  Oct 9th
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with another look at the beautiful September 2020 FOTM Card Kit called Orchards & Patches… I’m using the adorable Apple Orchard Pickin’ paper pad along with one of the sketches from the September 2020 Sketch Sheet for a few quick cards!
  
  I’ve used the cute Cut-Aparts from the Apple Orchard Pickin’ paper pad to create these sweet Fall inspired cards. I had to get creative with my layers as I was running out of card stock from my card kit leftovers. I share a trick for when that happens in my process video… you can check that out below.
  
  Here’s a close up look of my cards…
  
  And here’s a link to the video… September 2020 FOTM ~ 3 Quick Cards with Cut-Aparts.

- October Sketch Challenge #8 ~ September 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Happy Fall
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Oct 1st
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie and I’m sharing the October challenge for the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group! This month’s challenge is another sketch challenge. We had such a great turn out for our last slimline sketch challenge that I thought we’d give it another try!
  
  Before we get to the sketch and the card that I’m sharing today… the key to playing along with the challenge is being a member of the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group so if you aren’t already a member be sure to join in the fun —> 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 into the challenge album in the group. You are welcome to include a link to your blog in the description of your creation, if you’d like.
  
  Alrighty… let’s have a look at the sketch for challenge #8…
  
  You may remember seeing a sneak peek or two of this sketch during our reveal and hop for the new September 2020 FOTM Card Kit – Orchards & Patches… if you haven’t hopped with us yet , you can start hopping —> here. Now, let’s check out the card I created as inspiration for the sketch…
  
  A cute slimline featuring the adorable gnome from Collection Two: Apple Orchard Pickin’… isn’t he just the cutest?! I used the sweet Harvest Time Stencil included in the Banana Split subscription… blending some Mustard Seed and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks over the sunflower one at a time. I cut my slimline card front measuring 3-1/2 x 8-1/2″ from Speckled Orange card stock and adhered it to a white slimline card base measuring 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″. I trimmed down my sunflower background to 3-1/4 x 8-1/4″ and used a corner rounder punch on all four corners. I adhered the background to my card base and cut a 3/4″ strip of Jellybean Green card stock and stamped the Happy Fall sentiment masking each of the words separately so I could stamp the sentiments next to each other. I stamped them with Clear Embossing ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I adhered the green sentiment strip to the card base and set it aside.
  
  I stamped the adorable Apple Gnome stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with the following Copic Markers:
  
  Skin ~ E000, E00, E11
  
  Beard ~ C00, C1
  
  Hat ~ E51, E55
  
  I stamped the hat of the Apple Gnome onto a couple scrap pieces of patterned paper from the collection and fussy cut them out and adhered them to the hat. I then fussy cut the gnome… also cutting off portion of the apple on his hat… and adhered him to a white die cut circle. I fussy cut the cute little sunflower and leaf from a piece of the patterned paper and adhered them to the gnome’s hat. I adhered the circle to a scalloped circle that I die cut from the Speckled Orange card stock. I popped up the focal image on the card with foam squares. To finish off the card, I added a few of the tiny sequins from the Banana Split subscription all around the card. I think it turned out pretty cute!
  
  The October Sketch challenge will run from today, October 1st and will end October 31st at 11:59pm EDT. The winner will be announced in the comments of the Challenge album on Sunday November 1st. Please use #sflsketchchallenge8 in any social media posts when playing along with the challenge.
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

  Sep 25th
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with the last sneak peek of the September 2020 FOTM Card Kit before the reveal and hop that starts at midnight tonight!! This Fall loving girl is in love with this kit!! It’s so stinkin’ cute and just perfect for all your Fall cardmaking needs!! Enough chit chat… let’s get to the card I created!
  
  So… if you have followed my creative card making journey at all, you may know about my obsession with teal trucks. lol… I love them so! It’s really no surprise that I just had to frame this adorable paper and make it a feature of my card! I love it!
  
  I layered the two beautiful papers from Collection Four and adhered a stitched scallop frame that I die cut from white card stock. I stamped the Hey There Pumpkin stamp with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored it in with my Copic markers. I used the following Copic markers:
  
  ‘Hey There’ ~ E23
  
  ‘Pumpkin’ ~ BG01, BG10, BG45, BG57
  
  Pumpkin ~ YR15, YR21, YR27, YR68, E21, E23, E27
  
  I then fussy cut around the image and sentiment and then adhered it to a white stitched oval. I then popped that up on the card and finished it off with a few enamel dots. You can check out my process video below…
  
  I am just loving how this card turned out. It has me dreaming about cooler days with leaves changing colors and falling leaves. *sigh* Do you love Fall too? Let me know in the comments what’s your favorite part of the Fall season.
  
  Don’t forget about the reveal and hop tonight at midnight, but be sure to snatch up your card kit before then!! You do not want to miss out on this one!!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Sep 18th
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one more card using the adorable Bubbles Galore card kit from Scrapping for Less!! I’ve used the cute Bubbles Die from the Banana Split subscription to create an easy border edge for my card.
  
  I did a little paper piecing with my copic colored dragon from the Tiny Bubbles stamp set in Collection Four: Bubbles Galore. And the cute sentiment that I think goes just perfectly with this card design is from the Bubbles in the Tub stamp set included in Collection One: Bubbles in the Tub.
  
  Here’s a close up of the card. I used the following Copic markers to color this cute dragon:
  
  Dragon ~ YG00, YG11, YG13, BV000, BV11, V17, N0, N2
  
  Bubble Wand ~ RV04
  
  Bubbles ~ RV000, B000
  
  Ground ~ N0, N1
  
  I have a process video sharing how I created this cute card and fun bubbles border.
  
  You can check that out here…
  
  I think this card turned out pretty cute! I hope you like it too!

  Hey there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple of easy Fun Fold cards using the adorable Winter Fairies and Winter Fairy House stamp sets, along with the recently release Neutrals Vol. 1 paper pad! I love using non-traditional colors for my Christmas cards and this new paper was perfect for the card I’m sharing today!
  
  So this one piece of paper in particular looks like snowflakes to me… I thought it would be really cute for a Christmas card. What do you think?
  
  A close-up of the copic coloring. I used the following Copic markers for this card:

  Hair ~ E21, E23, E27
  
  Clothes/Wings/Wand ~ BV0000, BV000, BV11, C00, C1, C2

  Love the font for this one!

  And my Copic Coloring of the Winter Fairies fairy here…
  
  I actually made this Fun Fold Card first, but I added SO many layers that I wanted to make a quicker version to share with you all so I made a more CAS card. But how adorable is this one!! I really love the soft pinks and greens and I pulled those colors from the beautiful Winter in Pink paper pad… one of my absolute fave papers for Christmas!!
  
  I used the same stamp sets for this card… Winter Fairies, Winter Fairy House, and Christmas Sentiments.
  
  And the inside… Ahhh-dorable!!! Am I right?! I created a little scene with the Winter Fairy House and the cute fairy snoozing on the moon.
  
  Here’s a close-up of the inside.
  
  And here’s a list of the Copic Markers I used for this card:
  
  Skin ~ E000, E01, E11
  
  Hair ~ E51, E53, E55
  
  Clothes ~ RV10, R81, R83, R85, YG03, YG11, Y000, Y11, C00, C1
  
  Moon ~ Y000, Y11, Y02

  House ~ RV10, R81, R83, R85, Y000, Y11, Y02, E51, E53, E55, YG03, YG11, YG25

  Snow ~ C00, C1, C2
  
  Smoke ~ N0, N1, N2, N4
  
  Trees ~ YG03, YG11, YG25

- A Couple Cute Christmas Cards!
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Sep 4th
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple of cute Christmas cards using a mix of new and old Christmas products from Scrapping for Less! I used the new beautiful Red Christmas paper pad along with the Christmas Sentiments and Reindeer Games stamp sets.
  
  A fabulous mix of pretty papers and adorable stamps along with a fun sketch makes for some adorable Christmas cards to add to my stash!
  
  Using a white card base for my first card helps the white in the patterned papers to pop on the card… really drawing your eye to all the pretty papers!
  
  I just love this cute Reindeer kid from the stamp set… so fun to color!
  
  I love the mix of kraft, red, and white in these papers… one of my favorite color combos AND perfect for Christmas cards!! I probably shouldn’t have included the tree… it kinda messes with the color scheme but it’s so cute!
  
  I used the following Copic markers for both cards:
  
  Reindeer Kid ~ R14, R20, R27, E000, E23, E25, E31, E34, E51, YR23, YR27
  
  Christmas Tree ~ G24, G28, G29, Y06, Y17, R14, R20, R27, E55, E57, E59, B000, B01
  
  Have you started on your Christmas cards yet? I have just over a dozen in my stash… I really need to get more done so I’m not freaking out around the holidays. Well, that’s it for me this time.
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- July 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Tropical Fruit Collection
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Aug 21st
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one more card using the beautiful Tropical Fruit Collection of the July 2020 FOTM Card Kit!! I had fun designing this card with almost a monochromatic feel with all the green papers, but a splash of yellow and pink!
  
  I really like the unique design of this card with the focal image to the side. Mix matching the pretty Tropical Fruit papers for this card was fun, too!
  
  I really love this sentiment… so punny! I also enjoyed coloring these pretty pineapples. I used the following Copic markers: Y11, Y13, Y35, E23, RV34, RV91, YG03, YG11, YG13, YG17, YG63. I fussy cut the pineapples and adhered the larger one to the card front. I then popped up the smaller one using foam squares. I also popped up the sentiment and finished off the card with three pink enamel dots. I adhered the finished card front to a white card base. I think it turned out pretty cute!
  
  That’s it for me this time.
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- July 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Tropic Vibes Collection ~ More Inspiration
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Aug 14th
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple of cute cards using the Tropic Vibes Collection of the July 2020 FOTM Card Kit! I am loving the gorgeous papers in this collection! For today’s cards, I’m actually making two cards using one 6 x 6″ sheet from the Tropic Vibes papers in the collection.
  
  I trimmed the patterned paper to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ and then used a stitched scallop border die to cut both ends of the paper. A great way to use gorgeous papers in a simple card design.
  
  I trimmed a piece of white card stock to 4 x 5-1/4″ and adhered it to a pink card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I then adhered the patterned paper to the card front and then adhered the entire panel to a white card base. I popped up the beautiful Tropical Vibes ephemera piece as my focal image with foam squares and finished off the card with a few pink enamel dots.
  
  My second card using the other piece of patterned paper… with the same design, just flipped!
  
  A super easy way to get two cards (plus scraps for a third, maybe) from a 6 x 6″ sheet of patterned paper. For this second card, I stamped the flamingo from the Tropic Vibes stamp set and colored it with the following Copic markers ~ R00, R01, RV00, RV10, RV21, RV23, Y11, Y13.
  
  A look at both cards together! Love how these turned out!
  
  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
