    • Sneak Peek Week: Thursday!

      Hello, hello!

      Kim here from @cardmakingblonde here today wishing you Fall Blessings!

      Here in Florida we have seen temps dipping into the 80’s so Fall has officially arrived! We joke about it but if you are either from here or if you’ve lived here long enough there really is a change in the feel and smell of the air that tells you Fall is here. I still wish we had the changing leaves but alas, you can’t have it all right?

      I’m thrilled to be sharing a sneak peek from SFL’s Flavor of the Month September 2020 card kit: Orchards and Patches. Using the stencil from the Banana Split ingredients and elements out of collection two: Apple Orchard Pickin’ I created the card below.

      Here’s the run down on how this card came together:

      -stenciled the apples with distress oxide inks using a sponge dauber for the apple and cotton swabs for the leaf and twig

      -held stencil and paper together with Wendy Vecchi MAKE ART Stay-tion-All-In-One Magnetic Surface (I LOVE this tool and find myself using stencils more frequently now that I have it.)

      -used Bristol Smooth paper which the Distress Oxide inks go on like a dream

      -created a background with the apples then used an aqua shimmer pen by Nuvo to add some glimmer

      -the sentiment in the center is from the paper in the Apple Orchard Pickin’ collection, there is a sheet of cut aparts

      -popped that sentiment up with foam adhesive

      -used the twine also included in the collection to wrap around the card and add a bow before gluing the panel down to the card base

      There will be one more sneak peek tomorrow and then the BLOG HOP! I look forward to seeing what the rest of the design team came up with. You have two ways to get your Flavor of the Month card kit.

      1. Sign up for a subscription now so you don’t have to worry about a sell out
      2. Wait for the kit to reveal at midnight EST on September 26th and grab a one time purchase (this one is a little risky but no judgement if you enjoy living on the edge a little ha, ha!)

      Thank you so much for joining me here on the blog today for this sneak peek! I look forward to seeing you at the hop and hope you are enjoying a nice Fall so far!

      Just keep creating,

      Kim šŸ™‚

    • Summer Daisies Paper Pad ~ Post It Note Holder

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Aug 30th
      Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a fun swap that I made for fellow design team member Stacy using the beautiful Summer Daisies paper pad that was recently released at Scrapping for Less. I combined the papers with some other products in my stash…
      let’s have a look!
      I started with a cereal box… yup! You read that right. I cut all of my pieces for the post it note holder from the cereal box first. Here’s a link to the tutorial I used… Easy Note Pad Holder Book.
      I used the cereal box in place of the chipboard coasters mentioned in the tutorial.
      I covered the cereal box pieces with pretty polka dot papers from Stampin’ Up and then used the gorgeous Summer Daisies from SFL to decorate and embellish the other pieces. The beautiful ribbon is from Papertrey Ink… seriously a mash up of products from my stash! The daisy is one of my digital stamps available at Polka Dot Orchard… called Whoops a Daisy. I printed it out, colored it with a few copic markers {C00, C1, C2, Y11, Y13, Y35, YG11} and then fussy cut it. I couldn’t find quite the right sentiment, so I just printed this one off from my computer on card stock and fussy cut it.
      The side view… I only had a couple post it note pads in coordinating colors.
      This holder could hold a lot of post it notes!
      The inside… isn’t it cute?! I’ve had that mini pen from the Dollar Spot at Target for years… it works perfectly with this holder!
      To clean up the edges of my patterned papers I used a sanding block that I’ve had in my stash forever. I believe it’s from Stampin’ Up as well.
      That’s it! It was so fun to create something to send off to a crafty friend!
      I definitely need to make more of these!
      Check out all the new fabulous paper pads recently released at SFL here… New Paper Pads!!
      This paper hoarder has to have them all! Lol..
      Thanks so much for stopping by!
      See ya next time.
      Inky Hugs,
      Crystal

    • Have A Red Christmas from SFL!

      Posted at 9:00 am by kimmyfsmithyahoocom
      Aug 20th

      Hello my fellow crafters, I am so glad you are here today! I cannot believe we are so close to September and before we know it we’ll all be staring down Christmas wondering where the time went. Scrapping For Less has been creating beautiful paper pads and one of the newest ones is “A Red Christmas” and it’s a must have!

      The card above shows off several of the sheets from the “A Red Christmas” paper pad. I just couldn’t bring myself to cover up the ornaments on that main middle panel which is why I went with die cutting the sentiment and letting that be the focal point. Originally cut out in kraft paper it wasn’t showing up enough for my taste so out came Nuvo drops in white to make sure the sentiment would stand out. Also added some dots to the little tab at the top right.

      Below is a pic of all the recently released paper pads. Grab yours before they’re gone!

      Thank you for stopping in today. I wish you time for yourself this week to do whatever makes your heart happy.

      Just keep creating,

      Kim šŸ™‚

    • Toucan Do Anything!

      Aug 6th

      Hello crafters, so glad you are here!

      There are times that life just gets in the way…recently my hubby and I bought a house and moved. Three weeks ago to be exact and as it so often does, my craft room was the last room in the house to get any attention. Not for lack of love, that’s for sure but no matter what is going on in life we all have to eat, bathe (hopefully frequently, ha!) and sleep so my craft room is still in disarray.

