  Day 4: Sneak Peek | August Flavor of the Month Card Kit

  Posted at 8:00 am by Stacy Tiedemann

  Aug 27th

  Hi Everyone, it’s Stacy from CraftaholicMomma up on the Scrapping for Less blog with Day 4 of the new card kit sneak peeks.

  Are you excited? I know I am. The papers and stamps in this kit are so “exotic” they’ll turn you into a Wild Animal!!

  Today I used the stamp and papers from Collection Three. I also grab the sentiment from the Banana Split Stamp set.

  I created the image by doing a lot of masking and stamping to create my little meerkat crowd. I used a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide inks to blend the background.

  The handsome little meerkat down front was stamped on the pattern paper, fussy cut and paper pieced into position.

  To help the sentiment stand out as well, I slid the paper off to the side a teeny bit and did a “ghost” stamp.

  The big reveal with be this coming Saturday, at 12:00 am EST. If you’re interested in making sure one of these gorgeous kits has your name on be sure to sign up for a subscription (plus saves you even more $$) prior to 10:00 pm EST Friday night.

  Use the hashtag #sflFOTMexoticanimals on your social media using this card kit and we will select one lucky winner to feature their project on Scrapping for Less’ social media.

  It’s Sneak Peek Time!!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Aug 24th

  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie sharing a sneak peek of the new August 2019 Flavor of the Month card kit… and I hope that you are prepared for another amazing card kit!! I am always in awe of the fabulous kits that Kim and Teresa put together for us to create with… so awesome!

  

  One of my favorite collections in this month’s card kit includes this fabulous bird stamp and let me tell you… the papers in this gorgeous kit are Drop. Dead. Gorgeous!! I literally didn’t want to cut into them… lol… so I opted to use these beautiful foiled tags and a few other embellishments from the kit!! I did, however, cut into the papers and you’ll see what I created on Saturday when the kit is revealed and our hop is live!!!! Eeeep!! You’re going to love it!!

  

  Back to these beautiful tags though… I had so much fun coloring this bird!! I stamped the bird twice on each tag and then again on scrap pieces of white card stock. I used the following copics for this tag ~ B0000, B00, B14, B24, YR0000, YR21, YR24, E0000, E00, E41, E43. 

  

  I also added some white gel pen to the eyes. I fussy cut the birds out and colored the edges of the fussy cut birds black with my Memento tuxedo black marker and then I adhered them to the tags. For the pink bird I used the following copic markers ~ RV0000, RV10, RV63, YR0000, YR21, YR24, E0000, E000, E41, E43.

  

   I stamped the sentiment from the same collection omitting a portion of the sentiment (you can see a tiny bit of the omitted sentiment on the pink tag, but I’ll clean that up later with a sand eraser). I then added a strip of pretty gold glitter paper and then adhered the paper flowers. My final touch is some gold organza ribbon and twine jute… both from my stash (not included in the kit). Love how these turned out and I sure hope you’ve liked them too!

  Be sure to use the hashtag #SFLFOTMexoticanimals when posting your creations using the new August 2019 Flavor of the Month card kit!! I can’t wait to see your creations using this month’s kit!!

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

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  Sending a Cuddly Hello with Doodlebug Designs’ Koala Doodle-Pop

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Aug 23rd

  Hi everyone! Kim here with a cute koala doodle-pop from Doodlebug Designs and a confession…I have a habit of hoarding my doodle-pops! I know, I know they are meant to be used but I sure do love looking through them and sometimes find it hard to use them up. That being said they really do make the cutest addition to cards.

  

  I started off wanting to create some background paper with the koala stamps from the Hero Arts stamp set Realistic Animals. Using Gina K. Designs Amalgam ink in whisper I stamped the images all over the paper. It looked amazing at first and then once it dried I found that it was super hard to see which completely defeated the purpose. I didn’t want to completely lose the sheet so I decided to use it to frame the koala.

  

  I had some paper in my stash that was covered in leaves and I thought it would be perfect for using as a background. While trimming the paper down the leaves seemed to lend themselves perfectly to being cut out and a few of them popped up with some pop dot pieces. Some cards you may spend quite some time coloring an image or spend some time doing an ink technique or playing with embossing paste but so often when I am using a doodle-pop as a main focus the card comes together so quickly that I find myself looking it over extra long to see what I missed.

  

  QUICK TIP: WHEN USING POP DOTS BE SURE TO USE PARTS OF THE PANEL LEFT BEHIND AFTER USING THE DOTS. THEY CAN BE CUT UP AND USED FOR WHATEVER SIZE YOU MAY NEED! 

  Also the sentiment that was used on this card came from the Hero Arts stamp set Realistic Animals. I love this little koala’s face so sweet!

  Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you find some time for yourself today.

