      Hello, it’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a bunch of cards and tags from the new February Flavor of the Month Card Kit.

      I used up all the papers in Collection Two “Birthday Queen” to make 8 cards and 9 tags. I used the scraps to make the tags. I had nothing left except for a bit of the gold rhinestone mesh, half the glitter enamel dots and the stamp set.

      I brought in some gold mirror card stock, gold metallic cording and various paper punches. The stamp set is from Pretty Pink Posh.

      There are just a handful of kits left if you’d like to pick one up.

      Double Dip

      Thanks for visiting,

    • Birthday Card featuring Party Palooza by Heffy Doodle

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

      Hello Everyone! Let’s not forget those December Birthday’s among all our Holiday cardmaking! Today, I’ve grabbed the Party Palooza stamp set by Heffy Doodle and the 6×6 pattern paper pad “Ice Cream Celebration” by Scrapping for Less for this colorful birthday card.

      I first stamped out all of my images and colored parts of the images with Copic makers. I then stamped out all the parts I wanted to have a pattern, onto various pieces of pattern paper.

      While there is solid colored wrapping paper and gift bags, most gifts are wrapped with a patterned wrapping paper. In order to give my gifts that look, I decided to paper piece with pattern paper from the Ice Cream Celebration collection. I fussy cut all the pieces then used liquid glue to adhere the pieces the the stamped image on white card stock.

      *Quick Tip: The Ice Cream Celebration paper has a glossy finish. When stamping on this paper – stamp directly down – wait about 5-10 seconds then lift directly up. I also recommend putting it aside for a few minutes and allow the ink to completely dry.

      When all my pieces were ready, I assembled my card and added my finishes. I used Wink of Stella clear glitter brush on the balloons and the frosting on the cupcake. I used a white gel pen to add highlights on the balloons and grabbed Belgium Bluestone Nuvo Stone drops to add to the blank space right above the cupcake.

      I hope you enjoy and get inspired!

    • Avery Elle Spring Bouquet and No Line Copic Coloring | Scrapping for Less

      Hi everybody.  Courtney here with another coloring project.  Today I used the Spring Bouquet stamp set by Avery Elle to do a bit more no-line Copic coloring.

      I stamped the image with a light ink and worked one petal at a time being sure to create dimension with those “scary dark colors”.

      I added my stamen back in with a Signo Unibal white gel pen and stamped my sentiment. 

      I created a mat for my main panel by coloring just the edges with a matching Copic marker.  This gives the illusion that you have a matching cardstock.

      Last, I added a few Nuvo drops and called this one done.

      Thanks for stopping by and have a creative and crafty day!

      -Courtney

    • Let’s Make Some Birthday Cards ~ March 2018 FOTM

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Oct 5th

      Hello! Crystal here with a handful of cards I created using an older Flavor of the Month card kit.

      I found myself in need of some birthday cards and I remembered this sweet March 2018 Flavor of the Month card kit in my stash called It’s All About Ice Cream. The perfect kit to replenish my birthday card stash!!

      For all of the cards I created, I went with a pretty simple design… I started with a 5-1/4 x 4″ piece of patterned paper from the collection. Some of those I mat on a piece of 5-3/8 x 4-1/8″ piece of coordinating card stock… some I just left as is and adhered to a white card base.

      This first card I watercolored and die cut with a wonky rectangle die. I stamped the sentiment from the Flavor of the Month Year 1 sentiment stamp set and then popped it up on the card with foam tape. I added a few sequins and that was it for card one.

      For my second card, I added a strip of the pretty ribbon that I adhered to the back of the patterned paper. I then stamped the cute Flavor of the Month Logo stamp masking the center so I could stamp Happy Birthday from the FOTM Year 1 sentiment stamp instead. I just used a ruler and a Memento tuxedo black marker to add the masked lines back in and then stamped the sentiment. I colored the image using the following Copic markers ~ R14, R20, R29, B02, B21, BG000, BB01, BG45, E0000, E00, E23, E25, Y15. I fussy cut the focal image and then popped it up on the card. I added a few red sequins and this one was done.

      For my third card I had to get creative because I didn’t have a full 5-1/4 x 4″ piece of patterned paper left over so I combined two papers and mat them on a green piece of card stock. This card was pretty simple… I utilized the fantastic cut-a-parts included in the patterned papers. I mat this particular one on red card stock and then popped it up on the card. I added a few of the Silver Glossy Dots and then decided I wanted to also use the cute Lawn Fawn Treat Yourself stamp set.

      I thought it would be fun to add a gift card for an ice cream shop (only had this gift card to show… sorry!) inside so I paper pieced the ice cream tub using the papers from this collection and adhered it on a strip of the same patterned paper that I had stamped the sentiment. I colored the little bit of ice cream using R20, E27, E51. I left the bottom portion of the card empty so I can write my birthday wishes to the recipient.

      Now getting creative again, I cut the music note patterned paper in half and adhered it along with the green/white polka dot paper to the mat of orange card stock. I mat another cut-a-part paper onto red card stock and popped it up on the card with foam tape. I used my last five Silver Glossy Dots to finish off this card.

      My last card came together pretty simply with the layers of patterned paper and the addition of the tag. I stamped the Ice Cream Marci directly on the tag along with the sentiment and then set the tag aside. I stamped Ice Cream Marci again on a scrap piece of white card stock and then paper pieced her shirt with the pink/white polka dot paper. I colored her in with the following Copic markers E0000, E00, E17, E23, E27, E47, E49, B91, B95, RV10, RV14, RV21. I then fussy cut her out and adhered her to the tag. I added some pink and white ribbon that I tied off with some twine… all from my stash. I then popped up the tag on the card and called this last card done!

      There are some March 2018 Flavor of the Month card kits still in the shop. There’s also some mini collections available in the shop. You can check out all of those kits… here.

      Thanks so much for stopping by!

      See ya next time.
