    • Sneak Peek – SFL Flavor of the Month March Card Kit

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Mar 23rd

      Hello Everyone! Today I am sharing a card from Collection 3 – SFL Flavor of the Month Card Kit.

      Today I used sequins found in the Banana Split pack to make a shaker card. I stamped out the image from the stamp set onto acetate and centered that on this pretty, floral pattern paper. I used a stitched scalloped border die and trimmed down another piece of pattern paper to add just below the shaker circle and added the twine found in the collection around just above. To finish the front of the card, I added a button – also found in the collection.

      The inside is simply stamped with a “Thank You” sentiment and butterfly from the stamp set.

      Check back each day for another sneak peek and the full reveal on Saturday, March 28 at 12:00am. I’ll be staying up late on Friday to see all the inspiration from the Blog Hop!

      I hope you enjoy and get inspired.

    • 4 Cards – 1 Mini Collection – SFL Flavor of the Month Feb Card Kit

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Mar 16th

      Hello Everyone! Today I made 4 more cards using Collection 3 from the February Flavor of the Month Card Kit. I wanted to challenge myself to finish using the card kit so I started with Collection 3. I’ve already made 2 other cards using this collection; so I made a total of 6 cards with this one collection.

      I did not use the stamp set with day’s cards; but I used the remaining pattern paper, the remaining ephemera, and all the enamel dots! (which I have a habit of hoarding).

      Thanks So Much for stopping by! If you’d like to watch the process video, CLICK HERE!

    • Quick/Simple – No Stamping Cards featuring SFL FOTM February Card Kit

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Mar 9th

      Hello Everyone! Today I am making 2 very quick and simple cards using everything except the stamp set from Collection 4 and the mini distress ink and dauber from the Banana Split pack.

      There isn’t much to tell about how I made these cards because it basically pattern paper and embellishments.

      The first card I used pattern paper, scrap ribbon and the enamel dots from the card kit.

      The second card I used pattern paper, scrap ribbon and 2 wood icon pieces.

    • Be-you-tiful card featuring SFL February 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Mar 2nd

      Hello Everyone! Today I made this super sparkly card, using mostly, items from the SFL Flavor of the month February card kit – It’s All About the Girls!

      I made this background panel using the stencil from the Banana Split package found in the card kit and the mini distress ink (Shaded Lilac) that was in my kit. I adhered a piece of watercolor paper to my craft mat and taped the stencil over the top. I used the sponge dauber that comes in the banana split pack to sponge on the ink – which worked really nice because some parts of the stencil moved a little so I could just tap on that part so I didn’t get ink under the stencil.

      

      Once I finished with the distress ink, I kept the stencil on and added a layer of Nuvo Glimmer Paste. (This is not found in the card kit – it was from my supplies).

      I then stamped out the image and the “be-you-tiful” sentiment from found in Collection 1 of the card kit and cut it out with a circle die. I used the same distress ink to add a little color around the edges and added to my panel with foam adhesive. I then found some sheer, purple ribbon in my stash to add to the side of the card and tied a knot.

      

      Thank You So Much for stopping by!

    • Friendship Card featuring “Chickie Baby” by Sunny Studio

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Feb 17th

      Hello Everyone! I need a card to send out this coming Saturday so I thought the sentiment from the Chickie Baby Stamp set by Sunny Studio would be perfect. “From one Chick to another” and it’s that time of year where some of us start to get a little spring fever!

      I also wanted to bring in bright colors and spring paper so I am using pattern paper from the Spring Fling 6×6 paper pad also from Sunny Studio.

      I couldn’t choose which papers to use so I am using a few and reaching for a card sketch. This is from one of the December 2019 SFL Flavor of the Month Card Sketches that you can download. Click Here if you want to check those out; you can click on downloads and see the drop down menu for different years.

      I trimmed down my pattern paper following the sketch and stamped a scene onto watercolor paper. I chose Arteza Real Brush pens to color.

      I wanted my sentiment on the scene and not as shown on the sketch so I brought in some ribbon. I also have to stop hoarding my enamel dots and decided to grab these white ones in a small, medium and large. To finish my card I used some Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen on the 2 chicks and flowers.

      Thanks So Much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy and get inspired!

    • Easter Treat Boxes featuring Sunny Studio’s “Chickie Baby” stamp set.

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Feb 10th

      Hello Everyone! Happy Monday! I know it seems a bit early to be thinking about Easter (especially since I spent the weekend digging out from a snowstorm) but I couldn’t wait to share this fun project with you creating these Easter Treat Boxes!

      The “Spring Fling” pattern paper pad from Sunny Studio is one of my new favorites, I love all the pattern paper and it was perfect to start making some Easter Treat Boxes.

      And check out ALL the chicks that come in the Chickie Baby stamp set! I love how they are all different and they were fun to add to my boxes.

      Today’s project was simple. I used a die from Lawn Fawn Tiny Boxes die to cut the pattern paper into boxes. Once my boxes were die cut, I scored and added super sticky tape to put them together. I wanted to make sure they didn’t fall apart.

      The decorating was the fun part! I stamped out all the chicks and eggs from the stamp set with Copic friendly ink and colored them using Copic markers. I added the images to my boxes and finished with the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen! And no box was complete without a chocolate treat!

    • Adding a little Sun on Monday with Sunny Studio’s “That Sucks” Bundle!

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Feb 3rd

      Hello Everyone! I’m hoping to start our week off with a little Sun with Sunny Studio’s stamps and pattern paper. Today I am using the “That Sucks” stamp and die bundle and the Spring Fling 6×6 pattern paper.

      I’m also bringing in some distress ink and watercolor paper to do a little ink smooshing. I am using Dusty Concord, Worn Lipstick and bring in little Peacock Feathers for some hearts.

      First, I flipped through all the beautiful pattern papers to find the one I wanted to use. Once I chose a pattern, I used a stitched rectangle die to trim my panel.

      Next, I took out my non-stick mat and smooshed down some Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I added some water and pressed down my watercolor piece. I did this again then repeated the step with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I used a heat gun to dry the area and added hearts using the Distress Ink.

      I stamped out the vacuum image from the stamp set with Copic friendly ink and colored the image with Copic markers. I then used the coordinating die to die cut the image. All that is left is putting the pieces together and adding some finishing touches!

      The finishing touches include Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen, White Gel Pen, and some Morning Dew Nuvo Crystal Drops.

    • 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?

    • Colorful Fairy House Card featuring the SFL Fairy House Stamp Set

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Jan 20th

      Hello Everyone and Happy Monday! Today I made this colorful card using the the Fairy House Stamp Set by SFL.

      My main panel was create using distress ink (Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, Broken China, Shabby Shutters, Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door) and a cloud stencil.

      I then stamped the Fairy House with a Copic friendly ink and colored the image with Copic markers. I fussy cut the image and added it to my card with foam adhesive. I chose a sentiment from the stamp set and stamped that to the upper left from the house.

      To finish the card I added Diamond Stickles to the snow on the fairy house and then 3 White Blizzard Nuvo Glitter Drops to the right of the sentiment.

      Thanks So Much for stopping by today. If you’re interested in the First SFL Release CLICK HERE.
