had all of my papers cut per the instructions I stamped and colored up 3 of the girl images from the stamp set. For coloring today I used colored pencils and my homemade gamsol blender pen. I just like the way the Gamsol removes the colored pencil lines.

      A trio of Fall cards.

      Once the images were colored and fussy-cut I adhered them to the sentiment block with art glitter glue and popped them up on the card front with foam tape.

      If you would like to see how I made these cards, you can check out my YouTube video by clicking on the image below.

      Thanks so much for stopping by!

    • Apple Orchard Pickin’ – Sept FOTM Collection 2

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Sep 28th

      Happy Monday! Today I am sharing this and 2 other cards I created using Collection 2 from the SFL Flavor of the Month September Card Kit! I stamped the gnome image from the “Apple Gnome'” Stamp set with Copic friendly ink and colored with Copic markers.
      My sentiment and pattern paper is from the “Apple Orchard Pickin’ ” Paper Pad. I love being able to use these types of “cut aparts” in paper pads. I used foam adhesive to pop up my gnome and finished with Glossy Accents on the apple and Spectrum Noir Glitter Brush along the band on his hat.

      The other 2 cards:

      Thanks for stopping by – Have a great week!

    • September 2020 FOTM Inspiration – Sweet Sunflower

      Posted at 7:00 am by bourboncreekcrafts
      Sep 27th

      Hello! It’s Beth from Bourbon Creek Crafts here today! I was having fun with the September 2020 Flavor of the Month card kit, so I decided to make another card featuring the sunflowers! You can watch my full process in this video.

      I decided to use another sketch from the sketch download sheet. However, I adjusted the card base to a standard A2 size card base at 5 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches. And, since I was using the image of the sunflower that I had left over from my blog hop cards, I went with a circle element in the center instead of an oval.

      I used the yellow honeycomb pattern as my triangles in the corner and ended up cutting a 2 inch square and then cut it in half to get my triangles.

      I used a 3 1/4 inch stitched circle die to cut out my sunflower image and a 3 1/2 inch stitched circle die to cut out the yellow mat to go behind it.

      I finished the card off with a little knot using the leftover white sheer ribbon from this collection.

      Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you got some more inspiration for using your September kit! If you are interested in purchasing this kit, you can find out more about it HERE. Be sure to act fast, though, because the kits have been selling out pretty quickly!

      Have a crafty day!

    • Hey There Pumpkin ~ September 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Sneak Peek

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Sep 25th

      Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with the last sneak peek of the September 2020 FOTM Card Kit before the reveal and hop that starts at midnight tonight!! This Fall loving girl is in love with this kit!! It’s so stinkin’ cute and just perfect for all your Fall cardmaking needs!! Enough chit chat… let’s get to the card I created!

      So… if you have followed my creative card making journey at all, you may know about my obsession with teal trucks. lol… I love them so! It’s really no surprise that I just had to frame this adorable paper and make it a feature of my card! I love it!
      I layered the two beautiful papers from Collection Four and adhered a stitched scallop frame that I die cut from white card stock. I stamped the Hey There Pumpkin stamp with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored it in with my Copic markers. I used the following Copic markers:
      ‘Hey There’ ~ E23
      ‘Pumpkin’ ~ BG01, BG10, BG45, BG57
      Pumpkin ~ YR15, YR21, YR27, YR68, E21, E23, E27
      I then fussy cut around the image and sentiment and then adhered it to a white stitched oval. I then popped that up on the card and finished it off with a few enamel dots. You can check out my process video below…

      I am just loving how this card turned out. It has me dreaming about cooler days with leaves changing colors and falling leaves. *sigh*  Do you love Fall too? Let me know in the comments what’s your favorite part of the Fall season.
      Don’t forget about the reveal and hop tonight at midnight, but be sure to snatch up your card kit before then!! You do not want to miss out on this one!!

      Inky Hugs,
      Crystal

    • Sneak Peek Week: Thursday!

      Hello, hello!

      Kim here from @cardmakingblonde here today wishing you Fall Blessings!

      Here in Florida we have seen temps dipping into the 80’s so Fall has officially arrived! We joke about it but if you are either from here or if you’ve lived here long enough there really is a change in the feel and smell of the air that tells you Fall is here. I still wish we had the changing leaves but alas, you can’t have it all right?

      I’m thrilled to be sharing a sneak peek from SFL’s Flavor of the Month September 2020 card kit: Orchards and Patches. Using the stencil from the Banana Split ingredients and elements out of collection two: Apple Orchard Pickin’ I created the card below.

      Here’s the run down on how this card came together:

      -stenciled the apples with distress oxide inks using a sponge dauber for the apple and cotton swabs for the leaf and twig

      -held stencil and paper together with Wendy Vecchi MAKE ART Stay-tion-All-In-One Magnetic Surface (I LOVE this tool and find myself using stencils more frequently now that I have it.)

      -used Bristol Smooth paper which the Distress Oxide inks go on like a dream

      -created a background with the apples then used an aqua shimmer pen by Nuvo to add some glimmer

      -the sentiment in the center is from the paper in the Apple Orchard Pickin’ collection, there is a sheet of cut aparts

      -popped that sentiment up with foam adhesive

      -used the twine also included in the collection to wrap around the card and add a bow before gluing the panel down to the card base

      There will be one more sneak peek tomorrow and then the BLOG HOP! I look forward to seeing what the rest of the design team came up with. You have two ways to get your Flavor of the Month card kit.

      1. Sign up for a subscription now so you don’t have to worry about a sell out
      2. Wait for the kit to reveal at midnight EST on September 26th and grab a one time purchase (this one is a little risky but no judgement if you enjoy living on the edge a little ha, ha!)

      Thank you so much for joining me here on the blog today for this sneak peek! I look forward to seeing you at the hop and hope you are enjoying a nice Fall so far!

      Just keep creating,

      Kim 🙂

    • Sneak Peek – SFL September 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Sep 21st

      Happy Monday Everyone! How Cute is this scarecrow?! I’m LOVING this kit so much – it’s fall themed and I am crazy for fall! The pattern paper, along with the fence image, scarecrow image and sentiment are all peeks from Collection 3. The leaf image is part of the banana split pack (a peek for those who like the extra bag of goodies!)

      For this card I’ve trimmed 2 pieces of pattern paper for my panel and did some paper piecing for the scarecrow’s overalls. I colored the fence and the remainder of the scarecrow with Copic Markers. On the overalls, I added some Nuvo Glitter Accents in the color Winter Cranberry and some Glossy Accents to scarecrow’s eyes.
      I cut out 3 leaves using the leaf die from the banana split pack and popped up the sentiment on foam adhesive right over those stems. I finished this card by adding Spectrum Noir Glitter Brush to the leaves.

      Stop by each day for more Sneak Peeks and the reveal will be at 12:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 26 (so stay up late Friday and be one of the first to see the full reveal).

      There is a process video over on the SFL YouTube Channel – CLICK HERE
