• Winter Fun with A Gnome Winter by Picket Fence Studios

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Oct 30th

  Hi Everybody! Kim here and today I am using A Winter Gnome by Picket Fences which brings cuteness with just a face. I don’t know how they have managed to accomplish this but I’ll take it because this little gnome head is just adorable and without even seeing his eyes he screams Winter! I knew when I pulled this stamp set out to play with…er I mean work with it that I definitely wanted to use Kraft cardstock. I also wanted his beard to be very white and I thought the Kraft cardstock would work well for this. Originally I was going to adhere the naked trees down on top of Kraft paper but while making another card with Carta Bella’s Christmas 6×6 paper pad the snowflakes on top of woodgrain sheet caught my eye and I thought those trees would look perfect on top of that paper instead.

  

  I heat embossed the image on Kraft cardstock with detailed white embossing powder after stamping the image with Versa Mark ink. Blues of course work for winter, I was going for an ombre effect so I started with Navy and worked up with lighter blues by section. Coloring with Derwent Inktense pencils I guess I just forgot that they don’t resist water in any way and thought I could wipe the color off the white embossed areas with a baby wipe but that did NOT work the way it did in my head. So I ended up fussy cutting the image out and using a label punch to punch out the sentiment.

  

  Instead of the white embossing powder which I had already embossed by the way resisting the blue it looks like it just absorbed it. Not what I was going for but it certainly became what I was going with (insert wink emoji here). After adding some sequins with Multi Medium Matte I then used a white Signo pen to trace over some of the details in the gnome’s hat to make them look whiter. I also decided that his beard needed some of that white Signo pen treatment as well. All in all I am happy with this card and per usual seeing about a dozen other ways I would like to use this stamp set.

  

  Thank you so much for checking out the blog today, I hope you take some time for yourself and get crafty.

  Keep on crafting,

  Kim 🙂

  • Adhered it all down with Lawn Fawn glue tube

  Avery Elle Mint and Gold Christmas

  Posted at 8:00 am by Lynnea Hollendonner

  Sep 22nd

  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!

  Wild Animals, Distress Oxides, and Doodle Pops, Oh My!

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Aug 7th

  

  Be sure to check out the video HERE!

  

  Both of these are A2 size cards or 4 1/4 in. X 5 1/2 in. and both card bases are from my stash.

  For the first card, I used the “Wild Animals Paper Pad” and used the sheet as a panel that was cut to 4 in. X 5 1/4 in. I colored the chameleon and flower with Studio 71 alcohol markers and used my Scan N Cut to cut the images out. I cut out a circle with a stitched circle die and then put it on overlapping the panel and cut off the end. I used the same paper as the circle to heat emboss the sentiment, and I popped up both the chameleon and sentiment.  On the inside of the card, I added another sentiment from the stamp set that said: “Don’t ever change”.  I used the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen on the chameleon image.

  

  For the next card, I blended Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover, and Peeled Paint, over the Palm Leaf stencil and a piece of the pattern paper from the “Wild Animals” paper pad. I love how it turned out! I cut it down to 4 in. X 5 1/4 in. I stamped the sentiments from the stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Popped on the Doodle Pop Koala and used a few sequins from a previous FOTM kit.

  Pretty Little Dragons and Rainbows

  Posted at 1:17 am by Lynnea Hollendonner

  May 28th

  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!

  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

  Posted at 9:00 am by Lynnea Hollendonner

  May 5th

  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!

  Heat Embossed Background with the Countryside May 2018 FOTM Card Kit

  Posted at 9:00 am by Lynnea Hollendonner

  Feb 10th

  Hi, there! I created a card using a past kit from Scrapping for Less today! I love the May 2018 kit so much that I went and bought it! It’s called Countryside and there’s still some left (and they’re on sale!). This kit has multiple stamp sets that are exclusive to this SFL kit and you can’t get them anywhere else! How awesome is that! I used products from collection 1 including an exclusive stamp set from Brutus Monroe! And there’s a video at the end of this post so make sure you scroll all the way down!

  

  The exclusive Brutus Monroe stamp set has 4 different images that look like what you’d see on an old time farm sign! I love white heat embossing on red paper, so I did that for my background for this card. But I think these stamps would look SO cool stamped on kraft with a brown embossing powder with distressed edges! Just like an old time farm sign! Anyway…. I decided to use the white embossing on red paper from the kit. I used my MISTI so that I could stamp all 4 images at once with Versamark ink.

  

  Once my background was stamped and embossed I grabbed a piece of patterned paper and trimmed off one of the scenes and used tape runner adhesive to glue it down to the bottom third of my background. I love the empherma piece that says “farm house, sweet farm house” and I wanted to use that as my accent piece. I’ll be sending this to card to my mom. My parents raise chickens for their eggs and any time my friends go up to their house they call it a farm and my mom gets a kick out of it! I know she’ll love that sentiment!

  

  I thought that the sentiment piece blended in with the scene on the strip of patterned paper. No problem at all! Here’s the trick I always do – I glued the accent piece onto a piece of white cardstock and trimmed around it with my scissors leaving a small white border – just like you would when you fussy cut stamps! Now the piece stands out! You can watch the process for this card below!
