  Hello Crafty Friends – It’s Alicia from @callmecraftyal – thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  I am here today to share a sneak peek at the September 2020 Flavor of the Month Card kit!! I have FALLen in love with this kit already!
  
  A little peek at the supplies I used for today’s card.
  
  As soon as I saw the adorable gnome in the stamp set shown above, I just knew I had to paper piece it for a card. I stamped the image on various patterned papers from the collection and then cut out each piece and assembled him. I think this look went really well with his patched-up hat.
  
  This gnome stamp was perfect for paper-piecing.
  
  For the background of the card I used a lot of white space because I really wanted Mr. Gnome to stand out. Before using an apple embossing folder on the white mat, I stamped the ‘Happy Fall’ sentiment from the same set.
  
  To finish the card, I adhered the gnome to the card front with some foam tape and added 3 enamel dots from the kit.

  Make sure to stop by each day this week for more sneak peeks from the team.
  
  I hope you’re having a crafty day!

  Hello Crafty Friends – It’s Alicia from @callmecraftyal – thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  I am here today to share a fun, quick and easy card I created using the SFL “Mod Die” die set and leftovers from July’s Flavor of the Month kit. I just loved the tropical theme of the kit and knew the papers and ephemera would make a bright and fun card.
  
  A look at the Scrapping for Less items I used on my card.
  
  I started by filling the card front with the bold leaf print paper from the kit and then used one of the larger dies from the set to have a landing place for my die cut sentiment. I just love the extra texture the stitching gives to the rectangle and the ombre paper made such a fun sentiment.
  
  A look at the finished card.
  
  To finish the card off I placed a flamingo and leaf die cut from the Tropical Vibes ephemera pack and added 3 pink enamel dots from the “Romantic Clear” set.

  Hello, crafty friends! My name is Alicia, although you may know me as Crafty Al.
  
  I am so excited to be on the Scrapping for Less blog today to share some exciting news and a fun card showing how you can stretch your Flavor of the Month kit stamps.
  
  First for the news… I am super excited to be the newest member of the Scrapping For Less Creative Team!!
  
  I was asked in July to be a guest artist for the Flavor of the Month kit and I shared 4 cards created with the kit on my YouTube Channel – Call Me Crafty Al. I had such a great time creating with, and sharing creations using, the Tropical Themed kit.
  
  A look at the cards I created with the July FOTM kit.
  
  When Teresa asked me to be a permanent part of the team, I said “Yes!”.
  
  Starting today you will see me most Saturdays here on the Scrapping for Less Blog and on the Scrapping for Less YouTube channel sharing new creations!
  
  I hope if you’re not already, that you head on over to the Scrapping for Less YouTube channel and subscribe.
  
  Spotlight Card using the Tropical Fruits stamp set from Scrapping for Less.
  
  Today I have a video up on the channel where I share a little about myself, while I create the card shown above. This is a great way to use a fun technique – Spotlight Stamping – and use your kit stamps long after the papers and embellishments are gone.
  
  I hope you will check out today’s video by clicking on the image below…
