- A Farmhouse Spring Card Kit ~ Hello Spring Collection
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Apr 3rd
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple more cards using the sweet Hello Spring collection from the A Farmhouse Spring card kit. The sweet bunny stamp in this collection is seriously becoming a favorite of mine! I could stamp it all day long!
  
  Isn’t it lovely in purple?! I did use my Stamp Platform and stamped it a couple of times with Winter Wisteria ink to get a nice crisp image. I kept the rest of the bunny white and decided to just die cut it with a circle die and kept that a nice clean white too. I love it!
  
  I trimmed a couple of the pretty patterned papers and adhered them to a Whipped Cream card front that was adhered to a white card base from my stash. I adhered another piece of Whipped Cream card stock that I had stamped the sentiment on, also with Winter Wisteria ink. To finish off this simple card, I added a few of the enamel dots from the collection.
  
  I have been loving the ephemera pieces included in the card kits lately and the pretty flowers in this one are just too lovely not to make the focus of this card. I trimmed down the border around the ephemera piece and then mat it with Grapesicle card stock. I then trimmed down some of the papers from the collection and mat them on Grapesicle card stock, as well. I adhered all of my layers to a white card base from my stash and then stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo black ink. I die cut it with a banner die and then trimmed it and adhered it to the flower ephemera piece. To finish off this card, I popped up the big flower ephemera piece and added a few of the enamel dots.
  
  I created these cards when I was playing around with my sneak peek ideas before the reveal of the card kit so I thought I would share all three cards together. If you’d like to check out my Sneak Peek card, you can do that here —> A Farmhouse Spring Card Kit Sneak Peek!
  
  I hope that I’ve inspired you with a few ways to get inky with the new card kit and I’ll be back next Friday with more inspiration using the wonderful Bloom Wildly collection.
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

  Here’s is my card using the Bloom Wildly collection of the A Farmhouse Spring card kit. I have been loving this simple sketch lately and couldn’t help but use it again with these beautiful papers.
  
  I used Tattered Rose Distress Oxide ink to stamp the sentiment and butterfly… it’s the perfect color to compliment the peach color in the papers! Love it!

- Fabulous Inspiration with the Glass Slipper Collection!!
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Mar 21st
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with more inspiration using the Glass Slippers Collection from the It’s All About the Girls card kit from Scrapping for Less! This is just one of the four fabulous collections included in this card kit and there are just a handful of card kits left so be sure to snatch yours up before they are gone!! I had so much fun with the pretty papers and the beautiful ephemera in this collection! Let’s get to the cards, shall we?!
  
  My first card uses a cut-a-part from the Glass Slippers patterned papers in the collection for the sentiment with a fun quote from Walt Disney. I thought it paired beautifully with the castle papers and the castle ephemera. I die cut a square window from the yellow leaf papers and also die cut the square scalloped window from the green paper. I trimmed down a piece of the castle paper just big enough to fit the scalloped window and adhered it to a 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ piece of Nightshift Blue card stock. I then adhered the patterned papers to the panel and tied some pretty white organdy ribbon from my stash around the panel and tied it off cutting the ends like a faux bow. I then adhered my panel to a white card base. I popped up the cut-a-part piece and the ephemera castle with foam squares. I really love the dimension that the window gives the card!
  
  My second card was a very quick way to finish off those scraps of pretty patterned paper. I pretty much finished off the Banana Split card stock with this one, too. I used the yellow card stock for my card front that I adhered to a white card base. I adhered a 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ piece of Nightshift Blue card stock to the card and then mat my patterned papers to some of the Banana Split card stock. I adhered those to the card and cut my flag (or banner) piece. I adhered the flag piece and realized I had forgotten to stamp the sentiment after popping up the flower ephemera piece with foam squares so I decided to stamp the sentiment onto a scrap of white card stock, trimmed it and adhered it on the flag. To finish off the card, I added a few of the clear enamel dots. I really love the beautiful floral papers on this dark background… makes for a very striking card!
  
  I have to admit I dug into my stash for this card… I had run out of Nightshift Blue card stock with that bottom strip across the card. I had a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ piece of the Nightshift Blue card stock left over from a previous card kit so I used it. Again, I love the striking contrast with the dark background and the pretty blues, yellow and gold! So beautiful! I used another cut-a-part piece for my sentiment and the matching ephemera piece. These beautiful princess ephemera pieces are so gorgeous… I just love them!! And I was super excited to see that they are offered in the A La Carte section of the SFL shop —> Glass Slipper Ephemera!!
  
