  SFL Sketch Challenge #5 Extended ~ May 2020 FOTM Card Kit

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Jun 1st
  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie

  sharing a card for the May challenge for the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group which is extended through June!! The May challenge is a fun sketch challenge and since we’ve included the sketch in the May 2020 Sketch Sheet that’s available to download on the Scrapping for Less website, we thought it would be a fun idea to extend the challenge and let everyone have some more time to play along and maybe even use their May 2020 Let’s Encourage Once Another Card Kits in the challenge!!

   

  So, the key to playing along with the challenge is being a member of the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group if you aren’t already a member —> join here!! Also, please note that you don’t need a blog to enter the challenge as you’re adding a photo of your creation directly in the Challenge album in the group. But you are welcome to include a link to your blog in the description of your creation, if you’d like.

   

  Here’s what Sketch Challenge #5 looks like…

   

  

   

   

  I have a couple of cards using this sketch to share with you…

  

  My first one is from the reveal and hop for the May 2020 Let’s Encourage One Another card kit… this was a very fast card to create. I literally didn’t stamp one thing for this card. I just trimmed the patterned papers and adhered them to a white card base. I die cut the oval from white card stock and adhered it to the card. And the sweet Little Lady Ephemera pieces and enamel dots finished off the card! Easy Peasy!

  

  My second card is also using products from the Little Lady Collection of the May 2020 card kit. I trimmed my patterned papers and adhered them to a white card base. I die cut a wonky stitched oval die from white card stock. I used the cloud stencil from the Banana Split subscription and blended a little scene for the ladybug and her daisies with Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks. I used Shabby Shutters and Mowed Lawn Distress Markers for the shading under the ladybug and the stems of the daisies. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white card stock and mat it with the Lemon Drop card stock. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the oval scene and then popped up the oval and sentiment strip with foam squares.

  

  I used the following Copic markers to color the stamped images in this card:

  Ladybug ~ R000, R14, R46, N0, N2, N4, N5

  Daisies ~ Y11, Y13, Y35

  

  I thought about adding a couple enamel dots but the pretty daisies in the bottom right corner work right along with the sketch design so I left it as is. I sure hope that you’ll play along with our fun sketch challenge.

  This challenge will continue until June 30th at 11:59pm EST. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, July 1st in the challenge album. Please use #sflsketchchallenge5 in any social media posts when playing along with the challenge.

   

  And I’d like to invite you, again, to come play along with this challenge over in the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook Group! We’d love to see what you create using this fun sketch!

   

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

   

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  Glitter Lace Butterflies and More!!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  May 22nd
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple of cards using products from the A La Carte section of the Scrapping for Less shop! Anyone else obsessed with butterflies?! I love them! Today I’m sharing the Lace Butterfly die by Gina Marie Designs that is available in the shop here —> Lace Butterfly die.

  

  I die cut the beautiful butterfly several times from the DCWV Single-Sided Glitter card stock in all the colors of the rainbow!! I decided for this card to use the turquoise glitter butterfly… it looks so lovely over the Insulation Pink card stock.

  

  I applied some beautiful Glitter Glaze from Brutus Monroe over the Coffee Dot stencil by Echo Park. I think the Nuvo Frostbite Glacier Paste would give a similar look and it’s in the shop here —> Nuvo Frostbite Glacier Paste. So much glittery goodness!! I wish the pictures did it justice!

  

  I trimmed the Insulation Pink card stock to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ and adhered a Scalloped Stitched Rectangle frame by Gina Marie Designs that I die cut from white card stock. If you don’t have a scalloped stitched rectangle frame in your stash, there’s one in the shop here that is just slightly smaller than the one I used —> Sunny Studio Frilly Frames Hexagon Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die… and it has that cool hexagon too! I stamped the ‘Live Your Best Life!’ sentiment from the Your Best Life Collection in the April 2020 City Streets and Country Roads card kit with Memento Tuxedo black ink and die cut it with a banner die. I trimmed it down and popped it up on the card.

  

  To finish off the card, I added three cute flower sequins to the body of the glitter butterfly… it is so enchanting in person!!! Truly beautiful combined with the glitter butterfly!

  

  Now, remember I die cut a whole bunch of these glitter butterflies… let me tell you there was glitter everywhere!!! But a handy tip for cleaning that up is using Swiffer Sweeper dry cloths. I was able to clean up everything with just one cloth… they are super sturdy and hold a lot of glitter!

