• Fall is Coming at Scrapping For Less!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Oct 5th

  Hi all! I hope you are finding yourself easing into a wonderful weekend. I am up today with a couple of cards I made with September’s Flavor of the Month Kit. I was so excited to get my hands on this kit and I had to MAKE myself step away from it because you know, life.

  As soon as I opened my kit I dug into the Frightful Collection. I LOVE HALLOWEEN! I wish it was a tradition to send Halloween cards to friends and family like it is to send Christmas cards because Halloween cards are so much fun to make. This card came together so quickly with the cute little die cut characters included in the collection. I had such a hard time choosing which one to use, then I had a group and then I let the sketch dictate who made it on the card. For the card below I used the Paper Play Sketches #52.

  

  The next card is from the Cozy Fall Collection. I pulled the paper out and looked it over and immediately I wanted to paper piece that sweater stamp…and then I realized that wasn’t going to work because it is a stamp stamp. Then I thought..ooh yes I can so I traced the stamp and paper pieced it anyway. I love it when what you see in your head works out! Sketch #194 from Operation Write Home was the one used for the card below.     Often when card making I find myself always reaching for the same ink to stamp a sentiment but this time I reached for blue ink and I knew it had been too long since I had changed things up because of the level of excitement I felt at using another color.

  I am looking forward to digging into the other two collections which I’ll post those cards on my instagram account at @cardmakingblonde. Below will be the links to the Double Dip and Banana Split kits which are down into the single digits so get one while you can!

  

  

  Thanks so much for stopping in and checking out September’s Flavor of the Month Kit “Fall is Coming!” and have a great weekend!

  Kim 🙂

  September 2019 FOTM ~ Fall is Coming ~ Card Inspiration

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Oct 4th

  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with some inspiration using the September 2019 Flavor of the Month Card Kit called Fall is Coming!! I am so happy that I finally have this beautiful kit in my inky hands!!

  I’m sure that you have heard of the delays in the Design Team receiving the kits this month and mine was even more delayed because my family was on our annual Fall vacation. I got home late on Wednesday and was hoping to play with the card kit but there was yet another delay… a mix up with the post office and our held mail was not delivered. I finally received it yesterday and was able to get a couple cards made so let’s have a look, shall we?!

  

  Knowing that my time was limited to get my DT post up and ready for the morning, I decided to focus on the wonderful Color In Cut A-parts by Photo Play that are included in Collection Four. I colored in the first Cut A-part using the following Copic markers ~ Y11, Y15, Y17, Y35, YR15, YR21, YR68, R14, R29, R59. I just adore this image!! 

  

  I trimmed down the Cut A-part and set it aside. I cut my layers for the card and adhered them to the Chocolate Brown card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I ran a piece of Tangy Orange card stock through my Big Shot with the Eyelet Elegance Rectangle die by Gina Marie Designs. I adhered the Cut A-part panel to the orange die cut piece and popped up the entire panel on the card with foam tape. To finish off the card I added a few of the gorgeous enamel dots also from Gina Marie Designs that are included in Collection Four.

  

  Since I had the Cut A-parts on my desk and the Copic Markers, I decided to make another card with a similar design. I love how fast I was able to make these cards using these wonderful Cut A-parts!! I hope that you’ve enjoyed my cards and that I’ve inspired you to use these Cut A-parts from your kit.

  And if you haven’t yet seen this month’s wonderful card kit, here’s a look at the Double Dip Subscription… 

  

  … and the Banana Split Subscription… 

  

  Go purchase your card kit before they are all gone —> September 2019 Fall is Coming card kit!

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

  Inky Hugs,

  Fall Blessings with Fall Arrangement from Stampendous

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Sep 21st

  Hi Everybody!

  Kim here today with a quick card and an image that does all the heavy lifting for you! I used the Fall Arrangement stamp from Stampendous and created a card a bit smaller than a typical A2 size. When I added the card to my card front there was some empty space left at the top that I wasn’t crazy about so I decided to make the card itself smaller.

  

  I really love this arrangement the flowers and the pumpkin are just so pretty that once I added the sentiment I didn’t feel it needed anything else and couldn’t believe how quickly this card came together for me. I am also toying with the idea of coloring this same image on Kraft cardstock, I think that will be really pretty as well.

