Here's a quick look at the November 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit ~ Simply Sentimental...

Double Dip Subscription...

Banana Split Subscription...

This card kit is seriously sentimental... and fabulous!!!

I had a blast creating my cards to share with you all... let's check them out!

Collection One: Puppy Paws

How adorable is this sweet puppers?! Oh my goodness... with this sweet stamp plus all the adorable papers in the Puppy Paws papers you just can't help but smile when you see them. I couldn't wait to play with this collection. I used the first sketch in the November 2020 Sketch Sheet and really this card was quick! I used the following Copic markers for the pup: 

Fur ~ W00, W1, W2, W4

Tongue ~ R00, R14

Nose ~ N0, N1, N4

Paws ~ R00, W1, W2

Collection Two: Thanks So Much

The papers in this collection are absolutely gorgeous!! I just had to feature the beautiful floral paper for this card... I love it! I stamped the sentiment with Sweet Blush ink on white card stock and ended up having to trim the left side to fit in the angle there. I would definitely recommend adhering your sentiment first... lol. Hindsight and all that, am I right? 

Collection Three: Family Ties

So... I was instantly drawn to the gray and teal papers in the Family Ties paper pack! Amazing!!! I paired them up with the dark grey card stock... love this card!  I used a corner rounder on the two top corners and a stitched hillside die on the teal flower papers. I stamped the sentiment with Weathervane ink and die cut it with a circle die. I then mat it with a scalloped circle cut from the same dark grey card stock. Love love love this card!

Collection Four: Wildflowers

And another collection with beautiful aqua colors in the paper!!! Be still my heart!! Of course, I paired it up with the kraft card stock in the kit. I used Classic Kraft ink for this card from Papertrey Ink and colored the flowers very simply with BG10 and BG23. Love the fabulous ephemera pieces in this collection! They make for such a quick card! I used this fantastic collection for my sneak peek. If you missed it you can check it out here... Sneak Peek card!!

That's it for me this time!

Here's a quick look at the October 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit ~ Christmas is Covered...

Double Dip Subscription...

Banana Split Subscription...

Ohhh... the Christmas kit is always my favorite and this one is amazing!

Let's get to the cards!!

Collection One: Classic Cardinals

I used two pretty patterned papers for my background on this card. I stamped the focal image using Memento Tuxedo black ink on white card stock that I die cut with the Tag Die included in the Banana Split subscription. I will be using this Tag Die a lot! I love it! I popped up the tag with foam squares and added a little red bow and a couple enamel dots to finish this one off. I also made my Sneak Peek with this collection, you can check that out here if you missed it.

I used the following copic markers for this card:

Bird ~ R00, R14, R46, W2 W5, C1, C2

Holly ~ YG11, G24, G94

Berries ~ R00, R14, R46

Collection Two: Starry Night Wishes

I love snowmen... and this one is dear to my heart since I illustrated him for this kit. I think he turned out pretty cute! I knew I had to use him for this sketch... it's actually a sneak peek of our new November Sketch Challenge in the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group. I hope you'll come check out our challenge and play along! 

I used the following copic markers for this card:

Snowman ~ C00, C2

Hat, Glove & Scarf ~ B28, B41

Nose ~ YR15, YR21, YR68

Arm ~ E55, E57

Stars ~ Y000, Y06, Y35

Sky ~ B0000

Collection Three: Merry Special Delivery

The rustic papers in this collection are amazing!! I love the gray kraft color along with white and red... so beautiful! I blended some Candied Apple, Barn Door, and Black Soot over the star on the Christmas Elements Stencil that's included in the Banana Split subscription. I can see this star in so many fun colors... love it! 

I stamped the little sentiment from the Merry Special Delivery stamp set using markers to ink it up... Real Red, Wild Wasabi, and Memento Tuxedo black. I finished off this card with a couple red enamel dots.

This collection also includes a couple white tags and I made these very simple... I just stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink and added a little strip of patterned paper to the bottom. And finished off the pretty ribbon for the tops.

Collection Four: Believe

The ephemera pieces in this collection are almost too cute... I almost want to just hoard them!! I love the sweet Santa! I did decide to use one for my card. I love the sentiments in the Believe stamp set too! So fun! I ended up using both on my card and adding a red enamel dot for the reindeer nose off of the 'v'. I wish I had thought to add some sparkle to the snowflake... but I still might do that!

I do have a video for this card on my YouTube channel... you can check that out here.

Here's a quick look at all the cards, plus the two tags that I created.

That's it for me this time.

Scrapping for Less ~ Easy Fun Fold Card with Winter Fairies

Hey there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing 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:

And my Copic Coloring of the Winter Fairies fairy here... Copic Coloring of Fairy 

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.

Scrapping for Less ~ A Couple Cute Christmas Cards

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a couple of cute Christmas cards using a mix of new and old Christmas products from Scrapping for Less! I used the new beautiful Red Christmas paper pad along with the Christmas Sentiments and Reindeer Games stamp sets.

A fabulous mix of pretty papers and adorable stamps along with a fun sketch makes for some adorable Christmas cards to add to my stash! Speaking of a fun sketch... I'm using the sweet sketch over at Poetic Artistry for the current Mojo Monday #544 sketch challenge.

The linky for this sketch challenge is open for just a couple more days... you can check it out here at Mojo Monday 544!! 

Using a white card base for my first card helps the white in the patterned papers to pop on the card... really drawing your eye to all the pretty papers!

I just love this cute Reindeer kid from the stamp set... so fun to color!

I love the mix of kraft, red, and white in these papers... one of my favorite color combos AND perfect for Christmas cards!! I probably shouldn't have included the tree... it kinda messes with the color scheme but it's so cute!

I used the following Copic markers for both cards:

Reindeer Kid ~ R14, R20, R27, E000, E23, E25, E31, E34, E51, YR23, YR27

Christmas Tree ~ G24, G28, G29, Y06, Y17, R14, R20, R27, E55, E57, E59, B000, B01

Have you started on your Christmas cards yet? I have just over a dozen in my stash... I really need to get more done so I'm not freaking out around the holidays. Well, that's it for me this time.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ August 2020 Flavor of the Month Card Kit ~ Bubbles Galore

Bubbles! Who doesn't love playing with bubbles? Some may think they are for children but take out a bottle of bubbles and just see how many people would love to chase one down or wait for it to land on your finger so you can pop it! 

This month's kit is all about bubbles of all kinds...so grab a bottle of bubbles or go soak in a bubble bath and hop along as you see what the Design Team and guest designer have to share! You can find this month's kit under the Card Kits tab on the home page of the website. Make sure you also enter our Rafflecopter for a chance to win a prize. ~ Teresa, {SFL Owner}

Here's a quick look at the August 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Bubbles Galore!!

Double Dip Subscription...

Banana Split Subscription...

Oh my bubbles... I am loving this kit!

Lots of gorgeous papers, adorable stamps and all the embellishments... a must have!

Collection One: Bubbles in the Tub

So... I absolutely adore the stamp in this collection, BUT when I saw the fun sketches for this month's kit I had to showcase the adorable papers!!! How sweet are those ducks and their bubbles?!

And that sentiment is spot on! A bubble bath can fix a lot of things!!

Supplies used (not found in the kit):

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Tombow Mono Multipurpose glue

Scrapbook Adhesive Foam Squares

Spellbinders Standard Circle dies

Collection Two: Country Bubbles

Oh my... do I love a punny stamp set! So when Teresa asked me if I could draw a chicken blowing a bubble, I wasn't sure what she was thinking! But I honestly adore how this collection came together. The punny ephemera pieces included in this collection really add to it!

You can check out the inside of this card by watching my YouTube video...

I love the mix of country and punny in this collection! So much FUN!

Supplies used (not found in the kit):

Copic Markers ~ RV0000, RV10, RV11, RV29 (bubble gum); C00, C1, C2, R000, R14, 

R27, YR0000, YR24 (chicken); G000, G03, G21 (grass); B0000, BG000 (sky)

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Tombow Mono Multipurpose glue

Scrapbook Adhesive Foam Squares

My Favorite Things Oval STAX Set 1

Stampin' Up Corner Rounder punch

Collection Three: Sea Wishes

I had a blast coloring up this sweet stamp... and cheated on my background by fussy cutting around the colored image and adhering it to the pretty patterned papers. Unfortunately, that meant I had to cut the bubbles away but I was able to replace them with the enamel dots included in the kit!

I have a short video sharing this card. You can check that out here...

A close up of this cute stamp! I just may have to color this one up again... I can see so many possibilities for this adorable fish!!

 Supplies used (not found in the kit):

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Tombow Mono Multipurpose glue

Spellbinders Standard Circle dies

Collection Four: Bubbles Galore

The papers in this collection are FANTASTIC!! The ombre backgrounds, the colors, the beautiful bubbles... oh my goodness!! I didn't want to cut into these! But alas, Teresa said I had to (not really)... I did struggle in picking which papers to use. I decided a pretty monochromatic card using this ephemera piece was the ticket! AND those sequins were perfect with this card!

Such a fast card... and I love how it turned out!

Scrapping for Less ~ July 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Tropical Fruit Collection

Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing one more card using the beautiful Tropical Fruit Collection of the July 2020 FOTM Card Kit!! I had fun designing this card with almost a monochromatic feel with all the green papers, but a splash of yellow and pink!

I really like the unique design of this card with the focal image to the side. Mix matching the pretty Tropical Fruit papers for this card was fun, too!

I really love this sentiment... so punny! I also enjoyed coloring these pretty pineapples. I used the following Copic markers: Y11, Y13, Y35, E23, RV34, RV91, YG03, YG11, YG13, YG17, YG63. I fussy cut the pineapples and adhered the larger one to the card front. I then popped up the smaller one using foam squares. I also popped up the sentiment and finished off the card with three pink enamel dots. I adhered the finished card front to a white card base. I think it turned out pretty cute!

That's it for me this time.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ July 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Tropic Vibes Collection

Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a couple of cute cards using the Tropic Vibes Collection of the July 2020 FOTM Card Kit! I am loving the gorgeous papers in this collection! For today's cards, I'm actually making two cards using one 6 x 6" sheet from the Tropic Vibes papers in the collection.

I trimmed the patterned paper to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8" and then used a stitched scallop border die to cut both ends of the paper. A great way to use gorgeous papers in a simple card design.

I trimmed a piece of white card stock to 4 x 5-1/4" and adhered it to a pink card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". I then adhered the patterned paper to the card front and then adhered the entire panel to a white card base. I popped up the beautiful Tropical Vibes ephemera piece as my focal image with foam squares and finished off the card with a few pink enamel dots.

My second card using the other piece of patterned paper... with the same design, just flipped!

A super easy way to get two cards (plus scraps for a third, maybe) from a 6 x 6" sheet of patterned paper. For this second card, I stamped the flamingo from the Tropic Vibes stamp set and colored it with the following Copic markers ~ R00, R01, RV00, RV10, RV21, RV23, Y11, Y13.

A look at both cards together! Love how these turned out!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
