I just can't wait for the first snow to fall! Where I live it's not uncommon to have a dusting or two before Halloween!
This card is the result of a happy accident - but I love the look! I sprayed the back of the Echo Park Magical Snowfall Stencil a little too heavily with Pixie Spray and I didn't wait long enough for the spray to dry before adding it to my cardstock. I pressed Versamark ink over the stencil and when I removed it and added my Lilac Pearl embossing powder the powder actually stuck to the background. I LOVE it! I think it looks like the soft flurries of snow that picks up and blows around in the wind!
The little snowman is from the Avery Elle Christmas Magic stamp set. I wanted him to match my heat embossed background, so I used some BV Copic Markers to color his hat and scarf. The sentiment is from the Sunny Studio Stamps Bundled Up stamp set. I thought it fit this card perfectly!
I added all of my die cut elements onto my card and finished it off with some string tied in a bow. Head over to the Scrapping for Less store to find these products and more for your Holiday cards!
Christmas is in full swing at Scrapping for Less! And it truly will be here before you know it!
I'm a lover of classic Christmas colors! - red, green, gold! Gorgeous! I ink blended some Candied Apple Distress Ink onto a piece of cardstock keeping the ink darker towards the center and lighter towards the outside. I used a slightly darker color of ink - Fired Brick - and stenciled the Echo Park Magical Snowfall Stencil over the ink blending and die cut the panel with a stitched circle die. I thought the background needed something more, so I flicked on some metallic gold watercolor.
I super love the Bundled Up stamp set from Sunny Studio Stamps because you can build your own penguin! I stamped the penguin and a bunch of accessories and colored them with classic Christmas colored Copic markers and trimmed them out with my scissors and added them to my die cut circle and stamped a sentiment under the penguin. I wanted to add a little more gold to my card, so I die cut a foiled piece of cardstock with a slightly larger die cut circle and added it to a circle card base. Check out the video above to see how I made that!
This card has so much shine! And I love the subtle snowflakes in the background! Thanks for stopping by!
Hello! It's time for my monthly Scrapping for LessFlavor of the Month five cards one kit video! Because of product issues this video is a bit late this month, so I tried to make up for it by creating some extra cards with the kit this month! Instead of my usual five cards I'm sharing EIGHT!
Fall is one of my favorite seasons - it comes in close behind winter - and the products in this kit were so inspiring that I couldn't help but to create more and give you extra inspiration!
The papers in the first collection are ADORABLE! The pumpkin patch patterned paper is my FAVORITE! I created an easy framed scene with the cute kid cardstock pieces and a simple shaker card with the stamp set!
Sweater weather is the name of the game for the second collection! I used some of the stickers and patterned papers to create a simple banner card and I used repeat stamping to create an almost one layer stamped card.
Okay. Let's be honest. THESE CARDS ARE MY FAVORITE!!! They scream fall and cool and comfy sweater weather! I die cut some of the patterned paper and pieced them onto ink blended backgrounds! So easy but really packs a punch!
The little moose in the fourth collection is the most adorable thing in the world! I sure wish we had moose where I live! I paired him with a die cut sentiment included in the Banana Split level kit!
To finish off the kit I used the stamp set in the Banana Split kit to create another almost one layer card! Watch the video at the beginning of this post to see how easy it was to create those clouds! And let me know in the comments which card is your favorite! See you soon!
Don't you just love the colors of Autumn?! I do! And I love coloring floral images with yellow and orange to make a fall bouquet!
I stamped out one of the bouquets from the Pinkfresh Studio Fancy Blooms stamp set and used Copic markers to color in the image. I used R08, YR09, and YR07 for the orange flower. The yellow flower I used YR04, Y17, and Y15. The leaves are BG78 and BG75 and the brown sprigs are E79 and E74.
I cut out a few of my favorite patterns from the Lawn Fawn Fall Knit Picky paper pad with stitched dies and adhered them to a card front. I trimmed out my colored bouquet and added it to the stitched oval with foam squares. I stamped the sentiment from the Sunny Studio Stamps Beautiful Autumn stamp set onto a strip of patterned paper with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink and added it on top of my bouquet.
I added a bit of shimmer to my bouquet with Liquid Pixie Dust to finish the card! Thanks for stopping by today!

I used each sketch pictured above and made a card from each collection in the kit as well as a card with the bonus pack of goodies! Scroll to the bottom of this post to watch my process video!
There were some kraft tags in collection 1 and I wanted to use them since I rarely make anything other than a card. I trimmed some patterned paper and some kraft cardstock from my stash and added them to the bottom of my tag. I love the little Loch Ness Monster stamp from Kindred Stamps! I colored her in shades of turquoise and added a heat embossed sentiment and some Simply White Nuvo Drops.
Did I say how much I LOVE the patterned papers this month?! I do! I love them! Love love love them! The ones in the first collection and this one (the second collection) are my favorites! The Pretty Little Rainbow Papers have a watercolor feel - and if you know me then you know I love watercolor and rainbows! I used layered up some of the papers for my background and stamped and colored the Pegasus stamp to be my focal image.
Collection three has the cutest fairy stamps from Avery Elle! I stamped and colored her skirt, wings, and the little lightning bugs with some Nuvo Jewel Drops. Check out my video to see how! Then I layered up some stitched die cuts and added some twine and sequins.
The meadow background paper is one of the best things I've seen from this kit! It's perfect! A ready made background! I didn't need to do anything fancy to make this card fabulous! I just stamped a sentiment and colored the little gnomes!
I just LOVE the extra stamp set in the Banana Split level kit! The book image and sentiments are so cute! I used some papers from the second collection to create the background for my card and for the book. I stamped the book onto the paper and trimmed it out and added the little monster from the Kindred Stamps set and a simple sentiment!
Check out my unboxing video below to see everything you'll get in this kit!
Hi, everyone! I have a set of six quick and simple Christmas tags using products from Sunny Studio to dress up your holiday gift packaging! And you can find all of the products I used today at the Scrapping for Less store! I have a process video for this project, so be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the post to watch!
I used the Sunny Studio Snow Kissed stamp set for these tags. These penguins are the CUTEST! There are three penguins in the set, so I stamped each one twice so that I could make six tags. I used my Staedtler felt tipped markers to color these images. I knew I was going to use some papers from the Sunny Studio Holiday Cheer paper pad, so I chose colors for my images that would coordinate with the papers. Watch the video below to get a peek into my coloring process. When I color multiple images that are similar (like 6 penguins) I color all of the similar areas all at once. For example, all of the black of the penguin bodies, then all the orange in their mouths, then the whites of their faces and bellies, etc. Once the coloring was done I fussy cut them out with my scissors.
I die cut the three pieces of Holiday Cheer papers with a tag die twice so that I would have six tags total. I couldn't find the exact tag die that I used, but click here to purchase a similar die. You could really use any shape for this project - circles, fancy tags, etc. You could even just trim the papers into rectangles! I knew I wanted to add a sentiment and some snowflakes to the tags, but I didn't think it would show up well if I stamped directly onto the patterned paper. No problem! I quickly die cut six more tags from vellum!
I stamped three of my tags with one sentiment and the other three with another from the Snow Kissed stamp set with Versamark ink. My plan was to mix and match the papers and the sentiments so that I had one tag of each design of paper for each sentiment. I hope that makes sense! Haha! You can see it better in the photos and video! I used my MISTI for my stamping, so all six tags were stamped and embossed super quickly!
I used foam squares behind my cute penguin images and adhered them onto the vellum tags above the embossed sentiments. I love how the snowflakes peek out from behind the penguins! To finish off the tags I threaded some tulle through the notch at the top and tied a bow around it with some baker's twine!
