  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with the new November Sketch Challenge for the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group!
  
  Before we get to the sketch and the card that I’m sharing today… the key to playing along with the challenge is being a member of the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group so if you aren’t already a member be sure to join in the fun —> here. Also, please note that you don’t need a blog to enter the challenge as you’re adding a photo of your creation directly into the challenge album in the group. You are welcome to include a link to your blog in the description of your creation, if you’d like.
  
  So, if you follow my blog you may remember this card design from a few months ago. I used it on another card and I really like how fast it came together so I decided to use it for this challenge.
  
  You may also remember seeing this sketch during the reveal and hop for the new October 2020 FOTM Card Kit – Christmas is Covered… if you haven’t hopped with us yet, you can start hopping —> here.
  
  And here is my card for inspiration using some products from the beautiful Christmas is Covered Card Kit that just released! This was super easy to create… I think it may be a go-to Christmas card design for my stash, especially using the adorable Ephemera pieces!!
  
  Here’s a close up of the card! I have a video showing my process in creating this card. Just a note, I added the enamel dots after doing the video. I realized I had omitted those when taking my photos of the cards. LOL… but they really finish it off nice.
  
  I actually made this one first to share but then decided to make a video with another card to share how quickly it came together. Love these ephemera pieces!! So cute!
  
  Both cards together! I really hope you’ll check out the sketch challenge and play along! I know it’s getting ready to be a busy time for many preparing for the holidays so a quick card sketch can help when it comes to making those holiday cards for your stash!
  
  The November Sketch Challenge will run from today, November 1st, and will end November 30th at 11:59pm EST. The winner will be announced in the comments of the challenge album on Tuesday December 1st. Please use #sflsketchchallenge9 in any social media posts when playing along with the challenge. I can’t wait to see what you create!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- Winter Fairies ~ Bright Winter Wishes
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Jan 3rd
  
  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a beautiful card using the newly released Winter Fairies stamp set for a card that could be used for the Holidays or just a winter themed card to brighten someone’s day!
  
  This is a two step stamping process… I stamped the light string three times on a white card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ using Memento tuxedo black ink. I then lined up the little light bulb and stamped it using different colors.
  
  I then colored in each of the little light sockets and bulbs… which actually didn’t take very long. The lights are so cute and quick to color in. I used the following copic markers:
  
  Light Sockets ~ N0, N2, N5, N7, N9
  
  Light Bulbs ~ R000, R14, R29, Y000, Y13, Y35, B0000, B00, B02, B04, G0000, G000, G46, YG11, YG63
  
  I gave each of the little light bulbs a bit of a glow by coloring around the light bulb with the lightest color. The green was a little dark so I ended up going around the outer edge of the glow with the Colorless Blender… lightened it right up! I placed my card front in my Travel Stamp Platform and lined up the sentiment. Sadly, I didn’t notice a bit of ink that I had neglected to clean off of my platform so I ended up with a couple of smudges near both ends of my crisp clean white card front *insert palm to head emoji*… I tried to fix it with my handy dandy Tombow Mono Sand Eraser, but it wouldn’t work. I opted to trim off the ends.
  
  So… I decided to pop up the panel onto a white card base and I’m actually really happy with the end result! I hope you like it too! Be sure to check out the new release… there’s only a limited number available!!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- Sweater Weather in the Woods Wood Slice Ornaments | My Favorite Things
  
  Posted at 2:34 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
  
  Nov 5th
  
  Hello, it’s Stacy from CraftaholicMomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with an “other than a card” project for you today.
  
  This project was not my original idea as I’ve seen it around on Pinterest and such. I just loved the idea! I though I “wood” make these for my daughters teachers, paras and classmates for Christmas. They make a very cute gift or stocking stuffer for a friendly cost.
  
