  Valentine’s Color Challenge ~ Winter Fairies

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Feb 1st

  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a new challenge over at the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share group on Facebook and I have found a lovely combination of colors for a Valentine’s Color Challenge.

  

  We have a couple of pinks, along with white, red, and even a reddish brown. I think these colors work perfectly for a Valentine’s Color Challenge! I hope you do too and that you can find some time to play along with us in the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share group on Facebook.

  

  So… I thought it would be fun to use the Winter Fairies stamp set for a Valentine’s card… kind of show how versatile this set can be!! It doesn’t have to be just for a wintry card or Christmas card… the sweet fairies combined with some Valentine’s colors, stenciled hearts, and a perfect sentiment – BAM! I have a sweet Valentine’s card ready for my stash!

  

  To start, I stamped the fairy with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto white card stock and colored her in with the following copic markers:

  Skin ~ E000, E00, E21

  Hair ~ E55, E57, E59

  Eyes ~ B000, B00

  Clothes ~ RV0000, RV06, RV10, RV14, RV63, C00, C3, E57

  I then fussy cut her out (cutting off the star at the top of her wand) and cleaned up the edges with a Memento Tuxedo black marker. I set the fairy aside and grabbed a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor paper. I ink smooshed some Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide inks. I used my Heat Tool to dry the panel and then applied some Scarlet Glitter Glaze from Brutus Monroe with a spatula over the Tim Holtz Hearts Mini Layering Stencil Set #6. I also applied some of the same glaze over the stencil onto a scrap piece of white card stock. I set it aside to dry.

  

  While that was drying, I realized that I had forgotten about the brown in the color combination… oops! I mean, sure there’s a bit in her hair, but I wanted it in the background too so once the glitter glaze was dry I smooshed some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks on the panel. I also used my water pen to move the ink around a bit since the raised glittery hearts seemed to resist the ink. I’ll be honest… at this point, I tossed the panel in the trash. I did not like how it turned out. So I made another one… and somehow that one was worse!! Lol… I pulled the first panel out of the trash and gave it another look and decided it wasn’t terrible. I left both panels on my desk and called it a day… the next morning, I decided to go with the first panel. Fresh eyes can give you that new perspective on your creations!! I actually like the extra dimension the brown ink smooshes give to the card!

  

  I trimmed down my panel to 3-7/8 x 5-1/8″ and adhered it to a Real Red mat measuring 4 x 5-1/4″. I then adhered that to a Passionate Pink card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ and adhered the entire card front to a white card base. I popped up the fairy using foam squares and then popped up the fussy cut glitter glazed heart that I had created on the scrap piece of white card stock to take the place of the star on the fairies wand. To finish off the card, I stamped the Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment from the Sentiments of the Heart stamp set that was included in the Banana Split subscription of the December 2019 Sending Love card kit with VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed an ultra fine white embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment with my go-to banners die and popped it up on the card. I’m so happy with how this card turned out! I hope you like it too!

  Now, the key to playing along is being a member of the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group so if you aren’t already a member —> join 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 in the Challenge album in the group.

  Single Layer Beach Scene with SFL

  Posted at 11:00 am by Luci Manos

  Jan 22nd

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here with a single layer card using the Brand New Release from SFL “Winter Fairies” and “At the Beach Sentiments” from the June 2018 FOTM Kit! How adorable are these sets!

  I don’t know about you, but here in the Midwest the weather has been yucky and I’m about ready for a beach day! So I thought I would create my own.

  When I saw Crystal’s card using the lights in this set I knew I needed to use them but with a tropical theme!

  I created the scene by masking and coloring with Copic Markers and Distress Oxide Inks. I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and using Copper Embossing Powder heat embossed it. I finished off the card by using Glossy Accents on the lights, drink, flipflops and Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen on the water!

  Check out the process video HERE!

  

  I made an A2 size card or 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 inches, I cut a panel to 5 1/4 X 4 inches for the scene. I made some masks for the images, and I stamped and masked as I went, using Momento Tuxedo Black Ink for stamping the images I was going to color.

  I drew in lines for the cabana, horizon, and beach with a pencil before I started ink blending and then colored the images.  After I finish coloring and blending I stamped and embossed the sentiment. I added the glossy accents, the Sparkle Pen for the reflection of the sunset on the water. After it dried I adhered the panel to the card base and used a black Zig Marker to outline the wires on the string lights.

