    • November 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Inky Embossed Backgrounds

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Nov 27th
      Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a little more inspiration using the November 2020 FOTM Card Kit Simply Sentimental. I had a fun idea for a quick card while creating my cards for the hop and reveal so I gave it a quick try… Loved it!! So I decided to make three more cards using the same techniques and they really were quick!
      My first original card… I started with a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ piece of Pink Lemonade card stock. I inked up the de-bossed side {the side that indents) of the Hearts Embossing folder with Sweet Blush dye ink from Papertrey Ink. I then ran the embossing folder through my big shot… now when I did this the card stock jumped a bit {my plate is really bowed in the center… I keep flipping it over but I think it’s time to replace the plate} and that’s why the bottom portion of the card looks blurry… almost 3D.
      Anywho, I do love the texture that this technique gives to the card!! I trimmed down the card front to 4 x 5-1/4″ and adhered it to a Kraft card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I then wrapped the card front with the beautiful ribbon that I received in the Banana Split goodies! With a separate piece of ribbon I tied a bow and I adhered it with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment from the Thanks So Much stamp set found in Collection Two with Classic Kraft ink from Papertrey Ink. I masked the little heart in the sentiment… I thought it would be fun to use a little heart punch from my stash to add a little interest to the sentiment. I finished off this card with a few sequins, also from the Banana Split subscription.
      My second card… I used the very same technique for this card and the next two. For this one I used Picket Fence Distress Ink in the embossing folder and the Razzleberry card stock from the card kit.
      I also used Raspberry Fizz dye ink from Papertrey Ink to darken the raised hearts and also for the heart at the end of the sentiment.
      For card #3… I used Mint Julep dye ink. Isn’t it beautiful!
      This one just might be my favorite of them all!
      And the last card… I used Melon Berry dye ink. It has almost a wood grain feel for this one with the colors and also the texture in the background.
      And I changed things up with this one and used a different thank you sentiment from the same stamp set. I like how it changes up the design of the card.
      I do have a video sharing the process in making the last three cards and finishing up the first card with the sentiment.
      You can check that out… here!

      A look at all four cards! Which one is your favorite?! I’d love to know… if you have a minute, please share in the comments. Well, that’s it for me this time!
      Thanks so much for stopping by!
      See ya next time.
      Inky Hugs,
      Crystal

    • Wildflowers from the November Flavor of the Month Card Kit

      Nov 24th

      Hello, it’s Stacy from CraftaholicMomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a card and decorated notepad using the Wildflower Collection #4 from the brand new November Flavor of the Month Card Kit themed “Simply Sentimental”.

      A while back I purchased several of these notepads from The Dollar Tree to decorate and give away as gifts for friends, family and teacher, etc. You’ve seen me decorate them before in past blog posts. I’ll link those posts below.

      The notepad measures 4″x6″ so a sheet of pattern paper fits perfectly. I used two sheets of paper (and a couple of scraps) to decorate my notepad and make a matching card.

      The card is a 4 1/4″ square card. I punched the flower and leaves from punches I had in my stash.

      The card kits will be shipping this week and next so I hope I was able to provide some inspiration.

      Thanks for visiting,

      Nov 19th

      Hey there crafty friends!

      Kim here from @CardmakingBlonde I have been looking forward to sharing this card with you all! This kit is filled with gorgeous patterned paper, cute images and sweet sentiments.

      Here’s how this card came together:

      • used watercolor paper, the embossing folder that’s in the Banana Split card kit & distress oxide inks to create the heart paper
      • embossed the sentiment in sparkle embossing powder then cut it out with a sentiment strip die
      • popped up the sentiment on the edges to keep it level since this card has three layers

      Don’t forget to join us this weekend for the blog hop to reveal November’s Flavor of the Month Card Kit. This is the last kit that SFL will be putting out and trust me you do NOT want to miss it! The card kit goes live on November 21st at midnight Eastern. Thank you for joining me today on the blog and I look forward to reading your comments during the hop.

      Keep on creating,

      Kim 🙂

      Hello, it’s Stacy from CraftaholicMomma up today with Day 4 Sneak Peek of the new November Flavor of the Month Card Kit that will be revealed this Saturday, November 21st at 12:00am EST.

      We hope that you’ll join us for this last card kit reveal. I am going to miss Scrapping for Less! However I am super excited for Teresa as she continues her journey into true retirement. Her family is so very important to her and I’m so happy that she’ll now be able to devote all of her time to her family.

      Today, I used Collection 1 of the kit. I used the banner die that comes in the Banana Split goodie pack to create a shaker card. With the left over scraps I made a coordinating gift tag.

    • Sneak Peek! November Flavor of the Month Card Kit!

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Nov 16th

      Happy Monday Everyone! Today I’m sharing a sneak peek from Collection 3 from the November 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit!

      I think this sentiment is sweet and funny and I it describes my family perfectly! I loved the bright pink found in this collection so I used the pink card stock found in the kit for my card base and mat on the middle piece of pattern paper. The stripped pattern paper was a nice break from all the pink. For my sentiment piece, I used a mini scallop circle die to cut the mat my sentiment is on from the main pattern paper. I stamped the sentiment with a matching pink ink. I finished my card with enamel dots and paper flowers, both found in this collection.

      Thanks so much for stopping by, and stay tuned all week for more sneak peeks!!

    • Fall Inspired Create-a-Dex Cards ~ Sweater Weather

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Nov 13th
      Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple Fall inspired Memory Dex cards using the newly released Scallop Flower Create-a-Dex die set from Scrapping for Less along with a few other fun products from the shop!
      How cute are these?! I used the pretty Always Changing papers for these sweet Memory Dex cards with the Autumn Blessings die and the Sweater Weather stamp set. Now, I’ve shared a few different cards using the Autumn Blessings die… I love the beautiful font in this die!! Check out my Cozy Fall card, my Let’s Bundle Up card, and my Fall is Coming card for more inspiration with these products.
      A closer look at the Fall Sweet Fall memory dex card… I love the colors in these papers! I used the following copic markers on this card ~ YG03, YR12, YR16, BG0000, BG01, BG11, BG23.
      I have a little video sharing the coloring and assembling of this card. You can check that out here…

      And a closer look at my second memory dex card using the Autumn Blessings die and I created a pretty Fall flower using the stitched flower that’s included in the Scallop Flower Create-a-Dex die set. I die cut the flower three times and using my bone folder I rounded the petals a bit. The brad that I added in the center of the flower is from my stash… I’m actually not sure where it’s from.
      I finished off the memory dex card with a few orange enamel dots from Carta Bella’s Fall Break collection. I just love how these turned out!! That’s it for me this week… I’ll see you next week with my sneak peek for the November FOTM card kit!!
      Thanks so much for stopping by!
      See ya next time.
      Inky hugs,
      Crystal

      Hey there crafters!

      Kim here from @CardmakingBlonde showing off a super fun paper pad and stamp set. “Australian Christmas” by SFL has the perfect patterns for the “Surfin’ Santa” from Sunny Studio Stamps. They really go together well!

      While making the first card I was on such a roll that I went ahead and just kept going so here’s another card with a lot of the same ingredients but a whole different look!

      Also don’t forget…

      Thank you so much for joining me on the blog today, I hope you will get a chance to do something fun and crafty!

      Keep on creating,

      Kim 🙂
