- Winston’s Lake House One Layer Card

  Hey, everyone! My family spent this past week at the lake, so it’s super fitting that this month’s theme from Scrapping for Less is camping and outdoors!
  
  The Winston’s Lake House stamp set from Newton’s Nook Designs is SO cute! There are so many cute scene building stamps! I almost went with a lake scene – but the little bear and cabin images just spoke to me!
  
  This card came together super quickly with just a bit of masking! I stamped my sentiment first and then the bear image. When masking it’s important to remember to stamp whatever image you want to be in front first! I stamped the bear image onto masking paper and cut it out with scissors and placed it over my original stamped image and stamped my lake house. When I removed the masking paper it looks like the lake house is set behind the little bear! I used my Spectrum Noir Triblend markers to color them in.
  
  I didn’t to much to embellish the card – just some gems and clear glitter! Check out my video below!

  Hey, everyone – it’s Lynnea! I’m so excited about the June Flavor of the Month card kit from Scrapping for Less! Stay tuned! – the whole kit will be revealed this Saturday, June 29th! We would love to see what you make once you get your June FOTM kit! Share your projects on social media using the hashtag #FOTMundertheseababies for a chance to be highlighted on the Scrapping for Less social media accounts! For now though, I have a little sneak peek at one of the stamp sets included in the kit!
  
  I just LOVE otters! They’re so cute! Of course I had to use this stamp set for my sneak peek! I stamped the little fish image in a strip across my card and colored them in with light yellow and blue markers. I colored the otter image with alcohol markers and popped him and the sentiment up with foam squares. To finish off the card I used some pearls from the kit and scattered them across the card.
  
  I hope you’re super excited about this kit! I sure am!! See you soon!

- Under the Sea Porthole Shaker Card

  Hey, everyone it’s Lynnea! I have another under the sea themed card for you using fun products you can grab in the Scrapping for Less shop! This time I’m making a super fun shaker card! And there’s a video!
  
  I LOVE the My Favorite Things Ocean View Porthole die and as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make a shaker! My shaker is quite simple, but for a step by step tutorial make sure you watch my video below! I started by picking out some of my favorite papers from the Echo Park Vitamin Sea paper pack. I wanted to keep the patterns masculine. I always have a shortage of cards for guys in my stash and these papers and stamps are perfect for guys!
  
  Once I picked out my papers I die cut the waves patterned paper with the Ocean View Porthole die – you could just use a circle die, but I wanted to make sure that my window was perfectly sized, so I just used the die. I adhered some acetate to the back of my waves paper and used foam tape to make a circular “well” at the back of my patterned paper and filled it up with sequins and little anchor pieces. I used another piece of patterned paper to seal up my shaker. I die cut the Ocean View Porthole die three times from heavy white cardstock and stacked them together for dimension and then glued them onto the front of my acetate.
  
  To finish off my card I stamped the cute little shark and sentiment from the La-La Land Crafts Jaws Because stamp set. I colored him up with alcohol markers and used a dotting technique for texture. I trimmed him out and added him to the front of my shaker with the sentiment strip. That’s it! Super simple and super cute!

  Hi it’s Lynnea! I am so excited that the theme for June at Scrapping for Less is under the sea! Underwater critters are my favorites! I created a simple watercolor background! I hope you love it! Check out the video at the end of the post!
  
  Don’t you just LOVE the Jaws Because stamp set from La-La Land Crafts!? Seriously so cute! I picked out some of my favorite images and stamped them repeatedly across my card with the help of my MISTI.
  
  Watercolor is my favorite way to color, so I grabbed my Sakura Koi palette and started painting! I love the look of defined shading with watercolor! I started with a light layer of color and came back in with some darker color for shading.
  
  I added black watercolor spatters to the background for texture and a simple white heat embossed sentiment to finish my card. Here’s my how-to video!

- Multi Inked Vitamin Sea Card Set

  Hey, everyone! It’s Lynnea! Are you ever just in the mood to stamp? No frills, no fuss – just stamping? I LOVE silhouette stamps for this reason! And today I have a trio of cards that took me no time at all to make, but I was able to spice them up a bit with some multi color inking! And I have a video at the end of this post to show you just what I mean!
  
  I used the Vitamin Sea stamp set from Echo Park for each card in the set, but I changed up the images and colors to make them interesting!
  
  You KNOW I just HAD to make a yellow submarine! Haha! I started each card with a gray sentiment. I think gray is an underrated color for sentiments. I frequently find myself reaching for black for sentiments, but the gray makes an impact in its own way, too! To add some dimension to my stamping I started by stamping the submarine with a yellow ink using my MISTI. Without moving the stamp I inked up the bottom portion of the submarine with a darker yellow ink and used a towel to dab away some of the ink so there wouldn’t be a harsh line of ink. I did the same thing with the crab using two colors of red ink.
  
