  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with my final blog post for Scrapping for Less. I have a quick card to share that I created using the October 2020 FOTM and then I’d like to go down memory lane a little bit with you. This is kind of a long post, but it’s mostly pictures… with a little chatter. I hope you’ll stick around until the end.
  
  I just love the Merry Christmas sentiment in the Christmas Elements stencil that was included the in the Banana Split subscription of the October 2020 FOTM card kit. I actually used it and had planned on sharing an extra card for the hop and reveal for the October kit but I didn’t have enough time. So I set it aside for another day. I have a quick video sharing my process for this card.
  
  You can check that out… here.
  
  I really love how this turned out! I hope you like it too!
  
  Now for some reminiscing…
  
  Way back in August of 2017 Teresa and Kim asked me to guest design for Scrapping for Less. This is my second card as a guest designer. Why didn’t I share my first card? Well… I like this one more. lol
  
  After a short guest design gig, Teresa and Kim asked me to join the design team and I was so elated!!
  
  I’m very grateful for the opportunity that Teresa and Kim gave me… it was literally the beginning of a crazy crafty journey that has led me to design for other companies and start my YouTube channel AND to illustrate some of my very own physical and digital stamps.
  
  So I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Teresa and Kim!!
  
  Now I’m going to share some of my favorite cards over the 3-1/2 years that I’ve designed for SFL and throw in some of my favorite cards created with my own stamps that I designed for SFL too.
  
  One of my absolute favorite cards… a slimline before the latest slimline trend! I colored and paper pieced this sweet scene way back in November 2018. You can check out the original post here… Have a Magical Christmas.
  
  Another favorite… the black base and pop of Fall colors really make this card so beautiful. You can check out the original post here… Fall Breeze card.
  
  Now this card has a special place in my heart as the first ever stamp that I designed for Scrapping for Less. I really enjoyed the process going back and forth with Teresa and Kim designing this beautiful stamp. You can check out the original post here… Nordic Winter card.
  
  Bright Fairy Wishes
  
  Fairy Warm Winter
  
  Bright Winter Wishes
  
  I was so honored when Teresa asked me to design the first ever stamp sets to be released outside of the card kits. I had so much fun designing the adorable Winter Fairies and the coordinating Fairy House. So much fun to illustrate and then to see them as physical stamps… awesome! There’s still a few sets available in the shop if you’d like to add these to your collection {click the links above}!!
  
  What little girl doesn’t dream of being Cinderella?! I had a blast drawing these glass slippers. You can check out the original post here… It’s All About the Girls. And there’s still some of these sweet Glass Slippers in the shop!
  
  Often times, Teresa would just give me a general idea for the stamp and let me run with it. I sure love the way this one turned out… I drew it with my daughter in mind. You can check out the original post here… Layered Stencils for CAS Cards. This cutie is still available in the shop… Live Your Best Life.
  
  Another fun one that turned out really cute. Here’s the original post… City Streets and Country Roads. There’s only a couple of these left in the shop… Country Roads.
  
  I had to giggle a little when Teresa shared her idea for this stamp. A chicken blowing bubble gum…?! Haha!! Definitely a fun request and one that I enjoyed drawing. Here’s the original post for this one… Bubble Galore. You can add this hilarious stamp to your collection here… Blowing Bubbles.
  
  And the last stamp that I designed for Scrapping for Less… I adore snowmen so this one I will cherish forever! Here’s the original post for this one… Christmas is Covered.
  
  Well… that was a little long, but I hope you enjoyed reminiscing with me. I do have one last card to share and this one is my absolute favorite card of all time while creating for Scrapping for Less…
  
  I love love love this card! The design is so pretty. I’m so happy with the coloring on the die cut pieces. And that sentiment speaks to my soul! You can check out the original post here… City Streets and Country Roads Sneak Peek. This die is actually still in the shop!! Get it here… Flowery Camera die!!
  
  Okay. Well, I’ve delayed the end here long enough. Thank you for following my crafty journey while with Scrapping for Less. If you’re interested, you can continue following my crafty journey here:

  “May you touch dragonflies and stars, dance with fairies, and talk to the moon.”
  
  Hello! Kim here from Cardmaking Blonde bringing you my most recent card created using SFL’s “Winter Fairies” stamp set. The sentiment used is from SFL’s “Fairy House” stamp set.
  
