Scrapping for Less ~ November 2020 FOTM Card Kit ~ Sneak Peek

 Hello crafty friend! 

Today I'm sharing one last sneak peek for the November 2020 FOTM card kit!!! And it's kind of bittersweet as it's the last ever sneak peek for the last Scrapping for Less card kit. *sigh* But... rest assured that this kit will not disappoint!! As with all other card kits prior to this one... it's absolutely awesome!! Enough with the chit chat... let's check out my sneak!

It was hard to choose which ephemera piece to feature on my card... but this gorgeous floral is, well... gorgeous!! This card features products from Collection Four and I used the current sketch over at Poetic Artistry's Mojo Monday sketch challenge #550. It was the perfect sketch for this collection!

Isn't the font on that sentiment just lovely?! I love it! 

You can check out my process video for this card... here!

That's it for me! 

Be sure to head back to the SFL blog tonight at midnight EST for the reveal of the entire Simply Sentimental card kit and hop along with us!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ Sketch Challenge #9 ~ Christmas is Covered Card Kit

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing the new November Sketch Challenge for the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group! 

Before we get to the sketch and the card that I'm sharing today... the key to playing along with the challenge is being a member of the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group so if you aren't already a member be sure to join in the fun ---> 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 into the challenge album in the group. You are welcome to include a link to your blog in the description of your creation, if you'd like.

So, if you follow my blog you may remember this card design from a few months ago. I used it on another card and I really like how fast it came together so I decided to use it for this challenge.

You may also remember seeing this sketch during the reveal and hop for the new October 2020 FOTM Card Kit - Christmas is Covered... if you haven't hopped with us yet, you can start hopping ---> here.

And here is my card for inspiration using some products from the beautiful Christmas is Covered Card Kit that just released! This was super easy to create... I think it may be a go-to Christmas card design for my stash, especially using the adorable Ephemera pieces!!

Here's a close up of the card! I have a video showing my process in creating this card. Just a note, I added the enamel dots after doing the video. I realized I had omitted those when taking my photos of the cards. LOL... but they really finish it off nice.

I actually made this one first to share but then decided to make a video with another card to share how quickly it came together. Love these ephemera pieces!! So cute!

Both cards together! I really hope you'll check out the sketch challenge and play along! I know it's getting ready to be a busy time for many preparing for the holidays so a quick card sketch can help when it comes to making those holiday cards for your stash!

The November Sketch Challenge will run from today, November 1st, and will end November 30th at 11:59pm EST. The winner will be announced in the comments of the challenge album on Tuesday December 1st. Please use #sflsketchchallenge9 in any social media posts when playing along with the challenge. I can't wait to see what you create!

~ Teresa, {SFL Owner}

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 ~ Quick Cards ~ Orchards & Patches Card Kit

 Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with another look at the beautiful September 2020 FOTM Card Kit called Orchards & Patches... I'm using the adorable Apple Orchard Pickin' paper pad along with one of the sketches from the September 2020 Sketch Sheet 

for a few quick cards!

I've used the cute Cut-Aparts from the Apple Orchard Pickin' paper pad to create these sweet Fall inspired cards.

Here's a close up look of my cards...

And here's a link to the video... September 2020 FOTM ~ 3 Quick Cards with Cut-Aparts.

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):

Copic Markers ~ YR15, YR31, YR68 (fish); YR15, YR31, Y06, B000, B41 (cake); 

YG13, YG63 (seaweed); E18, E30, E33 (sand/rocks)

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!

 Supplies used (not found in the kit):

Tombow Mono Multipurpose glue

Scrapbook Adhesive Foam Squares

That's it for me this time!
