Scrapping for Less ~ September 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit ~ Orchards and Patches

Fall is here! Let's take a trip to the Apple Orchard or maybe you want to go to the Pumpkin Patch! A little story about pumpkin patches... I started scrapbooking when our first grandchild was born. And boy did I love documenting everything about his growth. When he was 3 I wanted to take him to a pumpkin patch for the sole purpose of being able to do a photo shoot there and as a result create a scrapbook page. So whether you scrapbook or make cards, make sure you enjoy the fall weather and do something fun! Our Guest and Design Team has some fabulous projects to share with the September kit "Orchards and Patches." Please visit Scrapping for Less to get your kit.

Here's a quick look at the September 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit ~ Orchards & Patches...

Double Dip Subscription...

Banana Split Subscription...

So... what do you think?! Isn't it just gorgeous?! I love it!

I had a blast creating four cards to share with you all... let's get to it!

Collection One: Sweet Sunflower Patch

I masked this gorgeous stamp and stamped the flower and sentiment separate to create this beautiful card. Sunflowers are my second favorite flower and I always enjoy coloring them! I used the following Copic markers to color these images ~ Y000, Y02, Y13, Y35, YR24, YR27, E25, E29.

I adhered the beautiful trimmed panels to Nightshift Blue mats measuring 1-1/2 x 3". I then adhered the pretty paper to a Nightshift Blue mat measuring 4 x 5-1/4". I adhered the panel to a Lemon Drop card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" and then adhered the trio of panels to the card front. I wrapped the card front with the beautiful white organza ribbon and tied a faux bow ~ which is basically a knot. And then I adhered the entire card front to a white A2 top-fold card base.

Collection Two: Apple Orchard Pickin'

How stinkin' cute is this adorable gnome?! Oh my goodness... he is just too cute! I couldn't wait to ink him up and color! I had fun mix matching the papers included in this collection to create my layers for this card. I used the first sketch included in the September 2020 Sketch Sheet... but added a second circle for the sentiment. And I paper pieced his hat with the green with white polka dot papers.

I used the following Copic markers for this card:

Nose ~ E000, E00, E11

Beard ~ C00, C1, C3

Hat ~ YG11, YG23, R000, R14, R27

Grass ~ YG03, YG17

Outline ~ N1

Collection Three: Floral Patches

Another super cute image in the card kit this month... this Raggedy Ann scarecrow I've nicknamed Miss Patches. I had a so much fun doing a mix of copic coloring and paper piecing with this cute stamp! I also masked her to add the fence. Such a fun collection!

I used the following Copic Markers for this card:

Skin ~ E000, E01, E11

Nose/Eyes ~ YR15, R05, B000, B91, C1

Hair ~ Y02, Y11, Y15, Y35

Hat/Pocket ~ B000, B41, B91, B97, B99, R14, R46, R59, R89

Fence ~ E55, E57, E59

Grass ~ YG03, YG63, YG67, YG99

Sky ~ B0000

Collection Four: Pumpkin Patches and Harvest Wishes

If you saw my Sneak Peek from yesterday >>> Hello There Pumpkin <<< you shouldn't be too surprised to see that I have the teal truck featured on my card again! I couldn't help but use that piece of ephemera! I added a scrap of the pumpkin paper behind the ephemera to make it a fun feature piece for my card. Now this cute slimline card is our sketch for October's Sketch Challenge so get your creative juices flowing and get ready to play along with another slimline sketch challenge!! Yay! I hope you're as excited as I am! 

Anywho... back to my card. As you can see in the picture, there's a bunch of adorable ephemera pieces in this collection. I chose to feature a sentiment and frame for my card. I wanted to showcase the Speckled Orange card stock that's in the background {and such a cool card stock!!} but also break it up and share another fun paper from the card kit. So I cut a strip of the striped paper and mat it with Nightshift Blue card stock. I adhered a long 3/4" strip of Wild Cherry card stock underneath and then popped up the ephemera pieces with foam squares. I finished up this last card with a few enamel dots from the collection.

That's it for me this time!

Next up in the hop is... Christine!
