- “A Cozy Christmas” – featuring LDRS Arctic Animals and Carta Bella Christmas
  
  Posted at 4:39 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
  
  Nov 3rd
  
  Hello! Alicia (Crazy Paper Chick) here and I am so excited to be a guest designer for the month of November for Scrapping for Less.
  
  For my card today, I used the beautiful pattern paper from Carta Bella called Christmas. If you love a rustic theme for your Christmas cards, you will love this paper! For my stamp set I used LDRS Creative’s Arctic Animals. The sweet fox paired perfectly with the rustic theme of the pattern paper. I chose to color the fox gray to give it a soft look against the “wood” background of the pattern paper. For the sentiment I used a piece of pattern paper from the same paper pack.
  
  I added some ribbon from my stash and adhered everything down to my vanilla card base measuring A2 size (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ once scored and folded). I topped the card off with some Nuvo Drops in Honey Gold to add some sparkle.
  
  Thanks for visiting,
  
  Alicia

- Reveal of the October Flavor of the Month Card Kit | Scrapping for Less

  Oct 26th
  Christmas Around the World
  
  I was an elementary school teacher for many years. During Christmas time for Social Studies we studied Christmas traditions around the world. This was my absolute favorite time of the year with my students. So, for our Christmas Around the World card kit I have chosen my most favorite countries we studied to feature.
  
  Mexico: Great food and wonderful traditions centered around Papa Noel.
  
  Sweden: St. Lucia was my favorite tradition in Sweden we studied.
  
  Australia: My students got the biggest kick out of the fact that it was hot and summer there during Christmas.
  
  Germany: Of course what would a study be without studying the origin of the Christmas tree.

- Sending a Cuddly Hello with Doodlebug Designs’ Koala Doodle-Pop
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Aug 23rd
  
  Hi everyone! Kim here with a cute koala doodle-pop from Doodlebug Designs and a confession…I have a habit of hoarding my doodle-pops! I know, I know they are meant to be used but I sure do love looking through them and sometimes find it hard to use them up. That being said they really do make the cutest addition to cards.
  
  I started off wanting to create some background paper with the koala stamps from the Hero Arts stamp set Realistic Animals. Using Gina K. Designs Amalgam ink in whisper I stamped the images all over the paper. It looked amazing at first and then once it dried I found that it was super hard to see which completely defeated the purpose. I didn’t want to completely lose the sheet so I decided to use it to frame the koala.
  
  I had some paper in my stash that was covered in leaves and I thought it would be perfect for using as a background. While trimming the paper down the leaves seemed to lend themselves perfectly to being cut out and a few of them popped up with some pop dot pieces. Some cards you may spend quite some time coloring an image or spend some time doing an ink technique or playing with embossing paste but so often when I am using a doodle-pop as a main focus the card comes together so quickly that I find myself looking it over extra long to see what I missed.
  
  QUICK TIP: WHEN USING POP DOTS BE SURE TO USE PARTS OF THE PANEL LEFT BEHIND AFTER USING THE DOTS. THEY CAN BE CUT UP AND USED FOR WHATEVER SIZE YOU MAY NEED!
  
  Also the sentiment that was used on this card came from the Hero Arts stamp set Realistic Animals. I love this little koala’s face so sweet!
  
  Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you find some time for yourself today.
  
  Keep on crafting,
  
  Kim 🙂

- Longing to See You Giraffe | In the Wild
  
  Posted at 8:10 am by Stacy Tiedemann
  
  Aug 13th
  
  Hello my friends! It’s Stacy here from CraftaholicMomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog. Today I have a card for you using the Stampendous Giraffe stamp and die combo set. There are two things that I really like about this set. One, you can take the background die and use it with any stamp you have in your collection to make a tree scene. You can make it like the safari I made here, or you could use it as a meadow tree or Halloween dead tree just by changing up the colors of card stock you cut. Two, the giraffe set is so cute and versatile. You could mirror stamp a second one and entwine their necks around each other for an adorable love you card. There’s just so much you can do with it!!
  
  I masked off the card layer with a circle die and masking paper. I used blending brushes and Distress Oxide inks to create the horizon and safari sky. I die cut the tree with black card stock and made it into a frame with a second circle die from my stash. I adhered this over the inked background with liquid adhesive. I stamped, die cut and colored the giraffe with Copic Markers. Stamping the sentiment and popping the giraffe and card layer up on foam adhesive finished it off nicely.
  
  I think it fits in nicely with this month’s theme of “In the Wild”. I would love to go on an African safari someday. I just LOVE giraffes and elephants!

- Picket Fence ~ Be a Unicorn of the Sea
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Jun 7th
  
  Hey there crafty friends!
  
  Crystal here with a couple super fun cards to share today using the fabulous Be a Unicorn of the Sea stamp set by Picket Fence. Oh my goodness… this is an adorable set!!
  
  I paired this fabulous set with the beautiful Watercolor Wishes paper by Lawn Fawn. I stamped the schools of fish and bubbles directly on the Watercolor Wishes paper using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and Powder Blue ink by Gina K. Designs. I adhered that to another layer from the paper pad and then I set it aside.
  
  I stamped several of the narwhals and started coloring… I wanted my narwhals to have some pink-purple so I started by coloring them with the V000 Copic marker. I then added some grays to the narwhals using C00, C2, and C3.
  
  I fussy cut the narwhals and adhered them to my panels… popping up one of the narwhals for dimension. Once I had my panels done, I set them on the white card base so I could decide where to put the sentiment. Using my stamp platform I positioned the sentiment just so and was able to remove the panel and then stamp without worrying about getting extra ink on my panel. For my first card, I stamped the sentiment with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and then just barely inked up the bottom portion of the sentiment with the Powder Blue ink and stamped it again.
  
  I love the effect it gives to the sentiment!
  
  For my second card, I did all the same steps except I turned my card base and made my panel slightly larger to fit the card. For the sentiment on this one, I just used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.
  
  To finish off both of my cards I added drops of the gorgeous Nuvo Dream Drops Fairy Wings. Oh my goodness the color of these drops is seriously dreamy! Love them!!
  
  Be sure to check out the Scrapping for Less website this month… the featured products this month are all Under the Sea!!
  
  Thanks so much for checking out my blog!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal
