- Grande-Sized Love from MFT
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Dec 12th
  Hello and Season’s Greetings to you all! I hope you are having a good December and are busy making memories with friends and loved ones. Today I want to share with you a little card with a grande message. ( I know, I know but I love punny.)Grande-Sized Love from My Favorite Things clear stamp.
  
  This pure innocence girl from MFTis incredibly versatile. You could use it for a thank you card, birthday card, I love you card and of course she would be adorable on a card containing a gift card especially if that gift card was for a place that served coffee. I kept things pretty simple wanting her to take center stage on the card. Here is the run down of what I did and what I used to do it:
  - stamped the image out in Gina K black amalgam ink
  - colored her in with Copic sketch markers
  - used a Prismacolor pencil to add in hair strands
  - stamped the image out onto patterned paper from Echo Park’s Spring Dots and Stripes paper pad and then fussy cut out her dress
  When paper piecing an item like clothing you want to cut directly on the black line because the lines in your image that you are adding the cut out to are the ones that will show.
  - adhered the dress down with liquid glue
  - used a stitched rounded rectangle die to cut out image
  - used a travel coffee cup die from my stash to create a travel coffee cup like the one the girl is holding n the stamp
  - stamped the sentiment and then embossed it with WOW clear embossing powder (you can use baby powder or an embossing buddy to keep your embossing powder from sticking where you don’t want it to)
  - add finishing touches to the heart and around the sentiment withNuvo Stone Drops in pink granite
  - also added some sparkle to the polka dots on her dress and the coffee cup with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen in clear
  - cut the striped paper down to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and my white card base to 4 1/4″ x 11 scored it at 5 1/2″ for a top folding card
  - glued it all down except for the travel coffee cup which I popped up withbig circle double sided foam tape
  This card is bright and cheery and a perfect thank you for me to give to a fellow coffee lover who really is always there to pick me up. I really do love the pure innocence collection from My Favorite Things and am so excited to add this little gal to my collection. Thank you for spending some time with me today on the blog and hope you are carving out a little time for yourself to do something crafty.
  
  Keep on crafting,
  
  Kim 🙂

  Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a bunch of cards I made using what I think is probably my newest favorite Doodlebug collection: Winter Wonderland. Well…..it’s definitely in the top 5. LOL
  
  What I love about Doodlebug is all you need is their 6×6 paper pad and the Icon stickers and you are good to go! I’m only showing 12 cards today. I originally made 23 cards and one cell phone case insert from the paper pad. However, I gave some of the cards away to family and friends before I realized I wanted to use them in my Design Team post.
  
  Stop over to the Scrapping for Less store to grab some of this line of products in this adorable collection.
  
  Thanks for visiting,

  Dec 8th
  
  Hi there everybody. Courtney here with a project using the Crafty Turnabout stamp set by Concord and 9th.
  
  I created 2 backgrounds using the stamp, one with all gray ink and the other using a variety of dye Inks
  
  Next I used 2 stitched rectangle dies too die cut both my backgrounds being sure they are lined up exactly the same.
  
  I assembled each card by layering the larger panel onto black cardstock then popping up the middle panel with foam tape. I heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock and called them done.
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a creative and crafty day!
  
  -Courtney.

- Floral Card Featuring Scrapping for Less’ Fairy’s Garden Pattern Paper & Gina K’s Whimsical Wildflowers Stamp Set by Jackie Pasko
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Stacy Tiedemann
  
  Dec 7th
  
  Hello everyone! It’s Jackie from Jackie’s Craft Table, and I’m so excited to be a special guest designer this December for Scrapping for Less!! The card I created features the gorgeous stamp set from Gina K Designs called, “Whimsical Wildflowers,” and the beautiful pattern paper from Scrapping for Less called, “Fairy’s Garden.”
  
  I absolutely love creating floral cards, and I had a ball putting this one together. I chose one of the many beautiful flowers from the stamp set and colored it in with some Prismacolor colored pencils. I used flicking motions to add some texture to my flowers, and I left a white highlight in the middle of each petal–this really helps to make them pop.
  