      I tell you all of this to make a point…I was able to grab my kit and a few minimal supplies: stamp tool, trimmer, liquid glue and scissors and still come up with a super cute card to give a friend in need of encouragement. Hopefully this little story will encourage you to make some time for yourself even if your supplies are minimal and life is taking over your space and your time.

      July’s Flavor of the Month kit sold out (yay!). If you would like to ensure that you get next month’s kit sign up for a subscription that way you won’t miss a thing!

      Thanks so much for coming to the blog today, I hope you find some time for yourself and get to do that thing you love doing!

      Just keep creating,

      Kim šŸ™‚

    • Best Mates from La La Land Crafts

      Posted at 9:00 am by kimmyfsmithyahoocom
      Jul 2nd

      Ahoy There!

      Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde and I am super excited to be sharing these cuties from La La Land’s “Best Mates” stamp set with you today! I have been eyeing this stamp set for soooo long, I kept talking myself out of it and then the SFL Let’s Get Nautical paper pad was released. I could no longer hold off, I HAD to have them both as they are perfect for each other.

      I colored up these little guys using Copic markers. I shaded where I could and for the teeny tiny areas I just focused on staying inside the area. This is my first slimline card and it was so much fun. I felt like I had more room to play with and create a scene. I used a waves die to create the waves and then inked them up with Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass. For the sand part I almost used paper but then remembered I had some sand embossing powder and I just could not be stopped at that point!

      I am loving how this Slimline card turned out and if you have not made your first one yet don’t be intimidated. The measurement for the card base is 8.5 inches x 7 inches, then on the 7 inch side score at 3.5 inches. Okay that’s me for today. I have included the direct links to the items I used while creating today’s card.

      Thank you so much for stopping by to day, please leave a comment and have a great rest of your day!

      Just keep crafting,

      Kim šŸ™‚

    • Sneak Peek Week! Weather Together

      Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
      May 28th

      Hi All!

      Oh my goodness are you in for a treat!

      May’s Flavor of the Month card kit is just beautiful. From the paper to the extras in the Banana Split card kit so many items perfect for creating encouragement cards. I chose to feature the Weather Together collection because I LOVE rainbows! The paper speaks to my childhood memories and the sentiments are just what I am wanting to say to my friends and family at this time.

       

      sfl05282020

      Starting out with Bristol Smooth cardstock and using Distress Oxide Inks in Weathered Wood & Stormy Sky to create the clouds with the stencil included in May’s Banana Split card kit. I created the image in the center of the card in the following order. (I have to talk myself through this every time I do it.) Because I wanted the cloud to show completely it was stamped first, then masked off, next the rainbow was stamped then masked off. The last step was to stamp the sun. Using Zig Clean Color Markers I colored in all the images. I then almost ruined this one layer card by deciding to add Spectrum Noir Sparkle Marker and forgetting that the Zig markers are activated by water. Thankfully I realized it early on and avoiding some strong language in the craft room, ha ha ha! The sentiment was embossed with Navy embossing powder. Cut out the main scene with a stitched rectangle die and placed on a card front size patterned paper from the Weather Together patterned paper.Ā 

      We have one more sneak peek before the release of the entire card kit so don’t miss out and if you want to ensure getting your hands on May’s Flavor of the card kit sign up here for a subscription. (Last month’s kits sold out.) Thanks so much for visiting us today on the blog. We look forward to seeing you for the hop this weekend. The blog hop goes live Saturday, May 30th at Midnight EST.

      Keep on crafting,

      Kim šŸ™‚

      Well Howdy!

      Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde coming to you today with a lil’ sneak peek from April’s Flavor of the Month card kit! These little buckaroos are from Sunny Studio Stamps, they are so much fun to color. I had so many ideas it was hard to settle on just one.

       

      sflblog4232020

      I used copic markers to create the sky and grass. Not sure it will show up well in the pic but I added some shine to his hat and both of their buckles. For the denim tag I added “pardner” with a white Signo pen. The patterns you see in the background behind the card are pages from the kit. I can’t wait to make more cards!Ā 

      Quick Reminder: Kit goes live on Saturday April 25th at midnight. Click here to subscribe so you don’t miss a kit!

      Thanks so much for stopping in and I look forward to hearing from you during the hop. Take care and keep on crafting,

    • More Fun with Farmhouse Floral

      Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
      Apr 9th

      Hello crafty friends!

      Kim from Cardmaking Blonde joining you, I hope today finds you well. Playing with March’s Flavor of the Month Card kit has been so much fun! The ingredients that I received in the Farmhouse Floral collection have been OBLITERATED! The only thing left is the stamp.

      Here is what I came up with…

       

      sflblog04092020e
      sflblog04092020d
      sflblog04092020c
      sflblog04092020b
      sflblog04092020
      You may notice that I also used the banana split ingredients. My kit had the leaf vine die which I used to cut out of vellum and then colored that vellum with Copic Marker to go with the paper I used. Also used some sequins and enamel dots. The tag above is actually an entire card (didn’t occur to me until right now to take a pic of it opened so you could see it better).

      If I could I would turn this paper into bed sheets I think it is so beautiful, I just don’t get tired of looking at it! Thank you for taking the time to visit the blog today. I hope you are getting to craft, read or something that makes you happy. Also try to get outside for a bit as well if you can.

      Take care,

      Kim šŸ™‚
