       Hello crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one last sneak peek for the November 2020 FOTM card kit!!! And it’s kind of bittersweet as it’s the last ever sneak peek for the last Scrapping for Less card kit. *sigh* But… rest assured that this kit will not disappoint!! As with all other card kits prior to this one… it’s absolutely awesome!! Enough with the chit chat… let’s check out my sneak!

      It was hard to choose which ephemera piece to feature on my card… but this gorgeous floral is, well… gorgeous!! This card features products from Collection Four and I used the current sketch over at Poetic Artistry’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge. It was the perfect sketch for this collection!
      Isn’t the font on that sentiment just lovely?! I love it!
      You can check out my process video for this card… here!

      That’s it for me!

    • Fall Inspired Create-a-Dex Cards ~ Sweater Weather

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Nov 13th
      Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple Fall inspired Memory Dex cards using the newly released Scallop Flower Create-a-Dex die set from Scrapping for Less along with a few other fun products from the shop!
      How cute are these?! I used the pretty Always Changing papers for these sweet Memory Dex cards with the Autumn Blessings die and the Sweater Weather stamp set. Now, I’ve shared a few different cards using the Autumn Blessings die… I love the beautiful font in this die!! Check out my Cozy Fall card, my Let’s Bundle Up card, and my Fall is Coming card for more inspiration with these products.
      A closer look at the Fall Sweet Fall memory dex card… I love the colors in these papers! I used the following copic markers on this card ~ YG03, YR12, YR16, BG0000, BG01, BG11, BG23.
      I have a little video sharing the coloring and assembling of this card. You can check that out here…

      And a closer look at my second memory dex card using the Autumn Blessings die and I created a pretty Fall flower using the stitched flower that’s included in the Scallop Flower Create-a-Dex die set. I die cut the flower three times and using my bone folder I rounded the petals a bit. The brad that I added in the center of the flower is from my stash… I’m actually not sure where it’s from.
      I finished off the memory dex card with a few orange enamel dots from Carta Bella’s Fall Break collection. I just love how these turned out!! That’s it for me this week… I’ll see you next week with my sneak peek for the November FOTM card kit!!
      Thanks so much for stopping by!
      See ya next time.
      Inky hugs,
      Crystal

    • Summer Themed Memory Dex Cards

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Oct 21st

       Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie and today I’m sharing a few Summer themed memory dex cards that I’ve created for my spinner to keep track of the birthdays in my life, be it family or friend. I’ve been struggling this year with sending out birthday cards… not sure if it’s just a 2020 thing, but I got to thinking that it sure would be handy to have a way to keep track of those birthdays in a more efficient way.

      So I happened to have some Summer themed papers on my desk and I got to thinking that I’d just start with those!! I also had the new fabulous Barn Create-A-Dex die on my desk… so naturally, I used it!! I started by die cutting the stitched barn die from the pretty papers. I used a piece from the Strawberry Fields paper pad, the Rustic Watermelon paper pad, and the Golden Beach paper pad. And then I also pulled out my ephemera pieces… Strawberry Fields ephemera and Rustic Watermelon ephemera (looks like that is sold out). I didn’t have any Golden Beach ephemera so I just cut a bunch of images out of two different patterned papers. I just love how easy these cards came together.
      Let’s have a closer look…
      I used a red card stock from my stash for the memory dex card base. I adhered the beautiful Strawberry Field patterned paper that I had die cut with the stitched barn die. Then I adhered the leaves and jam jar ephemera pieces. I popped up the strawberry ephemera piece with foam squares and then I just trimmed June from an old calendar set that I had from a couple of years ago. I mat it on the same red card stock and adhered it to the card. I wanted to add a bit of ribbon and decided to just punch a couple holes in the card and tie the bow through there… it was pretty easy. I’m going to die cut another piece of red card stock with the base die and adhere it to the back just to make the whole card a little more stable.
      I also added a little Nuvo aqua shimmer to the strawberry ephemera piece. You can see a little bit of the sparkle in this photo.
      For my July memory dex card, I die cut a base of black card stock and then adhered the pretty Rustic Watermelon patterned paper. I also die cut the red heart from that same paper (it’s the other side of the double sided patterned paper). I covered up the black hole with the cute ephemera pieces and the red patterned paper heart. I also punched a couple holes in the card and added a bit of white baker’s twine. And to finish this one off, I added a few white enamel dots… oh, and a little sparkle to the watermelon slice in the gnomes hand with the Nuvo aqua shimmer pen. I’m also going make this one a bit more sturdy by die cutting another black base.
      And my last card… which just may be my favorite! My base for this one uses my all time favorite card stock… Tempting Turquoise. I adhered the pretty star fish patterned paper from the Golden Beach paper pad to the base and adhered the bikini, life preserver, and sunblock bottle directly to the card. I then popped up the flip flops and seashell. I mat ‘August’ with the same turquoise card stock and adhered it to the card.
      I also added some shimmer to the flip flops and the seashell. I wish it showed up better in the photos. So now I have three memory dex cards done!! Woo hoo! I think I’ll do the Fall months using papers from the September 2020 FOTM Card Kit Orchards & Patches. I’ll try to remember to share them in the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share group. Well, that’s it for me this week! I’ll see you next Friday for my sneak peek of the new October kit!! You are going to love love love it!!
      Thanks so much for stopping by!
      See ya next time.
      Inky Hugs,
      Crystal

    • Autumn Blessings & Sweater Weather ~ Cute Fall Cards

      Posted at 9:38 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Oct 16th
       Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a sweet Fall card using one of my favorite Scrapping for Less dies… the Autumn Blessings die, along with a cute coffee stamp that I just adore that’s from the Sweater Weather stamp set by Paper Sweeties! Shall we have a look?
      I just happened to have a few pieces of the gorgeous Cozy Fall papers left over and they were absolutely perfect for this card design. I love sweaters! I’m a sweater loving, Fall loving kinda gal and the beautiful designs in these papers just make my heart happy!
      And since I was already planning on making a couple more Fall cards to send out, it just made sense to use my favorite Autumn Blessings die! This die does take a bit of patience as there’s four separate pieces (not including the dot for the ‘i’), but once you have it all adhered together it is SO worth it!!
      This was the first card I made while planning out my design. I love love love that floral piece behind the focal piece. The rich reds and greens on the black background is just stunning. I pulled my color palette for the cards from the papers and I think they turned out really pretty!
      I used the following Copic Markers for these cards:
      Leaves ~ YG03, YG63
      Berries ~ R000, R37
      Flowers ~ YR14, YR15, YR21, YR24
      Mug ~ E41, E43
      Grounding ~ N0, N1
      Here’s the two cards together. You can check out my process video for my card… here!

      Surprise! I have a bonus card to share! I also had these scraps left over from my Cozy Fall paper pack and whipped up a quick card using a sentiment from the Sweater Weather stamp set along with a “Happy” die from my stash. And to finish it off I stamped the heart, also from the Sweater Weather set, a few times… even stamping off once to get a lighter heart. I used Chipped Sapphire distress ink for this little bit of stamping. Go check out these fabulous Fall products in the SFL shop!!
      That’s it for me this time! Thanks so much for stopping by!
      See ya next time.
      Inky Hugs,
      Crystal

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Oct 9th
       Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with another look at the beautiful September 2020 FOTM Card Kit called Orchards & Patches… I’m using the adorable Apple Orchard Pickin’ paper pad along with one of the sketches from the September 2020 Sketch Sheet for a few quick cards!
      I’ve used the cute Cut-Aparts from the Apple Orchard Pickin’ paper pad to create these sweet Fall inspired cards. I had to get creative with my layers as I was running out of card stock from my card kit leftovers. I share a trick for when that happens in my process video… you can check that out below.
      Here’s a close up look of my cards…
      And here’s a link to the video… September 2020 FOTM ~ 3 Quick Cards with Cut-Aparts.

    • October Sketch Challenge #8 ~ September 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Happy Fall

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Oct 1st
       Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie and I’m sharing the October challenge for the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group! This month’s challenge is another sketch challenge. We had such a great turn out for our last slimline sketch challenge that I thought we’d give it another try!
      Before we get to the sketch and the card that I’m sharing today… the key to playing along with the challenge is being a member of the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group so if you aren’t already a member be sure to join in the fun —> here. Also, please note that you don’t need a blog to enter the challenge as you’re adding a photo of your creation directly into the challenge album in the group. You are welcome to include a link to your blog in the description of your creation, if you’d like.
      Alrighty… let’s have a look at the sketch for challenge #8…
      You may remember seeing a sneak peek or two of this sketch during our reveal and hop for the new September 2020 FOTM Card Kit – Orchards & Patches… if you haven’t hopped with us yet , you can start hopping —> here. Now, let’s check out the card I created as inspiration for the sketch…
      A cute slimline featuring the adorable gnome from Collection Two: Apple Orchard Pickin’… isn’t he just the cutest?! I used the sweet Harvest Time Stencil included in the Banana Split subscription… blending some Mustard Seed and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks over the sunflower one at a time. I cut my slimline card front measuring 3-1/2 x 8-1/2″ from Speckled Orange card stock and adhered it to a white slimline card base measuring 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″. I trimmed down my sunflower background to 3-1/4 x 8-1/4″ and used a corner rounder punch on all four corners. I adhered the background to my card base and cut a 3/4″ strip of Jellybean Green card stock and stamped the Happy Fall sentiment masking each of the words separately so I could stamp the sentiments next to each other. I stamped them with Clear Embossing ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I adhered the green sentiment strip to the card base and set it aside.
      I stamped the adorable Apple Gnome stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with the following Copic Markers:
      Skin ~ E000, E00, E11
      Beard ~ C00, C1
      Hat ~ E51, E55
      I stamped the hat of the Apple Gnome onto a couple scrap pieces of patterned paper from the collection and fussy cut them out and adhered them to the hat. I then fussy cut the gnome… also cutting off portion of the apple on his hat… and adhered him to a white die cut circle. I fussy cut the cute little sunflower and leaf from a piece of the patterned paper and adhered them to the gnome’s hat. I adhered the circle to a scalloped circle that I die cut from the Speckled Orange card stock. I popped up the focal image on the card with foam squares. To finish off the card, I added a few of the tiny sequins from the Banana Split subscription all around the card. I think it turned out pretty cute!
      The October Sketch challenge will run from today, October 1st and will end October 31st at 11:59pm EDT. The winner will be announced in the comments of the Challenge album on Sunday November 1st. Please use #sflsketchchallenge8 in any social media posts when playing along with the challenge.

    • Hey There Pumpkin ~ September 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Sneak Peek

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Sep 25th

      Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with the last sneak peek of the September 2020 FOTM Card Kit before the reveal and hop that starts at midnight tonight!! This Fall loving girl is in love with this kit!! It’s so stinkin’ cute and just perfect for all your Fall cardmaking needs!! Enough chit chat… let’s get to the card I created!

      So… if you have followed my creative card making journey at all, you may know about my obsession with teal trucks. lol… I love them so! It’s really no surprise that I just had to frame this adorable paper and make it a feature of my card! I love it!
      I layered the two beautiful papers from Collection Four and adhered a stitched scallop frame that I die cut from white card stock. I stamped the Hey There Pumpkin stamp with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored it in with my Copic markers. I used the following Copic markers:
      ‘Hey There’ ~ E23
      ‘Pumpkin’ ~ BG01, BG10, BG45, BG57
      Pumpkin ~ YR15, YR21, YR27, YR68, E21, E23, E27
      I then fussy cut around the image and sentiment and then adhered it to a white stitched oval. I then popped that up on the card and finished it off with a few enamel dots. You can check out my process video below…

      I am just loving how this card turned out. It has me dreaming about cooler days with leaves changing colors and falling leaves. *sigh*  Do you love Fall too? Let me know in the comments what’s your favorite part of the Fall season.

      Sep 18th
      Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one more card using the adorable Bubbles Galore card kit from Scrapping for Less!! I’ve used the cute Bubbles Die from the Banana Split subscription to create an easy border edge for my card.
      I did a little paper piecing with my copic colored dragon from the Tiny Bubbles stamp set in Collection Four: Bubbles Galore. And the cute sentiment that I think goes just perfectly with this card design is from the Bubbles in the Tub stamp set included in Collection One: Bubbles in the Tub.
      Here’s a close up of the card. I used the following Copic markers to color this cute dragon:
      Dragon ~ YG00, YG11, YG13, BV000, BV11, V17, N0, N2
      Bubble Wand ~ RV04
      Bubbles ~ RV000, B000
      Ground ~ N0, N1
