- Christmas All Year Long – My Favorite Things Beast Friends

  Hey, everyone! It’s Christmas All Year Long at Scrapping for Less and I have some fun inspiration for you using the My Favorite Things Beast Friend stamp set. This was one of my first stamp sets from My Favorite Things and it’s still one of my favorites!
  
  I stamped and colored the little yeti holding the string of lights from the Beast Friends stamp set with my Copics. My favorite way to color these guys is with light Neutral Gray Copic markers and skin tones for his face and ears. I grabbed some Distress Inks and started blending ink onto a background panel. I only used Crushed Olive, but because I didn’t clean off my blender brush the inside blending is a different shade of green. I quite like it when I stumble upon happy accidents!
  
  Once the ink blended background was completely dry I white heat embossed the three trees from the Beast Friends stamp set repeatedly across my card. I was going to leave it this way, but I decided to add a bit of shine with a gold ink from the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors watercolor palette. I’m so glad I did! To match the gold watercoloring I heat embossed a gold sentiment onto a strip, popped up my sentiment and yeti, and added some gold glittery enamel dots around the card.
  
  I love how the gold and green play off each other, don’t you?! Thanks for joining me! I hope you’re inspired to break out your Christmas supplies and get crafty!

- Soft Heat Embossed Lilac Snowflakes

  I just can’t wait for the first snow to fall! Where I live it’s not uncommon to have a dusting or two before Halloween!
  
  This card is the result of a happy accident – but I love the look! I sprayed the back of the Echo Park Magical Snowfall Stencil a little too heavily with Pixie Spray and I didn’t wait long enough for the spray to dry before adding it to my cardstock. I pressed Versamark ink over the stencil and when I removed it and added my Lilac Pearl embossing powder the powder actually stuck to the background. I LOVE it! I think it looks like the soft flurries of snow that picks up and blows around in the wind!
  
  The little snowman is from the Avery Elle Christmas Magic stamp set. I wanted him to match my heat embossed background, so I used some BV Copic Markers to color his hat and scarf. The sentiment is from the Sunny Studio Stamps Bundled Up stamp set. I thought it fit this card perfectly!
  
  I added all of my die cut elements onto my card and finished it off with some string tied in a bow. Head over to the Scrapping for Less store to find these products and more for your Holiday cards!

  How fabulous is this peek into the October 2019 kit?! I am so in love with the plaid patterned paper! And that Christmas tree is AMAZING!! And can we just talk about the font on the sentiment? Gah!

- Bundled Up Circle Card

  Christmas is in full swing at Scrapping for Less! And it truly will be here before you know it!
  
  I’m a lover of classic Christmas colors! – red, green, gold! Gorgeous! I ink blended some Candied Apple Distress Ink onto a piece of cardstock keeping the ink darker towards the center and lighter towards the outside. I used a slightly darker color of ink – Fired Brick – and stenciled the Echo Park Magical Snowfall Stencil over the ink blending and die cut the panel with a stitched circle die. I thought the background needed something more, so I flicked on some metallic gold watercolor.
  
  I super love the Bundled Up stamp set from Sunny Studio Stamps because you can build your own penguin! I stamped the penguin and a bunch of accessories and colored them with classic Christmas colored Copic markers and trimmed them out with my scissors and added them to my die cut circle and stamped a sentiment under the penguin. I wanted to add a little more gold to my card, so I die cut a foiled piece of cardstock with a slightly larger die cut circle and added it to a circle card base. Check out the video above to see how I made that!
  
  This card has so much shine! And I love the subtle snowflakes in the background! Thanks for stopping by!

- September 2019 FOTM 5 Cards 1 Kit (plus a few more!)

  Hello! It’s time for my monthly Scrapping for Less Flavor of the Month five cards one kit video! Because of product issues this video is a bit late this month, so I tried to make up for it by creating some extra cards with the kit this month! Instead of my usual five cards I’m sharing EIGHT!
  
  Fall is one of my favorite seasons – it comes in close behind winter – and the products in this kit were so inspiring that I couldn’t help but to create more and give you extra inspiration!
  
  The papers in the first collection are ADORABLE! The pumpkin patch patterned paper is my FAVORITE! I created an easy framed scene with the cute kid cardstock pieces and a simple shaker card with the stamp set!
  
  Sweater weather is the name of the game for the second collection! I used some of the stickers and patterned papers to create a simple banner card and I used repeat stamping to create an almost one layer stamped card.
  
