  Winter Fairies by SFL!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Jan 9th

  

  Hi crafty friends! Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde with a fairy fun shaker card to show off SFL’s new release! (Sorry I couldn’t help myself.) Shaker cards are fun, versatile and add a little something out of your ordinary everyday card. Over the years I have watched many videos of how to make them, different methods and tricks. Every time I sit down to make a shaker card I feel like I’m learning for the first time. I will say this card might be the one I had the least amount of trouble with but please note the trouble is mine not in the technique itself. It’s actually a very simple process I just struggle with it for some strange reason. I have to take each step slowly so that I don’t glue the wrong pieces together.  I was so happy with the way it turned out!

  Here’s a quick run down of what I did:

  • stamped sentiment on the clear acetate sheet  (after hitting it with an Embossing Magic Pad so the embossing powder wouldn’t cling where I didn’t want it to) with VersaFine black onyx ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder
  • the image from Winter Fairies by SFLwas stamped with Memento black ink then was colored with Prismacolor pencils & maybe Derwent inktense pencils (I keep them in the same case and when I’m coloring I am usually just looking for the right color not which brand)
  • fussy cutted out the image and then went around the edges with a Memento marker in black ink (gives it a finished look even if your edges are a little rough)
  • blinged it up a little with Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen on the moon, her hat and wings (not sure you’ll be able to see it though)
  • the sequins are from my stash and went perfectly with the paper I was using from the Winter in Pink 6×6 paper pad from SFL
  • used Couture Creations 3D Foam Strips-white to create the shaker space (these worked like a dream! and I credit them for making the process much smoother for me this go round)
  •  used a scallop circle frame die to create the shaker window

  I was thrilled with the way it turned out and I am well on my way to using ALL the sentiments between the Winter Fairies stamp set & the Fairy House stamp set!  

  

  

  

  Above I’ve included the links on the pics for the individual products or you can click the pic below where I’ve included the link to get the bundle.

  

  Thank you so much for stopping in today and checking out the blog! Take some time and look around the other design team members have done some really great work with this release. No such thing as too much inspiration right?

  Keep on Crafting!

  Kim 🙂

  Heat Embossing with Picket Fence Studios String of Lights

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Oct 2nd

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here with a few cards using the Picket Fence Studios “String of Lights” stamp set.

  I love how simple yet lovely these cards were!

  To start I picked out A2 size card bases from my stash, cut down white cardstock panels to 4 X 5 1/4 inches.  Then I  stamped the images and sentiment together using my Mini Misti and Brutus Monroe embossing ink. I picked red, silver, gold, and green embossing powders and heat embossed them.  I adhered the card panels to the card bases. Then I simply added some embellishments for one I used sequins from an old SFL FOTM card kit and the rest I used Nuvo Crystal Nuvo Drops, the colors I used were Autumn Red and Silver Lining. Easy Peasy right!

• Two Minute Shaker Card Using The September Flavor Of The Month Card Kit

  Posted at 8:00 am by infoscrappingforless

  Oct 6th

  Hello! It’s Jenn from Scrapbena Creations on YouTube. I am back with another Design Team project. Today, I am making a quick shaker card using some of the contents found in the September Flavor of the Month Card Kit called Happy Fall Y’All! This card is easy to recreate and would make an elegant Thanksgiving card for friends or family.

  

  I used one of the pattern papers from the Prima Amber Moon collection. This paper was so soft and pretty that it did not need any fussiness added. I cut out the pattern paper using the Lawn Fawn Reverse Stitched Circle die. Added some acetate and foam tape to the back and loaded it up with a variety of sequins from the kit. My Banana Split level contained the word die “Thankful” by Spellbinders. I used some gold foil paper from my stash to cut it out and placed it in the centre of the shaker window.

  To see how I created this card, click on the video below:

  Have a fantastic day and happy crafting!

• 30 Cards from July’s Card Kit

  Posted at 9:00 am by Stacy Tiedemann

  Aug 4th
  

  Hi Everyone, it’s Stacy here from Craftaholicmomma up on the Scrapping for Less blog.  Today I have lots to share with you.  In fact I have 30 cards to share with you.  I was able to get back into my groove of obliterating the card kits to see how many cards I could get from it.  I was “Up North” (northern Minnesota) on vacation when I had a chance to play with this kit.  I was only able to bring a small amount of supplies so I was not able to use any of the dies or embossing folder as I didn’t want to lug my heavy big shot with me.  I did bring my Brother Scan N Cut as I thought I would have more versatility with that.

  So while my husband, my father in law and my nephew were out on the lake fishing every night, I sat at the table and crafted, making cards.  I hope you like them and find inspiration.

  Hello, Tanya from Crafting on Caffeine here.  I have a Planner Layout to share with you today. I used “extras” from this months Flavor of the Month Card kit! Theme is Birthday.

  

  Even though it’s a planner you can still add dimension.  Sequins are great for just that!

  Hope you enjoy. And hope you got your kit before they are gone!

