    • Winter Fairy House ~ Fairy Warm Winter

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Jan 17th

      Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a sweet little copic colored scene created using the cute Winter Fairy House stamp set from Scrapping for Less!! I am loving this adorable fairy cottage… it looks so cozy!

      I knew that I wanted to create a little snowy scene with the cottage from the Winter Fairy House stamp set and the trees from the Winter Fairies stamp set. They work perfectly together!! I stamped the cottage on a card front of white card stock measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I then stamped the cottage and trees on another piece of white card stock and colored them with the following copic markers:

      Fairy Cottage ~ BV00, BV02, BV08, BV11, R00, R81, R83, Y000, Y11, N0, N1, N2, N4

      Trees ~ YG0000, YG11, YG61

      Snow ~ C00, C1, C3

      Sky ~ B0000, B000, B00, B01

      Once all the trees and the cottage were colored, I fussy cut them and cleaned up the edges with a Memento tuxedo black marker. I even cut apart a pair of trees giving me more options in creating my scene. I then set the images aside and grabbed the card front that I had previously stamped the cottage on. I wanted to create a snowy scene but still have a lot of white left on the card… since I was going to basically paper piece the cottage I was able to color over the image on the card front but still have an idea of placement for all of the images. 

      I started by drawing a light line of blue with the lightest blue copic marker across the card front to divide the sky and the snow. I then colored the sky by just flicking my markers upwards working from lightest to darkest blue until I was happy with the blend. I then added just a little bit of shadow with a light gray copic marker for all of my snow. I placed the trees in the areas that I planned to adhere them and colored the shadows for those, as well. 

      I adhered all of the elements for my scene using a liquid glue and then adhered the entire panel to a dark purple card base… I think this turned out really cute! To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white card stock and mat it on black card stock. I adhered it to the card and decided this one was done. I just love how cozy this little scene feels!

      Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.

      Inky Hugs,

      Crystal

      I used Copic markers for the Fairy on the inside of the card and Prismacolor pencils for the two fairies on the outside of the card.

      I also used Momento Tuxedo Black Ink for the images, VersaFine Onyx Black Ink for the sentiments, some clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen on the fairies.  I used a mixture of adhesives the liquid adhesive was Art Glitter Glue, foam tape, and a tape roller.

      They are all A2 size cards or 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 inches. Folded into gatefold cards.

      All you need are 12 cut pieces of paper and

      four score lines.

      Card Base 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 inches (1)

      Pattern papers

    • Happy Fairy Blessings Ornament | Scrapping for Less

      Posted at 2:59 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
      Jan 14th

      Hello, it’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a wood slice ornament featuring stamps from the new exclusive Winter Fairy Collection.

      I recently ordered more wood slices from Amazon. This time I purchased them a little bit bigger than the ones I used for my Christmas ornaments. Those were 2.75″-3″ in size, the ones I just got are 3.75″-4″.

      I stamped the fairy and trees from the Winter Fairies stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored the images with my Ohuhu alcohol markers. You could use any alcohol marker or colored pencil to color these in.

      I used Nuvo Glitter Accents in Fresh Snowfall to put some dimension on her hat and ground. Nuvo Crystal Glaze added the perfect shine to the star wand. And lastly I added Nuvo Clear Glitter Glaze marker to her wings.

      Next I felt she needed a decorative box to put her in. So I took two sheets of the Winter in Pink 6×6 paper and made a box.

      For the bottom I scored the sheet at 1″ on all for sides, snipped the corners and taped the edges together with score tape. For the top I cut down the sheet to 5″ square and scored on all four sides at 1/2″ and assembled it the same way. I decorated the top with a triangle scrap I had left over from my Banner I did last week and a white paper doily from Doodlebug. Tying a sheer white ribbon around the box completed my project.

      Thanks for visiting,

    • Sticky Note Holders featuring Winter Fairy Collection|Scrapping for Less

      Posted at 9:00 am by Stacy Tiedemann
      Jan 12th

      Hi everyone!  I’m Beth from Bourbon Creek Crafts and I’m super excited to be a guest designer this month for SFL!  Today I’m sharing a different way to use the Winter Fairies stamp set and Winter in Pink paper pack. I needed some thank you gifts for a birthday party my daughter is having and this bundle was perfect!