  Here’s how this card came together:
  
  -background was created using a stencil and texture paste that was dyed yellow with distress ink
  
  -stamped fairy out in Gina K. amalgam black ink
  
  -colored the image in with Copic Markers and fussy cut it out
  
  -used a memento marker in black to go around the edges of the image so it would have a more finished look
  
  -adhered the image with 3-D foam squares
  
  -stamped sentiment in Versafine ink in majestic blue
  
  The “Winter Fairies” and “Fairy House” stamp sets go perfectly together and are super versatile!
  
  That wraps up this weeks card for me, I hope you are able to find some time for yourself this week and get creative! Thanks again for stopping by the blog.
  
  Keep on creating,
  
  Kim 🙂

  Hey there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple of easy Fun Fold cards using the adorable Winter Fairies and Winter Fairy House stamp sets, along with the recently release Neutrals Vol. 1 paper pad! I love using non-traditional colors for my Christmas cards and this new paper was perfect for the card I’m sharing today!
  
  So this one piece of paper in particular looks like snowflakes to me… I thought it would be really cute for a Christmas card. What do you think?
  
  A close-up of the copic coloring. I used the following Copic markers for this card:
  
  Skin ~ E000, E01, E11
  
  Hair ~ E21, E23, E27
  
  Clothes/Wings/Wand ~ BV0000, BV000, BV11, C00, C1, C2
  
  The inside of the card… I used the Christmas Sentiments stamp set.
  
  Love the font for this one!
  
  You can check out my process video for this card here…
  
  And my Copic Coloring of the Winter Fairies fairy here…
  
  I actually made this Fun Fold Card first, but I added SO many layers that I wanted to make a quicker version to share with you all so I made a more CAS card. But how adorable is this one!! I really love the soft pinks and greens and I pulled those colors from the beautiful Winter in Pink paper pad… one of my absolute fave papers for Christmas!!
  
  I used the same stamp sets for this card… Winter Fairies, Winter Fairy House, and Christmas Sentiments.
  
  And the inside… Ahhh-dorable!!! Am I right?! I created a little scene with the Winter Fairy House and the cute fairy snoozing on the moon.
  
  Here’s a close-up of the inside.
  
  And here’s a list of the Copic Markers I used for this card:
  
  Skin ~ E000, E01, E11
  
  Hair ~ E51, E53, E55
  
  Clothes ~ RV10, R81, R83, R85, YG03, YG11, Y000, Y11, C00, C1
  
  Moon ~ Y000, Y11, Y02
  
  Cloud ~ C00, C1, RV10, R81, R83
  
  House ~ RV10, R81, R83, R85, Y000, Y11, Y02, E51, E53, E55, YG03, YG11, YG25
  
  Stairs ~ N0, N1, N2, N4
  
  Snow ~ C00, C1, C2
  
  Smoke ~ N0, N1, N2, N4
  
  Trees ~ YG03, YG11, YG25
  
  That’s it for me this week!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- A Warm Fairy Hello with SFL’s Winter Fairies!

  A Warm Fairy Hello
  
  Hello Crafty Friends!
  
  Kim here from @CardmakingBlonde. Today I am sharing a scene card that was made using SFL’s “Winter Fairies” stamp set AND “Fairy House” stamp set. For this card I started by stamping the string lights then decided what other elements worked best and the scene pretty much built itself. You may notice that beside the house is only one tree and that was intentional because space was certainly needed between the tree and the fairy.
  
  The sky in the background is a blend of Copic Markers. Since the string lights were “on” I really wanted a dusk or early evening sky which also turned out to be a wintry sky as well so that was a nice unexpected bonus. If you look closely the paper trimming the scene is from SFL’s “Winter in Pink” paper pad. The fairy is colored in delicate pinks to go with that paper and it wasn’t until I went to adhere it all that I realized my scene just didn’t leave much space for the patterned paper but the snowflakes made a nice mat for it.
  
  Thanks so much for stopping in today, I hope you are inspired to get crafty!
  
  Keep on creating,
  
  Kim 🙂

- 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.
  
  Photo credit: The Color Catalog By SRC on Instagram
  
  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
  
  Jan 16th
  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:
