Scrapping for Less ~ Coffee Lovers Spring I Summer 2019 Blog Hop

Hey there crafty peeps!

Today, I'm featuring products from the January 2019 Perk Up & Start the New Year 

card kit from Scrapping for Less. A fabulous card kit filled with coffee themed products that 

is sadly no longer available.

But for those of you lucky enough to have this kit, I thought I'd share a quick card using some 

of the products. I wanted to try to use up some of the papers in the kit. One of my goals for 

2019... using up some of those smaller pads of paper. Anywho, I layered the checkered papers to 

a white card base also adding a black strip of the black paper from the same paper pad collection called Coffee by Echo Park. I added another scrap of checkered paper to a piece of white card 

stock and adhered that on my card base. 

And to finish off the card I mat the journaling card from the kit to a piece of black card stock and popped it up on the card. Very simple, but I like the offset journaling card... I think it brings interest to the card. I just love that sentiment too! So fun!

Have you checked out the Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop yet? You really should!

Thanks for checking out my blog post for today!

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ Coffee Lovers Spring I Summer 2019 Blog Hop

Hi crafty peeps!

It's time! It's time for the next Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!! I love these hops so much! I just HAD to use the adorable Unicorn Marci to create my first card for the 2019 Spring / Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

 I used two stencils to create the background along with a bunch of Spring colored distress oxide inks ~ Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac, and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks. I watercolored Unicorn Marci with Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Shaded Lilac, Spun Sugar, Tattered Rose, and Walnut Stain Distress Oxide inks. I borrowed the cup from another set... it was actually stamped awhile ago so I'm not sure what set I had used... I watercolored the coffee cup with Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide inks. I fussy cut both images and then popped them up on my stenciled background that I had die cut with a wonky stitch die and adhered to a white card base. 

I then stamped the sentiment... a combination of the sentiment with the Unicorn Marci stamp set and a masked sentiment from the Mini Marci with Coffee stamp set. I love how it turned out! 

Have a blast hopping along!!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

If you are just starting hopping, we're so glad to have you join us!! Here's a quick look at the April 2019 Spring Critters card kit...

Double Dip Subscription...

Banana Split Subscription...

Aren't those just the most adorable stamps and papers!?! I love this kit so much! 

Let's dive right in and check out the cards I created...

Collection One: Spring Bees

I started my first card by adding paper layers to an Applemint card base. On a scrap of white card stock I stamped the beehive and then colored a tree limb and leaves freehand using Copic markers. {If you click on the picture above, I hope you can see some of the detail in the tree limb}

I colored the beehive and die cut the beehive scene with a stitched oval die and then mat it on a larger stitched oval die cut out of Applemint card stock. I colored the bees on a scrap piece of white card stock, fussy cut the bees and then adhered them to the scene, popping one bee up on the card with foam adhesive. To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment and trimmed it down to a banner and adhered it to the card. Oh, and I added a cute little bumblebee sticker from the collection. So cute!

I used the following Copic markers on this card:

Bee ~ Y06, Y17, N2, N4, N7

Beehive ~ Y06, Y17, Y38

Tree Limb/Leaves ~ E55, E57, E59, YG05, YG17

Sky Background ~ B0000, B01

Collection Two: Spring Birds

This collection is my absolute favorite!! I love the bird folk art feel to the stamp set in the collection... love, love, love!!! The papers in this collection are also amazing... I had a hard time cutting into them! LOL! I did end up cutting the floral paper and I mat it on Red Velvet card stock. I adhered that layer to a In the Navy card base that I had adhered this beautiful navy script paper. Such pretty papers! I chose the clip board ephemeral from the collection but I stamped the heart and little flower from the Pink Fresh stamp set using Candied Apple, Wild Honey, and Scattered Straw distress Ink; also coloring in the center of the flower with a Walnut Stain distress marker. On a scrap of white card stock, I stamped the bird and colored it in with the following Copic markers: YR12, YR15, YR21, R14, R27, and YG17. I fussy cut the bird and adhered it to the popped up clip board.

Collection Three: Spring Frogs

Every once in a while I get a crazy idea to attempt No-Line Coloring again... and in this case, I really love how this little frog turned out! Some of the smaller parts were tricky but I was careful to use just the tip of the Copic marker. I colored the entire scene using the following Copic markers:

Frog ~ YG05, YG11, YG17, R000, R20, N2, N4, N10

Lily Pad ~ YG03, YG61

Reeds ~ YG23, YG63, YG91, YG93, YG95

Sky ~ B0000

Grass ~ G03, YG45

Water ~ B000, B00, B01, B02

Assembling the card was very simple... 

