  Hello Everyone! Today I finished up Collection 3 from the April Flavor of the Month Card Kit! For 2 of these cards I was inspired by fellow design team member Stacy!
  
  Card 1
  
  I cut down the yellow pattern paper for my main panel and grabbed 2 scraps to line on the bottom. I stamped the image out and die cut with a circle die. I saw that Stacy had use Distress Ink for this image on one of her cards and I LOVED the look so I did that here. I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then gathered the twine and tried to tie int he center for a messy bow and used Range Multi Matte Medium to adhere it to my card. As the card sat on my desk, I kept thinking I needed a little something more so I added the 3 enamel dots to the upper, right corner of the card.
  
  Card 2
  
  This card is VERY similar to card one. I didn’t have a long enough scrap for the bottom of the card so I used a stitched sentient die with a fishtail end. I popped the image up on foam adhesive and brought in more enamel dots .
  
  Card 3
  
  This card it nothing like how I imaged it would be when I started. I used a larger “scrap” to die cut the Camera with flowers die that was found in the banana split portion of the kit. I added that piece to some yellow pattern paper from the collection with liquid glue – and what a mess I made!! There was so much glue I either had to scrap the piece or figure out how to cover it up. I decided to press on and cover it up. I used Nuvo drops to basically “color” the piece. I used Nuvo Glitter Drops in Yellow Bird for the flower pieces, Nuvo Crystal Drops in Woodland Green for the leaves and the Camera piece I used Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard.
  
  Card 4
  
  This is the last card I made from this collection. I decided to try coloring the image with Copic Markers (these types of images are a little intimidating for me because I tend to be too heavy handed and my colors bleed so I tried to approach the coloring of this image by not trying so hard – and I think it worked.) I used up most of the left over pieces of pattern paper and also added the last 2 enamel dots I received in this collection.
  
  The process video can be found HERE at the the SFL YouTube Channel.
  
  The April 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit is sold out however the paper pads from the kit are available for individual sale (or if you just NEED MORE!?)

- City Streets and Country Roads Card Kit ~ Flowery Camera Die

  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie sharing another sweet card using the fabulous Flowery Camera die by Scrapping for Less from the City Streets and Country Roads card kit!! I just adore this die… I colored the die cuts for my sneak peek card before the reveal of the kit. That was so much fun!! You can check that card out here —> my Sneak Peek card!
  
  This time I wanted to piece the die back together using different papers… just like a puzzle! I don’t know about you, but I love puzzles and piecing these die pieces back together was so much fun! And I have all kinds of pieces leftover to make more cards with!! I started by die cutting Chocolate card stock for my die base. I adhered that to a piece of copy paper and then fussy cut it out.
  
  Then I die cut the Flowery Camera from three different papers in the Country Roads paper pack and adhered all of those pieces to my Chocolate camera. Isn’t it just so pretty?! I love how it turned out! Now if you didn’t snatch up one of these fabulous card kits while you had the chance, be sure to check out the A La Carte section of the website… you can still purchase the gorgeous papers and some of the other products in the kit!!
  
  Did you see the little extra glittery goodness I added to my card? These gorgeous glittery papers by DCWV are available in the A La Carte section of the shop AND they make such a great addition to the card kit!! I really loved the Mojo Monday sketch that the design team used for our hop and reveal so I decided to use it again for this card. You can check out the sketches that the DT used here —> April 2020 Sketch Sheet. I trimmed all of my paper layers and adhered them to a Chocolate card stock card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I wrapped a piece of Natural Twine from the Country Roads Collection around those paper layers and tied off a knot. I then adhered the panel to a white card base from my stash. I popped up the stitched arch that I die cut from the text papers and then adhered the die cut Flowery Camera directly to it.
  
  I think it turned out lovely!! I decided not to add a sentiment at this point because I’m just not sure what occasion I’m going to use it for. Do you ever do that with your cards?
  
  I hope I’ve inspired you to pull out your City Streets and Country Roads card kit and get some inky time in… or maybe some paper piecing time since I didn’t actually get inky with this card! Lol!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- April 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ One Last Sneak Peek!

  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie and I am sharing the last sneak peek of the absolutely amazing City Streets and Country Roads Card Kit that releases tonight!!! Eeep! You are going to love this kit!! It is seriously gorgeous… and amazing!!
  
  I seriously LOVE each of the collections this month… Gorgeous!! But the Banana Split subscription this month has that extra bit of crafty goodness that just tops the cake!! How absolutely stunning is that camera with the dainty flowers and leaves…?!? I just HAD to use it for my sneak peek! I die cut it from the Neenah 110 lb. Classic Crest Smooth Solar White card stock included in the kit and colored it using copic markers that coordinated with the gorgeous papers included in the Country Roads collection:
  
  Flowers ~ R0000, R14, R56
  
  Leaves ~ Y11, Y13, Y15, E41, YG91, YG93
  
  Camera ~ N0, N2, N4, N6
  
  I colored most of the pieces while keeping the die cuts intact, but some of the camera pieces were so small I took them out and colored them. I then adhered the entire die cut piece to a piece of white copy paper and fussy cut it around the edges.
  
  I trimmed the beautiful patterned papers and adhered them together. I then wrapped a pretty yellow ribbon from another collection around the layers and adhered the panel to a white card base from my stash. I then die cut a piece of white card stock with the Stitched Arch STAX die… adding this piece helped the gorgeous camera to pop on the card. I stamped the empowering sentiment from Your Best Life stamp set in Collection Two with VersaFine Onyx Black Pigment Ink and die cut it with a banner die. I added a tiny piece of patterned paper to the edge of that sentiment and then popped it up on the card. To finish off the card, I added a few of the black sequins included in the Banana Split subscription. So… I used three of the collections and a couple of elements from the Banana Split to make this beautiful card!! I am telling you this kit is A MUST HAVE!!! Go subscribe here —> City Streets and Country Roads Card Kit!!
  
  Be sure to come back tonight at midnight EST to check out the reveal of the card kit and to hop with us as the design team shares all kinds of amazing inspiration!!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky hugs,
  
  Crystal