  

  This entry is short and simple but also was the making of this card and sometimes that is exactly what we need, just a few minutes to push the world away and make something pretty! I hope you get the chance to make something or do something that you enjoy today. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great rest of your weekend!

  Keep on crafting,

  Kim 🙂

  Fall Kiddos with Sunny Studios!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Sep 14th

  Happy Fall!

  Fall is my favorite season! Living in Florida it’s not because of the weather, although if you’ve lived in Florida long enough you do notice a change in the air but it just doesn’t qualify as a season for us. What I love about Fall are the decorations, the colors, the changing leaves (pictures mostly), the flavors and for me personally the reminder that the holidays are on the way.

  While making this card I remember being downright giddy because when it comes to kid’s clothing ALL colors come in to play! Bright, fun, funky and I was so excited to get to work on these images. Recently when it’s time to color people images I make a concerted effort to not make them all the same. I am intimidated when it comes to coloring different ethnicities but I have a big desire to do so. That of course means practice, practice, practice and being brave when choosing colors I may not be used to blending. So I held my breath just a bit and stepped out of my comfort zone and I am so glad I did!

  I love this Fall Kiddos stamp set from Sunny Studio, this is the second card and post I am doing with this set, really great images! These kids look like they are just having the most fun day and exude happiness. I cannot wait to send this card to someone I love. I’ve been a bit chatty in this post so I will give you a quick run down for what I did with this card:

  

  • stamped images from Sunny Studio Stamps Fall Kiddos in Gina K Designs amalgam black ink
  • colored images in with Copic markers
  • used Doodlebug Design Flea Market 6×6 paper pad for background. The flowered pattern is 5 1/4″ x 3 1/2″, the cloud paper is 5 1/4″ x 1 1/2″, and the 2 strips of orange paper with the leaves pattern on it is 5 1/4″ x 1/2″, the card base I put it on and what became the frame for this little scene is 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored and folded at 5 1/2″ to create this landscape card
  • stamped sentiment from Sunny Studio Stamps Fall Kiddos in Versafine black onyx ink then put clear embossing powder on it and set it with a heat gun
  • adhered everything down with Lawn Fawn Glue Tube 

  Thank you so much for visiting today and I hope you get to do something that makes you happy today!

  Keep on crafting,

  Kim 🙂

  Stamping Bella ~ Tumbleblossom Cluster

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Sep 13th

  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a wonderful watercolor card using a medium that I don’t use often enough and that is Distress Crayons! It has been a long time since I’ve used my distress crayons and actually, it’s been a good long while since I’ve watercolored so I thought why not do it now! 

  

  So to start, I stamped the gorgeous Tumbleblossoms Cluster stamp by Stamping Bella four times over a 4-1/2 x 5-1/2″ piece of Canson XL watercolor paper with VersaMark watermark ink and then heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I then scribbled Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Festive Berries, Fired Brick, Peeled Paint, and Walnut Stain Distress Crayons on my Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat. I was then able to use my watercolor pen and grab the pigment with my pen and watercolor the panel. I had so much fun!

  

   I started with the lightest color (Mustard Seed) and actually colored a bunch of the flowers with just that color and then I went back in with the Spiced Marmalade and the Festive Berries to add some rich, darker tones that felt more Fall-ish to me. I used the Walnut Stain to color in the open spaces and I just love the way it makes the flowers pop on the panel. To finish off the panel I added some white gel pen to the tiny little flowers and berries. Once I was done watercoloring, I die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and then mat it with a gorgeous reddish orange card stock that I found in my stash. Now the Tumbleblossoms Cluster stamp set doesn’t have a sentiment so I dug through some of my Fall stamps and found a gem… the Teresa Talks Fall stamp set!! I love this set and the “fall greetings” sentiment was absolutely perfect for this card! I stamped the sentiment on that same card stock with VersaMark watermark ink and I embossed it with a fine white embossing powder. I trimmed it down and then popped up the sentiment. My first thought when finishing up this card was to find a neutral card base… maybe white or kraft (my go to’s!!) but then I got to thinking… I really want that Mustard Seed yellow to pop on this card so I dug through my stash of card stock and found this perfect yellow card stock. Bam! It was perfect! I trimmed it down to a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ piece and then adhered that to a white card base.

