- Adding a little Sun on Monday with Sunny Studio’s “That Sucks” Bundle!
  
  Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
  
  Feb 3rd
  
  Hello Everyone! I’m hoping to start our week off with a little Sun with Sunny Studio’s stamps and pattern paper. Today I am using the “That Sucks” stamp and die bundle and the Spring Fling 6×6 pattern paper.
  
  I’m also bringing in some distress ink and watercolor paper to do a little ink smooshing. I am using Dusty Concord, Worn Lipstick and bring in little Peacock Feathers for some hearts.
  
  First, I flipped through all the beautiful pattern papers to find the one I wanted to use. Once I chose a pattern, I used a stitched rectangle die to trim my panel.
  
  Next, I took out my non-stick mat and smooshed down some Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I added some water and pressed down my watercolor piece. I did this again then repeated the step with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I used a heat gun to dry the area and added hearts using the Distress Ink.
  
  I stamped out the vacuum image from the stamp set with Copic friendly ink and colored the image with Copic markers. I then used the coordinating die to die cut the image. All that is left is putting the pieces together and adding some finishing touches!
  
  The finishing touches include Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen, White Gel Pen, and some Morning Dew Nuvo Crystal Drops.

- Sneak Peek Number Four!
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Jan 23rd
  
  Well hello and welcome!
  
  Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde with this week’s fourth sneak peek for January’s Flavor of the Month card kit. This month is “All About the Boys” and if buffalo plaid isn’t a great fit for masculine cards I don’t know what is! I am excited to share today’s card with you and also tell a quick story of some confusion I had and maybe clear it up for you all too in case you have the same question I did. So here is my card which I created using collection two “Buffaloed”.
  
  When I got my kit in the mail and opened and was pouring over all the collections I came to this collection and read the sentiments and thought “What in the world does Buffaloed mean?” I’m getting accustomed to not knowing new songs, new slang, and new actors/actresses. I thought I had new slang to learn but nope turns out it’s just a word I wasn’t familiar with. It means to be intimidated, so the way I used it on this card is saying “Don’t get buffaloed (intimidated). Stand your ground! Have a wild birthday!” Perfect for someone who may be facing a milestone birthday I think.
  
  That’s it for this sneak peek I hope you find some inspiration and maybe a new vocabulary word 😉 . Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to check out this card. Don’t forget it’s sneak peek week so check out the other peeks from previous days and come back tomorrow for the last one before the big reveal!

  Kim 🙂

- SFL – Flavor of the Month December 2019 Sneak Peek!
  
  Posted at 8:00 am by Christine Patterson
  
  Dec 23rd
  
  Hello Everyone! I’m here to share a Sneak Peek from the December 2019 SFL Flavor of the Month Card Kit!!
  
  Today I am using one of the December 2019 Card Sketches and items from Collection 3. First, I trimmed the pattern paper down as shown on the sketch. Then, on some white card stock, I stamped out the image from the stamp set found in this collection. I found this sentiment from the set fit perfectly inside the heart. I trimmed out the image with a square die and used Worn Lipstick Distress Ink along the edges.
  
  Thanks So Much for stopping by and stop in each day for more sneak peeks until the reveal on Saturday at 12:00am.

  Dec 10th
  
  Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a bunch of cards I made using what I think is probably my newest favorite Doodlebug collection: Winter Wonderland. Well…..it’s definitely in the top 5. LOL
  
  What I love about Doodlebug is all you need is their 6×6 paper pad and the Icon stickers and you are good to go! I’m only showing 12 cards today. I originally made 23 cards and one cell phone case insert from the paper pad. However, I gave some of the cards away to family and friends before I realized I wanted to use them in my Design Team post.
  
  Stop over to the Scrapping for Less store to grab some of this line of products in this adorable collection.
  
  Thanks for visiting,

- Blinging it Home for Christmas!
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Nov 21st
  Hello everyone! Kim here with a Christmas card with a pink color scheme to it. I like using non-traditional colors whether it’s for Christmas cards or any other occasions that have an expected color scheme. So here is how this card came together:
  - used Silver Bells Tags from Kaiserkraft-I used two of them because I wanted the front and the back. I removed the metal piece because I knew I didn’t plan on using the strings that come with the tags.
  - for the little hole I used pink stone Nuvo drops (QUICK TIP: when you put it down and you want a nice rounded bead don’t be afraid to whack the card against your hand or on a table it will help round the drops out)
  - used Sticky Back Glitter Sheet from Darice in Silver to line the tags and the background sheet that I blended distress inks on
  This card came together rather quickly and if you only used one tag you could use it for your sentiment for six cards! And you would still have six tags that you could use for tags. Thanks so much for taking a few minutes to visit the blog! I hope you get a chance to do something crafty today!
  
  Keep on crafting,
  
  Kim 🙂

- Winter Wear by Concord & 9th

  Nov 14th
  Hello my crafty friends! It’s Kim here with a stamp set that I have been chomping at the bit to use! The images are the epitome of cozy and of all days here in Florida it is actually cold today! High of 68 degrees (yes that’s cold here). So here’s a run down of what I did with today’s card:
  - used Winter Wear stamp by Concord & 9th
  - stamped images out in Gina K Amalgam Ink in whisper
  - used Nuvo Glimmer Paste in moonstone on the Carta Bella stencil Our Home Shiplap
  - colored the image in with Copic Markers (ugh you will see in the pics I managed to show you three colors I used and then I was so focused on coloring I forgot to show any more!)
  - got out a sheet of patterned paper to use for my 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ from Scrapping For Less’ Nordic Winter paper pad
  - cut down my shiplap paper to 4″x5 1/4″ and adhered it onto the Nordic Winter sheet with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive (QUICK TIP: keep a sewing needle or strait pin nearby to unclog the tip)
  - used a rounded stitched rectangle die to cut out the image
  - finished by adding the sentiment in Versafine Ink and adding Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen
  This was my first attempt at a “no line” coloring and I’m liking how it turned out so I definitely think I will try again, practice makes perfect, right? Thank you so much for stopping in and checking out this card. I hope you get the chance to get crafty today!
  
