- Christmas All Year Long – Patterned Paper Cards

  Hey, everyone! It’s Lynnea! I know many of us find ourselves scrambling in November and December to create Christmas cards for friends and family. At Scrapping for Less we are celebrating Christmas all year long! Once a month we will be sharing inspiration for a Christmas card! I used the Photoplay Here Comes Santa paper pad and a sentiment from the Stocking Full of Joy stamp set from Your Next Stamp to create a set of 7 Christmas cards!
  
  I used about 5 pieces of patterned paper to create these 7 cards! And in the end I only had 2 little strips left! And I created all 7 cards in about 20 minutes! Yay! I have a video tutorial at the end of this post so make sure you check it out!
  
  I started by cutting up some pieces of patterned paper – some had little images (like pictured above) and some into strips of varying widths. I didn’t follow any sketches, but these are super basic layouts that can be easily replicated!
  
  I needed a sentiment for some of the layouts and the “Happy Holidays” sentiment from the Stocking Full of Joy stamp set seemed perfect! I love the little script!
  
  I had a bunch of strips of paper left over, so I decided to use them to create one more card! Plus I couldn’t let that little Santa image go unused!
  
  Thanks for joining me!

- Masking Two Ways with Dreamland Crafts “Graduation Boy”

  Hi! Today I’m showing you two ways to use masking to create an *almost* one layer card! I used the Graduation Boy stamp set from Dreamland Crafts and you can get yours at the Scrapping for Less store!
  
  I started by stamping the boy from the Graduation Boy stamp set onto a piece of watercolor cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I heat embossed it so that I could do some watercoloring with my Sakura Koi watercolor set. Once my watercoloring was done I heat set the paint completely. I used a Versamarker (Versamark ink in pen form) and colored all over the colored image and embossed it with clear powder. I repeated the process again so that I would have more dimension to my clear embossing. This is one of my favorite ways to emboss! There’s no need to fussy cut a mask and no wait for drying time!
  
  I used a piece of Inkadinkado masking paper and sketched a simple hill shape and cut along my sketch line. I used the top piece to mask off the upper portion of my card so that the hill section of my cardstock is exposed. I used two colors of green Distress Ink – dark at the top and lighter at the bottom. Then I dried the ink with my heat gun and added the other portion of my masking paper to the cardstock so that the green hill is covered.
  
  I grabbed the Cloud stencil from Pink & Main and some Distress Ink and created my cloudy background. It’s super easy since I didn’t have to mask off my colored image – I just blended the ink right across my heat embossed image! I used a stitched rectangle die to cut down my panel and adhered it to a card base! You can watch my process video below!

- Heffy Doodle Party Palooza Spinner Card

  Hey, everyone! It’s Lynnea! I have a super fun card using the Heffy Doodle Party Palooza stamp set from Scrapping for Less! I have a video at the end of this post, so scroll down to watch it! This is my first spinner card and I’m obsessed!
  
  I started by stamped out the cake and candle image twice onto Copic friendly paper and coloring them with the markers pictured below. I barely used any markers and tried my best to keep my coloring simple! It’s important to select images that are symmetrical when creating a spinner card because you need to glue the images back to back. The candles had a little wax drip coming off the left side making them unsymmetrical, so after I stamped them I used a Copic safe pen to draw a straight line down the side of the candle eliminating the drip. This is better seen in the video below.
  
  I used simple blending techniques and only 2 markers per color. Then I cut out my images right up against the black line and used a marker to go around the outside of the image to eliminate the white core of the paper that shows.
  
  I wanted to add some interest to my background, so I used the Altenew Wave Builder stencil and some Cracked Pistachio and Scattered Straw Distress ink to create my stenciled background. I temporarily adhered my background to a white card base and die cut a circle through both my background and my card front. Now to create the spinner mechanism I glued a piece of clear thread to the top and bottom of the circle on the back of the stenciled background. Then I sandwiched the string between my two cake images. Make sure to use super strong adhesive when gluing the cakes back to back. This is the main focus of the card and you don’t want it to fall apart!
  
  I adhered the white frame to the card front and adhere the stenciled background to the card base. Then I used some black ink to stamp the sentiment from the Party Palooza stamp set. All that’s left to do is wind up the cake and open the card and watch it spin!
  
  You know I’m a fan of creating bonus cards! I had this cute die cut circle left over from my spinner card, so I popped it up with foam onto the front of another card and quickly colored another cake to be my focal image. I already had the sentiment set up in my MISTI so it was no problem to just stamp it again! Check out my video below!

- January Flavor of the Month Card Kit Overhang Card

  Hi! I’ve been having fun with “fun fold” cards lately and today’s card gives a little twist to the standard side folding card! I call it an “overhang” card because I don’t know exactly what it’s called! You’ll see what I mean as we get started! And the video below is super helpful in recreating your own overhang card!
  
  At first glance this card looks like any other, but it’s actually all one layer! I used the January 2019 Flavor of the Month card kit from Scrapping for Less to make this card. I started by using some of the white cardstock in the kit to create an A2 side folding card. I love the Coffee Melt stamp set from Your Next Stamp! This stamp set is included in the Banana Split level and it’s too cute for words! It’s exclusive to the kit, so if you want it make sure you scoop up the kit before it’s gone! I stamped the sentiment and melty snowman with some Copic friendly ink and colored him in!
  
  I showed some of the coloring in the video below, but here’s a photo of all the markers I used for today’s project!
  
  Now for the fun part! I unfolded my card so that it would be flat and put it into my paper trimmer. I trimmed about and inch off of the right side of the card above and below the snowman. Make sure you don’t cut the snowman completely off! Only trim above and below the stamped image. Then I used my scissors to fussy cut around the snowman up to the part where I trimmed. This makes it so that the right side of the snowman is hanging off the side of the card! Super cute, right! You could definitely leave the inside of the card white, but I decided to trim off a strip of the chevron paper from collection 2 in the kit and add it to the inside of the card. Now you have something fancy on the outside and some decoration on the inside as well! And this card is practically one layer, so it’s super easy to mail!
  
  It looks so fun! I added some clear shimmer from my Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to the hat, scarf, and mug and added Glossy Accents for some shine. Check out the process video below!

- Avery Elle Cool Beans Card

  Hi! It’s Lynnea Hollendonner and I have a project for the Scrapping for Less blog today using the Avery Elle Cool Beans stamp set and some colored pencils! And there’s a video at the end of this post!
  
  I love the cute little coffee cup image in the Cool Beans stamp set and I toyed around with a bunch of ideas in my head before settling on this one! I used the Splatters stencil from Tim Holtz and some Ground Espresso Distress Ink to create my background. I taped down my stencil and then blended on the ink keeping it darker at the bottom and lighter at the top.
  
  I stamped my coffee cup with some ink safe for colored pencils and grabbed a few colors of my Prismacolor pencils. I usually tend to stay away from colored pencils. I’m not good at coloring – especially with pencils. I can never get colors to blend and I always have streaky pencil marks. I usually use a blending stump and some gamsol to blend the colors together, but I can’t seem to keep a good point on the stumps and the gamsol almost shreds my paper. I watched Jennifer McGuire’s video where she showed how to put gamsol into an alcohol ink blending pen and use that to color with pencils and I was AMAZED! I had to try it for myself! Watch the video below to see exactly how I colored this cup!
  
  I put down some quick color with my pencils and then used the blending pen filled with gamsol to blend the colors together. And look! No streaky pencil lines! I cut out the cup and popped it up with foam and added some colored hearts as accents to finish off the card!
