    More Hoppy for You!

    Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with you!

    Today I’m sharing this colorful card featuring the Hoppy for You stamp set and the Foliage Frame Die Cut and Distressed Edge Rectangle Die all from Kat Scrappiness.

     

    To create the base and second layer of this card I used Bazzill Basics Paper. I just cut in a half the Foliage Frame Die and pasted directly over the card base leaving the leaves free. Then I a separate piece of Whisper White card stock I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink the Kangaroo images from the stamp set Hoppy for you.

     

    I colored the Kangaroos with Sperctrum Noir Alcohol Markers and fussy cut with the scissors. The sentiment is one message included on the Hoppy for You stamp set that I die cut and customized with the Distressed Edge Rectangle Die from Kat Scrappiness. I used the second size and like it is  more wide I just replaced the card stock according with the size that I need it.

    Thanks so much for stopping by and don’t forget to hop for your Hoppy for you stamp set!

  • Hoppy for You by Martha Lucia

    Hello Crafty Friends! Martha Lucia here to share a couple of projects using the Hoppy for you by Kat Scrappiness. It is a unique Kangaroo stamp set totally beautiful!

     

    This is a card with movement. I just stamped one of the flowers included on the Hoppy for You stamp set with VersaMark ink over Pool Party Card stock and let the ink dry naturally. In a separate piece of whisper white paper I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, the small kangaroo and some flowers included on the same stamp set. After colored the images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, I fussy cut them with my scissors and enhanced the border of each image with a Memento Black Marker.

     

    I fussy cut the small kangaroo in silhouette and let the lover part to stamp the sentiment. Then I cut it like a strip to let have an up and down piece. I sized the piece and determinate where I will insert it and where to stamp the second sentiment.  When all these was made, I pasted the second layer with double sided foam tape over the card base and covered the insert line with some other images.

    To create this type of cards you only need to be sure where you will made the insert cut and how long is your insert image to stop it on the insert line and on the lower part.

    Now is the turn for my second card using the same stamp set, Hoppy for You.

     

     

    This time I only used the flowers and leaves included on the stamp set and arranged all of them using the 4-1/4″ wreath builder stencil from Gina K. I stamped the big flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, the leaves with Memento Bamboo Leaves and the small flowers with Memento Lady Bug. I colored these small flowers and leaves with coordinating colors from Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.

     

    As final touch, I just added on the center of the big flowers, Orange Jewels in different sizes and believe me these jewels definitely pop up the flowers!

    Thanks so much for stopping by and keep in touch because I will posting more inspiration with the new Hoppy for You stamp set!

  • Layered Nested Hearts by Martha Lucia

    Layered Nested Hearts by Martha Lucia

    Hi there! Today I want to share two of my creations with the Layered Nested Hearts by Kat Scrappiness. To be honest, I am fascinated with the products release in May and I can not stop to use them in my creations.

    Layered Nested Hearts by Martha Lucia

    The Layered Nested Hearts is a set of heart die cuts that works with all the stitched scalloped hearts and zig zag hearts available in Kat Scrappiness Store. All the cardstock that I used to create this card is from Bazzill Basics Paper. They come linked but with the new Metal Die Side Snips from Kat Scrappiness is easy and safe cut them and separate.

    Layered Nested Hearts by Martha Lucia

    This card is 4-1/4″x4-1/4″ and I cut the second layer using one of the Zig Zag Squares dies by Kat Scrappiness. I stamped some branches of flowers over the Bazzill Basics Paper cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Alcohol Markers. Then I fussy cut the flowers and with my scissors to separate and create the heart shape around one layered heart.

    As final touch I added some Magenta AB Flower Blossom sequins, that by way come in different colors and I want to have all!

    Layered Nested Hearts by Martha Lucia

    To make my second card, I cut the large layered nested heart  partially from the card base and decorated the front and back of it with a zig zag heart and a small layered nested heart respectively.

    Layered Nested Hearts by Martha Lucia

    Inside of the card is one heart that I stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne using the stamp set Friendship Greetings.

  • Wok On by Martha Lucia

    Wok On by Martha Lucia

    Hi there! Today I’m sharing two projects featuring the Wok On stamp set released a few days ago.

    Wok On by Martha Lucia

    My first card was made with Bazzill Basics Paper, combined some die cuts from Kat Scrappiness. I stamped the images of the stamp set Wok On onto whisper white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Alcohol Markers. I fussy cut the sushi images with my scissors and the sentiment with the Stitched Sentiment Strips.

    Wok On by Martha Lucia

    Using the same color of Bazzill Basics Paper that I used for the card base, I die cut the Mandala Die by Kat Scrappiness and pasted it over the decorated card base using double sided foam tape. Then I arranged the images and pasted them over the mandala.

    Wok On by Martha Lucia

    For my second card, I used more images included on the stamp set Wok On. To make this card I also used cardstocks from Bazzill Basics Paper. I created the background using the Medallion Cover Plate from Kat Scrappiness released a few months ago. I colored this directly with the ink pads to create a wood texture and made it more special.

    Wok On by Martha Lucia

    The Wok on images from the stamp set Wok On and sentiment were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Alcohol Markers. I used one of the dies included on the Stitched Sentiment Strips.

    Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my card. If you want to purchase this stamp set or any other product that I used, you can visit Kat Scrappiness Store, and make sure you use my code Martha10 to save 10% on your order.

    I stamped the avocado images from the You Guac My World stamp set over whisper white cardstock and painted it with Alcohol Markers. After that, I fussy cut it with my scissors.

  • Whoooo… is Having A Birthday & Sunshine Chameleon By Guest Designer Meghan Kennihan

    Whoooo… is Having A Birthday & Sunshine Chameleon By Guest Designer Meghan Kennihan

    Hi Crafty Friends,

    This is my LAST post as a Guest Designer for Kat Scrappiness, but I’m sure I’ll be back soon if they will have me! I really enjoyed my time this month because I ADORE Kathleen and Kat Scrappiness products. They are the best group of ladies and the store amazing with all the unique products they carry! I made two cards for my last day. The first one is a fun birthday card using the new release die sets from this month! They make fun backgrounds so easy to make!

    Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

    Q: Have you ever seen an owl in the wilderness? Not a zoo….

    A: Me? No…. sadly I have not, I have heard them but never seen on except in a zoo

     I started my card with the blue panel using the Stitched Cloud Backdrop die. Then I die cut the Wood Grain Frame and inked it with brown distress oxide to make the wood grain stand out!

    I assembled the scene, adding these darling owls from Gerda Designs that are carried in the Kat Scrappiness Store!And of course the cute little pun sentiment!

    Supplies:

    For my second card, I had a little fun with the Lawn Fawn One In A Chameleon set that is in the store. Who doesn’t love sunshine? And this Chameleon has made himself yellow to shine bright just like the sun!

    Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

    Q: What is the worst sunburn you have ever gotten?

    A: Me? I did a 100 mile bike ride in a tank top and I missed the middle of my back with the lotion… I got 2nd degree burns and I still have a freckle sports bra shaped outline on my back!

     I started this card with the blue panel stamping the little chameleon in darker blue all over. I taped it down to my yellow base then I took a few different ribbons and taped them down as the sunshine rays.

    Next, I die cut the “sun” circle using the Kat Scrappiness Distressed Edge Circle and inked the edges in orange. I also die cut the clouds from the Kat Scrappiness He Has Risen die set and inked the edges in blue.

    I finished my card by using foam tape to pop up the clouds and sun. Then stamping the fun sentiment on the clouds!

  • Zig Zag Borders by Martha Lucia

    Zig Zag Borders by Martha Lucia

    Hi there! Martha Lucia here with you!

    Today I am back with the Zig Zag Border Dies Inspiration. Since yesterday all the products at Kat Scrappiness  store are 15% or 30% OFF and I decided to give you some inspiration with these fabulous borders and some other products that are available now.

    Zig Zag Borders by Martha Lucia

    The main product that I use to create my cards are the Zig Zag Borders. They are very attractive and easy to use. Let me share with you the first card:

    Zig Zag Borders by Martha Lucia

    To make this card, I used the stamp set Friendship Greetings, recently released. I stamped several times the sentiment with different colors of VersaFine Clair and embossed them with clear embossing powder. On the middle of the sentiments, I stamped one of the branches included on the Friendship Greetings stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Ink and colored the flowers with Alcohol Markers. Then I cut the left side with the wave form of the Zig Zag Borders.

    Zig Zag Borders by Martha Lucia

    The base of my card is basic black cardstock and I pasted a piece of designer paper over the left side of the card. Then, I pasted the stamped whisper white layer with double sided foam tape and finalized the decoration adding some tiny stars from the Pastel Girl Star Sprinkles Collection.

    My second card was realized all in whisper white card stock. And I combined the Zig Zag Border with some dies included on the Crafters Essentials Easter Edition.

    Zig Zag Borders by Martha Lucia

    I cut the decorated layer using the angle zig zag border. To make this, I applied classic ink around the piece with a sponge dauber combining tree colors, Pear Pizzaz, Highland Heather and Petal Pink. Then, I stamped the sentiments from Friendship Greetings stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and made some tiny dots with a Fineliner Gray pen from Arteza.

    Zig Zag Borders by Martha Lucia

    I cut in whisper white cardstock the special details from the Crafters Essential Easter Edition and as final touch I sprayed the inked layer and the Easter Die cuts with Sparkle Sheer Shimmer to add the shiny touch.

    Zig Zag Borders by Martha Lucia

    On my last card, I used the curve zig zag border over a piece of whisper white cardstock. Over that piece, I stamped with Versafine Clair Blue Belle and clear embossing powder, two images from the stamp set Mega Greetings from Altenew, available at Kat Scrappiness Store.

    Zig Zag Borders by Martha Lucia

    After paste the stamped layer over the card base with double sided foam tape, I added some tiny stars form the Superhero Star Sprinkles Collection.

    You Are EAR-resistable! & Butterfly Beauty with Guest Designer Meghan Kennihan

    Hi Crafty Friends,

    I am LOVING being a Guest Designer for  Kat Scrappiness this month. I am once again using the awesome Kat Scrappiness He Has Risen die set that was released in March because the clouds are PERFECT! I also used the NEW April Release Cloud Backdrop die! I added some of the fun stamps from Newton’s Nook that Kat Scrappiness carries too! Easter is next week hoping this card inspires you to make someone HOPPY (see what I did there). My second card in this post is using the amazing Butterfly Panel die! Keep scrolling for more beauty!

    Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

    Q: How long did you believe in the Easter Bunny?

    A: Me? I’m pretty sure I figured out the Easter Bunny pretty quick…. like preschool, now Santa on the other hand…. I think that took until 1st or 2nd grade.I started the card by die cutting my backdrop clouds. Then I used the grass die from the He Has Risen die set to make the grass at the bottom. I inked the edges to make the individual “blades” stand out a bit. Next I die cut the clouds and inked them with pink!I finished the scene by adding the darling little bunnies, the butterfly and that sweet pun sentiment!

    For my second card, I am using the gorgeous Kat Scrappiness Butterfly Backdrop die that was released in March. It is so easy to make fast and elegant cards.

    Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

    Q: What is your favorite spring insect?

    A: Me? I love lightening bugs! They just make the neighborhood look so pretty and I loved to catch them as a kid!

    I started my card by cutting a 4 x 5.25″ white paper for the Butterfly Backdrop die. Then I splattered it with Altenew Watercolor Markers and die cut it.

    Next I die cut the butterfly backdrop out of my colored cardstock so I could “fill” in the butterflies in different colors. It’s like a fun, crafty puzzle!

    I finished the card by adding The Sparkling Flower Blossom sequins and using the wink of Stella glitter marker to accent the butterflies’ wings!Thank you so much for checking out my blog.