  Keep on crafting,
  
  Kim 🙂

- Cold Hands with Waffle Flower
  
  Posted at 11:00 am by Luci Manos

  Hi Everyone! Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a card using the Waffle Flower Cold Hands Stamp Set and Sticky Back Glitter Paper in Silver from Darice.
  
  Be sure to check out the video HERE!
  
  To create this card I started with an A2 size cardbase or 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inches. I used Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. I stamped the images I wanted to use with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with copic markers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut the images out.
  
  I cut the glitter paper for the front panel to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inches and cut out a 3 1/4 inch circle towards the top center of the card and then cut out another circle from white card stock with a 3 1/2 inch die.
  
  I used a cloud stencil, Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks to create the background sky on the 3 1/2 inch circle. I left the bottom of the circle white. Then I used one of the tree stamps and stamped a few trees with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink.
  
  I adhered all of the tree images to the 3 1/2 inch circle panel and popped the mouse images up with some foam dots. I adhered the 3 1/2 inch circle to the top of the card base and then adhered the glitter paper to the card base lining up the circles. I stamped the sentient “Cold Hands” from Hero Arts Ink in Moss on a white strip of card stock. I cut the banner down to 4 1/4 X 3/4 inches and adhered it towards the bottom of the card with some foam tape.
  
  To finish it off I stamped on the inside of the card the sentiment “Warm Heart”, as well as, the image of the mittens with the string of them creating a heart. I colored in the mittens with copic markers.

- Winter Fun with A Gnome Winter by Picket Fence Studios
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Oct 30th
  
  Hi Everybody! Kim here and today I am using A Winter Gnome by Picket Fences which brings cuteness with just a face. I don’t know how they have managed to accomplish this but I’ll take it because this little gnome head is just adorable and without even seeing his eyes he screams Winter! I knew when I pulled this stamp set out to play with…er I mean work with it that I definitely wanted to use Kraft cardstock. I also wanted his beard to be very white and I thought the Kraft cardstock would work well for this. Originally I was going to adhere the naked trees down on top of Kraft paper but while making another card with Carta Bella’s Christmas 6×6 paper pad the snowflakes on top of woodgrain sheet caught my eye and I thought those trees would look perfect on top of that paper instead.
  
  I heat embossed the image on Kraft cardstock with detailed white embossing powder after stamping the image with Versa Mark ink. Blues of course work for winter, I was going for an ombre effect so I started with Navy and worked up with lighter blues by section. Coloring with Derwent Inktense pencils I guess I just forgot that they don’t resist water in any way and thought I could wipe the color off the white embossed areas with a baby wipe but that did NOT work the way it did in my head. So I ended up fussy cutting the image out and using a label punch to punch out the sentiment.
  
  Instead of the white embossing powder which I had already embossed by the way resisting the blue it looks like it just absorbed it. Not what I was going for but it certainly became what I was going with (insert wink emoji here). After adding some sequins with Multi Medium Matte I then used a white Signo pen to trace over some of the details in the gnome’s hat to make them look whiter. I also decided that his beard needed some of that white Signo pen treatment as well. All in all I am happy with this card and per usual seeing about a dozen other ways I would like to use this stamp set.
  
  Thank you so much for checking out the blog today, I hope you take some time for yourself and get crafty.
  
  Keep on crafting,
  
  Kim 🙂

  Hey everybody! If you enjoy making Christmas cards then it’s never too early to get a start and if you enjoy sending a lot of Christmas cards then the earlier you start the less stressed you’ll be. This Sloth Christmas stamp by Stampendous is all about taking it easy through the holiday season. So here’s a run down of my card with this cute little sloth:
  - patterned paper from Carta Bella’s Christmas collection
  - stamped in memento ink Rich Cocoa
  - colored with Copic markers as follows: For the sloth’s body E79, E59, E29, E34 (also used E34 for his face and nose.) Hat R24, R29. String of lights R46, R24, Y13, Y15, YR04, YR18, G09, G05, B21, B29, BG99 for tops of lights. Leaves YG23, YG13
  - the sentiment is stamped in versa mark ink and then used Wow! Embossing powder in black fine detail and hit it with a heat gun
  - The circle that slot figure and leaves are adhered to is a 3″ circle and the fishtailed flag is 2.5″x 4″
  - Adhered it all down with Lawn Fawn glue tube
  - Adhered the entire card front to a card base
  - filled in the white parts of the hat with Stickles Frosted Lace
  - added glossy accents to the Christmas lights and his little nose
  So that’s this week’s card with Christmas Sloth by Stampendous. Thanks so much for stopping by and seeing what we have in store for you. Don’t forget about the big sale going on now while Teresa is off visiting her sweet Grandbabies! Have a great weekend and I hope you get to do something fun!
  
  Keep on crafting!
