  Sneak Peek Week: Thursday!

  Posted at 11:07 am by kimmyfsmithyahoocom

  Sep 24th

  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 🙂

  Sneak Peek Week of August FOTM Card Kit!

  Posted at 9:00 am by kimmyfsmithyahoocom

  Aug 27th

  Hello crafters!

  Kim here @CardmakingBlonde bringing you a sneak peek for August’s Flavor of the Month card kit. One of the ingredients you will receive in this card kit is acetate sheets, so I used mine to create a shaker card. I’ll keep it simple because the big release is coming on August 29th at midnight and there will be a whole lot of hopping going on!

  

  

  

  For the last several months the Flavor of the Month card kit has sold out. Don’t be left sad and empty handed! Make sure to sign up for your subscription (this way you also don’t have to try to stay up until midnight if you aren’t a night owl). Of course if you are a risk taker there will be the option to buy a one-time kit as well.

  I look forward to seeing you at the hop!

  Kim 🙂

  A Farmhouse Spring Card Kit ~ Butterfly Stencil

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Apr 17th
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a few more cards using the wonderful A Farmhouse Spring card kit from Scrapping for Less! I really wanted to play with the beautiful Butterfly Stencil that’s included in the Banana Split subscription… have you seen the lovely cards being created by the Design Team with this stencil?! So inspiring!! Mine was slightly delayed in arriving but now I have it and I couldn’t wait to play!!

  

  What do you think?! Pretty cute cards if I do say so myself! I started by blending Picket Fence Distress ink over the stencil onto a card front of Spearmint, Cotton Candy, and Grapesicle card stock. I then die cut the card fronts with a few different rectangle dies in my stash… just to change things up so they weren’t all the same. I adhered those to white card bases from my stash.

  

  And then I blended some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink over a scrap of white card stock and die cut it with a circle die. I die cut three scalloped circles from the vellum paper… one for each card and then die cut three more scalloped circles from the Spearmint, Cotton Candy, and Grapesicle card stock.

  

  I set all of those pieces aside and blended some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink over the Butterfly Stencil. It wasn’t quite the right shade of purple but I tried to keep it light and I think it works pretty well.

  

  I then blended a few different green oxide inks and decided that Cracked Pistachio was the closest to coordinating with the Spearmint green. I die cut the purple butterflies and the green butterflies and then stamped the Hello Spring sentiment on each of the circles with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then adhered all of my circle layers.

  

  Now at this point, I had decided on my design for the card but it needed something. I decided to add a banner strip of black card stock from my stash to make the sentiment pop just a bit more on the cards.

  

  Here’s another look at the three cards together… I really love how they turned out! I hope you do too!

  

  I have one more bonus card to share. When I was finishing up the trio of cards above, I had an idea for this card. It’s a pretty simple design. Just some ink blending with the same three colors I used on the first three cards, but I did mask some of the stencil so that the butterflies looked like they’d be flying out of the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Hello Spring stamp set and I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I had an extra piece of Cotton Candy card stock in my stash so I mat the main panel with that. I then adhered the panel to a white card base. And to finish it off, I added a few of the sequins that were also included in the Banana Split subscription.

  I hope that I’ve inspired you to get inky with your card kit!! And if you don’t have this lovely card kit to play with, I believe that there are a few more left in the shop so go get one before they are all gone!! You will love it!!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  Fabulous Inspiration with the Glass Slipper Collection!!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Mar 21st
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with more inspiration using the Glass Slippers Collection from the It’s All About the Girls card kit from Scrapping for Less! This is just one of the four fabulous collections included in this card kit and there are just a handful of card kits left so be sure to snatch yours up before they are gone!! I had so much fun with the pretty papers and the beautiful ephemera in this collection! Let’s get to the cards, shall we?!

  

  My first card uses a cut-a-part from the Glass Slippers patterned papers in the collection for the sentiment with a fun quote from Walt Disney. I thought it paired beautifully with the castle papers and the castle ephemera. I die cut a square window from the yellow leaf papers and also die cut the square scalloped window from the green paper. I trimmed down a piece of the castle paper just big enough to fit the scalloped window and adhered it to a 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ piece of Nightshift Blue card stock. I then adhered the patterned papers to the panel and tied some pretty white organdy ribbon from my stash around the panel and tied it off cutting the ends like a faux bow. I then adhered my panel to a white card base. I popped up the cut-a-part piece and the ephemera castle with foam squares. I really love the dimension that the window gives the card!

  

  My second card was a very quick way to finish off those scraps of pretty patterned paper. I pretty much finished off the Banana Split card stock with this one, too. I used the yellow card stock for my card front that I adhered to a white card base. I adhered a 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ piece of Nightshift Blue card stock to the card and then mat my patterned papers to some of the Banana Split card stock. I adhered those to the card and cut my flag (or banner) piece. I adhered the flag piece and realized I had forgotten to stamp the sentiment after popping up the flower ephemera piece with foam squares so I decided to stamp the sentiment onto a scrap of white card stock, trimmed it and adhered it on the flag. To finish off the card, I added a few of the clear enamel dots. I really love the beautiful floral papers on this dark background… makes for a very striking card!

