    • Sneak Peek Week!

      Happy Sneak Peek Week!

      Hi all!

      Cardmaking Blonde bringing you a glimpse at one of the stamps in July’s Flavor of the Month card kit along with the sentiments on the stamp set as well. This image was perfect for making a one layer card! Since the majority of the content was so close together I only focused on shading in the larger areas like the ocean and the sky.

      This month’s kit is called In The Tropics. If you want to be sure to get yours sign up for a subscription. The kit will reveal Saturday, July 25th at midnight EST. Should you choose to wait for the reveal get one in your cart as soon as you can before they’re gone!

      Thanks for stopping in and I look forward to seeing your comment this weekend during our reveal hop.

      Just keep creating,

      Kim 🙂

    • Summer Floaties ~ Slimline Summer Girl Card

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Jul 10th
      Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a super fun new release from Scrapping for Less… Summer Floaties stamp set and paper pad!! Oh my cuteness… this is such an adorable set and the papers coordinate perfectly!!
      So… I’ve been on a bit of a Slimline kick! Lol… have you tried making one yet?! They are so fun! I love that extra bit of space to create with! I used a fun sketch from over at the Poetic Artistry blog, the current Mojo Monday sketch challenge. I did make my slimline card a little bigger than the one posted for the sketch… this one is the trendy size that measures 3-1/2 x 8-1/2″.
      Isn’t she just the cutest?!
      I had so much fun coloring her in this sweet little scene. I used the following Copic markers:
      Skin / Glasses ~ E000, E01, E11, No, BV01, R00, R21
      Hair ~ E34, E51, E97
      Bikini / Hat ~ Y06, Y11, Y13, YG03, YG11, R14, R21, R32
      Pineapple / Drink ~ Y06, E25, YG03, YG11, YG63, N0, R0000, R14, R21, R32, YR15, YR68
      Umbrella / Blanket ~R00, R21, R32, C00, C1, B00, B02
      Sand / Water / Sky ~ E25, E33, BG000, BG01, B0000, B000
      I wanted to jazz up the sentiment so I thought a copic colored sun would be fun! I used Y000, Y11, Y06, and Y15.
      A sweet summer time slimline card! I hope you like it!

      I have a little process video for this card. I hope you’ll check it out!
      Thanks for stopping by!
      See ya next time.
      Inky Hugs,
      Crystal

    • Summer Floaties are Fabulous!

      Hello my crafty friends!

      Kim from Cardmaking Blonde coming to you today with one of the cutest little sunbathers I’ve ever seen! SFL’s newest release is Summer Floaties! This release has a stamp set and paper pad and they go perfectly together. Of course they can be used separately but why would you want to?

      While making this card I chose the watermelon paper because the little cutie is holding a slice of watermelon. The pool water you see is also from the paper pad and I used a pool die to cut out the shape. To create the border around the pool I used Nuvo Glitter Drops. The little cutie on her flamingo floatie is colored with Copic markers. She’s stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa ink so her features would be a bit softer. Heat embossed the sentiment with white detail embossing powder after prepping with some powder and using VersaMark.

      This release is in limited supply so grab yours before they’re gone! Thank you so much for checking out the blog today and I hope you are in the middle of making a great Summer for you and your loved ones.

      Just keep creating,

      Kim 🙂

    • June Flavor of the Month Card Kit Sneak Peek Day 3

      Posted at 6:55 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
      Jun 23rd

      Hi, Everyone! Happy Tuesday! It’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today with Day 3 of Sneak Peeks of the new June Flavor of the Month Card Kit.

      Omg! This kit is so dang cute! I know I say that every month, but I fall in love with each one. You won’t have to wait too much longer! The kit will debut this Saturday, June 27th.

      May’s kit sold out very quickly. There are not very many extra kits to purchase so if you want to make sure you have one with your name on it then you might want to consider signing up for the monthly subscription. For those details visit the Scrapping for Less Subscription Page HERE.

      Today I made a card and matching tag from my scraps left from Collection 1. Omg! That ant is beyond CUTE!!

      I used Mojo Monday Sketch #539 for my card.

      Thanks so much for visiting and I hope to see you for the blog hop this weekend celebrating the release of this fantastic card kit.

      Hugs,

    • Easy Peasy Cards!

      Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
      Jun 11th

      Hello friends! Thanks for stopping in today and checking out the SFL blog. Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde with a few more cards from the Easy Peasy collection. May’s Flavor of the Month Card Kit is all about encouragement. This collection is a sweet way to say Hello, Hang in There, Thinking of

      You etc.

       

      Here’s what I have come up with AND I still have enough papers and goodies to make a few more cards that I will share on Instagram:

      sflblog06102020sflblog06102020bsflblog06102020c

      The papers in this kit are just beautiful and I had a hard time choosing which side of the paper I wanted to use! Don’t forget that the best way to ensure you will get your card kit is to subscribe but if you want to see what you are getting the release is the last Saturday of the month. So if you make sure to come to take a peek as soon as it reveals you’ll probably be okay to order a one-time kit…probably 😉 .

      Thanks again for spending a bit of time with me today and I hope you get to do some crafting of your own!

      Just keep creating,

      Kim 🙂

      Good Morning and Happy Thursday fellow crafters!  Katie here from 2CrafyKaties to share with you a card using Kaisercraft “Wood Camping” Icons and Scrapping for Less Paper pack in collection #2 of this month’s FOTM kit!

      Here is what I created:

      First, I need to apologize. 

      I’m Sorry.

      Teresa and Kim have this AMAZING card kit and they pack in a TON of goodies and I have been playing safe.  I have not been using all the embellishment’s in the kit.  So, for my sneak I stepped out of my comfort zone and used the Kaisercraft “Wood Camping” Icon pieces.  I will admit that I scrap lifted the idea/layout from Stacy (here).  I also used a die that did NOT come in the kit.  Hurry and grab this kit because it’s ADORABLE!

      Here is what I used:

      Good Morning and Happy Thursday fellow crafters!  Katie here from 2CrafyKaties to share with you a card using Sunny Studio Stamps “Summer Picnic”!  This month’s theme uses products that focus on celebrating the outdoors, nature, camping, and being under the stars!

      Here is what I created: 

      I was once again inspired by a Jennifer McGuire video.  This video is about “Bridge Cards.”  This is a free-standing card that can display a scene or a message/sentiment.  I used a cloud die to create a cloud like stencil and I used the Ranger Distress ink “Stormy Sky” to created clouds on the card base.  I had pre-stamped my images and cut them out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut.  After the card base was finished, I used the “Peeled Paint” Ranger Distress ink to create a grassy area.  I colored all my images with copic markers (listed below) and then assembled.

      Here is what I used: 

      Scrapping for Less

      Sunny Studio Stamp – “Summer Picnic” stamp set

      Ranger Distress Ink – “Stormy Sky” & “Peeled Paint”

      Copics

      Tree – E39, G28, G19

      Grape – V1, G28

      Watermelon – G28, R14

      Banana – Y13

      Plate – B12

      Picnic blanket – R14

      Picnic Basket – R14, E11, E13
