    • November 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Inky Embossed Backgrounds

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Nov 27th
      Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a little more inspiration using the November 2020 FOTM Card Kit Simply Sentimental. I had a fun idea for a quick card while creating my cards for the hop and reveal so I gave it a quick try… Loved it!! So I decided to make three more cards using the same techniques and they really were quick!
      My first original card… I started with a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ piece of Pink Lemonade card stock. I inked up the de-bossed side {the side that indents) of the Hearts Embossing folder with Sweet Blush dye ink from Papertrey Ink. I then ran the embossing folder through my big shot… now when I did this the card stock jumped a bit {my plate is really bowed in the center… I keep flipping it over but I think it’s time to replace the plate} and that’s why the bottom portion of the card looks blurry… almost 3D.
      Anywho, I do love the texture that this technique gives to the card!! I trimmed down the card front to 4 x 5-1/4″ and adhered it to a Kraft card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I then wrapped the card front with the beautiful ribbon that I received in the Banana Split goodies! With a separate piece of ribbon I tied a bow and I adhered it with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment from the Thanks So Much stamp set found in Collection Two with Classic Kraft ink from Papertrey Ink. I masked the little heart in the sentiment… I thought it would be fun to use a little heart punch from my stash to add a little interest to the sentiment. I finished off this card with a few sequins, also from the Banana Split subscription.
      My second card… I used the very same technique for this card and the next two. For this one I used Picket Fence Distress Ink in the embossing folder and the Razzleberry card stock from the card kit.
      I also used Raspberry Fizz dye ink from Papertrey Ink to darken the raised hearts and also for the heart at the end of the sentiment.
      For card #3… I used Mint Julep dye ink. Isn’t it beautiful!
      This one just might be my favorite of them all!
      And the last card… I used Melon Berry dye ink. It has almost a wood grain feel for this one with the colors and also the texture in the background.
      And I changed things up with this one and used a different thank you sentiment from the same stamp set. I like how it changes up the design of the card.
      I do have a video sharing the process in making the last three cards and finishing up the first card with the sentiment.
      You can check that out… here!

      A look at all four cards! Which one is your favorite?! I’d love to know… if you have a minute, please share in the comments. Well, that’s it for me this time!
      Thanks so much for stopping by!
      See ya next time.
      Inky Hugs,
      Crystal

    • June 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Two More Cards

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Jul 31st
      Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one last look at the June 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit called A Walk in the Park. Today I have a couple cards to share to wrap up my inspiration for the June 2020 card kit.
      My first card using the adorable ephemera from the Picnic Time collection and the fun papers. This was such a quick card once I decided on which papers to use together.
      I mat the ant picnic paper on the Gumdrop Green card stock in the kit. And mat the yellow  on a Lemon Drop card front. The ephemera is popped up with some foam squares. And to finish it off, I added a few sequins from the Banana Split subscription sequins.
      My second card for today uses a few different papers from the cute On the Playground collection. I had some longer scraps of the On the Playground papers and thought they would be fun together. I adhered all of them to a lightweight white card stock that measures 4 x 5-1/4″. I actually stamped the slide twice… once on the ombre blue patterned paper and again on a scrap piece of white card stock. After I colored the slide, I fussy cut it and cleaned up the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. I didn’t fussy cut in between the steps on the slide… I actually just colored that space with a copic marker. I popped up the focal piece with foam squares and tied the green twine around the panel. I then adhered the panel to the white card base with Tombow Mono Multipurpose liquid glue. I added a few sequins to finish off this second card.
      I used the following Copic markers to color this card ~ R000, R14, R27, Y000, Y06, Y15, B000. 
      I hope that you’ve liked my last share for the June 2020 FOTM card kit!! I’ll be back tomorrow with inspiration for the new August 2020 Sketch Challenge for the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group.
      Thanks so much for stopping by!
      See ya next time.
      Inky hugs,
      Crystal