• Stacy’s At the Beach Sneak Peek

  Posted at 8:58 pm by Stacy Tiedemann

  Jun 25th

  Hello!  Happy 1st day of Sneak Peeks!

  Today I have a card I made using Collection 3 of the At the Beach June Flavor of the Month Card Kit from Scrapping for Less.

  These puffy stickers are beyond ADORBS!!!  Plus they go perfectly with the pattern paper that was chosen for this collection.  I don’t want to give too much away but one thing I can say is, “You are going to LOVE this kit!”

  So if you haven’t signed up for a monthly subscription (at a fantastic discounted price) then be sure to rush over to the Flavor of the Month page.  By signing up for a subscription is the only way to insure that you get a kit.  They tend to sell out fast.

  Now onto my card.  I used my Stitched Circle Dies from Gina Marie Designs to cut out a circle and offset it in the lower righthand corner of my card.  I also cut the same circle out of some wavy striped pattern paper from the collection that reminded me of sandy hills on the beach.  I glued on some of the sequins that come in the kit and added some Glossy Accents dots to resemble water droplets.  I think it turned out super cute!  I can’t wait for you to see the kit, so make sure you check back each day to see what the Design Team has done for you with their Sneak Peek projects.

  

  

  

  The full reveal of the kit will be this Saturday, June 30th at 12:00 am EST.
  We hope to see you then and hop along with us.
  Thanks for visiting,

  Stacy

• Brand Focus for September: Neat and Tangled

  Posted at 11:00 am by infoscrappingforless

  Sep 1st

  

  I recently had an email chat with Danielle the owner of Neat and Tangled to get a bit of insight into the company. Sit back, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy what Danielle has to tell us all about the Neat and Tangled company.

  Q: Can you share the story of how Neat and Tangled was born? 

  A: Neat and Tangled was actually my husband’s idea!  After our second child was born, I had gotten pretty big into stamping and cardmaking. Over dinner one night we were talking about our financial situation, I was a stay at home mom, and I would probably need to return to work. I had said that I wished there was some way to turn the hobby I loved so much, into a business so I could continue to stay home with the kids and do something that really excited me. He very casually suggested, “Well, why don’t you try to make your own stamps?”. I took his suggestion and immediately got to work! It is so hard to believe it has already been 5 years!

  Q: Is there a back story behind your companies name?

  A: Yes! Neat and Tangled was originally my Etsy shop. I had opened it to sell little stuffed amigurumi toys I crocheted. I found it so beautiful how crochet was really a series of creating loops and tangles, but the end result could be so precise and neat. So Neat and Tangled seemed like a great way to describe what I was doing! It also perfectly describes life, which can sometimes be a little crazy, and other times really together! It was the name of my blog too, so I just carried it into the business.

  Q: What is your favorite type of craft?

  A: I love paper crafting, particularly cardmaking, since it is small scale and I can complete a project relatively quickly. Although I can be a slow cardmaker so sometimes a single card can easily take me a few hours.  I also love to crochet, although I have trouble finding the time for it lately!

  Q:Who is the designer of the stamps for your company?

  A: There are three of us that design products. Myself, Miriam Prantner, and Elena Roussakis.  It’s really wonderful to work with them, as we all have our own styles and that allows us to provide a great variety of products!

  Q:Is there a stamp in your collection that is your favorite? Why?

  A: It’s so hard to pick a favorite! But I think I would have to say currently it’s a tie between our Awesome and Bloom stamp sets. Awesome is one that has a great mix of sentiments that work for all occasions! It also has coordinating dies to make it even more fun! And I love the flowers and message of the sentiments in Bloom. This will surely be changing as I know we’ve got some really fun designs coming out soon!

  Q:Where does the inspiration come from for the stamp designs?

  A: For myself, I find inspiration in clothing, especially children’s clothing, Probably because with 3 kids I look at it so much when I’m doing never ending piles of laundry!  I also look to fabric a lot for patterns. And I LOVE hand lettering, so artists that I follow are always a great source!

  Q:Are there any new items you can let us in on…maybe something no one else knows?

  A: We have some really amazing new products coming down the line this year! Here are a few peeks of what’s coming to you for September!

  Q: How large is the Neat and Tangled family (company)?

  A: Neat and Tangled is still a very tight knit operation. It started with just myself doing it all from stamp design, to order fulfillment and everything in between! But as it grew I needed some help. That is when I brought on Miriam as another product designer, and my husband took over order fulfillment. He works full-time by day, and is packer extraordinaire by night!  I really hit the jackpot with him! Since then Elena has joined us as a product designer, Sarah who handles all of our customer service, and Marla that helps with product. We also have our incredibly talented design team that make our products shine! And our kids also love to lend a hand anyway they can! I am so grateful to be surrounded by a truly wonderful group of people!

  Q:Can you let our customers know what your release schedule is so we can all be on top of when to expect new goodies from Neat and Tangled?

  A: We have a new release the first full week of every month with the exception of December. We like to give ourselves, and the design team the month off to relax, and enjoy the holiday season!