I adhered two strips of patterned paper from the collection to a Blue Lagoon card base and also mat my focal image to a piece of the same card stock. To finish off the card, I adhered the three wood butterflies using the Multi Matte Medium in the Banana Split subscription.

Collection Four: Spring Ducks

The patterned papers in the fourth collection are absolutely beautiful... I especially love the ombre dot papers that I used for my card. I loved it so much I paper pieced the little ducks umbrella with the paper too! I colored in my background using Copic markers and then added the cute cloud sticker... now I didn't want the cute ducky to cover up the rain drops so I decided to cut them out and stuck them around the image that I fussy cut and adhered to the main panel. I popped up the main panel on the card and realized I forgot about the sentiment... lol... so I had to get creative because I wanted the sentiment on the main panel. I masked each side of the sentiment in turn and stamped the portions using a Stamp Platform. Voila! 

I used the following Copic markers on this card:

Duck ~ Y000, Y02, Y06, Y13, Y17, YR15, YR16

Hat/Grass ~ YG01, YG06

Sky ~ B00, B000, B0000

Umbrella ~ R11, RV95

I sure hope that you've enjoyed the cards that I've shared with you today.

Scrapping for Less ~ Pink & Main ~ Pretty Jars

Hello crafty peeps!

Today, I'm sharing a lovely card using the Pretty Jars stamp and die bundle set by Pink & Main. Oh my goodness... I absolutely love this bundle!! The stamps are so beautiful and the dies make cutting out this intricate floral stamp super easy peasy!!

I still had the beautiful Echo Park Spring Fling papers on my desk so I decided to use them again for this card. I cut strips of a few different papers to create the pattern underneath the focal image. The background greenish/blue paper is also from the paper pad. 

I stamped the flowers twice because I wanted to fussy cut the flowers to pop them up on the focal image for a bit more dimension. Working with colors that coordinated with the papers, I colored both sets of the flowers. I used the following Copic markers ~ RV00, RV21, Y13, Y35, YG11, YG23.

I then die cut the flowers and fussy cut the one set... cutting it on the black line. I colored the outer edge of the fussy cut flowers with a Memento tuxedo black marker to clean up the edges and then I popped them up on the other flowers.

I then adhered the flowers to a white die cut stitched oval and popped the oval piece up on the card. I knew I wanted to use the 'sweet friend' sentiment from the set but I wanted to add a little somethin' somethin' so I pulled out the 'hello' die from Pink & Main that was included in a past card kit and die cut three times out of white card stock. I colored one of the die cut hellos with Copic markers in an ombre style and then adhered all the die cut layers. I stamped the 'sweet friends' sentiment on white card stock and then die cut it with a banner die and layered it on a strip of pink paper from the Spring Fling paper pad that I also die cut with the same banner die.

In retrospect, I kinda wish I had stamped the 'sweet friend' sentiment in a dark pink... but at the time, I was packing my studio and my supplies were limited. I am still very happy with how this card turned out! The design is definitely one that would work to use up some of those scraps of patterned paper that we all have laying around!!

You can find the Pretty Jars stamp & die bundle in the shop!

Scrapping for Less ~ December 2018 Blog Hop ~ Animals in the Arctic

December’s kit is all about Arctic Animals…Now if you are anything like me, you hate the cold weather, snow, and anything that would mean being cold. However, snow and these cute little critters in this kit are all about fun! So grab your warm beverage, sit back, and hop along with us to see these adorable critters and all the inspiration our designers have to share. Check out the Flavor of the Month page to place your order if you haven’t subscribed. Also, don’t forget to check the A La Carte items (items that are leftover - full packs and such - from putting the kits together, and other items that we have on the website that may coordinate with this kit). Make sure you also put your name in for that Rafflecopter prize!

Hey there! I am loving the theme of this month's kit... Animals in the Arctic! The critters in the stamp sets are all so cute! Let's not waste anymore time and get straight to the cards!

For my first card I used Sketch #2 with Collection One.

I did a mix of layers using the Winter Skies patterned paper by Scrapping for Less along with some Sno Cone card stock. I adhered all of the layers on a white card base. I added a few sequins to the main image and on the card base.

Here's a close up of the watercolored bear. In real life the watercolors coordinate a whole lot better with the colors in the background. You can also see the touches of purple organza ribbon on either side of the bear.

For my second card I used Sketch #4 with Collection Two.

