    • Balloon Ride

      Hello there!

      Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde bringing you a card made using one of the cutest encouraging stamp sets I’ve ever used! “Balloon Ride” from Paperie Ink has several critters to choose from and enough hot air balloons to do a little balloon like I did or to do an entire scene.

      Here’s how this card came together:

      • stamped image in Gina K black amalgam ink on Neenah Crest 110lb white cardstock
      • colored images in with Arteza alcohol markers
      • chose patterned paper from the SFL paper pad “Monkey Around”
      • stamped sentiment out in black onyx VersaFine ink
      • used a sentiment strip die to cut out the stamped sentiment
      • added some extra embellishments with Pink & Main’s Glossy Hearts: Gold

      I really enjoyed using this stamp set, I always know I have my hands on a good stamp set when as I am working with it for one card I already begin thinking of what I want to do with it for my next card.

      Thank you for joining me today on the blog and taking a closer look at Paperie Ink’s “Balloon Ride.” I hope you get any encouragement you may be needing today and also take a minute to encourage another.

      Keep on creating,

      Kim 🙂

      Hello crafters, so glad you are here!

      There are times that life just gets in the way…recently my hubby and I bought a house and moved. Three weeks ago to be exact and as it so often does, my craft room was the last room in the house to get any attention. Not for lack of love, that’s for sure but no matter what is going on in life we all have to eat, bathe (hopefully frequently, ha!) and sleep so my craft room is still in disarray.

      I tell you all of this to make a point…I was able to grab my kit and a few minimal supplies: stamp tool, trimmer, liquid glue and scissors and still come up with a super cute card to give a friend in need of encouragement. Hopefully this little story will encourage you to make some time for yourself even if your supplies are minimal and life is taking over your space and your time.

      July’s Flavor of the Month kit sold out (yay!). If you would like to ensure that you get next month’s kit sign up for a subscription that way you won’t miss a thing!

      Thanks so much for coming to the blog today, I hope you find some time for yourself and get to do that thing you love doing!

      Just keep creating,

      Kim 🙂

      Hello friends! Thanks for stopping in today and checking out the SFL blog. Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde with a few more cards from the Easy Peasy collection. May’s Flavor of the Month Card Kit is all about encouragement. This collection is a sweet way to say Hello, Hang in There, Thinking of

      You etc.

       

      Here’s what I have come up with AND I still have enough papers and goodies to make a few more cards that I will share on Instagram:

      sflblog06102020sflblog06102020bsflblog06102020c

      The papers in this kit are just beautiful and I had a hard time choosing which side of the paper I wanted to use! Don’t forget that the best way to ensure you will get your card kit is to subscribe but if you want to see what you are getting the release is the last Saturday of the month. So if you make sure to come to take a peek as soon as it reveals you’ll probably be okay to order a one-time kit…probably 😉 .

      Thanks again for spending a bit of time with me today and I hope you get to do some crafting of your own!

      Just keep creating,

      Kim 🙂

      Hello Cardmakers! I hope you are doing well this morning.

      This month’s theme is all about encouragement.

      How about taking one of the words in the acronym above and making it your word for the coming month? My word is going to be motivation! Motivation to send out at least 3 cards a week to encourage someone.

      The design team and guest designers this month have created some absolutely fabulous designs with the card kit contents. Hop on through and take a look. One person I know who encourages people each and every day is Courtney Kreeber, she has helped design components of this month’s kit. Her group Handmade Happiness over on Facebook is all about encouraging each other.

      Who have you encouraged today? Check out this wonderful card kit centered around encouragement over on the Scrapping for Less website. Also check out the SFL blog post and make sure to enter the Rafflecopter.

    • Day 3 of Sneak Peeks for the new May Flavor of the Month Card Kit by Scrapping for Less

      Posted at 7:00 am by Stacy Tiedemann
      May 26th

      Hello, it’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up on the Scrapping for Less Blog today with two projects I made with products from Collection 4 of the soon to be released Flavor of the Month Card Kit.

      First up I made a checkbook cover. I like to be able to customize my stuff so I thought this was a fun idea. You can get the clear checkbook covers on Amazon HERE.

      Next I covered a notepad I had purchased at Dollar Tree. You can purchase the notepads HERE. The notepads measure 4″ x 6″.

      If you’d like to make sure you reserve one of these kits in your name (last month they sold out right away) then you’ll want to sign up for a monthly subscription (plus it saves you extra money over the one time purchase price). This kit is absolutely adorable! I am so in love with the papers and stamp sets in this kit.

      Click on the Flavor of the Month Card Kit icon to take you to the subscription sign up page.

      Thanks for visiting,

      Hello my fellow crafters! Happy New Year!

      What better way to ring in the new year than by introducing an all new release from SFL! I created today’s card using the Winter Fairies stamp set, the Fairy House stamp set and Winter in Pink paper pad. These items work perfectly together or separately whatever you are wanting to create whether it be a birthday card, encouragement or just general well wishes these elements will help get you there.

      I know I love it when a collection can work together and separately and SFL has made it easy for you to either choose the entire New Release bundle or just the individual pieces you want. This is a beautiful collection and I hope to be back soon with more creations to show off. I hope your 2020 is getting off to a great start and thank you for stopping in to check out this fantastic new release from SFL!

      Crafty wishes,

      Kim 🙂
