Scrapping for Less ~ September 2019 Flavor of the Month Card Kit Inspiration

Hello there crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing some inspiration using the September 2019 Flavor of the Month Card Kit called Fall is Coming!! I am so happy that I finally have this beautiful kit in my inky hands!! 

I'm sure that you have heard of the delays in the Design Team receiving the kits this month and mine was even more delayed because my family was on our annual Fall vacation. I got home late on Wednesday and was hoping to play with the card kit but there was yet another delay... a mix up with the post office and our held mail was not delivered. I finally received it yesterday and was able to get a couple cards made so let's have a look, shall we?!

Knowing that my time was limited to get my DT post up and ready for the morning, I decided to focus on the wonderful Color In Cut A-parts by Photo Play that are included in Collection Four. I colored in the first Cut A-part using the following Copic markers ~ Y11, Y15, Y17, Y35, YR15, YR21, YR68, R14, R29, R59. I just adore this image!! 

I trimmed down the Cut A-part and set it aside. I cut my layers for the card and adhered them to the Chocolate Brown card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". I ran a piece of Tangy Orange card stock through my Big Shot with the Eyelet Elegance Rectangle die by Gina Marie Designs. I adhered the Cut A-part panel to the orange die cut piece and popped up the entire panel on the card with foam tape. To finish off the card I added a few of the gorgeous enamel dots also from Gina Marie Designs that are included in Collection Four.

Since I had the Cut A-parts on my desk and the Copic Markers, I decided to make another card with a similar design. I love how fast I was able to make these cards using these wonderful Cut A-parts!! I hope that you've enjoyed my cards and that I've inspired you to use these Cut A-parts from your kit.

And if you haven't yet seen this month's wonderful card kit, here's a look at the 

Double Dip Subscription...  

... and the Banana Split Subscription...

Scrapping for Less ~ Teresa Talks Fall ~ More Fall Inspiration!!

Hello there crafty friends!

I have another Fall card to share with you today in lieu of our monthly Flavor of the Month card kit blog hop. Sadly, some items for the card kit were delayed so the kits are delayed. But when they do arrive, I will be a cardmaking ninja and get some cards created to share with you all!! 

For today, though... we're revisiting an old friend, The Teresa Talks Fall stamp!! Isn't she lovely?! When I was searching through my stash of Fall themed stamps for a sentiment to go with my Tumbleblossom Cluster card a couple of weeks ago, I found this beauty... and since she was already on my desk, I thought I'd ink her up and make a card!

I stamped the girl on a scrap of white card stock and colored her in with the following Copic markers:

Skin ~ E000, E00, R00, R20

Hair ~ E37, E47, E79

Clothes ~ B91, B95, B97, BG70, BG72, BG75, N0, N3, N5

Mug ~ N0, N3, YR0000, YR15, YR21, YR68

Ground ~ N0, N3

I fussy cut her out and set her aside. I then stamped the sentiment using some Stampin' Up! markers (Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust, and Chocolate Chip) and my Stamp Platform. It took a few tries to get the colors just how I wanted and the Stamp Platform made that so much easier! I die cut the card stock using a scallop stitched border die from My Favorite Things. I positioned the girl just so on my card stock, removed her and then colored in the "ground". I then adhered the girl to the panel. I had already picked out the gorgeous Fall Breeze papers by Photo Play... I love the rich, beautiful colors in this paper pad!! Can't help but use it every chance I get! I adhered the trimmed piece of diagonally striped patterned paper to a mustard card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". I then adhered that piece to a white card base. I adhered a strip of the same mustard card stock to the side of the white focal panel and then adhered the focal panel to the card. 

I craft-lifted fellow design team member Lynnea's idea to stick the pumpkin stickers onto white card stock and fussy cut them like stamped images, also adding a few of the leaves from the Autumn Pumpkin stickers by Sticko. To finish off the card, I added a few enamel dots from Echo Park's Celebrate Autumn collection. I just adore how this card turned out! I hope you like it too!

