  Christmas All Year Long – My Favorite Things Beast Friends

  Posted at 9:00 am by Lynnea Hollendonner

  Nov 9th

  Hey, everyone! It’s Christmas All Year Long at Scrapping for Less and I have some fun inspiration for you using the My Favorite Things Beast Friend stamp set. This was one of my first stamp sets from My Favorite Things  and it’s still one of my favorites!

  

  I stamped and colored the little yeti holding the string of lights from the Beast Friends stamp set with my Copics. My favorite way to color these guys is with light Neutral Gray Copic markers and skin tones for his face and ears. I grabbed some Distress Inks and started blending ink onto a background panel. I only used Crushed Olive, but because I didn’t clean off my blender brush the inside blending is a different shade of green. I quite like it when I stumble upon happy accidents!

  

  Once the ink blended background was completely dry I white heat embossed the three trees from the Beast Friends stamp set repeatedly across my card. I was going to leave it this way, but I decided to add a bit of shine with a gold ink from the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors watercolor palette. I’m so glad I did! To match the gold watercoloring I heat embossed a gold sentiment onto a strip, popped up my sentiment and yeti, and added some gold glittery enamel dots around the card.

  

  I love how the gold and green play off each other, don’t you?! Thanks for joining me! I hope you’re inspired to break out your Christmas supplies and get crafty!

  Soft Heat Embossed Lilac Snowflakes

  Posted at 8:00 am by Lynnea Hollendonner

  Oct 27th

  I just can’t wait for the first snow to fall! Where I live it’s not uncommon to have a dusting or two before Halloween!

  

  
  This card is the result of a happy accident – but I love the look! I sprayed the back of the Echo Park Magical Snowfall Stencil a little too heavily with Pixie Spray and I didn’t wait long enough for the spray to dry before adding it to my cardstock. I pressed Versamark ink over the stencil and when I removed it and added my Lilac Pearl embossing powder the powder actually stuck to the background. I LOVE it! I think it looks like the soft flurries of snow that picks up and blows around in the wind!

  

  The little snowman is from the Avery Elle Christmas Magic stamp set. I wanted him to match my heat embossed background, so I used some BV Copic Markers to color his hat and scarf. The sentiment is from the Sunny Studio Stamps Bundled Up stamp set. I thought it fit this card perfectly!

  

  I added all of my die cut elements onto my card and finished it off with some string tied in a bow. Head over to the Scrapping for Less store to find these products and more for your Holiday cards!

  September 2019 FOTM 5 Cards 1 Kit (plus a few more!)

  Posted at 8:00 am by Lynnea Hollendonner

  Oct 6th

  Hello! It’s time for my monthly Scrapping for Less Flavor of the Month five cards one kit video! Because of product issues this video is a bit late this month, so I tried to make up for it by creating some extra cards with the kit this month! Instead of my usual five cards I’m sharing EIGHT!

  

  
  Fall is one of my favorite seasons – it comes in close behind winter – and the products in this kit were so inspiring that I couldn’t help but to create more and give you extra inspiration!

  

  The papers in the first collection are ADORABLE! The pumpkin patch patterned paper is my FAVORITE! I created an easy framed scene with the cute kid cardstock pieces and a simple shaker card with the stamp set!

  

  Sweater weather is the name of the game for the second collection! I used some of the stickers and patterned papers to create a simple banner card and I used repeat stamping to create an almost one layer stamped card.

  

  Okay. Let’s be honest. THESE CARDS ARE MY FAVORITE!!! They scream fall and cool and comfy sweater weather! I die cut some of the patterned paper and pieced them onto ink blended backgrounds! So easy but really packs a punch!

  

  The little moose in the fourth collection is the most adorable thing in the world! I sure wish we had moose where I live! I paired him with a die cut sentiment included in the Banana Split level kit!

  

  To finish off the kit I used the stamp set in the Banana Split kit to create another almost one layer card! Watch the video at the beginning of this post to see how easy it was to create those clouds! And let me know in the comments which card is your favorite! See you soon!

  Heat Embossing with Picket Fence Studios String of Lights

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Oct 2nd

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here with a few cards using the Picket Fence Studios “String of Lights” stamp set.

  I love how simple yet lovely these cards were!

  To start I picked out A2 size card bases from my stash, cut down white cardstock panels to 4 X 5 1/4 inches.  Then I  stamped the images and sentiment together using my Mini Misti and Brutus Monroe embossing ink. I picked red, silver, gold, and green embossing powders and heat embossed them.  I adhered the card panels to the card bases. Then I simply added some embellishments for one I used sequins from an old SFL FOTM card kit and the rest I used Nuvo Crystal Nuvo Drops, the colors I used were Autumn Red and Silver Lining. Easy Peasy right!

  Soft Stenciled Snowflakes

  Posted at 8:00 am by Lynnea Hollendonner

  Sep 29th

  Hi everyone! I’m a lover of classic Christmas colors – but every now and then I feel the urge to create with soft pastel colors!

  

   

  
  This card is very easy to create and even to mass produce if you want! I started with a piece of light pink cardstock that I die cut with a stitched rectangle die. I sprayed the back of the Echo Park Magical Snowfall Stencil with some Pixie Spray and and pounced on some white pigment ink over the stencil. I love the look of the soft white on the pastel pink! If you wanted to have crisp white snowflakes you could use Versamark Ink and white embossing powder – but I like the look of the soft snowflakes.

  

  I die cut a large snowflake from some gold foiled cardstock to use as my center piece and added some coiled silver thread for added interest. My sentiment is from the Avery Elle Christmas Magic stamp set and I heat embossed it with gold powder to match the snowflake die cut. And that’s it! See what I mean! Super easy! Thanks for joining me!

  Window Shopping with PinkFresh Studios “Merry and Bright”

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Sep 25th

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a couple of cards using the “Merry and Bright” stamp set from PinkFresh Studios and Santa’s Workshop Paper Pad from Carta Bella.

  Be sure to check out the video HERE!

  

  This is a 5 1/2 inch square card.  I used a die to cut for squares to make the window from a piece of pattern paper from the Santa’s Workshop paper pad cut to 5 1/2 inches, then I made a template of curtains, traced it onto a different piece of pattern paper and cut it out. I adhered the curtains to the window frame.

  I then used a solid blue piece from the paper to use as the background.  I stamped all of the images for both cards from the “Merry and Bright” stamp set, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them out with my Scan N Cut.

  Next, I adhered the images to the blue panel and checked on placement every now and then by holding the window frame piece over it.  Once I had everything in place I adhered the back panel to the card base and then adhered the front panel to that.

  To finish it off I stamped the sentiment onto a white strip of paper and fishtailed the ends, then colored it in, popped it up with some fun foam and adhered it to the center of the card.

  

  My second card is also a 5 1/2 inch square but I made a little differently, I used an SVG file and card out the card base and curtain, then I adhered a piece of acetate to the window frame, I ran the curtain through my Big Kick using the Carta Bella embossing folder “Ogee” to give it some dimension, and then adhered it to the window panel.

  I glued a panel that I made by using a technique with Copic markers and rubbing alcohol, glued all the images down and then decided I didn’t like it.  So I cut the front panel off and the back of the card with the panel down to about 5 1/4 inches and adhered both to the front of a 5 1/2 inch square card base.

  Then I decided I didn’t like the white window frame so I colored it with Copic markers. To finish it off I stamped the sentiment onto a white strip of paper and fishtailed the ends, then colored it in, popped it up with some fun foam and adhered it to the center of the card.

  Pinkfresh Studio Autumn Colored Fancy Blooms

  Posted at 8:00 am by Lynnea Hollendonner

  Sep 15th

  Don’t you just love the colors of Autumn?! I do! And I love coloring floral images with yellow and orange to make a fall bouquet!

  

  I stamped out one of the bouquets from the Pinkfresh Studio Fancy Blooms stamp set and used Copic markers to color in the image. I used R08, YR09, and YR07 for the orange flower. The yellow flower I used YR04, Y17, and Y15. The leaves are BG78 and BG75 and the brown sprigs are E79 and E74.

  

  I cut out a few of my favorite patterns from the Lawn Fawn Fall Knit Picky paper pad with stitched dies and adhered them to a card front. I trimmed out my colored bouquet and added it to the stitched oval with foam squares. I stamped the sentiment from the Sunny Studio Stamps Beautiful Autumn stamp set onto a strip of patterned paper with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink and added it on top of my bouquet.

  

  I added a bit of shimmer to my bouquet with Liquid Pixie Dust to finish the card! Thanks for stopping by today!