       

      I made a decorated post it note pad holder using one of the fairies and sentiments from the Winter Fairies stamp set. I also have a process video on my YouTube channel, Bourbon Creek Crafts.  I colored the fairy with a variety of Prismacolor colored pencils and then accented her hat with Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Diamond and glittered up her wings (and the star on the wand) with clear Wink of Stella.  Because every good fairy should have some sparkle!

      To make the post it note holder, I used a 3 1/4 x 7 inch piece of heavy duty white cardstock.  I scored the cardstock piece at 3 1/4 inches from both ends.  Then I used 2 different papers from the Winter in Pink 6×6 paper pack to decorate the cardstock.  I cut the patterned paper to 3 1/8 inches square, so there was just a small border of the white cardstock base showing and adhered it to the post it note holder base.

      I stamped the “a warm fairy hello” onto white cardstock and cut it down to ¾ inch by 1 3/8 inches.  I also cut one end of that piece into a fish-tail banner.  I fussy cut the fairy and adhered the fairy and the sentiment to the front of the post it note holder. Then I finished it off with some sequins from past SFL Flavor of the Month kits.

      Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed my project!  I look forward to joining you all again later this month!

    • Winter Fairies ~ Bright Fairy Wishes

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Jan 10th

      Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with another sweet card using the adorable Winter Fairies stamp set by Scrapping for Less. I couldn’t wait to ink up this adorable fairy napping on the moon… doesn’t she just look so happy?! Love it!

      I started by stamping the cute fairy on the moon with Memento tuxedo black ink and then I colored the image in with the following copic markers:

      Skin ~ E000, E00, E21, R00, R20

      Hair ~ E35, E37

      Clothes ~ RV0000, RV10, RV11, C00, C1

      Moon/Cloud ~ Y000, Y11, Y13, Y18, B000

      Once the cute fairy and moon were colored, I fussy cut them… and even used my craft knife to cut the tiny space between the fairy’s hat and the moon. I just realized that I missed the space between her hat and her wing… oops! Anywho, I set that aside and got to work on the background.

      I blended a tiny bit of Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink in the center left portion of the panel and blended some Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks around that center portion working my way outwards to the edge. I blended over these a few times to get just the right blend. I then dried my background with a heat tool and splattered some white acrylic paint onto the background for my stars.

      I set the background aside to dry and die cut the stitched scallop frame from Gina Marie Designs and the stitched clouds from Lawn Fawn, both from white card stock. I then adhered the clouds to the back of the frame piece and trimmed the edges. I trimmed down the blended background to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ and then popped up the frame/cloud piece on the blended background.

      I then adhered the entire panel onto a white card base. I love how this sweet card turned out! I sure hope that you like it too!

      Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.

      Inky Hugs,

      Crystal

    • Winter Fairies by SFL!

      sflblog01092020.png

      Hi crafty friends! Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde with a fairy fun shaker card to show off SFL’s new release! (Sorry I couldn’t help myself.) Shaker cards are fun, versatile and add a little something out of your ordinary everyday card. Over the years I have watched many videos of how to make them, different methods and tricks. Every time I sit down to make a shaker card I feel like I’m learning for the first time. I will say this card might be the one I had the least amount of trouble with but please note the trouble is mine not in the technique itself. It’s actually a very simple process I just struggle with it for some strange reason. I have to take each step slowly so that I don’t glue the wrong pieces together.  I was so happy with the way it turned out!

      Here’s a quick run down of what I did:

      • stamped sentiment on the clear acetate sheet  (after hitting it with an Embossing Magic Pad so the embossing powder wouldn’t cling where I didn’t want it to) with VersaFine black onyx ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder
      • the image from Winter Fairies by SFLwas stamped with Memento black ink then was colored with Prismacolor pencils & maybe Derwent inktense pencils (I keep them in the same case and when I’m coloring I am usually just looking for the right color not which brand)
      • fussy cutted out the image and then went around the edges with a Memento marker in black ink (gives it a finished look even if your edges are a little rough)
      • blinged it up a little with Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen on the moon, her hat and wings (not sure you’ll be able to see it though)
      • the sequins are from my stash and went perfectly with the paper I was using from the Winter in Pink 6×6 paper pad from SFL
      • used Couture Creations 3D Foam Strips-white to create the shaker space (these worked like a dream! and I credit them for making the process much smoother for me this go round)
      •  used a scallop circle frame die to create the shaker window

      I was thrilled with the way it turned out and I am well on my way to using ALL the sentiments between the Winter Fairies stamp set & the Fairy House stamp set!

      20200101_215139

      Hi Everyone!  Luci here with a single layer card using the Brand New Release from SFL “Winter Fairies” and “Fairy House“! How adorable are these sets! I colored the images and created the scene with Copic Markers, and I finished up the card by stamping the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink added a few sequins and you can’t have Fairies without some Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen!

      Check out the process video HERE!

      snapshot.png

      I made an A2 size card or 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 inches, I cut a panel to 5 1/4 X 4 inches for the scene. I made some masks for the images, I stamped and masked as I went, using Momento Tuxedo Black Ink for stamping the images I was going to color. I drew in some hills with a pencil before I started coloring.   I colored the panel.  Once I finished coloring I adhered the panel to the card base, added a few sequins and used the Sparkle Pen on tops of hills, the roof, the white parts of her hat, and the accents on her dress and shoes.

    • Winter Fairy Party Banner

      Posted at 3:02 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
      Jan 7th

      Hello, it’s Stacy here from Craftaholicmomma today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a paper craft project featuring all three products from the brand new SFL release, Winter Fairy.

      My daughter’s birthday is coming up at the end of January so I wanted to make her something she could use at her party and then afterwards hang in her room.

      This banner was very simple. I did not use any dies, just minimal supplies.

      First I stamped and colored all of the main images from the two stamp sets, Winter Fairies and Fairy House. I’ve heard lots of good things about the Ohuhu Alcohol Markers from Amazon so I wanted to give them a try. I love my Copics but sometimes I want a bullet nib. So I purchased the 200 pack bullet nib markers at a very reasonable price (50 cents a marker). I was very pleased with them. They were all very juicy.

      I listed the colors I used for each image.

      I used my Brother Scan n Cut to cut out my images including the snowflakes.

      Next I picked out 6 sheets of the new SFL Winter in Pink 6×6 paper pack. I trimmed these to 5 1/4″ square. Next I measured the bottom edge halfway (2 5/8″) and made a mark.

      Next I connected the two upper corners with my mark, drew a line and then cut on the two lines to form my banner piece.

      I wanted to mat the paper on white card stock. So the card stock is cut a little bit bigger at 5 1/2″ square. I repeated the same process marking my edge at 2 3/4″.

      Next I took a hand held hole punch and punched two holes in the upper corners of all 6 pieces. This is where I will later string my ribbon through.

      Next I popped up my images on adhesive foam tape and centered them on the banners.

      I finished decorating them with the snowflakes and adhesive bling. I ran pink ribbon to connect them and Viola! I made a seriously adorably cute banner in less than one hour!

      Thanks for visiting and enjoy all of the beautiful projects the design team creates this month with this brand new Winter Fairy release.

    • Winter Fairy Card by Guest Designer Jess

      Posted at 9:00 am by Stacy Tiedemann
      Jan 5th

      Hey friends!

      I’m Jess Francisco from A Card Day’s Work and I’m so thrilled to be guest designing for Scrapping for Less today. I’m sharing a fun scene card using the brand new January release – let’s get started!

      I decided to stamp out the adorable fair image from ‘Winter Fairies‘ and the little cottage from ‘Winter Fairy House‘ on a piece of white cardstock. I used my Mini MISTI for this to make sure I got a perfect stamp. Once my stamping was done, I grabbed some full sticky back post it notes and stamped each image. I cut these out with a pair of sharp scissors to use as masks.

      I placed the masks directly over the images so they’d be protected when I moved on to my next step – ink blending! I grabbed a few of my trusty Distress Oxide ink pads (Shaded Lilac, Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves, and Black Soot) and got to blending. If you want to check out my technique for creating this background, I’ve got a video tutorial up for this card on my YouTube channel. You can watch it down below or HERE on YouTube.

      https://youtu.be/ZjSbjINTuAI

      After I did my ink blending, I used my Distress Sprayer to add some water droplets to the inked area. I let it sit for a little bit and then dabbed up the excess water with a clean paper towel. Then, I watered down some Opaque White Gesso and splattered it on my background to give it a snowy or starry effect. I set my background aside to dry.

      I used my Spectrum Noir Classique alcohol markers to color up these adorable images and then trimmed my card front down to 4×5.25. I mounted it to a white A2 sized card base and that finished off my card! I wanted to hold off on adding a sentiment so that when the time comes, I can stamp the perfect one and have my card ready to go.

      I hope you love today’s card – be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my post – I can’t wait to see you guys again later this month.

      Hugs and love,