  I just love how my last card turned out!! For this card I used product exclusive to the Banana Split subscription… I love the extra goodies included in this month’s kit!! I used the beautiful Flourish stencil to create my background. Since I wanted more of a dreamy background… kinda magical… I just used purple tape to secure the Flourish stencil over the Distress Watercolor card stock from my stash, rather than using Pixie Spray to secure it down which would have given clean crisp lines to the background. I sprayed the card stock lightly with water and then watercolor washed some Picked Raspberry Distress ink over the top left corner and the bottom right corner. I dabbed up the excess water and watercolor washed some Scattered Straw Distress ink (from my stash) that I watered down to get a lighter yellow color. I pulled up the stencil and dried the background with my heat tool.
  
  I trimmed the background down to 4 x 5-1/4″ and adhered it to a white card base. I popped up the princess ephemera piece with foam squares and adhered a few sequins from the collection around the card. I then die cut the Beautiful Word die {exclusive to the Banana Split subscription of the card kit} several times from my last scrap of Banana Split card stock. I adhered three layers of the Beautiful Word die together and then adhered three more layers of the Beautiful Word die together. I decided I’d adhere the Beautiful Word die across the bottom of the princesses dress so I cut one of the layers of die cuts just after the letter ‘e’ giving me three layers of the word ‘be’. I adhered those layers to the bottom of my other die cut of the Beautiful Word die and then adhered the entire die cut piece to the card. The extra layers under the ‘be’ portion of the die cut were perfect to keep the whole piece level with the height given to the princess ephemera piece from the foam squares. Love it!!
  
  So, I’ve pretty much finished up this collection in my stash but I saw that the consumable products in the collections are available to purchase in the A La Carte section of the shop… the card stock, the pretty patterned papers, the ephemera, and the enamel dots!! I can restock my stash and make more pretty cards! Woohoo!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- More Tea-rrific Inspiration!
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Mar 20th
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with more tea-rrific inspiration using the sweet Tea Party Collection from the It’s All About the Girls card kit! This collection is especially endearing for me because my Mom was a tea drinker and her favorite color was purple. So while I created with this collection she was in the forefront of my mind.
  
  With that said, it’s no surprise that a couple of the cards I made are cards that could be for Mother’s Day. I know it’s a couple months away but it sure doesn’t hurt to have those in your stash, right?!
  
  I used up almost every last scrap of the patterned papers on these four cards. I had a lot of fun mix matching the patterned papers for each of the cards. I even paper pieced for this first card. Isn’t that tea pot just the cutest with those pink polka dots! Love it! And it works well with all the polka dots in the patterned papers and even the enamel dots play into that design!
  
  I had a couple more of the wood icons left over in my collection so I stamped the cup and saucer with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored it with the following copic markers ~ R81, R83, R85, E51. I kept the tea a light milky color because my Mom liked her tea with a lot of milk. I then fussy cut the cup/saucer and cleaned up the edges of the image with my Memento Tuxedo black marker. I adhered the cup/saucer to the wood icon with Ranger Multi Medium Matte. I then adhered the wood icon piece to a Grape Jelly die cut scalloped circle.
  
  My third card is really very simple in the design… I adhered all of the layers on a card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ of Pink Lemonade card stock and then adhered it to a white card base from my stash. I just adhered the sweet little wood icon tea pot to this card, along with the sentiment and was done. Very simple but sweet… I like it!
  
  My last card is my favorite… I love the cute papers and the white embossed sentiment on the Plum Punch card stock. I colored this cup with the same copics as the other cup, but made it a bit darker. I also used BV0000, BV000, BV01 for the saucer. I used N0 and N2 to add some steam and for the ground. A similar design to the first two cards but I really love the way this one turned out!
  
  Have you been playing with your It’s All About the Girls card kit? We would love to see your creations in the Scrapping for Less Show & Share group on Facebook. Come and join us and share your beautiful cards! And if you haven’t purchased this beautiful card kit yet, there are still some in the shop… be sure to get your kit before they are all gone!!

- More Inspiration with the Be-You-tiful Collection!!
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Mar 13th
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with more inspiration from Collection One of the It’s All About the Girls card kit… I can’t get enough of this kit and Collection One has been one of my most favorite collections! I have three cards to share today… I was able to use up most of my patterned paper and a few more of the awesome Sentiment Stickers included in the collection.
  
  For my first card, I die cut the polka dot paper with the Loopy Rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs and then I stamped the cluster of stars included in the Be-You-tiful stamp set multiple times on the polka dot paper with Ranger Archival Jet black ink. I used my heat tool to dry the ink and popped it up on pink patterned paper with foam squares. I then adhered the entire panel to a white card base. I added the sentiment sticker and finished off the card with a few of the enamel dots included in the collection. I love how simple but beautiful this card is!
  
  Another pretty simple card using up the patterned papers in the collection along with some ribbon from my stash and another fabulous sentiment sticker. It’s not often that I make a card without some kind of stamping but this card came together so fast… I love it!
  
  My last card for the Be-You-tiful collection just may be my favorite of all the cards I created using this collection. I wanted to use the Life sentiment sticker and thought it would be fun to incorporate the heart shape of the sentiment by die cutting the stamped face image with a stitched heart die. I happened to have a few more pieces of patterned paper that worked perfectly with the heart theme of the card, but they didn’t quite fit a card base. So I adhered them together and then adhered them to the center of a white card base. I popped up the stitched heart die cut and adhered the Life sentiment, along with the last of my enamel dots in the collection. It felt really good to finish off some of my enamel dot collection.. lol! I just love this card!
  
  That’s it for me! I hope you’ve been inspired by my cards today using the Be-You-tiful collection from the It’s All About the Girls card kit. And if you haven’t purchased this fabulous kit, there are still some in the shop!! Check it out here —> It’s All About the Girls card kit!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky hugs,

- All About the Birthday Queen ~ More Inspiration!
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Mar 6th
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with another fun look at the Birthday Queen Collection from the It’s All About the Girls card kit!
  
  I was able to make four more card from this collection and I still have a few pieces of paper. I did use white card bases from my stash to make all of these cards. I kept the card design simple so I wouldn’t cover up all of the pretty papers.
  
  My favorite trick for keeping the pretty papers visible in a card, is to use vellum card stock for the sentiment. I die cut a few different shapes from vellum card stock and then heat embossed the Birthday Queen sentiment with VersaMark watermark ink and gold embossing powder. I then used PLUS vellum glue tape to adhere the sentiment to my cards.
  
  Aren’t those pink and gold balloons just stunning?! And they pop with that dark navy blue background!! Love it! I added a few of the gold rhinestones from the mesh included in the collection.
  
  I love the turquoise color in this patterned paper. I used a Tempting Turquoise card front from my stash for this one and added a few more of those gold rhinestones. I also love that the stamp set included in this collection has numbers so you can customize the card for your recipient!!
  
  Another fabulous paper with those beautiful balloons!! I adhered the paper to a Nightshift Blue card front cut from the card stock included in the kit. To finish off this one, I added a few of the glitter enamel dots included in the collection.
  
  My last card has a simple layer of flower patterned paper that I trimmed to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ and adhered to a white card base. I used the last of my glitter enamel dots from the collection on this card to finish up this card. That’s it for me this time… I hope you like the cards I’ve shared and they inspire you to get inky with your card kit!!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky hugs,
  
  Crystal

- February 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ One Last Sneak Peek
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Feb 28th
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with the last sneak peek of the February 2020 Flavor of the Month card kit called It’s All About the Girls!! Oh my goodness… I was so excited to see this beautiful face stamp when I received my card kit!! I couldn’t wait to ink her up and color!!
  
  When I was looking through the papers in the first collection, I had the idea for this card form in my mind. I trimmed the striped layer of paper down to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ and ran the rose paper through my big shot with a stitched rectangle die. I adhered the papers together and then wrapped the wide black ribbon around and tied a faux bow… it’s actually just a knot and I trimmed the tails to make it look like a bow. Now, I will mention that the black ribbon is from my stash and not included in the collection. I couldn’t resist… the design called for it! Anywho, I stamped the beautiful image onto white card stock with Memento Tuxedo black ink (masking the lips) and then I stamped the lips with a light pink dye ink. I then colored the image with the following copic markers:
  
  Skin ~ E000, E00, E21
  
  Hair ~ B41, C3, C5, C7, C9
  
  Lips ~ R81, R83, R85, RV29
  
  I wanted to take the shine on her lips just one more step so I added some glossy accents… Wow! It really made a difference! I love how it turned out! I die cut another piece of white card stock with the Frilly Lace Nested Rectangle die by Gina Marie Designs. I trimmed down the colored image to fit on the die cut piece, fussy cutting around the top of the face and hair and then I adhered it down.
  
  I popped up the main panel with foam squares. To finish off the card, I added a few of the enamel dots included in the collection and then added the sentiment sticker, also included in the collection.
  
  I’m so happy with how this card turned out! I hope you like it too! I hope that you have subscribed to receive this beautiful kit!! If not, you can here —> February 2020 It’s All About the Girls 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 fabulous inspiration!!

- SNEAK for June 2019 FOTM
  
  Posted at 12:01 am by Katie Williams
  
  Jun 27th
  
  Good Morning and Happy Thursday fellow crafters!
  
  Katie here from 2CraftyKaties to share a sneak from the June 2019 Flavor of the Month kit!
  
  I used the stamps and paper from collection 3.
  
  When I saw the otters and then the sentiment I instantly thought of Yin and Yang! So, I VERY carefully stamped them together and used my scan and cut to get this image! I used the following copic markers on the otters and in the space between them (I didn’t want the white space to be a focal point); BG23, E11, E25, E33, E35.
  
  The layout was inspired by this sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches #509:
