- More Inspiration with the Easy Peasy Collection ~ Squeeze the Day!
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Jun 19th
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one more look at the May 2020 Let’s Encourage One Another card kit! Today, I’m sharing more inspiration using the gorgeous Easy Peasy Collection! Let’s get right to it!
  
  My first card is my absolute favorite! I love the colors and the simple design… those beautiful lemon blossoms are just the right touch for such a delicate combination of papers!
  
  I used the following Copic Markers to color the lemon blossoms ~ C00, C1, Y11, Y03, Y13, YR0000, YR01.
  
  I have been itching to make one of these beautiful lemons into a lime and I just had to pair it with this gorgeous green patterned paper. The photo makes my coloring appear to be a bit brighter, but in person it coordinates very nicely. I used the following Copic Markers to color these images:
  
  Lemon ~ Y000, Y11, Y13, YG0000, YG11, G82
  
  Lime ~ YG0000, YG03, YG11, YG63, G82
  
  My third and final card features one of the gorgeous lemon patterned papers in the collection… I love the colors in these papers!! It just screams summer to me! Again, the photo makes my coloring on this one also looks a bit bright, but in person it’s toned down. I used the same Copic markers for this last card but I kept the leaves lighter. You may also see a similarity to the card I created for my sneak peek of the Let’s Encourage One Another card kit… I flipped the stitched die cut card stock pieces for a different design. You can check out my sneak peek card here… Easy Peasy Sneak Peek card.
  
  Here’s a video sharing the coloring of the lemon from my second card and the finishing touches of assembling these cards. I hope you’ll check it out!!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- Glitter Lace Butterflies and More!!
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  May 22nd
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple of cards using products from the A La Carte section of the Scrapping for Less shop! Anyone else obsessed with butterflies?! I love them! Today I’m sharing the Lace Butterfly die by Gina Marie Designs that is available in the shop here —> Lace Butterfly die.
  
  I die cut the beautiful butterfly several times from the DCWV Single-Sided Glitter card stock in all the colors of the rainbow!! I decided for this card to use the turquoise glitter butterfly… it looks so lovely over the Insulation Pink card stock.
  
  I applied some beautiful Glitter Glaze from Brutus Monroe over the Coffee Dot stencil by Echo Park. I think the Nuvo Frostbite Glacier Paste would give a similar look and it’s in the shop here —> Nuvo Frostbite Glacier Paste. So much glittery goodness!! I wish the pictures did it justice!
  
  I trimmed the Insulation Pink card stock to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ and adhered a Scalloped Stitched Rectangle frame by Gina Marie Designs that I die cut from white card stock. If you don’t have a scalloped stitched rectangle frame in your stash, there’s one in the shop here that is just slightly smaller than the one I used —> Sunny Studio Frilly Frames Hexagon Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die… and it has that cool hexagon too! I stamped the ‘Live Your Best Life!’ sentiment from the Your Best Life Collection in the April 2020 City Streets and Country Roads card kit with Memento Tuxedo black ink and die cut it with a banner die. I trimmed it down and popped it up on the card.
  
  To finish off the card, I added three cute flower sequins to the body of the glitter butterfly… it is so enchanting in person!!! Truly beautiful combined with the glitter butterfly!
  
  Now, remember I die cut a whole bunch of these glitter butterflies… let me tell you there was glitter everywhere!!! But a handy tip for cleaning that up is using Swiffer Sweeper dry cloths. I was able to clean up everything with just one cloth… they are super sturdy and hold a lot of glitter!
  
  For my second card, I wanted to make a slimline card that looked like the butterflies were flying in the clouds. I made a little video showing the ink blending and assembly of the card. You can check that out here…
  
  I hope that you’ve enjoyed the cards I shared today! Be sure to check out all the fabulous items available in the A La Carte section of the shop! You can restock those consumables you’ve used up in the kit or find some other must have goodies to help enhance your card kit creations!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- April 2020 City Streets and Country Roads Card Kit ~ Layered Stencils for CAS Cards
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  May 15th
  
  Hey there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple sweet CAS cards using the fabulous City Streets and Country Roads card kit and stencils!! I layered a shape stencil with the city skyline portion of the stencil included in the Banana Split subscription to create these fun cards.
  
  My first card was created using the Scalloped Circle Masquerade stencil from Heffy Doodle. I started by blending Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink over the top portion of the scalloped circle. I then blended some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink on the bottom portion. Then I placed the city skyline stencil over top of the scalloped circle stencil and secured it with some purple tape. I also covered the words underneath the skyline on the stencil with some purple tape. I then blended some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink lightly over the stencil for my base color and using a post it note I added some dimension to the buildings blending from the bottom right edge and up.
  
  I stamped the sentiment from the Your Best Life stamp set from Collection Two of the card kit with Memento Tuxedo black ink. And then I stamped the girl from the same stamp set onto a scrap of white card stock. If you remember my card from the reveal a couple of weeks ago, I’ve used a very similar color combo on this girl. And I’ll have a video of my coloring to share with you tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s a list of the Copic markers that I used to color this image:
  
  Skin ~ E000, E00, E11, R00, R20
  
  Eyes ~ B02, B16, C1
  
  Hair ~ E50, E51, E53, E55
  
  Clothes ~ R05, R08, R22, C00, C1, C3, B0000, B02, B16
  
  Scooter ~ R000, R01, R14, R21, R30, N0, N2, N4, N6, C00, C1, C3, Y11, Y13
  
  And I did the same layered stencils technique to make my second card. This time I used the super girl stamp from the Super Host stamp set in Collection One along with a star stencil that I created myself by die cutting a piece of card stock with a star die.
  
  I used the following Copic markers to color up this sweet super girl:
  
  Skin ~ E000, E00, E11
  
  Hair ~ E50, E51, E53, E55
  
  Clothes ~ Y11, Y13, Y15, R000, R14, R24, R27, B0000, B00, B02, B05
  
  Here’s a video showing the Layered Stencils technique I used for these adorable CAS cards!
  
  I sure hope you’ve enjoyed the cards I’ve shared today! The April 2020 card kit is sold out but you can subscribe now so you don’t miss out on the May 2020 card kit… and let me just tell you, you DO NOT want to miss this next kit!!! It’s SO adorable… just saying!!

- April 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ One Last Sneak Peek!
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Apr 24th
  
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie and I am sharing the last sneak peek of the absolutely amazing City Streets and Country Roads Card Kit that releases tonight!!! Eeep! You are going to love this kit!! It is seriously gorgeous… and amazing!!
  
  I seriously LOVE each of the collections this month… Gorgeous!! But the Banana Split subscription this month has that extra bit of crafty goodness that just tops the cake!! How absolutely stunning is that camera with the dainty flowers and leaves…?!? I just HAD to use it for my sneak peek! I die cut it from the Neenah 110 lb. Classic Crest Smooth Solar White card stock included in the kit and colored it using copic markers that coordinated with the gorgeous papers included in the Country Roads collection:
  
  Flowers ~ R0000, R14, R56
  
  Leaves ~ Y11, Y13, Y15, E41, YG91, YG93
  
  Camera ~ N0, N2, N4, N6
  
  I colored most of the pieces while keeping the die cuts intact, but some of the camera pieces were so small I took them out and colored them. I then adhered the entire die cut piece to a piece of white copy paper and fussy cut it around the edges.
  
  I trimmed the beautiful patterned papers and adhered them together. I then wrapped a pretty yellow ribbon from another collection around the layers and adhered the panel to a white card base from my stash. I then die cut a piece of white card stock with the Stitched Arch STAX die… adding this piece helped the gorgeous camera to pop on the card. I stamped the empowering sentiment from Your Best Life stamp set in Collection Two with VersaFine Onyx Black Pigment Ink and die cut it with a banner die. I added a tiny piece of patterned paper to the edge of that sentiment and then popped it up on the card. To finish off the card, I added a few of the black sequins included in the Banana Split subscription. So… I used three of the collections and a couple of elements from the Banana Split to make this beautiful card!! I am telling you this kit is A MUST HAVE!!! Go subscribe here —> City Streets and Country Roads 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 amazing inspiration!!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky hugs,

- 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

  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with the last sneak peek of the wonderful A Farmhouse Spring card kit from Scrapping for Less! This card kit is jam packed with fabulous Spring images and the papers are sooo beautiful!! Definitely a must have kit!!
  
  I am loving the ephemera pieces included in this month’s kit so I just had to use this darling one for the focus on my card. I trimmed my patterned papers and adhered them to a Whipped Cream card front that was adhered to a white card base. I trimmed another piece of Whipped Cream card stock and stamped the ‘spring greetings’ stamp with Memento Tuxedo black ink.
  
  I adhered the piece of card stock with the sentiment to the card and then popped up the ephemera piece with foam squares. To finish off the card, I added a few of the enamel dots from the collection. Such a sweet card and pretty quick since I used that adorable ephemera piece!

- 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!!
  
  I sure hope you’ve enjoyed more inspiration for the It’s All About the Girls card kit!! I’ll be back tomorrow with even more inspiration using the gorgeous Glass Slippers Collection!!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky hugs,
  
  Crystal
