  Hello, hello!
  
  Kim here from @CardmakingBlonde sharing with you what just may be one of the most elegant Christmas cards I have made this year! Now I love heat embossing and the SFL “Ornamental Christmas” stamp set perfectly lends itself to be heat embossed. Once I got the ornament and the sentiment embossed onto the card I pierced the paper inside the bulb’s hook and strung some gold thread through it. Layered the card with gold glitter paper then the last touch was adding glitter gold Nuvo drops in random dots around the card.
  
  I am so happy with how this card turned out! It’s sparkly and elegant, I am so looking forward to giving this card away! Thanks so much for joining me on the blog today. I hope you are getting into the Holiday Spirit we could all use a little more happy this year! Tis’ the Season!!!
  
  Keep on creating,
  
  Kim 🙂

  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 🙂

- An Ornamental Christmas by SFL

  Dec 19th
  
  Hello and Happy Holidays!
  
  I hope you all are enjoying this season of merry making and have had some time for yourselves as well. I know this time of year can get hectic and sometimes overwhelming so I’m glad you have taken a break and joined me here for a little inspiration (I hope). I am still making Christmas cards for friends and family and haven’t been able to get my fill of November’s Flavor of the Month card kit. This is the most recent card I have made from this kit.
  
  Quick Tip: When embossing on watercolor paper tape it down to your surface first (I used a small cutting board so I can hold onto it easier and move it around easier) this will keep your paper from bowing up on you.
  
  I have been wanting to watercolor an image for some time now and thought this ornament would be perfect. Before I began watercoloring I stamped the image in black ink then again in Versamark and embossed it with clear embossing powder which gave me “guidelines” if you will while I was painting. The gold didn’t show up as sparkly in the picture as it does it real life unfortunately but you still get the idea. I pulled pieces from the different collections in the November Flavor of the Month kit. I glued the strand of pearls as a frame around the colored image with Multi Medium Matte it held it well, dried clear and didn’t take very long to dry either. Used WOW embossing powder to add the sentiment that comes with An Ornamental Christmas stamp set, I am smitten with that font and the leafy sprigs!
  
  That is it for me and this card I think it came out lovely and I enjoyed making it which that is why we do this after all right? Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
  
  Me and the hubs merry making with The Mouse! 🙂

- Christmas Card with Christmas Baubles
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Nov 7th
  
  Hello hello! Kim here bringing you a card I made with an elegant die from Find It Trading, Christmas Baubles. This delicate die cuts out very nicely, a little tip though if you do like I did and use glitter paper also use a shim it’ll give you a smoother cut. The glitter paper I used is self adhesive which makes it even more user friendly in my opinion. I used silver glitter paper and gold glitter paper because I thought they would really stand out against the red and I was very pleased with how it turned out.
  
  Now I like the baubles a whole lot but I definitely agree that they are not able to carry the whole card but I also wanted them to really stand out. I decided to use MFT’s Merry Christmas Greeting stamp and embossed it in white embossing powder. With this large sentiment offset it left a good amount of space for the Christmas Baubles to fit right in beside it. I adhered it all down to a card front with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and with all the glitteriness (not a real word I know) of the baubles I felt it was finished. Yay! One card down and oh so many more to go, good thing I love making Christmas cards right?
  
  Thanks so much for stopping in and checking out the blog today. I hope you get to do something for yourself.
  
  Keep on Crafting,
  
  Kim 🙂

- Winter Fun with A Gnome Winter by Picket Fence Studios
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Oct 30th
  
  Hi Everybody! Kim here and today I am using A Winter Gnome by Picket Fences which brings cuteness with just a face. I don’t know how they have managed to accomplish this but I’ll take it because this little gnome head is just adorable and without even seeing his eyes he screams Winter! I knew when I pulled this stamp set out to play with…er I mean work with it that I definitely wanted to use Kraft cardstock. I also wanted his beard to be very white and I thought the Kraft cardstock would work well for this. Originally I was going to adhere the naked trees down on top of Kraft paper but while making another card with Carta Bella’s Christmas 6×6 paper pad the snowflakes on top of woodgrain sheet caught my eye and I thought those trees would look perfect on top of that paper instead.
  
  I heat embossed the image on Kraft cardstock with detailed white embossing powder after stamping the image with Versa Mark ink. Blues of course work for winter, I was going for an ombre effect so I started with Navy and worked up with lighter blues by section. Coloring with Derwent Inktense pencils I guess I just forgot that they don’t resist water in any way and thought I could wipe the color off the white embossed areas with a baby wipe but that did NOT work the way it did in my head. So I ended up fussy cutting the image out and using a label punch to punch out the sentiment.
  
  Instead of the white embossing powder which I had already embossed by the way resisting the blue it looks like it just absorbed it. Not what I was going for but it certainly became what I was going with (insert wink emoji here). After adding some sequins with Multi Medium Matte I then used a white Signo pen to trace over some of the details in the gnome’s hat to make them look whiter. I also decided that his beard needed some of that white Signo pen treatment as well. All in all I am happy with this card and per usual seeing about a dozen other ways I would like to use this stamp set.
  
  Thank you so much for checking out the blog today, I hope you take some time for yourself and get crafty.
  
  Keep on crafting,
  
  Kim 🙂

  Hi Everyone! Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a card using the “Heart and Soul” stamp set from PinkFresh Studios.
  
  Be sure to check out the video HERE!
  
  These are both A2 or 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inch cards.
  
  I heat embossed with clear Embossing Powder the floral swag after stamping it with Clear Embossing Ink. I trimmed down the panels to 4 in. X 51/4 in. and used a pink card base and a yellow card base from my stash.
  
  I used Distress Oxides and blended them over the card panels. Then sprayed them with some water and blotted them off.
  
  I used sentiments from the set and VersaFine Onyx Black ink and Hero Arts Unicorn White Ink.
  
  For the embellishments, I used Nuvo Crystal Nuvo Drops and some iridescent clear sequins. Shimmer Spray that I make the video is HERE if you want to check it out.

- Playing with Fall Kiddos from Sunny Studios
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Sep 7th
  
  Hi All!
  
  Kim here with one of the sweetest stamp sets from Sunny Studio Stamps, Fall Kiddos. I had so much fun coloring up these little guys and gals. I stamped out all the images using Lawn Fawn ink in jet black which is alcohol marker friendly. Then I got busy coloring with my Copics.
  
  I wanted them to be playing outside so I got some Distress Oxide Inks in tumbled glass & salty ocean for the sky and mowed lawn and crushed olive for the grass. I wanted it to look as though it could be just the very early days of Fall and the summer is coming to a close.
  
  I really thought all of my characters were going to go on the card until I started putting everyone in place and realized that just wouldn’t work unless I made them stand on each other and they needed room to jump and throw leaves! I picked out a few for this card and set my other little kiddos aside for another time. Once I got knew where I wanted them to go I was able to position my sentiment which I then stamped in Versafine Ink black onyx, used clear embossing powder on and heat set. (I even remembered to use powder buddy so the embossing powder wouldn’t stick where I didn’t want it, go me!)
  
  It needed one more thing so I got out the fluffy cloud dies from Sunny Studio Stamps, cut out some clouds, inked them up just a bit with tumbled glass distress oxide ink and my sky came together. Added some bling with a Spectrum Noir sparkle marker in clear and adhered it to a card base using Lawn Fawn glue tube.
  
  I just love the sentiment on this card from the Fall Kiddos stamp set and completely agree that playing is NEVER wasted time.
  
  Thank you so much for stopping in and spending some time with us today. I hope you are able to find some time to play today.
  
  -Kim 🙂

- The Last Sneak Peek! August Flavor of the Month Card Kit
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Aug 30th
  
  It’s almost time!!! All week we over here at Scrapping For Less we have been getting wild with the Flavor of the Month card kit for August. I am so excited to see what everyone else has created and to see how all of you respond to this month’s kit!
  
  For the sneak peek I grabbed some ingredients from collection four and one of the stamps from that same collection. Added my favorite sentiment from the Banana Split Stamp set and the whole card came together.
  
  I colored the image in with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Markers, (I wish I could get the sparkle to show up in the pics as nicely as it does in real life!) except for the yellow color I used my Wink of Stella.
  
  As I was finishing up with glueing everything down with Lawn Fawn’s glue tube I realized that I had glued the entire card upside down. Gah! I kind of laughed at myself and then began to work on fixing it so I just trimmed off the edges and then glued the card front down to a new card correctly this time!
  
  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.
  
  My first attempt…
  
  I think it worked out for the best!

- SFL and Lawn Fawn… Wish Upon A Star
  
  Posted at 8:00 am by LeeAnn McKinney
  
  Jul 16th
  
  Greetings friends and fellow crafters, It’s LeeAnn with another post with Scrapping For Less. This time I have used the Lawn Fawn stamp set “Upon A Star” along with the Interactive Reveal Wheel Square Add On die set, Gold Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink and the PhotoPlay 6″x6″ paper pad Campfire & Lakeside.
  
  I really had so much fun with this project. I have had the reveal wheel since it first came out, and have not used it, just waiting for the right time, and this was exactly the project I was waiting for.
  
  First using white cardstock I cut the card base, the wheel heart frame and the little arrow. I cut the night sky panel using the square reveal wheel die, and heat embossed using Gold embossing powder the Wish and the Heart of Stars.
  
  I stamped and cut the two little critters and colored them with alcohol markers, and using some scraps from the paper pad decided to make the grassy panel and then a blanket for the critters to sit upon.
  
  After figuring out how I wanted the sentiment in the window I stamped the open stars, then Upon, closed stars then A Star and heat embossed them. It does appear I need to use a little more of that embossing buddy to get a cleaner embossing.
  
  I hope you have enjoyed this project as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.
  
  Have a great day and see ya back next week with my FOTM Sneak Peek project, and I had a lot of fun with it as well. Let me tell you, each month the kits are getting better and better and I am really excited about this one.
