  July 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ In the Tropics Collection

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Aug 7th
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a sweet card using the July 2020 FOTM Card Kit… this time I have one card using the In the Tropics Collection. I absolutely love this palm tree silhouette!! It really makes for great scene cards!

  

  I used some Copic markers to create a light scene around the black palm tree silhouette. I went a little heavy on the oranges in the copic coloring because I knew I was using the yellow and orange papers from the collection and card kit. And I threw in a little purple-pink to work with the flower accent!

  

  I used the following Copic markers for this card ~ B0000, B000, RV10, RV21, Y11, Y15, Y35, YR15.

  I finished off the card with a few of the shell sequins. A simple design, but pretty!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  June 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Two More Cards

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Jul 31st
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one last look at the June 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit called A Walk in the Park. Today I have a couple cards to share to wrap up my inspiration for the June 2020 card kit.

  

  My first card using the adorable ephemera from the Picnic Time collection and the fun papers. This was such a quick card once I decided on which papers to use together.

  

  I mat the ant picnic paper on the Gumdrop Green card stock in the kit. And mat the yellow  on a Lemon Drop card front. The ephemera is popped up with some foam squares. And to finish it off, I added a few sequins from the Banana Split subscription sequins.

  

  My second card for today uses a few different papers from the cute On the Playground collection. I had some longer scraps of the On the Playground papers and thought they would be fun together. I adhered all of them to a lightweight white card stock that measures 4 x 5-1/4″. I actually stamped the slide twice… once on the ombre blue patterned paper and again on a scrap piece of white card stock. After I colored the slide, I fussy cut it and cleaned up the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. I didn’t fussy cut in between the steps on the slide… I actually just colored that space with a copic marker. I popped up the focal piece with foam squares and tied the green twine around the panel. I then adhered the panel to the white card base with Tombow Mono Multipurpose liquid glue. I added a few sequins to finish off this second card.

  

  I used the following Copic markers to color this card ~ R000, R14, R27, Y000, Y06, Y15, B000. 

  

  I hope that you’ve liked my last share for the June 2020 FOTM card kit!! I’ll be back tomorrow with inspiration for the new August 2020 Sketch Challenge for the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group.

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky hugs,

  Crystal

  June 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Picnic Time Collection ~ Cute Ant Card!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Jul 3rd
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a cute card using the Picnic Time Collection from the June 2020 A Walk in the Park card kit! I shared my card for the new July Sketch Challenge just a couple of days ago and I got to thinking that when you cut your papers for this sketch you’re left with such angled pieces. I thought maybe it would be fun to share a card using those leftovers. I decided to use the leftover pieces from my card that I shared during the reveal and hop. You can check out that card here… Picnic Time Collection card.

  

  And here is what I came up with for those leftover pieces. Speaking of leftover pieces… I know that this card kit has sold out, but this paper pack is still available separately —> Picnic Time paper pack!!!

  

  I think it turned out pretty cute! What do you think?

  

  And I finally got a chance to ink up that cute ant stamp! He was so much fun to color! I actually have two videos to share for this card… the first video is the Copic coloring of the sweet Picnic Time Ant!

  And the second video is the fussy cutting and assembling of the card.

  I thought I’d split these up so they’d be shorter and maybe if you’re more interested in the coloring you can watch that or if you’d rather just see the fussy cutting and assembling ~ you can check that out! Well, that’s it for me today!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  More Inspiration with the Easy Peasy Collection ~ Squeeze the Day!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Jun 19th
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one more look at the May 2020 Let’s Encourage One Another card kit! Today, I’m sharing more inspiration using the gorgeous Easy Peasy Collection! Let’s get right to it!

  

  

  My first card is my absolute favorite! I love the colors and the simple design… those beautiful lemon blossoms are just the right touch for such a delicate combination of papers!

  I used the following Copic Markers to color the lemon blossoms ~ C00, C1, Y11, Y03, Y13, YR0000, YR01.

  

  

  I have been itching to make one of these beautiful lemons into a lime and I just had to pair it with this gorgeous green patterned paper. The photo makes my coloring appear to be a bit brighter, but in person it coordinates very nicely. I used the following Copic Markers to color these images:

  Lemon ~ Y000, Y11, Y13, YG0000, YG11, G82

  Lime ~ YG0000, YG03, YG11, YG63, G82

  

  

  My third and final card features one of the gorgeous lemon patterned papers in the collection… I love the colors in these papers!! It just screams summer to me! Again, the photo makes my coloring on this one also looks a bit bright, but in person it’s toned down. I used the same Copic markers for this last card but I kept the leaves lighter. You may also see a similarity to the card I created for my sneak peek of the Let’s Encourage One Another card kit… I flipped the stitched die cut card stock pieces for a different design. You can check out my sneak peek card here… Easy Peasy Sneak Peek card.

  Here’s a video sharing the coloring of the lemon from my second card and the finishing touches of assembling these cards. I hope you’ll check it out!!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  May 2020 FOTM ~ Little Lady Collection ~ Simple CAS Card

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Jun 12th
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a few more cards using the adorable Little Lady Collection of the Let’s Encourage One Another card kit! I have a bunch of pictures to share and a video so I’m going to try to keep this short… Lol. ‘Try’ is the key word here!

  

  

  I just have to say that the variety of color combinations in this collection are so versatile!! I created four cards, but each of them are so different! So I started with this fabulous black and white card… I did use black card stock from my stash to finish this card. I used the following Copic markers ~ N0, N1, N2, N4, N6, Colorless Blender.

  

  

  So I had another strip of that black with white polka dot paper and thought it would be a fun contrast to the red with black polka dots. It was easy to keep the polka dot theme going with the dots in the flower swag and ladybugs ephemera pieces. And to finish it off, I added a few more dots with the enamel dots included in the collection.

  

  

  

  How fabulous is this big ‘you GOT this’ die from the Banana Split subscription!?! I had the striped papers on my desk and was trying to figure out what to do with them… and then I saw this die! It’s actually two dies… I die cut the sentiment from the striped papers and white card stock. I adhered those together. And then I die cut the shadow image twice from black card stock (again, from my stash) and adhered those together. I adhered the sentiment onto the shadow image and totally got stuck!! Lol… I knew I wanted to use more of the fabulous ephemera pieces but the layout was not working. Anyhow, I remembered a card that Teresa had shared recently where the top of the card was cut short to show some patterned paper inside the card and Bam! I had my design!

  

  

  My last card is a CAS card that I created with the embossing powder included in the Banana Split subscription. Be sure to check out my process video down below!!

  

  Here’s one last look at all four card together… they are all so different, but I sure love how they turned out!

  Have you received your card kit? We’d love to see your creations in the Scrapping for Less Show & Share Facebook group. We even have a fun sketch challenge going on through the month of June… come check it out!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  May 2020 FOTM ~ Weather Together Collection ~ Faux Shaker Card

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Jun 5th
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with some more inspiration using the sweet Weather Together Collection of the May 2020 Let’s Encourage One Another card kit! I have created three more cards to share with you today and even have a video of the third card!

  

  My first card features the sunburst rainbow paper for my background layer that is trimmed down to 3-7/8 x 5-1/8″ and mat on a piece of Blu Raspberry card stock measuring 4 x 5-1/4″. I die cut a stitched circle from white card stock and then masked off the edge with some scrap paper. I then stamped the rainbow from the Weather the Storm stamp set with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored it with Copic markers. I then die cut another slightly bigger circle from the Blu Raspberry card stock and mat the rainbow circle.

  

  I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white card stock, trimmed it and mat it with the same Blu Raspberry card stock. I popped up the circle rainbow and sentiment with foam squares. A simple and cute card!

  

  I still had the rainbow stamp on my Stamp Platform and had adhered these pretty patterned papers together so… I got to thinking that this would be a cute idea for a second card. What do you think? It’s another simple design. I wrapped the ribbon around the card front and secured it with Tear & Tape from Stampin’ Up. Here’s a similar tape that’s available in the SFL Shop… Scor-Tape. I then tied a knot with the little piece of ribbon left over and trimmed the edges. I used a glue dot to adhere it to the card… a little cheat for those days you don’t want to fuss with trying to tie a bow. I popped up the rainbow panel that I had mat with the Blu Raspberry card stock with foam squares.

  

  I used the same Copic markers for my first two cards. Here’s a list:

  Red ~ R000, R14

  Orange ~ YR0000, YR16

  Yellow ~ Y000, Y13

  Green ~ G000, G07

  Blue ~ B000, B02

  Purple ~ V0000, V06

  

  And here is my third card… a Faux Shaker card.

  

  A close up photo of the third card. I created a video for this card… you can check it out down below!

  

  My trio of Weather Together cards! These were fun to create!

  There’s only 4 card kits left!! Hurry and order yours before they are all gone! —> Let’s Encourage One Another card kit!

  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!

  See ya next time.

  Inky hugs,

  Crystal

  SFL Sketch Challenge #5 Extended ~ May 2020 FOTM Card Kit

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Jun 1st
  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie

  sharing a card for the May challenge for the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group which is extended through June!! The May challenge is a fun sketch challenge and since we’ve included the sketch in the May 2020 Sketch Sheet that’s available to download on the Scrapping for Less website, we thought it would be a fun idea to extend the challenge and let everyone have some more time to play along and maybe even use their May 2020 Let’s Encourage Once Another Card Kits in the challenge!!

   

  So, the key to playing along with the challenge is being a member of the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group if you aren’t already a member —> join here!! Also, please note that you don’t need a blog to enter the challenge as you’re adding a photo of your creation directly in the Challenge album in the group. But you are welcome to include a link to your blog in the description of your creation, if you’d like.

   

  Here’s what Sketch Challenge #5 looks like…

   

  

   

   

  I have a couple of cards using this sketch to share with you…

  

  My first one is from the reveal and hop for the May 2020 Let’s Encourage One Another card kit… this was a very fast card to create. I literally didn’t stamp one thing for this card. I just trimmed the patterned papers and adhered them to a white card base. I die cut the oval from white card stock and adhered it to the card. And the sweet Little Lady Ephemera pieces and enamel dots finished off the card! Easy Peasy!

  

  My second card is also using products from the Little Lady Collection of the May 2020 card kit. I trimmed my patterned papers and adhered them to a white card base. I die cut a wonky stitched oval die from white card stock. I used the cloud stencil from the Banana Split subscription and blended a little scene for the ladybug and her daisies with Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks. I used Shabby Shutters and Mowed Lawn Distress Markers for the shading under the ladybug and the stems of the daisies. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white card stock and mat it with the Lemon Drop card stock. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the oval scene and then popped up the oval and sentiment strip with foam squares.

  

  I used the following Copic markers to color the stamped images in this card:

  Ladybug ~ R000, R14, R46, N0, N2, N4, N5

  Daisies ~ Y11, Y13, Y35

  

  I thought about adding a couple enamel dots but the pretty daisies in the bottom right corner work right along with the sketch design so I left it as is. I sure hope that you’ll play along with our fun sketch challenge.

  This challenge will continue until June 30th at 11:59pm EST. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, July 1st in the challenge album. Please use #sflsketchchallenge5 in any social media posts when playing along with the challenge.

   

  And I’d like to invite you, again, to come play along with this challenge over in the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook Group! We’d love to see what you create using this fun sketch!

   

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

   

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal
