October Flavor of the Month Collection 4

Made some cards from this collection today, just quick and easy cards using the sentiments on one of the sheets of patterned paper that were included.  I used the patterned paper included, matting some of it with the included red card stock.  I cut out some of the sentiments and used that for my focal point in all of the cards.  Super simple, super fast.  I believe it only took about 30 minutes to make all four cards!  I like how these cards turned out, and really like how quick and easy they were to make!

More cards from the October Flavor of the Month Kit

After making the cards from Collection 1, which I wasn't particularly fond of, I made a couple of cards from Collection 2.  This Collection had my favorite paper in it, so I used it in my cards.  I really liked how these cards came out!  I used Sketch 2, more or less, when I made these cards.  I used a piece of the red card stock that was included in the kit for the background, leaving a little of the white card base showing around the edges.  I cut the patterned paper 3 inches by 4.25 inches, and centered it on the red.  I used added some of the gold glitter tape that was included in the Banana Split kit along the bottom of the card front.  I stamped a sentiment from the add on stamp set in the Banana Split kit on a circle cut from a scrap of white card stock, and used a scrap of green from my stash to cut a scallop circle to mat the sentiment.  I attached it with foam tape to the card front.

 

I liked how the card turned out so much, I used the same sketch for my next cards from Collection 3.This time, I turned the card base to make a top fold card, and used two papers from the Collection on the front.  I stamped the otter image and sentiment from the stamp set that was a part of the Collection, and colored with my Copic markers.  I  used some of the included green card stock to make the scalloped circle matting behind it.

I think these turned out pretty nicely, too.  My husband even thought these were cute.  All in all, pretty happy with the cards I made today!

The October Flavor of the Month Kit from Scrapping for Less arrived

This kit had some very nice Christmas themed papers and stamps in it!  When I was laying out the 4 Collections and the extras for the photo, I accidentally switched the stamp sets in the two right hand collections, just in case anyone noticed it wasn't right. 












I made two cards from Collection 1, using some of the included card stock, a couple of the papers, and some of the ephemera that was included.  I also used one of the sketches that were suggested for this month, Sketch 3.  The only thing I used from my stash for the card front was the ribbon going from top to bottom of the card.  These are not my favorite cards, as I was trying something out of my comfort zone, using multiple paper and the ephemera on top.  I think it is a little too busy looking for my taste, but I showed it to a couple of people who really seem to like them.
