  November 2019 FOTM Card Kit ~ Sneak Peek

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Nov 29th

  Hello there crafty friends!! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one last sneak peek for the November 2019 Flavor of the Month card kit called A Vintage Christmas.

  

  I had such a hard time deciding which stamp to feature for my sneak peek… they are all so beautiful!! Typically vintage isn’t the style I would gravitate towards, but there’s something about vintage styles when it comes to Christmas cards. I think it brings back memories of childhood and thoughts of family that are no longer with us. At least it does for me. I have always loved the look of cobblestone on houses… I’m not sure that it’s vintage but I think the feel of it is.

  

  I made my cobblestones on the house by basically making dots of different warm grays and highlighting some of them. I think it turned out pretty cute. Definitely a technique that I’d like to try again. I used the following Copic markers on this card:

  Cobblestone ~ W00, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5

  Windows ~ Y000, Y06, Y15

  House ~ C00, C1, C2, YG03, YG11, YG63, YG91

  Roof / Door / Front Steps ~ N0, N1, N3, N5, N7

  Christmas Lights ~ Y000, Y06, Y15, G000, G24, B00, B02, R000, R14, R29

  Bows / Wreath ~ R000, R14, R29, G000, G24, G46

  Snow / Outline ~ C00, C1, C2, B0000

  If you looked through the list above, you may be wondering why I used Cool Gray (C00, C1, C2) on the house when you can’t see it. I tried to make paneling on the house with the cool grays and it didn’t work out as I had hoped. The paneling actually looked nice, but the cool gray and the warm grays of the cobblestones did not look nice together. So, I decided to try some yellow greens over it to see what would happen and for awhile the lines of the ‘paneling’ showed through and I thought it looked nice, but once the ink dried they were pretty much covered. It might have something to do with the 4 yellow green markers I used to find just the right green… lol… anywho, you don’t know unless you try, right?!

  

  I hope that you’ve enjoyed my sneak peek card! Be sure to check back for the reveal of the gorgeous November 2019 A Vintage Christmas card kit tonight at midnight Eastern time. The design team is hopping with so much lovely inspiration… we hope you’ll come back to have a look!

  Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  First Sneak Peek for November’s Kit!!!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Nov 23rd

  Hi you all! Okay, okay, okay. Are you ready? I’m gonna gush a bit about the stamp I got to use to make my sneak peek card so brace yourselves. Have you ever looked at something and thought “Oh, yes that is perfect!” Well that is exactly how I felt when I saw this collection. From the stamp, the patterned paper, down to the embellishments in the collection each item just made me more excited to start playing! I could go on and on but I am sure you have other things to do today so here is what I did with this collection and a little sneak peek for what is coming this week:

  

  • using Lawn Fawn jet black ink I stamped the image from LDRS Christmas Post onto Neenah 80lb cardstock (I’m finding that my Copics don’t bleed as much with this weight of paper)
  • using Copic markers I colored the image
  • using Frosted Lace Stickles I filled in the white of her hooded shawl and the snow. I also covered the snowflakes with it as well. (I used Frosted Lace because I wanted something that would dry more white and less clear but still be very sparkly.) If you have Nuvo drops then you would want to use White Blizzard
  • using Nuvo Crystal drops in Morning Dew I added a little to her eyes, the holly berries, and her lips to give them some shine
  • using the patterned paper from the kit I decided that I would make a square card (a lot of Christmas cards I hand out rather than mail so this will definitely be one, but you can always make your own envelope if you need to mail it. I just could NOT bring myself to cut down that scene. The card front base is 5.5″ x 5.5″ (keep in mind you’ll want to double that when you make your card base so that it can be folded in half) the next sheet is 5″ x 5″ then the Merry Christmas sheet is 4.75″ x 4.75″ and the sheet the image is stamped on is 4.25″ x 4.25″
  • also in the kit was the little wooden embellishment that glued down on the bottom right hand corner with Ranger Multi Medium Matte. I colored it in with Nuvo drops in woodland green and ruby slippers for the berries.

  

  • using MultiCraft 3D pop dots I popped up the stamped image to add a little dimension to the card
  • another embellishment in the kit were some heart stickers so I added a white little heart to the mailbox

  I hope you enjoy this sneak peek! I had so much fun making this card and I cannot WAIT to give it away! Thank you for stopping in today and I hope you make it back for a bit each day to catch a glimpse of the other sneak peeks coming in for you! Also, join us next Saturday, November 30th for the blog hop.

  Keep on crafting,

  Kim 🙂

  Reveal of the October Flavor of the Month Card Kit | Scrapping for Less

  Posted at 12:00 am by Stacy Tiedemann

  Oct 26th

  

  Christmas Around the World

  I was an elementary school teacher for many years. During Christmas time for Social Studies we studied Christmas traditions around the world. This was my absolute favorite time of the year with my students. So, for our Christmas Around the World card kit I have chosen my most favorite countries we studied to feature.