  

  Surprise! I was able to make another simple card using the leftover panel. I used the same yellow and reddish orange card stocks from my stash (both are from past card kits… I’m honestly not sure which colors though) and then I added a strip of some kraft card stock that was also in my stash and had just enough left over for a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ piece for my card front. I then adhered it to a white card base. To finish this one off, I just stamped and heat embossed the same sentiment. Done!

  

  Here’s a picture of both cards using the one watercolored panel. I have another small piece left over from the panel that I’ll set aside and I hope to use it on another project. I had so much fun making these cards to share with you today! I hope you’re inspired to pull out those neglected mediums in your crafty stash and get some fun crafty time!! 

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

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  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 🙂

  Photo Play ~ Fall Breeze ~ So Thankful for You

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Sep 6th

  Hello there crafty friends!! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a Fall themed card!! I am so excited for Fall… I love all things Fall!! Particularly, the cooler weather… I’m way over the hot days of Summer!! I’d much rather have a warm cup of coffee while cozying up with a blanket while reading, so it almost felt cooler just making this card while dreaming of those days ahead.

  

  How sweet is that little fox?! He looks so snug all nestled up with those pumpkins amidst the wreath of leaves. I love making wreaths and I just love how this one came together with the fox included.

  I stamped all of the leaves, pumpkins and the fox from the Fall Breeze stamp set by Photo Play on white card stock and then colored them all in with the following Copic markers:

  Leaves ~ Y000, Y06, Y17, Y35, E23, E25, E27, R000, R11, R14, R27, YR15, YR21, YR68

  Pumpkins ~ YR15, YR21, YR27, YR68, E23, E27

  Fox ~ E000, E37, E95, E97, E99

  

  I fussy cut each of those leaves… oy was that something! But definitely worth the effort! I also fussy cut the pumpkins and the fox. I went over the edges of the colored images with my Memento tuxedo black marker and then started laying out my wreath. It wasn’t working quite right so I decided to die cut a wreath base using a Wreath die by Gina Marie Designs. Once I had that as my base I was able to lay out the leaves just right.

  

  I adhered all of the pieces to the wreath and set it aside to dry. I then pulled out a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ piece of black card stock from my stash and blended some Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink in the upper center portion of the card stock for a night sky. I then die cut a circle in a post it note for a mask and masked the black portion of my card stock. I splattered some watered down white acrylic paint for my stars in my night sky. I set that aside to dry and added foam squares to the wreath.

  

  I got excited and popped up that wreath on the card before stamping my sentiment but it worked out since I used my stamp platform to stamp the sentiment with VersaMark watermark ink (which I did twice to ensure it was stamped well) and then heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. To finish off the card, I tied a double bow of jute twine and then adhered it with some Multi Medium Matte.

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

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  Fall and Critters with Lawn Fawn

  Posted at 7:00 am by infoscrappingforless

  Sep 5th

  Teresa here jumping for joy because fall is right around the corner. Although I don’t live in an area where we experience fall, I do love several aspects of fall, pumpkin spice, falling leaves, and cute fall critters on cards.

  I had quite a few mess ups on this card but I kept plugging through cause I was sure it would turn out okay in the end. I really like how it did turn out.

  

  

  Thanks for stopping by today,

  Witch Way Is the Candy? from MFT and Knit Picky Fall from Lawn Fawn

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Sep 4th

  

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a card using the “Witch Way Is the Candy” stamp set from My Favorite Things.

  Be sure to check out the video HERE!

  I stamped the images with an alcohol marker friendly ink and colored them with Copic markers. Then I used my Scan N Cut DX 125 to cut the images out.

  This is an A2 or 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inch card. I used the Knit Picky Fall Paper Pad, found a piece I liked and cut it down to 4 X 5 1/4 inches for the front panel. I cut an oval out of the center with a die to create a frame.

  I used Sticko “Autumn Pumpkin” and SandyLion “Tree With Leaves” stickers to create a scene. I popped up the images with foam tape to finish off the card.