  Winter Fairy House ~ Fairy Warm Winter

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Jan 17th

  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a sweet little copic colored scene created using the cute Winter Fairy House stamp set from Scrapping for Less!! I am loving this adorable fairy cottage… it looks so cozy!

  

  I knew that I wanted to create a little snowy scene with the cottage from the Winter Fairy House stamp set and the trees from the Winter Fairies stamp set. They work perfectly together!! I stamped the cottage on a card front of white card stock measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I then stamped the cottage and trees on another piece of white card stock and colored them with the following copic markers:

  Fairy Cottage ~ BV00, BV02, BV08, BV11, R00, R81, R83, Y000, Y11, N0, N1, N2, N4

  Trees ~ YG0000, YG11, YG61

  Snow ~ C00, C1, C3

  Sky ~ B0000, B000, B00, B01

  

  Once all the trees and the cottage were colored, I fussy cut them and cleaned up the edges with a Memento tuxedo black marker. I even cut apart a pair of trees giving me more options in creating my scene. I then set the images aside and grabbed the card front that I had previously stamped the cottage on. I wanted to create a snowy scene but still have a lot of white left on the card… since I was going to basically paper piece the cottage I was able to color over the image on the card front but still have an idea of placement for all of the images. 

  

  I started by drawing a light line of blue with the lightest blue copic marker across the card front to divide the sky and the snow. I then colored the sky by just flicking my markers upwards working from lightest to darkest blue until I was happy with the blend. I then added just a little bit of shadow with a light gray copic marker for all of my snow. I placed the trees in the areas that I planned to adhere them and colored the shadows for those, as well. 

  

  I adhered all of the elements for my scene using a liquid glue and then adhered the entire panel to a dark purple card base… I think this turned out really cute! To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white card stock and mat it on black card stock. I adhered it to the card and decided this one was done. I just love how cozy this little scene feels!

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

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

• A Fairy Happy Birthday!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Hi everyone!

  Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde sharing with you a scene card I made using stamps from SFL’s VERY FIRST RELEASE! I used Winter Fairies & Fairy House to create a scene card. Here’s a quick run down of how I made it:

  • stamped images in Gina K. Amalgam black ink (I stamped the fairy in Whisper Amalgam ink thinking I would do the no line coloring on the fairy)
  • used Inkadinkado masking paper to mask off both images and fussy cut them out
  • used Distress Oxide Inks in Salty Ocean and Tumbled glass to create the sky
  • colored images in with Copic markers (forgot yet again to take a pic of which colors I used!)
  • realized that the no line coloring was not working and had to do some card repair and stamp, color, and cut out the fairy image and placed her over the no line image
  • used Nuvo Drops in White Blizzard to fill in the snow drifts and snow on the house
  • also added  yellow stickles to the star wand
  • then heat embossed the sentiment in white embossing powder

  Here’s my boo boo:

  Winter Fairies ~ Bright Fairy Wishes

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Jan 10th

  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with another sweet card using the adorable Winter Fairies stamp set by Scrapping for Less. I couldn’t wait to ink up this adorable fairy napping on the moon… doesn’t she just look so happy?! Love it!

  

  I started by stamping the cute fairy on the moon with Memento tuxedo black ink and then I colored the image in with the following copic markers:

  Skin ~ E000, E00, E21, R00, R20

  Hair ~ E35, E37

  Clothes ~ RV0000, RV10, RV11, C00, C1

  Moon/Cloud ~ Y000, Y11, Y13, Y18, B000

  Once the cute fairy and moon were colored, I fussy cut them… and even used my craft knife to cut the tiny space between the fairy’s hat and the moon. I just realized that I missed the space between her hat and her wing… oops! Anywho, I set that aside and got to work on the background.

  

  I blended a tiny bit of Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink in the center left portion of the panel and blended some Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks around that center portion working my way outwards to the edge. I blended over these a few times to get just the right blend. I then dried my background with a heat tool and splattered some white acrylic paint onto the background for my stars.

  

  I set the background aside to dry and die cut the stitched scallop frame from Gina Marie Designs and the stitched clouds from Lawn Fawn, both from white card stock. I then adhered the clouds to the back of the frame piece and trimmed the edges. I trimmed down the blended background to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ and then popped up the frame/cloud piece on the blended background.

  

  I then adhered the entire panel onto a white card base. I love how this sweet card turned out! I sure hope that you like it too!