Be sure to stop by the Scrapping for Less blog for the reveal of the September 2019 Flavor of the Month card kit called Fall is Coming!! I'm so excited to get inky with this kit and share with you all!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ Tumbleblossom Cluster ~ Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello there crafty friends!

Today, I'm here with another look at the fabulous Tumbleblossom Cluster stamp set by Stamping Bella... this stamp is absolutely stunning and such a dream to color! I had so much fun watercoloring it last week that I just had to color it up with my copic markers.

It's been a very long time since I've attempted an Eclipse card and I thought it would be so fun to use the florals in this stamp as my eclipse background. Can you see the "Thanks" in the midst of the florals? It's not super easy to see in this first picture but the closeup pictures that follow you can see it more and more.

I used the following Copic markers to color these beautiful flowers in Autumn hues ~ Y000, Y06, Y17, YR000, YR15, YR27, YR68, BG70, BG72, BG75, YG11, YG95, YG97, R000, R00, R11, R14, R20, R56, R89. I added touches of white in the centers of some of the flowers with a white gel pen.

I die cut the thanks from the center of the flowers and then again three more times from scraps of kraft card stock. I then stamped the "+ giving" from the Fall Breeze stamp set by Photo Play, masking the "thanks" portion of the sentiment, onto a scrap piece of black card stock with VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I trimmed it down and set it aside.

 I die cut the flowers with the scallop peekaboo rectangle and then die cut a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" piece of black card stock. I adhered the two pieces onto a thin piece of white card stock and adhered the "thanks" die cut pieces. I then popped up the "+ giving" sentiment with foam squares. To finish off the card, I added several Chalk White Nuvo Stone Drops.

Here's one more look at the card. I sure hope that you like my second Autumn take on this lovely cluster stamp. I truly enjoyed making it and I hope I've inspired you to give the Eclipse technique a try. Such a fun technique!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ Photo Play ~ Fall Breeze

Hello there crafty friends!! 

Today, I'm sharing a Fall themed card!! I am so excited for Fall... I love all things Fall!! Particularly, the cooler weather... I'm way over the hot days of Summer!! I'd much rather have a warm cup of coffee while cozying up with a blanket while reading, so it almost felt cooler just making this card while dreaming of those days ahead.

How sweet is that little fox?! He looks so snug all nestled up with those pumpkins amidst the wreath of leaves. I love making wreaths and I just love how this one came 

together with the fox included. 

I stamped all of the leaves, pumpkins and the fox from the Fall Breeze stamp set by Photo Play on white card stock and then colored them all in with the following Copic markers:

Leaves ~ Y000, Y06, Y17, Y35, E23, E25, E27, R000, R11, R14, R27, YR15, YR21, YR68

Pumpkins ~ YR15, YR21, YR27, YR68, E23, E27

Fox ~ E000, E37, E95, E97, E99

I fussy cut each of those leaves... oy was that something! But definitely worth the effort! I also fussy cut the pumpkins and the fox. I went over the edges of the colored images with my Memento tuxedo black marker and then started laying out my wreath. It wasn't working quite right so I decided to die cut a wreath base using a Wreath die by Gina Marie Designs. Once I had that as my base I was able to lay out the leaves just right.

I adhered all of the pieces to the wreath and set it aside to dry. I then pulled out a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" piece of black card stock from my stash and blended some Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink in the upper center portion of the card stock for a night sky. I then die cut a circle in a post it note for a mask and masked the black portion of my card stock. I splattered some watered down white acrylic paint for my stars in my night sky. I set that aside to dry and added foam squares to the wreath.

I got excited and popped up that wreath on the card before stamping my sentiment but it worked out since I used my stamp platform to stamp the sentiment with VersaMark watermark ink (which I did twice to ensure it was stamped well) and then heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. To finish off the card, I tied a double bow of jute twine and then adhered it with some Multi Medium Matte.

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ Sketch Challenge #1 ~ Fall Breeze

Hello there crafty friends!

Today, I'm so excited to share the September challenge over at Scrapping for Less: Show & Share!! In order to play along there are a few rules...

Pretty easy, right?!?! 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. You are welcome to include a link to your blog in the description of your creation.

And then check out our Sketch Challenge #1...

A fun little sketch to get you inspired! Now, let's check out the card I created using the sketch...

Pretty cute and the only thing I stamped was the sentiment from the adorable Fall Breeze stamp set by Photo Play. I stamped it with VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I also used the gorgeous Fall Breeze papers by Photo Play and fun Autumn Pumpkins stickers by Sticko. 

I love challenges and truly love sketch challenges... they are so fun and take the hard work of designing a card and make it so much easier. But I always say that challenges should inspire not require so this sketch is open to interpretation! Even I moved the sentiment to the other side of the card... it just got lost in that other corner. As long as your card has the main elements and they're in the approximate position... you're good to go!! 

This challenge will run from today, September 2nd and will end September 30th at 11:59pm EST.  The winner will be announced on Friday, October 4th. Please use #sflsketchchallenge1 in any social media posts when playing along with the challenge.

Lots of time to play along!! I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ Lawn Fawn ~ Critters Down Under

 Hello there crafty friends!

 I'm here today with a sweet baby card using the adorable Critters Down Under stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I couldn't resist also using the Kraft & Gold cardstock stack from DCWV again... love these papers!!

My card design today uses the fabulous sketch over at Mojo Monday Sketch challenge 520... only I turned the sketch on the side and moved the sentiment up to make my design work. I do love a good sketch! And this one was perfect for my card today! 

Along with the fun Kraft & Gold papers I used the Fall Breeze papers from Photo Play... they coordinated beautifully! Since I knew I was doing a baby card, I chose the foiled hearts paper to adhere to my card base. I then used the Fall Breeze patterned papers and mat them on Lost Lagoon card stock from my stash. I die cut a cross stitched circle using the Large Cross Stitched Circle dies from Lawn Fawn and built my scene of stamped and colored images on the circle.

Here's a close up of the little scene I created. I used the following Copic markers for my card:

Platypus ~ BG000, BG70, BG72, BG75, YR15, YR16, YR21, E55, E57

Tree ~ E55, E57, E59, YG11, G24, G99

Egg ~ YR21, YR30, BG72, BG75

I had so much for with this sketch that I decided to do a second card...

This time I kept the sketch upright and used the sweet Koala Doodlepop for my focal image. I used Dark Chocolate and New Leaf card stock for my layers and of course, I had to use a bit more of the fabulous Kraft & Gold papers!! The sentiment is actually from the Critters Down Under set, however, it actually says 'hoppy birthday' so I changed the 'o' into an 'a' just using my Memento tuxedo black marker. Easy peasy!!

In the close up photo you can really see that beautiful shine in the gold foil stripes of the paper! Love it! Well, that's it for me today... I sure hope that you've enjoyed my cards for today!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! 

See ya next time.

Unity Stamp Company ~ August 2019 Kit of the Month ~ Warm & Cozy

Hello there crafty friends!

Today, I am sharing a fall themed card using stamps from the new August 2019 Kit of the Month called Warm & Cozy... I am loving all the beautiful stamps in this month's kit!! I'm also playing along with the Sketch Saturday sketch which inspired my card design for today! I love a great sketch and couldn't pass this one up!

I started by die cutting my pretty patterned papers... these are the Fall Breeze papers by Photo Play and I just love the rich beautiful colors in this paper pad. I'm especially drawn to the teal blue in the background of this paper so I had to use this paper for my background. I also wanted to use the dark brown paper that's on the other side of this patterned paper so I trimmed my paper down to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" and then centered my stitched rectangle die on the teal blue side of the paper. I ran it through my big shot and then I flipped over the outer edge of the paper and bam... the best of both worlds! I get to use both sides of the paper! I adhered them to a scrap piece of cheap white card stock that was slightly larger just so I could make sure to get the die cut and the negative lined up just right. I then trimmed off the excess around the edges and adhered this layer to a white card base. I trimmed my striped patterned paper and adhered it to the card and then set it aside.

I've had this beautiful image sitting on my desk just waiting for an opportunity to color and I had fun using some rich browns and cream colors! Here's a list of the Copic colors I used:

Nut ~ E21, E23, E25 (bottom/stem), E55, E57, E59 (top)

Flowers ~ YR30, YR31, E0000, E81, Y000, Y13, Y17

Leaves ~ YG11, G24, G99

I die cut a circle from the brown patterned paper and a slightly smaller circle from white card stock. I adhered them together and then trimmed down the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment and focal image to the die cut circle and then I popped the entire piece up on the card. To finish off this card, I added a tiny enamel dot.

If you're interested in a fun weekly challenge, check out the Sketch Saturday blog!! An awesome challenge blog filled with inspiration! The current challenge is almost over, but you can check it out here ---> Sketch Saturday #575.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ October 2018 Flavor of the Month Card Kit ~ Joy to the World

Joy to the World! That song so reminds me of Christmas because as a little girl I was full of joy and glee waiting for Christmas to arrive. Of course though, what child isn’t? Right? Well, I feel the same way every single month when it comes time to reveal the card kit. This month is no exception because Christmas cards are my most absolute favorite cards to make! So let’s get cracking on those Christmas cards! Have you started yours yet? Well, if not here are some fantastic little collections to get you going. So run don’t walk to make sure you get your Flavor of the Month kit this month, it is packed full of JOY! Also, you could win a past kit if you head back to the SFL blog and join in by participating in our rafflecopter!

Crafty peeps!! This month's kit is AMAZING!!! Oh my goodness... I'm not going to keep you waiting, let's get to the cards!

For my first card I used Sketch #1 with Collection One.

I cut and adhered my patterned papers to a piece of thin copy paper that I die cut with a stitched rectangle die. I adhered that to a piece of white card stock and then adhered the entire piece to a Jelly Bean Green card base. I set that aside and stamped the absolutely adorable Christmas Bug image by Stamping Bella with Memento tuxedo black ink. I colored the image in with the following Copic markers ~ Y06, Y11, Y13, Y17, YR02, YR16, R14, R27, V06, V09, G000, G14, YG63, YG67, BG0000, BG000, BG01, BG10, BG70, B0000, N0, N3, N6, C00, C3, 0.

I die cut a piece of patterned paper from the collection, as well as, a piece of white card stock using a stitched circle die. I layered the pieces and adhered them to the card. I fussy cut the Christmas Bug image and adhered it to the card. I stamped the sentiment {masking each separate word since it was too long to fit as it is} on Jelly Bean Green card stock using VersaMark ink and heat embossed some ultra fine white embossing powder. I trimmed the sentiment pieces and mat them on white card stock. I adhered the sentiment pieces to the card and then decided to add some fun Sprinkled Sugar Stickles from the Banana Split subscription to the snow on the Christmas Bug.

I added the stickles to the snow on the car and under the car! Really love that bit of sparkle the stickles adds to the image!

For my second card I used Sketch #2 with Collection Two.

I mat my patterned paper with red card stock and then adhered it to a white card base. I stamped the ornament image using Candied Apple and Barn Door distress inks. It's hard to see in the picture but the Barn Door distress ink gives the ornament some dimension... I applied it to the edges of the ornament. Sometimes pictures just don't cooperate. I heat embossed the top of the ornament with a gold embossing powder from my stash. I fussy cut that and adhered it to the top of the ornament. I adhered some of the ribbon included in the collection so that it hung down the piece of white card stock and then I tied a bow and adhered that with a pop dot. I cut two tags using the tag die from the Banana Split subscription. Since the tags are the same size I just adhered them to the card so the second tag from patterned paper would just peek out from behind. To finish off this card I added a couple sequins to the tag.

For my third card I used Sketch #4 with Collection Three.

Now if you're looking at the sketch for this card, you're going to notice I omitted a couple elements. I tried to make those other elements works but this card just didn't like it. It wanted to be simple layers with some fun sequins and some pretty shimmer from the stickles that I added to the snow on the street light. :) 

I adhered my layer of patterned paper on the Berrylicious card stock and then adhered it to a white card base. I die cut a cross stitched rectangle from white card stock and then I stamped the critter image with Memento tuxedo black ink. I stamped the image again on a post-it note to create my mask. I applied the mask to the image and then stamped the street light with the same black ink. I also stamped a mask for the street light. I fussy cut that out and applied it to the image. I blended some Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar distress inks around the masked images until I was satisfied with the coverage. 

I then removed the masks and colored the images with the following Copic markers:

Street Light/Song books ~ N0, N1, N2, N3, N5, N7, R14, R27, Y06, Y11, Y35.

Bear ~ E44, E47, RV21, RV34, N0, N5, R20, YG23,

Penguin ~ N0, N1, N5, B00, B12, YR15, YR68, and touches of white gel pen

Deer ~ E21, E23, E25, E31, E34, E51, E53, W00, W4, N0, N5, R20, B00, YG23, 0 

I stamped the sentiment and music notes. To finish off this card I added some sequins and some stickles to the top of the street light.

For my fourth card I used Sketch #3 with Collection Four.

I started by layering my patterned paper onto some Red Hot card stock and then I adhered it to a white card base. I cut a couple pieces of patterned paper from the collection and used my corner rounder to trim the corners. I adhered these pieces to scraps of Red Hot card stock that I trimmed and also trimmed the corners. I stamped the sweet snowman and the mug on a scrap piece of white card stock with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored the images in with the following Copic markers:

Santa ~ E000, E00, E51, N0, N1, N3, N7, R14, R20, R27, 0

Chimney ~ N0, N1, N3, R39, R89, E40, B0000 (highlights for the snow)

Mug ~ G19, G29, G99, N0, N1, E27

I added some shading around the Santa image using B0000 and then I die cut it using a circle die. I die cut some Red Hot card stock with a slightly larger circle die and then mat the Santa image. I adhered my patterned paper pieces to the card and then popped up the Santa image. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of Red Hot card stock with VersaMark ink and heat embossed some ultra fine white embossing powder. I trimmed the sentiment into a banner and popped it up on the card. I adhered a Sweater Sugar Cookie die cut that's included in the collection and then adhered the mug. To finish off the card I added a few sequins to tie in the green throughout the card.

That's my cards for today! I absolutely adore this kit!! It's perfect to get a start on your Christmas cards for this Holiday season that is just around the corner!

Thankful, Grateful, Blessed!

Soup is on! My favorite food to eat when it’s cool.
Sweaters and football! My favorite time of the year. 
Everything about fall is my favorite. What is yours? 

If it is all about crafting check out this fabulous and
fantastic fall kit Scrapping for Less has this month. 
Jump in and hop along for some great inspiration.

For my first card I used Sketch #1 with Collection One.

I started with a black card front adhered to a white card base and I added a layer of Lemon Drop card stock on top. I layered a piece of the diagonal striped patterned paper from the Let's Talk Bees patterned paper by Scrapping for Less onto a black mat, also part of the paper pack. I adhered that to the card base along with a strip of black patterned paper and set the card aside.

I stamped the adorable Bumblebee Marci stamp using Gina K.'s Amalgam black ink so that I could color the image with Copic markers and watercolor with Distress Crayons. The Banana Split subscription includes a few sheets of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor sheets and either a Mustard Seed or Wild Honey Distress Crayon. For my card, I used both the Wild Honey and Mustard Seed distress crayons. I also used the following Copic markers ~ N1, N3, N5, N7, E0000, E000, E00, E55, E57, E74, R20, G14.

I die cut the image/sentiment with a stitched rectangle die and popped it up on the card. I added a few sequins and called this one done. 

For my second card I used Sketch #2 with Collection Two.

For this card I really wanted to include a lot of pieces of the patterned paper.. I just love the rich colors! I cut the patterned papers from the Fall Breeze paper pack by Photo Play and mat them all on Hot Fudge card stock. I adhered all of my layers to a Tangy Orange card base and set it aside. 

I stamped this awesome Scarecrow Marci stamp, made exclusively for Scrapping for Less by La-La Land Crafts, on Neenah card stock and colored her in with the following Copic markers ~ Hair - YR23, YR24, E99; Clothes - BG45, BG72, BG75, YR07, YR27; Flowers - YR15, Y35, E17; Boots - YR27, E17, E74; Bird - N3, N5, N7, YR68; Skintone - E0000, E000, E00, R20.

I die cut the focal image with a circle die and sponged a bit of brown ink around the edges. I stamped the sentiment and die cut it with a banner die. I then die cut another banner using a slightly larger banner die and mat the sentiment. I popped up the focal image and the sentiment on the card using foam tape. I trimmed off the edge of the banner sentiment so it was flush with the edge of the card and there you have card #2.

For my third card I used Sketch #3 with Collection Three.

For this card I die cut the fun coffee print patterned paper from the Stay Awhile patterned paper pack by Bo Bunny. I mat the patterned paper on a piece of Hot Fudge card stock that I adhered to a white card base. I added a strip of the pretty floral patterned paper (sadly, not much of it shows). I then stamped the beautiful girl image from the exclusive Teresa Talks Fall stamp set by Scrapping for Less in Memento tuxedo black ink and colored it in with the following Copic markers ~ Hair - E40, E43, YR30, YR31; Sweater - V91, V95, V99; Pants - B37, B97; Skintone - E0000, E000, E51, RV21 (lips); Cup - E81, YR15, YR68; Outlining of Image - W00, W1.

I trimmed down the focal image and mat it on a piece of Tangy Orange card stock. I popped it up on the card using foam tape and set the card aside. This collection includes a few round kraft tags and I thought it would be fun to use that for the sentiment. I stamped it in VersaMark ink and then heat embossed a fine black embossing powder. I borrowed the twine from Collection Two to tie a double bow that I adhered to the top of the tag. I popped up the tag on the card and then adhered the beautiful Petaloo purple flower using a combination of glue dots and multi medium matte. To finish the card off I added a little a sequin to the center of the flower.

For my fourth card I used Sketch #4 with Collection Four.

The stamp set for Collection Four is my absolute favorite! It's another exclusive Scrapping for Less stamp set called Give a Hoot? It includes a couple owls, a few flowers, a partial tree or branch, and some really adorable Owl pun sentiments. I used this set for a Sneak Peek card earlier in the week (you can check that out here, if you missed it). 

When I saw the soft colors of the Amber Moon papers by Prima that are included in this collection, I just knew I want to make a bit of a scene with the tree and the smallest owl. I used my last card front piece of Hot Fudge card stock to add my layers of patterned paper and Tangy Orange card stock. I then stamped the tree and owl on a scrap piece of Neenah card stock. I wanted the tree to be taller in my card so I masked the bottom portion of the tree and drew longer lines using a Memento tuxedo black dual marker. I colored the tree using the following Copic markers ~ E43, E47, E49, R05, R08, R14, R37, YR15, YR68, Y06, Y17. I then fussy cut it out and colored the flower using the same reds, yellows, and oranges that I used in the leaves of the tree. I fussy cut the flower and adhered a sequin to the center. I then stamped the little owl using the following Copic markers ~ YR0000, YR21, YR24, YR27, YR31, E21, E23, E25. I fussy cut him out and set him aside with the tree and the flower. Using a Fiskars Fingertip Precision knife I cut around the bottom portion of the patterned paper that includes some foliage, a pumpkin, and a bird. Every once in a while I would tuck the tree in there to see how far I needed to cut. Once I had that piece ready, I adhered the tree using a liquid glue and then I adhered the whole piece onto a mat of Whip Cream card stock. I adhered the owl and the flower to the piece and then noticed the little gold leaves in the package of sequins. I added more than a few of those to the tree and a couple on the 'ground'. I then stamped the sentiment and die cut it using a banner die. I die cut another banner just slightly larger and mat the sentiment. I trimmed the sentiment piece down and popped it up on the card. My final touch for this card was a couple of gold leafs on the sentiment banner. I just adore this card! I hope you do, too!

Here's a look at the Double Dip Sundae subscription.

Here's a look at the Banana Split subscription.

I hope you enjoyed the cards I shared today. I had so much fun creating them to share with you all.