  I fussy-cut my flowers and leaves, attached them to my sentiment, and popped it up with foam tape. The pattern paper is what really pulls this card together. I love flowers and stripes together–they go together like peanut butter and jelly. I used a piece of the floral paper as well as a piece of the striped paper, and that’s what really added the magic to this card! I used some pink Nuvo Drops and some strips of metallic paper over my seams, and this card was complete! There is also a process video for this card over on my YouTube channel.
  
  The Scrapping for Less theme for December is Hodgepodge Potpourri which means we will be showcasing all kinds of different products and companies this month. Check out the blog to see all of these fabulous products! I hope you enjoyed my card project and were inspired to create something fabulous!
  
  Have a wonderful day, everyone!
  
  Jackie

- Heffy Doodle & Nuvo ~ Prehistoric Pals Meet Stone Drops
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Dec 6th
  
  Hey there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a cute card using the adorable Prehistoric Pals stamp set from Heffy Doodle along with the In the Desert papers by Scrapping for Less! I just love all the cute images in the set and the punny sentiments are amazing!
  
  To start my card, I cut a half sheet of kraft card stock into two pieces measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I then die cut one of the pieces. I also die cut the patterned paper with the same stitched rectangle die. I trimmed the patterned paper and adhered it to the die cut kraft card stock. I then adhered that piece to the other kraft card front and then adhered the entire panel to a white card base.
  
  I die cut the other patterned paper with a stitched banner die and adhered it to a scrap piece of kraft card stock and fussy cut a mat. I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I set the card aside and stamped the mammoth and cave girl with Memento tuxedo black ink.
  
  I colored the images with the following Copic markers:
  
  Cave Girl ~ Skin ~ E0000, E00, E11; Hair ~ E21, E23, E37;
  
  Clothes ~ E42, E44, E47, YR14, YR24, YR27
  
  Mammoth ~ YR14, YR21, YR24, YR27, E44, E47, W00, W1, W3
  
  I fussy cut the images and cleaned up the edges of the images with a Memento tuxedo black marker. I die cut a stitched circle from white card stock and colored it with a bit of N0 and N1 to ground the images. I popped up the images on the stitched circle using foam tape.
  
  To finish off the card, I added a bunch of Nuvo Chalk White Stone drops… once I started playing with these gritty drops I just couldn’t stop adding them. I think they are perfect for this prehistoric card!! They look like tiny boulders… so fun!
  
  Here’s one more look at this cute card… I think this sentiment works for so many occasions!!
  
  And I’m excited to play some more with the Nuvo Stone drops… I just may use them in my next post!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- Florals from Gina K Designs and Papers from Scrapping for Less

  Hi Everyone! Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a few cards using the Gina K Designs “Sweet Friendship” stamp set, Spring Patterns paper pack from Scrapping for Less, some Crystal Nuvo Drops, Stone Nuvo Drops, and a few sequins!
  
  I colored all of these images with Prismacolor Premier Pencils, I’ve added the photos of the pencil numbers next to each photo!
  
  Be sure to check out the video HERE!
  
  For this first card, I stamped the image on 110lb Neenah Solar White card stock. I am making an A2 size card I used a stitched oval die to cut out a frame for the card. I used a powder blue color card base and cut one of the pieces of pattern paper down to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2, so the piece is the size of the card with no borders. I used a stitched oval die to create a frame from the pattern paper. Then I adhered the floral design to the card base and used foam tape to pop up the frame piece and adhered it while lining it up. I stamped the sentiment on the same type of paper and cut the thin strip to about 4 inches and fishtailed the ends. I adhered the sentiment to the card panel toward the bottom leaving some of the frame hole showing on the bottom. I used Crystal Nuvo Drops and some sequins from my stash to finish off the card.
  
