Greetings friends and fellow crafters. It’s LeeAnn and I am here today with my first post for Scrapping For Less in for June 2019. I had so much fun while making this card, using Avery Elle’s “Sea-Prise” stamp set and I hope you enjoy it.
To start off I used Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxides to make my cover layer. I used an MFT Stencil (Make Waves) to create the scene. Once dry, I spritzed on some water to help with the look.
I then stamped the schools of fish using the Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide. I stamped the Shark and Pufferfish using GinaK Amalgam Black Ink, and stamped the sentiment with the same. I cut out my images with the Scan N Cut and colored with Artist Loft Alcohol Markers.
My layers were put together using GinaK Connect Glue. I love the ease of use for this little bottle.
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!

Hi there friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here today with a fun project I made using the Lawn Fawn “Hippo Birdie” stamp set and the Lawn Fawn “Ocean Wave Accents” Die. Both of these products are available in the Scrapping For Less Shop.
To make this project I took the Ocean Waves die and used it on my image 3 times in a diagonal from bottom left to top right. I then used my Tim Holtz Travel Platform and stamped the Hippo stamp 3 times with Nuvo Metro Grey ink on Grey Cardstock. I then stamped the Birdie 2 times in Memento Dandelion Yellow on yellow cardstock. I used the matching dies to cut the Hippos and Birdie’s out. I affixed the hippo’s in the cuts using double stick tape on the back. I then layered that panel on a piece of SnoCone Cardstock, cut to size, rounded the corners then did the same with a panel of Night Shift Blue cardstock, again trimmed to size and rounded the corners. My final panel was white that I had a little fun with Broken China Distress Oxide and a blending sponge. The “Hippo Birdie To You” is stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink.
So late July my husband and I took a day and visited Busch Gardens in Tampa, FL. It is less than an hour from home and we haven’t been since January 2010, it was time. One of my favorite parts of the day was watching this Hippo, he was swimming around his pool having a blast with a tree branch pulling it from one end of the pool to the other and back again. This is the inspiration for my project.
Hope you liked my project today.

Hi Everyone, it’s Stacy here from Craftaholicmomma up on the Scrapping for Less blog. Today I have lots to share with you. In fact I have 30 cards to share with you. I was able to get back into my groove of obliterating the card kits to see how many cards I could get from it. I was “Up North” (northern Minnesota) on vacation when I had a chance to play with this kit. I was only able to bring a small amount of supplies so I was not able to use any of the dies or embossing folder as I didn’t want to lug my heavy big shot with me. I did bring my Brother Scan N Cut as I thought I would have more versatility with that.
So while my husband, my father in law and my nephew were out on the lake fishing every night, I sat at the table and crafted, making cards. I hope you like them and find inspiration.

Hello! Crystal here with a sneak peek of the July 2018 Flavor of the Month card kit ~ Birthday Wishes. I hope that you’ve been following along as the Design Team has been sharing their sneak peeks this week and you’ve probably noticed the theme. I do love making and sending birthday cards so this kit has been so much fun to play with!!
I used a couple of the patterned papers to split up my card design and then added my focal image using a circle die that I trimmed on the corner and popped up on the card. I colored the radio with the following copic markers ~ E0000, E000, E47, E55, E57. I wrapped the ribbon around the card front to cover where the patterned papers meet. I stamped the sentiment and then fussy cut it following the bend of the words and popped it up on the card. I added a few music stickers around the radio. I adhered the card front onto a white card base and called this cute little sneak peek done.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
See ya next time.
~ Crystal

To start my project I stamped all my images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Chameleon Markers. I then used Simple Stories paper from the March Flavor of the Month kit as my background panel, as it has the words/sheet music for the Happy Birthday song. The Banana Split level of the March kit came with Glitter Paper so I was able to make use of that again and cut the frames using the Mini Frames Die Set. I had some silver Mirror paper in my stash which I used for the center of the frames. The frames are attached with foam tape for some added dimension.
At the time of this post all products are available at the links provided.
Hope you liked my project today.

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, a bit of fun today with some of the stamps that came in the June SFL Card Kit. While the kit is SOLD OUT, the stamps are available.
I had a lot of fun making this one, as I always do. First i used Kaleidacolor ink pad Blue Breeze and a brayer to lay down the first layer of ink…
I let this dry (just a couple minutes) and laid down my Heffy Doodle stencil called “Bubble Waves” and used Pink Iridescent Creative Medium and a palette knife to smooth through the stencil.
This once dry left an opal tone to my panel which is what I was looking for. The Puffer Fish and sentiment came from the Avery Elle “Sea-prise” stamp set. The little crabs came from the LDRS stamp set “At The Beach“. The sequins came out from Collection 1 of the June Kit.
Hope you liked my project today.
