- A Sweet Christmas Slimline Card
  
  Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
  
  Nov 30th
  
  Hello Everyone! Today I am sharing a slimline card I made using the A Sweet Christmas Paper pad and ephemera. I also used the Slimine Marquee die by Whimsey Stamps. I trimmed the frame from Marquee die in green card stock.
  
  I then added pieces of pattern paper into the window portions of the die and ran those through my die cutting machine. I then added those pieces to the window openings with liquid glue.
  I then popped some pieces of ephemera onto the card with foam adhesive and other pieces directly to the card with liquid glue. I then used Star Dust Stickles to add some sparkle to the card!
  
  Thank You so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a great week!

  Hello Everyone and Happy Monday! I’m sharing a Thank You card today using the SFL November Flavor of the Month Collection 2! The paper in the Thanks So Much paper pad are beautiful; I love the color palate.
  
  I stamped one of the sentiments from the Thanks So Much stamp set onto a piece of pattern paper. I trimmed that down creating a fish tail on the right side. I decided to add 3 more pieces of pattern paper trimmed the same way under the sentiment.
  
  I layered the White Organza ribbon from the collection onto the card and added the blue ribbon from the banana split pack over the top.
  I finished the card using 3 enamel dots from the collection in the lower right hand.
  
  Thank You for stopping by!

- Sneak Peek! November Flavor of the Month Card Kit!

  Happy Monday Everyone! Today I’m sharing a sneak peek from Collection 3 from the November 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit!
  
  I think this sentiment is sweet and funny and I it describes my family perfectly! I loved the bright pink found in this collection so I used the pink card stock found in the kit for my card base and mat on the middle piece of pattern paper. The stripped pattern paper was a nice break from all the pink. For my sentiment piece, I used a mini scallop circle die to cut the mat my sentiment is on from the main pattern paper. I stamped the sentiment with a matching pink ink. I finished my card with enamel dots and paper flowers, both found in this collection.
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by, and stay tuned all week for more sneak peeks!!

  Nov 9th
  
  Happy Monday! It didn’t feel like fall this past weekend with temperatures here in Vermont reaching 70 degrees – just a few days before we had SNOW! However, Autumn is in full swing and November is the month to remember our Blessings!
  
  Today’s card features the “Sweater Weather” stamp set from Paper Sweeties and the “Autumn Blessings” die from SFL. I die cut gold glitter paper using the Autumn Blessings die and adhered it to orange card stock that was from the same paper I cut the card base from. I added a large and medium enamel dot to both sides of the sentiment. I then stamped the coffee cup image from the Sweater Weather stamp set and die cut it using a mod rectangle die. I colored that in with Copic markers and added the 3 small images from the stamp set all around. I finished that pieces with Spiced Marmalade distress ink around the edges.
  
  If you’re interested in the Sweater Weather Stamp Set or the Autumn Blessings die, jump over to the SFL Store !
  
  Have a great week!

- Sneak Peek! October 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit
  
  Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
  
  Oct 26th
  
  Happy Monday everyone! Today I’m sharing with you ingredients from Collection 1 in the October 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit! I’ve stamped out one of the images from the stamp set and colored with Copic Markers. I die cut that with a circle die and cut a mat from red card stock with a mini scallop circle die.
  This piece of pattern paper from Collection 1, I needed to cut in half in order to to get the birdhouses fully on the card. I used some ribbon from the collection to hide where the 2 pieces meet. I stamped the “Happy Holidays” sentiment from the stamp set with Versamark ink, sprinkled with white embossing powder and heat set it. I trimmed that with my paper trimmer and scissors. The sentiment was then added to the card with foam adhesive.
  I finished the card by adding some Spectrum Noir Glitter brush to the cardinal and scattered on a few enamel dots from the collection.
  
  Stay tuned all week for more Sneak Peeks and the full reveal is 12:00am on Saturday, October 31, 2020.

- Go Wild Memory Dex Card

  Oct 19th
  
  Hello Everyone and Happy Monday! Today I am sharing a Memory Dex card I made using several SFL products!
  First I die cut 100lb white card stock for my “base” using the “Create a dex” Barn die. I wanted a gold glitter edge that matches some of the “gold glitter” in the Bird Talk pattern paper that I chose to use for this project so I used Versamark Ink and a gold glitter embossing powder. I heat set that and put aside to cool. I then die cut “GO Wild” from a piece of pattern paper from the same pad and black card stock. I used Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to adhere the pattern paper words offset onto the black card stock words.
  
  I put the Memory Dex card together and wanted an image to fill the space on the right. I chose one of the bird images from the “Bird Talk” stamp set; I stamped it with Copic Friendly Ink and colored with Copic markers. I fussy cut the image and added to the Memory Dex with foam adhesive.
  All that was left is adding a little Spectrum Noir Glitter Brush to the bird and 3 dots using Nuvo Crystal Drops in the color Dandelion.
  
  Thank You so much for stopping by today!

- Card Set – featuring Golden Beach Paper Pad

  Oct 12th
  
  Happy Monday! As Fall proceeds at rapid speed, I’m reminded it’s time to think about Holiday Gifts. One of the things I like to do is make blank card sets for friends/family/co-workers. These sets are always welcomed and a great way to participate in inexpensive gift exchanges, Secret Santa or White Elephant type events.
  
  Today I grabbed the SFL Golden Beach pattern paper pad, the SFL Octopus die, the SFL Ocean Sentiments stamp set and the SFL Mod Die set to create this card set!
  
  Do you make card sets for gifts? I used to worry about the number of cards in a set, but I soon realized those I gift them to, do not care and it’s less stressful for me!
  Thank You So Much for stopping by! Have a great week!

  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.