  For the second card, I stamped the image on Strathmore Colored Pencil paper, the card is A2 size and I cut the back panel from pattern paper to 4in X 5 1/4in to leave a border from the dusty pink color card base I used. I used a stitched oval die to cut out the image, used “Worn Lipstick” Distress Oxide Ink to give some color just to the outer edge of the oval. Then I cut out an oval the next size up from the same colored pencil paper and layered it behind the oval with the image. I adhered that piece toward the bottom center of the card, stamped a sentiment from the same paper, cut out the strip, fishtailed one end and adhered it to towards the top of the card. I finished off the card by adding some Crystal Nuvo Drops.
  
  For my final card, I stamped the image on Strathmore Colored Pencil paper, the card is A2 size and I cut the back panel from pattern paper to 4in X 5 1/4in to leave a border from the Neenah Solar White card base I used. I then used strips to crisscross measuring 2in X 4 1/4in and 1 3/4in X 5 1/2in. The image I cut down to 2 1/2in X 3 3/4in and adhered it to a rectangle piece measuring 3 1/4 X 4 1/2in. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the image paper and finished it off with some Nuvo Stone Drops.

- You Color My World
  
  Posted at 4:07 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
  
  Dec 3rd
  
  Hello, Happy December! It’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up on the Scrapping for Less blog today. The theme for this month is Hodgepodge Potpourri. Which means we will be showcasing all kinds of different products and companies this month.
  
  Today I am using the “You Color My World” stamp set by My Favorite Things. I thought the bright fun colors of the Sea Buddies 6×6 paper collection by Scrapping for Less would go perfectly with the stamp.
  
  I colored the image with alcohol markers and fussy cut her out. I took a piece of the paper that had a bunch of flowers on it and cut out all the flowers on my Brother Scan n Cut to use as embellishments. A scrap piece of Doodlebug Designs Sprinkles Vellum added just the right touch. I just love that vellum! I hoard it because they don’t make it anymore so I only use it on just the right project.
  
  I hope you’ll love all the projects and goodies the design team will be showcasing this month. Thanks for visiting,

- November 2019 FOTM Card Kit ~ Sneak Peek
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Nov 29th
  
  Hello there crafty friends!! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one last sneak peek for the November 2019 Flavor of the Month card kit called A Vintage Christmas.
  
  I had such a hard time deciding which stamp to feature for my sneak peek… they are all so beautiful!! Typically vintage isn’t the style I would gravitate towards, but there’s something about vintage styles when it comes to Christmas cards. I think it brings back memories of childhood and thoughts of family that are no longer with us. At least it does for me. I have always loved the look of cobblestone on houses… I’m not sure that it’s vintage but I think the feel of it is.
  
  I made my cobblestones on the house by basically making dots of different warm grays and highlighting some of them. I think it turned out pretty cute. Definitely a technique that I’d like to try again. I used the following Copic markers on this card:
  
  Cobblestone ~ W00, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5
  
  Windows ~ Y000, Y06, Y15
  
  House ~ C00, C1, C2, YG03, YG11, YG63, YG91
  
  Roof / Door / Front Steps ~ N0, N1, N3, N5, N7
  
  Christmas Lights ~ Y000, Y06, Y15, G000, G24, B00, B02, R000, R14, R29
  
  Bows / Wreath ~ R000, R14, R29, G000, G24, G46
  
  Snow / Outline ~ C00, C1, C2, B0000
  
  If you looked through the list above, you may be wondering why I used Cool Gray (C00, C1, C2) on the house when you can’t see it. I tried to make paneling on the house with the cool grays and it didn’t work out as I had hoped. The paneling actually looked nice, but the cool gray and the warm grays of the cobblestones did not look nice together. So, I decided to try some yellow greens over it to see what would happen and for awhile the lines of the ‘paneling’ showed through and I thought it looked nice, but once the ink dried they were pretty much covered. It might have something to do with the 4 yellow green markers I used to find just the right green… lol… anywho, you don’t know unless you try, right?!
  
  I hope that you’ve enjoyed my sneak peek card! Be sure to check back for the reveal of the gorgeous November 2019 A Vintage Christmas card kit tonight at midnight Eastern time. The design team is hopping with so much lovely inspiration… we hope you’ll come back to have a look!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal