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

  Inky Hugs,

  Crystal

  Winter Fairies by SFL!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Jan 9th

  

  Hi crafty friends! Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde with a fairy fun shaker card to show off SFL’s new release! (Sorry I couldn’t help myself.) Shaker cards are fun, versatile and add a little something out of your ordinary everyday card. Over the years I have watched many videos of how to make them, different methods and tricks. Every time I sit down to make a shaker card I feel like I’m learning for the first time. I will say this card might be the one I had the least amount of trouble with but please note the trouble is mine not in the technique itself. It’s actually a very simple process I just struggle with it for some strange reason. I have to take each step slowly so that I don’t glue the wrong pieces together.  I was so happy with the way it turned out!

  Here’s a quick run down of what I did:

  • stamped sentiment on the clear acetate sheet  (after hitting it with an Embossing Magic Pad so the embossing powder wouldn’t cling where I didn’t want it to) with VersaFine black onyx ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder
  • the image from Winter Fairies by SFLwas stamped with Memento black ink then was colored with Prismacolor pencils & maybe Derwent inktense pencils (I keep them in the same case and when I’m coloring I am usually just looking for the right color not which brand)
  • fussy cutted out the image and then went around the edges with a Memento marker in black ink (gives it a finished look even if your edges are a little rough)
  • blinged it up a little with Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen on the moon, her hat and wings (not sure you’ll be able to see it though)
  • the sequins are from my stash and went perfectly with the paper I was using from the Winter in Pink 6×6 paper pad from SFL
  • used Couture Creations 3D Foam Strips-white to create the shaker space (these worked like a dream! and I credit them for making the process much smoother for me this go round)
  •  used a scallop circle frame die to create the shaker window

  I was thrilled with the way it turned out and I am well on my way to using ALL the sentiments between the Winter Fairies stamp set & the Fairy House stamp set!  

  

  

  

  Above I’ve included the links on the pics for the individual products or you can click the pic below where I’ve included the link to get the bundle.

  

  Thank you so much for stopping in today and checking out the blog! Take some time and look around the other design team members have done some really great work with this release. No such thing as too much inspiration right?

  Keep on Crafting!

  Kim 🙂

  Jan 8th

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here with a single layer card using the Brand New Release from SFL “Winter Fairies” and “Fairy House“! How adorable are these sets! I colored the images and created the scene with Copic Markers, and I finished up the card by stamping the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink added a few sequins and you can’t have Fairies without some Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen!

  Check out the process video HERE!

  

  I made an A2 size card or 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 inches, I cut a panel to 5 1/4 X 4 inches for the scene. I made some masks for the images, I stamped and masked as I went, using Momento Tuxedo Black Ink for stamping the images I was going to color. I drew in some hills with a pencil before I started coloring.   I colored the panel.  Once I finished coloring I adhered the panel to the card base, added a few sequins and used the Sparkle Pen on tops of hills, the roof, the white parts of her hat, and the accents on her dress and shoes.

• Winter Fairies Birthday Card – SFL New Release

  Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson

  Jan 6th

  

  Hello Everyone! Let’s just start by saying “YAY, A SFL Release”!! Today I am making a birthday card using the Winter Fairies 4×6 stamp set and pattern paper from the “Winter in Pink” 6×6 paper pad.

  I first started by making my background. I stamped out the fairy image and snowflake stamp all over the rectangle card stock. I decided to color those images using the cool gray Copic Markers (C1, C3 and C5).

  

  I also stamped the image and used a variety of Copics to color the wings, hair and skin. I also decided her dress needed some solid parts so I use Copic markers on the neck and middle of the dress. I paper pieced her dress using the pink snowflake paper from the Winter in Pink pattern paper. I adhered the pattern paper with liquid glue.

  While the glue dries on my fairy, I trimmed a piece of vellum with an oval die. Basically at this point my card is ready to put together and add some finishing details. I added “White Blizzard” Nuvo drops on the rim of her hat and Enchanting Pink Glitter Nuvo drops to the left on the vellum.

  

  On the inside, I just stamped the image with London Fog Memento Ink and added the sentiment from the stamp set “Happy Birthday”

  

  This release is So Exciting for SFL – right now you can get all 3 items in a bundle CLICK HERE for more information.

  

  

  

  Thank You So Much for stopping by! You can see the process video HERE on the SFL YouTube channel.

  I hope you enjoy and get inspired!