  Okay. Let’s be honest. THESE CARDS ARE MY FAVORITE!!! They scream fall and cool and comfy sweater weather! I die cut some of the patterned paper and pieced them onto ink blended backgrounds! So easy but really packs a punch!
  
  The little moose in the fourth collection is the most adorable thing in the world! I sure wish we had moose where I live! I paired him with a die cut sentiment included in the Banana Split level kit!
  
  To finish off the kit I used the stamp set in the Banana Split kit to create another almost one layer card! Watch the video at the beginning of this post to see how easy it was to create those clouds! And let me know in the comments which card is your favorite! See you soon!

- Soft Stenciled Snowflakes

  Hi everyone! I’m a lover of classic Christmas colors – but every now and then I feel the urge to create with soft pastel colors!
  
  This card is very easy to create and even to mass produce if you want! I started with a piece of light pink cardstock that I die cut with a stitched rectangle die. I sprayed the back of the Echo Park Magical Snowfall Stencil with some Pixie Spray and and pounced on some white pigment ink over the stencil. I love the look of the soft white on the pastel pink! If you wanted to have crisp white snowflakes you could use Versamark Ink and white embossing powder – but I like the look of the soft snowflakes.
  
  I die cut a large snowflake from some gold foiled cardstock to use as my center piece and added some coiled silver thread for added interest. My sentiment is from the Avery Elle Christmas Magic stamp set and I heat embossed it with gold powder to match the snowflake die cut. And that’s it! See what I mean! Super easy! Thanks for joining me!

  Hi! Can you believe Christmas is a mere 3 months away!? Crazy, right! I used some mint and gold patterned papers from my stash and the Avery Elle Christmas Magic stamp set to create a super cute Christmas card!
  
  This card is super easy to recreate! I started by stamping the lamp, holly, snowman, and unicorn from the Avery Elle Christmas Magic stamp set and colored them with my Copic markers. I trimmed them out with scissors leaving a small white border.
  
  I needed a perfect background for my images, so I grabbed some mint patterned papers from my stash and cut them with Pink & Main Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped a sentiment and snowflakes with black ink onto the heart patterned paper.
  
  I added my cute images with foam squares and that finishes my card! Thanks for stopping by!

- Pinkfresh Studio Autumn Colored Fancy Blooms

  Don’t you just love the colors of Autumn?! I do! And I love coloring floral images with yellow and orange to make a fall bouquet!
  
  I stamped out one of the bouquets from the Pinkfresh Studio Fancy Blooms stamp set and used Copic markers to color in the image. I used R08, YR09, and YR07 for the orange flower. The yellow flower I used YR04, Y17, and Y15. The leaves are BG78 and BG75 and the brown sprigs are E79 and E74.
  
  I cut out a few of my favorite patterns from the Lawn Fawn Fall Knit Picky paper pad with stitched dies and adhered them to a card front. I trimmed out my colored bouquet and added it to the stitched oval with foam squares. I stamped the sentiment from the Sunny Studio Stamps Beautiful Autumn stamp set onto a strip of patterned paper with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink and added it on top of my bouquet.
  
  I added a bit of shimmer to my bouquet with Liquid Pixie Dust to finish the card! Thanks for stopping by today!

- Little Pumpkin Sticker Scene

  Hi! Can I just say how EXCITED I am that’s it’s socially acceptable to create and send fall themed cards?! Haha! I feel like everyone swoons over summer and beaches and now it’s my time! YAY! Sit back and relax as the Scrapping for Less design team shares all about fall projects this month!
  
  I die cut the Foursquare Backdrop die from Lawn Fawn from four patterns of paper in the Lawn Fawn Fall Knit Picky paper pad as well as white cardstock for the frame. I glued the white frame to an A2 card and puzzle pieced in the patterned paper rectangles.
  
  I wanted to use the Sticko Autumn Pumpkin stickers as my focal point images, but I’m just not fond of the look of stickers stuck onto a card. I love the ease of stickers! No coloring, shading and depth is already there … but I always feel like there’s something missing. And that something is a white border! So I added a bunch of the Autumn Pumpkin stickers onto white cardstock and trimmed around them just like I would with a stamped image and adhered them to my card.
  
  I added a stamped sentiment from the Sunny Studio Beautiful Autumn Stamp set with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink and embellished the card with Ripened Pumpkin Nuvo Crystal Drops.
