    • November Flavor of the Month Kit – Banana Split Cards

      Hi, everyone! It’s Lynnea and I have a video using the November 2018 Flavor of the Month card kit. The kit is called Sophisticated and Elegant and I’m going to share two cards using the Banana Split level kit – it’s totally worth the upgrade! You’ll get an exclusive Scrapping for Less stamp set, a Sunny Studios die, some gems from Kaiser Craft, and a white gel pen in addition to the four collections you get in the Double Dip subscription! You can’t beat the value! Head over to the Scrapping for Less store to start your subscription!

       

       

      I used the Puttin’ on the Spritz stamp set from the Banana Split level and stamped the perfume bottle and sentiment in the center of my card. I wanted it to look like the bottle was spraying color, so I added a drop of watercolor near where the spray would originate and blew air through a straw to move the color out. I have to say….it didn’t work. Haha! But I never scrap a card! I used my paintbrush and helped the paint along!

       

       

      I made two cards – one with yellow and pink and one with mint and blue. I colored the bottles with some gold Gansai Tambi watercolors as well as the regular pan colors. You can use whatever watercolors you have on hand!

       

       

      I added some watercolor spatters and some pearls that came in the Banana Split level kit to finish off the cards! Watch the full process video below!

    • The Greeting Farm ~ You’re Awesome!

      Hello! Crystal here with a super fun card using The Greeting Farm’s Mini-Remix Boys. How cute is this stamp set?! I am loving it! I think it’s the perfect stamp set for me to use for my three boys!

      I was thinking I’d make a card to help encourage my second oldest to keep up the good work on his school work to finish up the year. I started by die cutting the sidewalk. I used a stitched border on either side to cut it out. I then masked it in sections and blended a bit of  Pumice Stone distress ink. I then cut a piece of green card stock from my leftovers from past card kits to fit the lower portion of the card. I adhered the sidewalk piece to the green card stock and trimmed the entire piece. I then die cut the houses from leftover black card stock and set them aside. I trimmed the houses and adhered them to the back of the green card stock. I cut a 4 x 5-1/4″ piece of white card stock and blended some clouds using a stencil and Tumbled Glass distress ink. I adhered the white cloud background to a black piece of card stock that measures 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″. I adhered the whole grass/sidewalk piece to the bottom of the white card stock. I then adhered the whole piece to a white card base.

      Now to stamp this cute little boy stamp… I stamped him, the skateboard and the soccer ball using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored it in using Copic markers {Skin – E50, E51, E53; Hair – E79, E77, E74; Shirts – N0, N1, R29, R89; Jeans – B97, B99; Shoes – R29, N0; Skateboard – Y06, YR68, R29; Soccer ball – N0}. I fussy cut all the pieces and then went around the edge with a Memento tuxedo black marker to cover the white edges. I set those aside and then die cut the ‘you’re’ portion of the Lawn Fawn sentiment die from the Banana Split subscription of the March 2018 Flavor of the Month card kit. I stamped the ‘awesome’ sentiment on black card stock using VersaMark ink and heat embossed some ultra fine white embossing powder. I trimmed the ‘you’re’ sentiment and adhered it to the card using Ranger Multi Medium Matte. I fussy cut the ‘awesome’ sentiment into a banner and adhered it to the card using mono multipurpose liquid glue. Once I had those where I wanted them, I adhered the little boy and his accessories. There you have it… how sweet is this card?! I think my son will get a kick out of it!

      Thanks for stopping by!

      See ya next time.

    • A Dream is a Wish

      Hello! Crystal here with a really quick and cute card using some leftover pieces from the February Castles & Dreams card kit.

      I used papers from Collection Two and the other elements are from the Banana Split subscription. I stamped the sentiment from the Castles and Dreams Sentiment stamp set using VersaMark ink and heat embossed some fine black embossing powder. I die cut the piece using a wonky rectangle die. I adhered the two pieces of rainbow paper left over from the kit and then I added the two stickers leftover from the Doodlebug Designs Rainbow Doodlepop. I adhered the whole panel to a white card base and there you have it. I love how easily it came together and I think it’s pretty cute!

      Thanks for stopping by!

      See ya next time.