  I repeated the same process for my second card. I stamped my sentiment first in the center of my card using gray ink. Welllll …. I tried to stamp it in the center. I was about a quarter of an inch to the right of center haha! I lined up the fish with the sentiment and stamped a light orange first and then a dark ink second using a towel to dab off some ink to create a more seamless “blend” of ink. Once all my stamping was done I chopped off a quarter of an inch from the left of my card so that the images would appear centered. That makes this card 4 inches wide by 5 1/2 inches tall. I kind of like it!
  
  I decided to do three colors of ink for my last card. I used a light pink for the body of the jellyfish, blue for the middle, and ending with some lavender at the bottom of the tentacles. I made sure to use a towel and dab away ink before each stamping. Be sure to watch the video below to see my multi inking technique!

  Hey, everyone! I have a simple card today using patterned paper and the Critters Ever After stamp set from Lawn Fawn!
  
  I stamped and colored some images from the Critters Ever After stamp set with my alcohol markers. One thing I’m trying to do lately is leave more neutral colored areas. I struggle with coloring because I use too many colors. I’ve been loving white lately, so I kept lots of white in my colored images. I thought the Pretty Little Rainbows papers from the May 2019 Flavor of the Month kit were so gorgeous that I bought extras! I used one of my favorites for my background.
  
  I added some cloud die cuts and added my images to my card front. Simple – but I love how the rainbow background shines with the white colored images! Watch my process video below!

- Adding Color with Nuvo Dream Drops

  May 13th
  
  Hey everyone! It’s Lynnea! Have you ever tried coloring an image with Nuvo Dream Drops? I did and the results are fantastic! I have a video for you and you can find the products I’ve used in the Scrapping for Less store!
  
  I made two cards using the Indigo Eclipse Nuvo Dream Drops and the Lawn Fawn Critters Ever After stamp set. I started by stamping the unicorn and the dragon from the Critters Ever After stamp set and coloring the white parts of their bodies with an N0 Copic marker for shading. I added some gold accents to the unicorn horn and the horns of the dragon with a Nuvo shimmer marker.
  
  Then came the fun part! I squeezed out some of the Indigo Eclipse Nuvo Dream Drops onto my glass work surface and picked it up with my stylus and “colored” with the Dream Drops! How cool! I love that the Dream Drops allow the stamping to show through because they are translucent.
  
  I added some stamping to the background of my cards for interest using a My Favorite Things background stripe stamp and the stars from the Critters Ever After stamp set. Then I added my images with foam squares! Check out the video below!

- Christmas All Year Long – Patterned Paper Cards
  
  Posted at 12:00 pm by Lynnea Hollendonner
  
  May 10th
  
  Hey, everyone! It’s Lynnea! I know many of us find ourselves scrambling in November and December to create Christmas cards for friends and family. At Scrapping for Less we are celebrating Christmas all year long! Once a month we will be sharing inspiration for a Christmas card! I used the Photoplay Here Comes Santa paper pad and a sentiment from the Stocking Full of Joy stamp set from Your Next Stamp to create a set of 7 Christmas cards!
  
  I used about 5 pieces of patterned paper to create these 7 cards! And in the end I only had 2 little strips left! And I created all 7 cards in about 20 minutes! Yay! I have a video tutorial at the end of this post so make sure you check it out!
  
  I started by cutting up some pieces of patterned paper – some had little images (like pictured above) and some into strips of varying widths. I didn’t follow any sketches, but these are super basic layouts that can be easily replicated!
  
  I needed a sentiment for some of the layouts and the “Happy Holidays” sentiment from the Stocking Full of Joy stamp set seemed perfect! I love the little script!
  
  I had a bunch of strips of paper left over, so I decided to use them to create one more card! Plus I couldn’t let that little Santa image go unused!
  
  Thanks for joining me!

- Underwater Patterned Paper Card

  Hey, everyone! It’s Lynnea and I’m using some products from the Scrapping for Less store today to create an easy underwater scene using ink blending and patterned papers! And there’s a video, too! So be sure to watch!
  
  I LOVE the Scrapberry Ocean Enchantment paper pack and I was really drawn to one pattern in particular. It had a bunch of tone on tone yellow fish in all different sizes! I decided to fussy cut a bunch of the fish and let them be the star of the show! They needed an ocean background and I don’t have a waves stencil, so I flipped inked my Clouds stencil from Pink & Main from the bottom instead of the top and it made a perfect wavy ink blended background! I added a bit of shimmer with my Spectrum Noir clear shimmer pen and a white heat embossed sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Critters Ever After stamp set.
  
  As a finishing touch to my background I added some clear enamel dots. I love how they look like bubbles! Thanks so much for joining me!
