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.

Another card from the August Flavor of the Month Kit

Another of the collections from this kit included a camping theme.  I loved the canoes and paddles papers that were included!  The card practically made itself, it came together so easily!

This one was a fun card to make, and will be an excellent birthday card for any of the guys in my life!  I started off by making my card base from white card stock, and rounding all of the corners. I cut some blue card stock from my stash a bit smaller, and also rounded the corners.

I cut a strip of the beige paddles paper included in the kit, matted it with brown cardstock, and attached it to the lower front of the card.

I cut some blue canoe paper into a small rectangle, rounded the corners and matted it with brown card stock, also.  I attached to card front with foam tape.  I then fussy cut one of the sayings from another of the papers included in the kit, and also adhered it with foam tape.

Second Flavor of the Month kit arrived

This was the August kit, there was some lovely house paper included in one of the collections this time, so I had to make a thinking of you card.


Started by making a card base from the white card stock, and a card front cut 1/2 inch smaller from red card stock. Then, from the Collection 4 papers, I cut a large banner from a yellowish paper that had a lot of family type sayings on it, and adhered it to the center left of the card front.  I cut 3 small banners from the blue card stock, and cut a rectangle from printed paper with houses. I matted the houses in an orange, attached the 3 banners to the back, and added to the front with foam tape.  Stamped thinking about you from a stamp set I already owned.

Loved how this one came out.  Still debating with myself on whether I should add some of the included sequins, or if that would be too much. I'm pretty sure I'm going to add the sequins...

New Card Kit--Flavor of the Month

While cruising the internet, came across Scrapping for Less website.  They had a monthly card kit available, which I had to try out.  They call it the flavor of the month kit.  A unique feature to this card kit is that it comes in different levels.

With the basic level, Single Scoop Sundae, you get 4 collections (4 little baggies).  Each collection includes 6 sheets of 6x6 paper, with a different theme.  Sometimes a small stamp set is included with each, or a larger stamp set that coordinates with all of the collections. The Single Scoop also includes 8 sheets of cardstock, that coordinates with the 4 collections, plus 4 envelopes.

The next level is the Double Dip Sundae, which includes the above, plus embellishments for each collection.  The Deluxe Sundae adds a word die that can be used with the collections.

The final level is the Banana Split  includes all of the above, and adds an ink cube, and something extra, like a stencil, or canvas tags, a sentiment stamp.  This is the level I chose to try out the kit.

My first kit arrived, July Flavor of the Month Collection. Collection 1 included a carousel stamp, and circus papers, which I immediately decided to make a card with.  Using the included white card stock, I made my card base, and then used some of the red card stock cut to 5x3.75 for my card front. I cut a 3.25x4.5 rectangle from some multi-colored diamond paper, which I added to the bottom of the red background.

I then cut a section of a circus background paper and some of the while card stock 2x2.25, and cut 2.5x2.75  of the black polka dot paper and a blue tone on tone paper.  Stamped the white with the carousel stamp, and matted it with the blue.  I also matted the circus paper with the polka dot.  Attached the two rectangles at an angle to the card front.  Stamped Happy Birthday from a stamp from my stash for the inside.  Very happy with the way it came out.