I say I used sketch #4 for this one but it's a loose interpretation... what I mean is, I went rogue! LOL! I kinda sorta used some of the elements of the sketch, but it really had a mind of it's own. ;)  Now you may notice that this card looks kind of similar to my sneak peak card... and that's because I made them at the same time. I just loved this color palette that I pulled from these Alexandra Renke papers included in Collection One so I had to use it for this card too. I trimmed my layers of patterned paper and adhered them to a kraft card stock base. I stamped the adorable penguin with memento tuxedo black ink and colored him in with the following Copic markers:

Penguin ~ C0, C2, C4, C8, R20, YR15, YR27, YR68

Hat/Scarf ~ BG10, BG11, N0, N1, Colorless Blender

Mug ~ B0000, B000, B39, B99, N1

I added some sparkle to the hat and marshmallows using stickles from my stash. I then die cut the image using a wonky square die. I popped it up on the card base and adhered a few die cut snowflakes using the snowflake die from Collection Three. The sentiment was simply stamped, trimmed, and then popped up, as well.

For my third card I used Sketch #1 with Collection Three.

I adhered my layer of grey snowflake patterned paper to a piece of Grape Jelly card stock. I stamped a few snowflakes on the white card base using Wilted Violet and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide inks. I adhered my grey/purple panel to the card base and then stamped the 'Snow Much Fun' sentiment using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink.

I trimmed a small piece of white card stock for my focal scene and stamped the mountains and chunk of ice using Memento Tuxedo black ink. I then stamped the owl and penguin on a scrap piece of white card stock and got to coloring using the following Copic markers:

Mountains ~BV20, BV23, N1

Sky ~ B60

Water/Ice ~ B000, B02, BG0000

Penguin ~ N0, N1, N5, YR15, YR68, V17

Owl ~ C1, YR15, YR68, B02, BG0000

I fussy cut the penguin and owl and adhered them to the scene. I added a few banners cut from the Frosty patterned paper by Pink and Main in the collection. And my last touch was a few sequins here and there.

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

Now for this card, I flipped the sketch because I wanted to use the Winter Tree Stencil from the Banana Split subscription in my focal panel. I blended Worn Lipstick, Tattered Rose, and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide inks over the stencil and then set it aside to dry while I stamped and colored the owl and moose. The owl is part of the stamp set included in Collection Four, but the moose is from the Arctic Sentiments set by Scrapping for Less that is in the Banana Split subscription. I colored the images using the following Copic markers:

Owl ~ BV04, BV20, BV31, YR27, YR68

Moose ~ E00, E01, E02, R01, RV95, W5

I fussy cut the images and adhered them to the focal panel that I had mat on Bubblegum card stock. I adhered a few banners on the back of the focal panel and then popped up the panel on the card base. I adhered some snowflakes and sequins all over the card and then realized I didn't have a sentiment yet... so I stamped out the 'Snow Much Fun' sentiment again, trimmed it, and adhered it to the card.

Such a fun kit to play with!! I had a blast creating these cards. I sure hope you've enjoyed them as much as I have.

Scrapping for Less ~ The Greeting Farm ~ Save the Day

Hello! Today, I'm sharing a Valentine's Day card using The Greeting Farm's Save the Day stamp set. I don't know about you all but I needed a little break from the Christmas card making... don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and I love making Christmas cards, but I needed a little creative break. So when I saw this sweet set I knew I was going to use it to make a Valentine's Day card for my husband. He's my hero!

I had a rough idea for my design but believe it or not... it was supposed to be a no layer card. LOL! Isn't it funny how sometimes the card just evolves into something you didn't quite plan?! Well, that was the case with this one. I started with the Stitched Arch Stax dies from My Favorite Things. I die cut the white and the black layers and then decided I wanted to have red in the mix since it's a Valentine, that only made sense... so I thought a red card base would be good. And then on my desk I saw the new Polka Heart Backdrop die from Lawn Fawn... of course, I had to use it! I used it to die cut a white piece of card stock that I trimmed down and adhered to the red card base.

That turned out to be too much white in the background so to break that up I found some papers from my stash with a Valentine's theme and trimmed them down. I adhered it to a piece of red card stock and then used a stitched scalloped edge die on both sides of the patterned paper. I adhered this panel to the card base and set it aside. 

Using a grassy edge stencil, I blended some Mowed Lawn distress ink for the grass on the bottom of the first layer. I then used a mini cloud edge stencil with Tumbled Glass distress ink to create some clouds in the background. I set that piece aside and stamped the images using Memento tuxedo black ink. I then colored them in using the following Copic markers:

Trees ~ G05, G17, G24

Knight ~ C0, C2, C4, C8, R000, R37, R89, E55, E57, E59

Lady ~ E0000, E000, E00, E55, E57, E59, R000, R14, R20, R27

I fussy cut each of them out along the black lines and then went over the edges of the images using a Memento tuxedo marker (that helps to clean up the edges). I decided the Lady needed a little glittery goodness on her dress so I added some Sprinkled Sugar Stickles to the image. I just love how the ombre coloring of her dress looks with the beautiful glitter on it. I adhered the images to create the scene and then popped up the arch panel on the card. I stamped the sentiment using VersaMark watermark ink on a scrap of red card stock and then heat embossed fine white embossing powder. I trimmed it down and then adhered it to the card using foam tape on the left side and liquid glue on the right since it would lay over the popped up arch.

Here's a close-up look at the glittery goodness on the Lady's dress. Love it!

Well, that's it for me. I hope that you enjoyed my first Valentine's Day card for the coming year! 

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ Sunny Studios ~ Have a Foxy Christmas!

Hello! Today, I'm sharing a few Foxy Christmas cards using the same sketch but changing it up with different papers and little foxes!! Oh my goodness, this Foxy Christmas set by Sunny Studios is so stinking cute! I just adore it! And it pairs up so well with the Sunny Studio Holiday Cheer papers!!

To start I chose my papers, pairing the patterned papers that I wanted for each card. I then trimmed each piece down and mat them on a pink card stock and then a green card stock. The strip of patterned paper in the center of the card is only mat on the pink card stock. I adhered all of my layers and then set them aside.

I decided to focus on just the images with a single fox. I chose the three foxes that looked festive with their cute reindeer headband, beanie, and Santa hat and then colored the images to coordinate with the patterned papers.

I stamped each of the foxes onto a piece of white card stock measuring 2 x 2-1/2" using Brutus Monroe Raven Detail Ink. I colored the images with the following Copic markers:

Foxes ~ E09, E18, YR16, YR21, YR27, W00, W1, W3, W8, W10, R20

Headband/Hats ~ YG11, YG13, YG17, E55, E57, N0, N1, R000, R14, R27, RV04, RV17, RV19

Chilly Sky Background ~ B0000, B00, B02

Copic markers are available in the shop for pre-order. 

Here's a link to check it out... Copic Marker Pre-order.

Once I had all these cuties colored, I added some Snowy Marker across the bottom of the card stock and heat set it to make it puffy and that completed my simple scene with a bit of snow.

I then mat each of the foxy focal images onto pink card stock measuring 2-1/8 x 2-5/8" and then mat those onto green card stock measuring 2-1/4 x 2-3/4". I popped these pieces up on the three card fronts and then set them aside.

I stamped the sentiment and holly onto three scraps of white card stock and trimmed them down and fussy cut a flag on one end. I colored the holly using the following Copic markers ~ R000, R14, R27, YG13, YG17. I adhered the sentiment flags to each card front. I then adhered each of the card fronts to a white card base completing the three cards. I just adore how these turned out! This sweet Foxy Christmas set is available in the shop ---> here!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less November 2018 Blog Hop ~ Elegant & Sophisticated

 Sophisticated and Elegant? Well just what does that mean? 
To me it means I can dress up, be a girly girl, get all glammed up and go out on the town with my “Dapper Man”…of course, since I am a laid back at home kind of gal that doesn’t happen very often. So, take advantage of this elegance in this kit and make some very unique and different cards for those sophisticated, elegant friends that you have in your life! Join the Design Team and some wonderful guest designers as they share great inspiration for you. So join in and hop along with us! I know this unique kit won’t last long so head on over and grab a Flavor of the Month kit for yourself. Don’t forget the Rafflecopter over at the Scrapping for Less blog. Thanks for joining us today.

Hello crafty friends! I'm going to be honest, I was a little nervous when I saw that the kit this month is Sophisticated and Elegant... I'm a very casual jeans and a hoodie kind of gal. I think that laid back style is reflected in my card making... but once I saw the beautiful stamps and papers in the kit... wow! Was I excited to play!!

For my first card I used Sketch #4 with Collection One.

Isn't that stamp stunning! I just had to emboss her... she's gorgeous in silver embossing! The papers in this collection are also gorgeous! I layered the papers onto a Grout Grey card base. I then stamped the image from the What If I Fly stamp set by Scrapping for Less onto a scrap of Grout Grey card stock with VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed a fine silver embossing powder. I trimmed the piece and mat it on the black glitter paper. My finishing touch for this card was the beautiful teal butterflies. I love them! I decided not to add a sentiment to the front of this card. I didn't want to take away from the beauty of the card.

Here's a close up of the beautifully stamped and embossed image! Such a stunning stamp!

For my second card I used Sketch #3 with Collection Two.

I trimmed down the beautiful wood paper from the Rustic Elegance papers by Scrapping for Less in collection two to measure 5-1/4 x 4" and mat it with the light pink paper from the same paper collection. I then adhered those layers to a Safety Orange card base. I trimmed another piece of the light pink patterned papers to measure 2-7/8 x 2-7/8" and mat it on a piece of Safety Orange card stock measuring 3 x 3". I adhered the square piece to the card and set it aside. I stamped the image from the Scrapping for Less stamp set called Bloom onto white card stock and then colored it with the following Copic markers: YR21, YR23, YR24, YR27, YR31, RV91, RV95, YG03, YG93, YG97, W00. I then die cut the image with a stitched oval die. I cut a 4-1/8 x 1" piece of Safety Orange card stock and adhered it over the layers on the card and then popped up the oval. I stamped the sentiment on white card stock then trimmed it into a flag and popped it up on the card. 

Here's a close up of the flowers! I love them! I used the White Pen by Reminisce {included in the Banana Split subscription} to add some highlights to the center of the flower.

For my third card I used Sketch #2 with Collection Three.

How adorable is this sweet little Sugar and Spice stamp by Santoro?! I just adore her! I just had to use the dress papers from the Fashionista papers by Echo Park included in Collection Three. I trimmed the dress paper to 5-1/4 x 4" and adhered it to a Black Licorice card front that I then adhered to a white card base. I then cut a 6 x 1/2" piece of the polka dot paper... I trimmed those into four pieces knowing that the main image would cover the space between the cut pieces. One little trick to saving some paper scraps! I set the strips aside and then stamped the Sugar and Spice girl on a piece of white card stock. I then colored her in using the following Copic markers: E23, E25, E29, E79, E000, E00, E51, R20, N0, N2, N3, N5, N7, BG11, BG32. I die cut the main image using a stitched tag die and then trimmed a Black Licorice mat for the tag. I then adhered the strip of polka dot paper to the card and then popped up the main image. I stamped the sentiment from the Puttin' on the Spritz stamp set by Scrapping for Less, that is included in the Banana Split subscription, using VersaMark watermark ink and then heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I trimmed the sentiment down to a banner and then popped it up on the card overlapping it just slightly over the tag. I trimmed off the fringe of some of the pink bling pieces from the Pink Bling roll included in the collection and adhered them randomly all over the card. For a final touch, I used the White Pen by Reminisce to touch up the white dots on the dress.

For my last card I used Sketch #1 with Collection Four.

I just adore this collection! There are so many cool masculine stamps in the Dapper Man stamp set by Scrapping for Less. I had to ink up the hat though! Love it! So to start this card I cut all the layers of the Dapper Man patterned papers and adhered them to a Black Licorice card front that was then adhered to a white card base. I stamped the hat and the So Dapper! sentiment onto a piece of white card stock and then colored the hat with the following Copic markers: N2, N5, N7, N8, B91, B93, B95, B97. I then die cut the image and sentiment with a circle die. I popped it up on the card with foam tape and then adhered a bunch of the sequins from the collection. I just love this card!

Here's a look at the Double Dip Subscription.

Here's a look at the Banana Split Subscription.

Scrapping for Less ~ Stamping Bella ~ All is Calm

Hello! Today I'm sharing a sweet card using an adorable stamp set from Stamping Bella called The Penguin on a Reindeer on a Polar Bear.

I paired the Stamping Bella set with the bright and beautiful Holiday Cheer papers from Sunny Studio. Oh my goodness... these papers have such beautiful colors! They totally inspired my color palette for this card. I stamped the image and the sentiment on a 5-1/4 x 4" piece of white card stock.

 I then colored using my Copic markers:

Penguin ~ YR15, YR68, N0, N1, N3, N5, Colorless Blender, R14, R27

Deer ~ E23, E25, E31, E34, E51, E53, W4

Polar Bear ~ W00, W1, W3, W5, R00, R21, Colorless Blender

Tree ~ R14, R27, R37, RV21, RV34, B000, B02, Y06, Y17, G24, G29, G46

I trimmed down my panel to 3-5/8 x 5-1/4" and adhered a piece of the striped patterned paper from the Holiday Cheer papers to the back of the panel, now making the panel measure 4 x 5-1/4". I die cut two banners from the papers, trimmed them to my desired length, and then adhered them to the panel. I popped up the panel on a white card base.

My final touch for this card was some Sprinkled Sugar Stickles on the fluffy hats of the penguin and polar bear. It really gives a glittery shine to the little guys hats! Adorable! This wonderful design was inspired by the fun sketch that Katie posted in the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share facebook group. If you're not already a member of the group, you can join here...