  

  I have to admit I dug into my stash for this card… I had run out of Nightshift Blue card stock with that bottom strip across the card. I had a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ piece of the Nightshift Blue card stock left over from a previous card kit so I used it. Again, I love the striking contrast with the dark background and the pretty blues, yellow and gold! So beautiful! I used another cut-a-part piece for my sentiment and the matching ephemera piece. These beautiful princess ephemera pieces are so gorgeous… I just love them!! And I was super excited to see that they are offered in the A La Carte section of the SFL shop —> Glass Slipper Ephemera!!

  

  I just love how my last card turned out!! For this card I used product exclusive to the Banana Split subscription… I love the extra goodies included in this month’s kit!! I used the beautiful Flourish stencil to create my background. Since I wanted more of a dreamy background… kinda magical… I just used purple tape to secure the Flourish stencil over the Distress Watercolor card stock from my stash, rather than using Pixie Spray to secure it down which would have given clean crisp lines to the background. I sprayed the card stock lightly with water and then watercolor washed some Picked Raspberry Distress ink over the top left corner and the bottom right corner. I dabbed up the excess water and watercolor washed some Scattered Straw Distress ink (from my stash) that I watered down to get a lighter yellow color. I pulled up the stencil and dried the background with my heat tool.

  

  I trimmed the background down to 4 x 5-1/4″ and adhered it to a white card base. I popped up the princess ephemera piece with foam squares and adhered a few sequins from the collection around the card. I then die cut the Beautiful Word die {exclusive to the Banana Split subscription of the card kit} several times from my last scrap of Banana Split card stock. I adhered three layers of the Beautiful Word die together and then adhered three more layers of the Beautiful Word die together. I decided I’d adhere the Beautiful Word die across the bottom of the princesses dress so I cut one of the layers of die cuts just after the letter ‘e’ giving me three layers of the word ‘be’. I adhered those layers to the bottom of my other die cut of the Beautiful Word die and then adhered the entire die cut piece to the card. The extra layers under the ‘be’ portion of the die cut were perfect to keep the whole piece level with the height given to the princess ephemera piece from the foam squares. Love it!!

  So, I’ve pretty much finished up this collection in my stash but I saw that the consumable products in the collections are available to purchase in the A La Carte section of the shop… the card stock, the pretty patterned papers, the ephemera, and the enamel dots!! I can restock my stash and make more pretty cards! Woohoo!

  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  See ya next time.

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  MFT Magical Dragons Birthday Card

  Posted at 7:30 pm by Stacy Tiedemann

  Jan 30th

  Hello, it’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog featuring an oldie but definitely a goodie stamp set by My Favorite Things called Magical Dragons.

  

  I used the MFT Mini Cloud Edges Stencil and Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender and Tumbled Glass to create the background. I alternated the four sides of the stencil with each color of ink.

  I stamped the dragons in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them in with my Copic Markers.

  

  I die-cut the panel with the MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle Dies. I also die-cut some clouds out of white glitter paper from my stash with the Paper Smooches Cute Clouds die.

  

  I finished off the card by gluing the clouds down flat, popping the dragons up on adhesive foam and stamping the sentiment with the black ink.

  Thanks for visiting,

• Winter Wear by Concord & 9th

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Nov 14th

  Hello my crafty friends! It’s Kim here with a stamp set that I have been chomping at the bit to use! The images are the epitome of cozy and of all days here in Florida it is actually cold today! High of 68 degrees (yes that’s cold here). So here’s a run down of what I did with today’s card:

  

  • used Winter Wear stamp by Concord & 9th
  • stamped images out in Gina K Amalgam Ink in whisper

  

  • used Nuvo Glimmer Paste in moonstone on the Carta Bella stencil Our Home Shiplap

  

  •  colored the image in with Copic Markers (ugh you will see in the pics I managed to show you three colors I used and then I was so focused on coloring I forgot to show any more!)

  

  • got out a sheet of patterned paper to use for my 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ from Scrapping For Less’ Nordic Winter paper pad
  • cut down my shiplap paper to 4″x5 1/4″ and adhered it onto the Nordic Winter sheet with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive (QUICK TIP: keep a sewing needle or strait pin nearby to unclog the tip)
  • used a rounded stitched rectangle die to cut out the image
  • finished by adding the sentiment in Versafine Ink and adding Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen

  

  This was my first attempt at a “no line” coloring and I’m liking how it turned out so I definitely think I will try again, practice makes perfect, right? Thank you so much for stopping in and checking out this card. I hope you get the chance to get crafty today!

  Keep on crafting,

  Kim 🙂
