  Hey There Pumpkin ~ September 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Sneak Peek

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Sep 25th

  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with the last sneak peek of the September 2020 FOTM Card Kit before the reveal and hop that starts at midnight tonight!! This Fall loving girl is in love with this kit!! It’s so stinkin’ cute and just perfect for all your Fall cardmaking needs!! Enough chit chat… let’s get to the card I created!

  

  So… if you have followed my creative card making journey at all, you may know about my obsession with teal trucks. lol… I love them so! It’s really no surprise that I just had to frame this adorable paper and make it a feature of my card! I love it!

  

  I layered the two beautiful papers from Collection Four and adhered a stitched scallop frame that I die cut from white card stock. I stamped the Hey There Pumpkin stamp with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored it in with my Copic markers. I used the following Copic markers:

  ‘Hey There’ ~ E23

  ‘Pumpkin’ ~ BG01, BG10, BG45, BG57

  Pumpkin ~ YR15, YR21, YR27, YR68, E21, E23, E27

  I then fussy cut around the image and sentiment and then adhered it to a white stitched oval. I then popped that up on the card and finished it off with a few enamel dots. You can check out my process video below…

  

  I am just loving how this card turned out. It has me dreaming about cooler days with leaves changing colors and falling leaves. *sigh*  Do you love Fall too? Let me know in the comments what’s your favorite part of the Fall season.

  Don’t forget about the reveal and hop tonight at midnight, but be sure to snatch up your card kit before then!! You do not want to miss out on this one!!

  That’s it for me this week! I’ll see you next week with an adorable set of cards using Collection Two from the card kit!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  Sneak Peek Week: Thursday!

  Posted at 11:07 am by kimmyfsmithyahoocom

  Sep 24th

  Hello, hello!

  Kim here from @cardmakingblonde here today wishing you Fall Blessings!

  Here in Florida we have seen temps dipping into the 80’s so Fall has officially arrived! We joke about it but if you are either from here or if you’ve lived here long enough there really is a change in the feel and smell of the air that tells you Fall is here. I still wish we had the changing leaves but alas, you can’t have it all right?

  I’m thrilled to be sharing a sneak peek from SFL’s Flavor of the Month September 2020 card kit: Orchards and Patches. Using the stencil from the Banana Split ingredients and elements out of collection two: Apple Orchard Pickin’ I created the card below.

  

  Here’s the run down on how this card came together:

  -stenciled the apples with distress oxide inks using a sponge dauber for the apple and cotton swabs for the leaf and twig

  -held stencil and paper together with Wendy Vecchi MAKE ART Stay-tion-All-In-One Magnetic Surface (I LOVE this tool and find myself using stencils more frequently now that I have it.)

  

  -used Bristol Smooth paper which the Distress Oxide inks go on like a dream

  -created a background with the apples then used an aqua shimmer pen by Nuvo to add some glimmer

  -the sentiment in the center is from the paper in the Apple Orchard Pickin’ collection, there is a sheet of cut aparts

  -popped that sentiment up with foam adhesive

  -used the twine also included in the collection to wrap around the card and add a bow before gluing the panel down to the card base

  There will be one more sneak peek tomorrow and then the BLOG HOP! I look forward to seeing what the rest of the design team came up with. You have two ways to get your Flavor of the Month card kit.

  1. Sign up for a subscription now so you don’t have to worry about a sell out
  2. Wait for the kit to reveal at midnight EST on September 26th and grab a one time purchase (this one is a little risky but no judgement if you enjoy living on the edge a little ha, ha!)

  Thank you so much for joining me here on the blog today for this sneak peek! I look forward to seeing you at the hop and hope you are enjoying a nice Fall so far!

  Just keep creating,

  Kim 🙂

  Mad 4 Plaid Thanksgiving Card

  Posted at 11:00 am by Luci Manos

  Nov 6th

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a sweet Thanksgiving card using PhotoPlay Mad 4 Plaid Fall Stamp Set, Darice Sticky Gold Glitter Paper, and Lawn Fawn Knock on Wood Paper Pad.

  You can check out my process video HERE!

  

  This is an A2 size card or 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inches.  I used a dark brown card base from my stash.  I stamped the leaves on the back of the glitter paper and scanned through my Scan N Cut, then I flipped the glitter paper over so the glitter side was facing up and let the machine cut out the images.  I stamped the images of the fox and acorn from the stamp set and colored them with Copic markers (colors in the photo below).  I didn’t color the leaf of the acorn because I stamped that on the back of the Glitter paper and cut it too.

  Once I finished up the images I used the Lawn Fawn Knock on Wood Paper Pad and cut the back panel in orange to 4 X 5 1.4 inches.  The turquoise colored piece was 4 X 3/4 inches.  The used dies from a Karen Burniston set to cut the yellow background piece and the light brown scalloped edge piece of pattern paper and layered all the pieces onto the card.

  I stamped the sentiment on the top of the top panel of the card, adhered the acorn and used foam tape on the fox and placed it on the card.

  That’s it!  Easy Peasy!

• 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!

  Be on the lookout for more inspiration using the fabulous September 2019 Fall is Coming card kit!! I will have a couple more cards to share next week on my blog… Tawny Owl Paperie and also on my Instagram <— click on the links and be sure to follow me for more inspiration!!

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

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  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