  Mexico: Great food and wonderful traditions centered around Papa Noel.

  Sweden: St. Lucia was my favorite tradition in Sweden we studied.

  Australia: My students got the biggest kick out of the fact that it was hot and summer there during Christmas.

  Germany: Of course what would a study be without studying the origin of the Christmas tree.

  Sneak Peek! Flavor of the Month October Card Kit – Christmas Around the World!

  Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson

  Oct 21st

  

  Hello Everyone! I’m here to share a Sneak Peek from the October 2019 Flavor of the Month card kit.

  For today’s card, I made a shaker card with the fabulous sequins I received in my kit as part of collection 3. I first trimmed down a piece of pattern paper from the same collection and used a square die to cut my shaker window. I also created a frame using the same square die set. For the shaker portion, I used the “Happy Holidays” sentiment from the stamp set found in the banana split pack and used a platinum embossing powder. I did use 2 layers of foam adhesive so the sequins would shake really nicely.

  I added this great ephemera piece also found in my kit as part of collection 3 and added a little gold gel pen and Wink of Stella clear glitter brush for some sparkle.

  

  Thank you so much for stopping by today. Stay tuned for the full reveal of Saturday, October 26!

  I hope you enjoy and get inspired.

  The Last Sneak Peek! August Flavor of the Month Card Kit

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Aug 30th

  It’s almost time!!! All week we over here at Scrapping For Less we have been getting wild with the Flavor of the Month card kit for August. I am so excited to see what everyone else has created and to see how all of you respond to this month’s kit!

  For the sneak peek I grabbed some ingredients from collection four and one of the stamps from that same collection. Added my favorite sentiment from the Banana Split Stamp set and the whole card came together.

  I colored the image in with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Markers, (I wish I could get the sparkle to show up in the pics as nicely as it does in real life!) except for the yellow color I used my Wink of Stella.

  As I was finishing up with glueing everything down with Lawn Fawn’s glue tube I realized that I had glued the entire card upside down. Gah! I kind of laughed at myself and then began to work on fixing it so I just trimmed off the edges and then glued the card front down to a new card correctly this time!

  The big reveal with be this coming Saturday, at 12:00 am EST. If you’re interested in making sure one of these gorgeous kits has your name on be sure to sign up for a subscription (plus saves you even more $$) prior to 10:00 pm EST Friday night.

  Day 4: Sneak Peek | August Flavor of the Month Card Kit

  Posted at 8:00 am by Stacy Tiedemann

  Aug 27th

  Hi Everyone, it’s Stacy from CraftaholicMomma up on the Scrapping for Less blog with Day 4 of the new card kit sneak peeks.

  Are you excited? I know I am. The papers and stamps in this kit are so “exotic” they’ll turn you into a Wild Animal!!

  Today I used the stamp and papers from Collection Three. I also grab the sentiment from the Banana Split Stamp set.

  I created the image by doing a lot of masking and stamping to create my little meerkat crowd. I used a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide inks to blend the background.

  The handsome little meerkat down front was stamped on the pattern paper, fussy cut and paper pieced into position.

  To help the sentiment stand out as well, I slid the paper off to the side a teeny bit and did a “ghost” stamp.

  The big reveal with be this coming Saturday, at 12:00 am EST. If you’re interested in making sure one of these gorgeous kits has your name on be sure to sign up for a subscription (plus saves you even more $$) prior to 10:00 pm EST Friday night.

  Sneak Peek – August Flavor of the Month – Exotic Animals

  Posted at 8:00 am by Christine Patterson

  Aug 26th

  Hello Everyone, Christine with Pattercrafts here with a Sneak Peek of the August Flavor of the Month card kit. The theme for August 2019 is Exotic Animals. For today’s Sneak Peek I am using lots of ingredients from one of the collections. I absolutely LOVED the colors in pattern paper and had a hard time choosing which ones to use on this card.

  

  Today I chose to make a shaker card with the fun Chameleon stamp set and sequins found in this collection. I thought it would be fun to just stamp the image on the pattern paper since chameleon’s are known to change color based on their mood or to blend into their environment. I’m pretty sure they cannot “blend” into these awesome papers, but in crafting – all things are possible.

  

  And how much fun are these flags?! I thought it was a fun way to add the sentiment onto the card. I used the brown cord found in this collection to wrap around my front panel and tie a bow. I did have to use some glue dots to hold it in place.

  

  For the inside of my card I used a small scrap of pattern paper I used on the front and glued it to the left of this white mat. I then stamped the chameleon on a branch with some leaves. All of these images and the sentiment are all part of the stamp set in this collection.

  Thank You all so much for stopping by today. I hope you are looking forward to the complete reveal at the end of the week! And stop back each day until the reveal for more sneak peeks.

  As always — Remember — We want to see what you create! Use #SflFOTMexoticanimals this month and share what you made with this card kit!

  I hope you enjoy and get inspired!!