  I stamped the images from the MFT Sweater Weather in the Woods stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored the images with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. I read somewhere that they had better luck with no bleeding if they used their Spectrum Noirs. The COPIC Markers with the brush bibs tend to bleed on the wood. I think the key is to use a marker with a bullet nib. I guess the best thing to do is to sacrifice one of the wood slices and try out different markers on it and see which one works best for you.
  
  The other cool thing about these wood slices is that they come already pre-sanded and pre-drilled with holes. Plus a big wad of rustic twine was included.
  
  So if you’re looking for quick and easy gift try making these wood slice ornaments. Your recipients will love them!
  
  Thanks for visiting,

- Stamping Bella ~ All is Calm

  Hello! Crystal here with a sweet card using an adorable stamp set from Stamping Bella called The Penguin on a Reindeer on a Polar Bear.
  
  I paired the Stamping Bella set with the bright and beautiful Holiday Cheer papers from Sunny Studio. Oh my goodness… these papers have such beautiful colors! They totally inspired my color palette for this card. I stamped the image and the sentiment on a 5-1/4 x 4″ piece of white card stock.
  
  I then colored using my Copic markers:
  
  Penguin ~ YR15, YR68, N0, N1, N3, N5, Colorless Blender, R14, R27
  
  Deer ~ E23, E25, E31, E34, E51, E53, W4
  
  Polar Bear ~ W00, W1, W3, W5, R00, R21, Colorless Blender
  
  Tree ~ R14, R27, R37, RV21, RV34, B000, B02, Y06, Y17, G24, G29, G46
  
  I trimmed down my panel to 3-5/8 x 5-1/4″ and adhered a piece of the striped patterned paper from the Holiday Cheer papers to the back of the panel, now making the panel measure 4 x 5-1/4″. I die cut two banners from the papers, trimmed them to my desired length, and then adhered them to the panel. I popped up the panel on a white card base.
  
  My final touch for this card was some Sprinkled Sugar Stickles on the fluffy hats of the penguin and polar bear. It really gives a glittery shine to the little guys hats! Adorable! This wonderful design was inspired by the fun sketch that Katie posted in the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share facebook group. If you’re not already a member of the group, you can join here… SFL: Show & Share.
  
  Thank you friends for checking out my blog post!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs!

- Get on the Nice List with MFT!

  Thanks so much for stopping by! I love getting a jump on Christmas cards and this little cutie moved right up to the top of my list. I dug into my Christmas stash and went through some patterned paper. When I saw the green plaid I immediately wanted to use that for her dress. Then I ran into a snafu…have you ever not done a technique in so long that you forget how? That is what happened to me! Embarrassing but in case any of you out there experience this now you know you’re not alone. Thank goodness my friend was hanging out close by and when I mentioned that I really wanted to paper piece her dress but couldn’t she laughingly reminded me how. As soon as she reminded me I felt so silly but we got a good laugh out of it!
  
  Here is a quick run down of what I did:
  - Nice List stamp from MFT
  - patterned Christmas paper from PhotoPlay (Mad for Plaid from last year’s release)
  - using my Tim Holtz stamp platform I stamped the Pure Innocence girl with Lawn Fawn’s Jet Black which is waterproof and alcohol marker safe
  - I colored her in with my Copic markers and Teresa gave me a tip after I paper pieced her dress that I didn’t know about…she said to take a dark grey marker and color around the dress parts that I paper pieced to soften the edges so that the dress doesn’t look like it’s floating on top of her, brilliant!
  - the sentiment was stamped in VersaFine since it gives such a crisp look
  - wanting her shoes to look like patent leather (the shiny ones from my childhood) I covered them in glossy accents
  - lastly I used silver glossy dots from Pink & Main to add a finishing touch
  MFT’s Pure Innocence stamps are just that perfect mix of sweet and cute, and I am smitten with them! Now to make more Christmas cards!!! Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my post I hope you get the chance to craft today. A little or a lot just some time for what you want to do. Have a great day!
  
  Kim 🙂