  Keep on crafting,

  Kim 🙂

  Hero Arts ~ Fennec the Fox ~ Thanks for Listening

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Aug 21st

  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with another card using the fabulous Fennec the Fox by Hero Arts… paired again with the awesome Kraft & Gold cardstock stack by DCWV!! I am loving this gorgeous desert inspired set and I just can’t help but use the kraft papers… it’s a perfect pairing of product!! Say that five times fast!! Lol!

  

  My card design was inspired by a Sketch Saturday sketch from a couple of weeks ago and even though I’d miss the deadline to enter my card in the challenge, I still had to play with this sketch! I trimmed the polka dot foil kraft paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ and adhered it a Vintage Cream A2 card base. I then trimmed a piece of Vintage Cream card stock down to 4 x 5-1/4″ and then ran it through my Big Shot with an oval die. I set those aside and then stamped and colored my images.

  

  I used the following Copic markers:

  Fox ~ E0000, E000, E95, E97, E99, R00

  Cactus/Flowers ~ YR09, YR15, YR21, R17, R27, Y06, YG00, YG03, YG63

  Ground ~ E23, E25

  

  How awesome is that foil shining in the background?! Such amazing paper!!

  

  Next, I stamped the sentiment on a strip of kraft card stock from the Kraft & Gold cardstock stack with VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I die cut it with my favorite Everyday Sentiment Banner die by Lawn Fawn.

  

  To finish off my card, I adhered my fussy cut images to the Vintage Cream layer and then I popped up the entire piece on the card using foam squares. I love the dimension the popped up layer gives to the card! The foxes in this beautiful set are so fun to color! I sure hope you’ve enjoyed my card today!

  Thanks so much for checking out my DT blog post! See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  Lawn Fawn ~ Critters Down Under

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Aug 17th

   Hello there! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a sweet baby card using the adorable Critters Down Under stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I couldn’t resist also using the Kraft & Gold cardstock stack from DCWV again… love these papers!!

  

  My card design today uses the fabulous sketch over at Mojo Monday Sketch challenge 520… only I turned the sketch on the side and moved the sentiment up to make my design work. I do love a good sketch! And this one was perfect for my card today! 

  Along with the fun Kraft & Gold papers I used the Fall Breeze papers from Photo Play… they coordinated beautifully! Since I knew I was doing a baby card, I chose the foiled hearts paper to adhere to my card base. I then used the Fall Breeze patterned papers and mat them on Lost Lagoon card stock from my stash. I die cut a cross stitched circle using the Large Cross Stitched Circle dies from Lawn Fawn and built my scene of stamped and colored images on the circle.

  

  Here’s a close up of the little scene I created. I used the following Copic markers for my card:

  Platypus ~ BG000, BG70, BG72, BG75, YR15, YR16, YR21, E55, E57

  Tree ~ E55, E57, E59, YG11, G24, G99

  Egg ~ YR21, YR30, BG72, BG75

  I had so much fun with this sketch that I decided to do a second card…

  

  This time I kept the sketch upright and used the sweet Koala Doodlepop for my focal image. I used Dark Chocolate and New Leaf card stock for my layers and of course, I had to use a bit more of the fabulous Kraft & Gold papers!! The sentiment is actually from the Critters Down Under set, however, it actually says ‘hoppy birthday’ so I changed the ‘o’ into an ‘a’ just using my Memento tuxedo black marker. Easy peasy!!

  

  In the close up photo you can really see that beautiful shine in the gold foil stripes of the paper! Love it! Well, that’s it for me today… I sure hope that you’ve enjoyed my cards for today!

  Thanks so much for stopping by to read my DT blog post! See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  Let’s Party with Avery Elle’s Peek-A-Boo Pals!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Aug 16th

  Hey everyone!

  It’s Kim again. I am here today with some super cute critters from Avery Elle. I don’t fussy cut too often but when I do I really go for it! ( I had little hands and heads all over my desk.) I stamped everyone in Gina K Designs amalgam black ink then colored them using my copics. I realize as I am telling you all about this that I didn’t think to make note of the colors I used (forehead slap). Sorry about that I will do my best to get that down in the future. (This is how we learn, right?)

  

  QUICK TIP: When placing multiple items on a card it can be useful to lay all the elements out the way you want them before glueing anything down and ALSO taking a quick pic once you get it all how you want it so you don’t have to try to remember what you just did. (Learn from me people!) 

  

  I wanted them all to be peeking out of something so I used an Avery Elle die I had in my stash that put a hole in the center for me. Used paper from Bo Bunny’s Natural Necessities paper pad and got everything adhered down with some liquid glue. Dotted their eyes and the koala’s nose with a black glaze pen to make them shiny. So excited to use Scrapping For Less’ “hooray” die at the bottom of the card as a big sentiment! Then stamped the “Let’s Party” which came in the Avery Elle Peek-A-Boo Pals stamp set in Versafine black onyx ink. This stamp set was a lot of fun and I really liked having their little paws to place separately.

  Thank you so much for stopping in and checking out this card! I hope you take some time for yourself and get crafty.

   

  Keep on crafting,

  Kim 🙂