  

  For my second card, I wanted to make a slimline card that looked like the butterflies were flying in the clouds. I made a little video showing the ink blending and assembly of the card. You can check that out here…

  I hope that you’ve enjoyed the cards I shared today! Be sure to check out all the fabulous items available in the A La Carte section of the shop! You can restock those consumables you’ve used up in the kit or find some other must have goodies to help enhance your card kit creations!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  April 2020 City Streets and Country Roads Card Kit ~ Layered Stencils for CAS Cards

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  May 15th
  Hey there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple sweet CAS cards using the fabulous City Streets and Country Roads card kit and stencils!! I layered a shape stencil with the city skyline portion of the stencil included in the Banana Split subscription to create these fun cards.

  

  My first card was created using the Scalloped Circle Masquerade stencil from Heffy Doodle. I started by blending Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink over the top portion of the scalloped circle. I then blended some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink on the bottom portion. Then I placed the city skyline stencil over top of the scalloped circle stencil and secured it with some purple tape. I also covered the words underneath the skyline on the stencil with some purple tape. I then blended some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink lightly over the stencil for my base color and using a post it note I added some dimension to the buildings blending from the bottom right edge and up.

  

  I stamped the sentiment from the Your Best Life stamp set from Collection Two of the card kit with Memento Tuxedo black ink. And then I stamped the girl from the same stamp set onto a scrap of white card stock. If you remember my card from the reveal a couple of weeks ago, I’ve used a very similar color combo on this girl. And I’ll have a video of my coloring to share with you tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s a list of the Copic markers that I used to color this image:

  Skin ~ E000, E00, E11, R00, R20

  Eyes ~ B02, B16, C1

  Hair ~ E50, E51, E53, E55

  Clothes ~ R05, R08, R22, C00, C1, C3, B0000, B02, B16

  Scooter ~ R000, R01, R14, R21, R30, N0, N2, N4, N6, C00, C1, C3, Y11, Y13

  

  And I did the same layered stencils technique to make my second card. This time I used the super girl stamp from the Super Host stamp set in Collection One along with a star stencil that I created myself by die cutting a piece of card stock with a star die.

  

  I used the following Copic markers to color up this sweet super girl:

  Skin ~ E000, E00, E11

  Hair ~ E50, E51, E53, E55

  Clothes ~ Y11, Y13, Y15, R000, R14, R24, R27, B0000, B00, B02, B05

  Here’s a video showing the Layered Stencils technique I used for these adorable CAS cards!

  I sure hope you’ve enjoyed the cards I’ve shared today! The April 2020 card kit is sold out but you can subscribe now so you don’t miss out on the May 2020 card kit… and let me just tell you, you DO NOT want to miss this next kit!!! It’s SO adorable… just saying!!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky hugs,

  Crystal

  City Streets and Country Roads Card Kit ~ Flowery Camera Die

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  May 8th
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie sharing another sweet card using the fabulous Flowery Camera die by Scrapping for Less from the City Streets and Country Roads card kit!! I just adore this die… I colored the die cuts for my sneak peek card before the reveal of the kit. That was so much fun!! You can check that card out here —> my Sneak Peek card!

  

  This time I wanted to piece the die back together using different papers… just like a puzzle! I don’t know about you, but I love puzzles and piecing these die pieces back together was so much fun! And I have all kinds of pieces leftover to make more cards with!! I started by die cutting Chocolate card stock for my die base. I adhered that to a piece of copy paper and then fussy cut it out.

  

  Then I die cut the Flowery Camera from three different papers in the Country Roads paper pack and adhered all of those pieces to my Chocolate camera. Isn’t it just so pretty?! I love how it turned out! Now if you didn’t snatch up one of these fabulous card kits while you had the chance, be sure to check out the A La Carte section of the website… you can still purchase the gorgeous papers and some of the other products in the kit!!

  

  Did you see the little extra glittery goodness I added to my card? These gorgeous glittery papers by DCWV are available in the A La Carte section of the shop AND they make such a great addition to the card kit!! I really loved the Mojo Monday sketch that the design team used for our hop and reveal so I decided to use it again for this card. You can check out the sketches that the DT used here —> April 2020 Sketch Sheet. I trimmed all of my paper layers and adhered them to a Chocolate card stock card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I wrapped a piece of Natural Twine from the Country Roads Collection around those paper layers and tied off a knot. I then adhered the panel to a white card base from my stash. I popped up the stitched arch that I die cut from the text papers and then adhered the die cut Flowery Camera directly to it.

  

  I think it turned out lovely!! I decided not to add a sentiment at this point because I’m just not sure what occasion I’m going to use it for. Do you ever do that with your cards?

  I hope I’ve inspired you to pull out your City Streets and Country Roads card kit and get some inky time in… or maybe some paper piecing time since I didn’t actually get inky with this card! Lol!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  April 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ One Last Sneak Peek!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Apr 24th
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie and I am sharing the last sneak peek of the absolutely amazing City Streets and Country Roads Card Kit that releases tonight!!! Eeep! You are going to love this kit!! It is seriously gorgeous… and amazing!!

  

  I seriously LOVE each of the collections this month… Gorgeous!! But the Banana Split subscription this month has that extra bit of crafty goodness that just tops the cake!! How absolutely stunning is that camera with the dainty flowers and leaves…?!? I just HAD to use it for my sneak peek! I die cut it from the Neenah 110 lb. Classic Crest Smooth Solar White card stock included in the kit and colored it using copic markers that coordinated with the gorgeous papers included in the Country Roads collection:

  Flowers ~ R0000, R14, R56

  Leaves ~ Y11, Y13, Y15, E41, YG91, YG93

  Camera ~ N0, N2, N4, N6

  

  I colored most of the pieces while keeping the die cuts intact, but some of the camera pieces were so small I took them out and colored them. I then adhered the entire die cut piece to a piece of white copy paper and fussy cut it around the edges.

  

  I trimmed the beautiful patterned papers and adhered them together. I then wrapped a pretty yellow ribbon from another collection around the layers and adhered the panel to a white card base from my stash. I then die cut a piece of white card stock with the Stitched Arch STAX die… adding this piece helped the gorgeous camera to pop on the card. I stamped the empowering sentiment from Your Best Life stamp set in Collection Two with VersaFine Onyx Black Pigment Ink and die cut it with a banner die. I added a tiny piece of patterned paper to the edge of that sentiment and then popped it up on the card. To finish off the card, I added a few of the black sequins included in the Banana Split subscription. So… I used three of the collections and a couple of elements from the Banana Split to make this beautiful card!! I am telling you this kit is A MUST HAVE!!! Go subscribe here —> City Streets and Country Roads Card Kit!!

  Be sure to come back tonight at midnight EST to check out the reveal of the card kit and to hop with us as the design team shares all kinds of amazing inspiration!!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky hugs,

  Crystal

  A Farmhouse Spring Card Kit ~ Butterfly Stencil

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Apr 17th
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a few more cards using the wonderful A Farmhouse Spring card kit from Scrapping for Less! I really wanted to play with the beautiful Butterfly Stencil that’s included in the Banana Split subscription… have you seen the lovely cards being created by the Design Team with this stencil?! So inspiring!! Mine was slightly delayed in arriving but now I have it and I couldn’t wait to play!!

  

  What do you think?! Pretty cute cards if I do say so myself! I started by blending Picket Fence Distress ink over the stencil onto a card front of Spearmint, Cotton Candy, and Grapesicle card stock. I then die cut the card fronts with a few different rectangle dies in my stash… just to change things up so they weren’t all the same. I adhered those to white card bases from my stash.

  

  And then I blended some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink over a scrap of white card stock and die cut it with a circle die. I die cut three scalloped circles from the vellum paper… one for each card and then die cut three more scalloped circles from the Spearmint, Cotton Candy, and Grapesicle card stock.

  

  I set all of those pieces aside and blended some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink over the Butterfly Stencil. It wasn’t quite the right shade of purple but I tried to keep it light and I think it works pretty well.

  

  I then blended a few different green oxide inks and decided that Cracked Pistachio was the closest to coordinating with the Spearmint green. I die cut the purple butterflies and the green butterflies and then stamped the Hello Spring sentiment on each of the circles with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then adhered all of my circle layers.

  

  Now at this point, I had decided on my design for the card but it needed something. I decided to add a banner strip of black card stock from my stash to make the sentiment pop just a bit more on the cards.

  

  Here’s another look at the three cards together… I really love how they turned out! I hope you do too!

  

  I have one more bonus card to share. When I was finishing up the trio of cards above, I had an idea for this card. It’s a pretty simple design. Just some ink blending with the same three colors I used on the first three cards, but I did mask some of the stencil so that the butterflies looked like they’d be flying out of the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Hello Spring stamp set and I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I had an extra piece of Cotton Candy card stock in my stash so I mat the main panel with that. I then adhered the panel to a white card base. And to finish it off, I added a few of the sequins that were also included in the Banana Split subscription.

  I hope that I’ve inspired you to get inky with your card kit!! And if you don’t have this lovely card kit to play with, I believe that there are a few more left in the shop so go get one before they are all gone!! You will love it!!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  Bloom Wildly Collection ~ Live Simply

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Apr 10th
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one more look at the gorgeous Bloom Wildly Collection of the A Farmhouse Spring card kit! I am loving the Live Simply Bloom Wildly sentiment and how fast and easy it is to use in making a beautiful card!

  

  For my card today I started with a scalloped rectangle of the pretty floral papers on a white card base from my stash. I then stamped one of the butterflies from the set several times on the vellum paper included in the card kit. I stamped it with Brutus Monroe Clear Embossing ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder being careful not to keep my heat tool in one place for too long and warp the vellum paper. I adhered the vellum layer to the card with PLUS vellum glue tape and then die cut the zigzag die (included in the Banana Split subscription) a few times from white card stock.

  

  I adhered the zigzag die cuts across the card and set the card aside. I stamped the Live Simply image with Brutus Monroe Clear Embossing ink on Spearmint card stock and heat embossed an ultra fine white embossing powder. I then die cut the image with a scalloped circle die and popped it up with foam squares. I added a few sequins (included in the Banana Split subscription) to finish off the card… the perfect touch!

  

  I just love the soft touch that the vellum layer gives the card… and those pretty butterflies add so much to the dimension. I hope you like this card as well, and that you’re inspired to use the vellum included in the A Farmhouse Spring card kit. If you have been busy getting inky with your card kit and you’re finding your card stock supplies getting low be sure to check out the A La Carte items in the SFL shop!! You can replenish your supply of card stock, pretty papers, and ephemera pieces!! And if you have not purchased a card kit yet, you are in luck!! There are still some in stock… be sure to snatch yours up quick before they are all gone!!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky hugs,

  Crystal

  A Farmhouse Spring Card Kit ~ Hello Spring Collection

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Apr 3rd
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple more cards using the sweet Hello Spring collection from the A Farmhouse Spring card kit. The sweet bunny stamp in this collection is seriously becoming a favorite of mine! I could stamp it all day long!

  

  Isn’t it lovely in purple?! I did use my Stamp Platform and stamped it a couple of times with Winter Wisteria ink to get a nice crisp image. I kept the rest of the bunny white and decided to just die cut it with a circle die and kept that a nice clean white too. I love it!

  

  I trimmed a couple of the pretty patterned papers and adhered them to a Whipped Cream card front that was adhered to a white card base from my stash. I adhered another piece of Whipped Cream card stock that I had stamped the sentiment on, also with Winter Wisteria ink. To finish off this simple card, I added a few of the enamel dots from the collection.

  

  I have been loving the ephemera pieces included in the card kits lately and the pretty flowers in this one are just too lovely not to make the focus of this card. I trimmed down the border around the ephemera piece and then mat it with Grapesicle card stock. I then trimmed down some of the papers from the collection and mat them on Grapesicle card stock, as well. I adhered all of my layers to a white card base from my stash and then stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo black ink. I die cut it with a banner die and then trimmed it and adhered it to the flower ephemera piece. To finish off this card, I popped up the big flower ephemera piece and added a few of the enamel dots.

  

  I created these cards when I was playing around with my sneak peek ideas before the reveal of the card kit so I thought I would share all three cards together. If you’d like to check out my Sneak Peek card, you can do that here —> A Farmhouse Spring Card Kit Sneak Peek!

  I hope that I’ve inspired you with a few ways to get inky with the new card kit and I’ll be back next Friday with more inspiration using the wonderful Bloom Wildly collection.

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal
