Birthday Essential Dies – I Love You

Happy Monday. Did everyone take a look at the new Birthday Essentials release from this weekend? There are so many great new products in the shop.

My card today features several dies from the Birthday Essentials die set – the cake, dripping icing, and bow. I die cut my shapes from various colors of card stock and adhered them together. I die cut a panel of white card stock and a piece of the turquoise Spectrum of Love pattern paper with one of the Stitched Fancy Scalloped rectangle dies. I adhered the turquoise pattern paper to the lower half of the panel and added a strip of pink patterned paper. I very lightly ink blended on the center of the panel with light pink ink to get a glowing effect behind the cake. I heat embossed my sentiment from the Everyday Brushstrokes stamp set to the top of the panel. I added the cake with dimensional adhesive to the panel and adhered the panel to a light gray card base with dimensional adhesive. I added fuchsia berry rhinestones on the cake to finish off the card.

I love that this die set can be used for much more than birthdays. Thanks for stopping by.

Sealed With a Kiss

Happy Friday crafters, it’s Caren here on the blog today. I’ve got a sparkly card for you today!

I die cut the Smooches cover plate with black card stock and did not punch out the lip pieces. I sprayed this with Sparkle Sheer Shimmer spray that the picture doesn’t pick up. I then die cut the lips that come with the Smooches cover plate from red card stock. I added sparkle to the lips using a Spectrum Noir sparkle pen and added glossy accents to make them shine. I die cut SWAK (Sealed with a Kiss) from silver sparkle paper using the condensed lowercase alphabet dies.

I wish the camera could capture all the sparkle on this card. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

Rainbow Hugs

Happy Friday everyone, it’s Caren here on the blog today. Did you enjoy the Valentine release here at Kat Scrappiness? I loved so many of the products that were released. Today I’m sharing a card that uses some of the new products released.

Here is how I created this card:

I die cut hearts from the Spectrum of Love paper pad using one of the heart dies from the Heart Donut Builder die set.
I die cut the Rainbow Hugs with shadow die from the light gray piece of card stock from the Spectrum of Love paper and a piece of vellum.
I cut a panel from the Starlights Jewels paper pad and adhered it to the card base.
I added the hearts (in rainbow order!) to the card using dimensional adhesive.
I adhered the sentiment
Lastly, I added coordinating colored jewels to each of the hearts

I love how this card came together. Thanks for stopping by.

Quick Last Minute Christmas Cards

Can you believe Christmas is only a few days away?! I think I have everything ready, but I needed a couple more Christmas cards. I have a couple of those for you today using Kat Scrappiness dies, stamps, and embellishments.

My first card uses the Merry Christmas with shadow die cut from purple glitter paper and teal paper to match the snowflake paper from the Sugar Plum Fairies slimline paper. I popped up the sentiment on the card using dimensional adhesive. I added a plum pearl to dot the “i” in Christmas and added the 4mm sparkling clear sequins in the center of the snowflakes.

My second uses the Christmas Wishes with shadow die cut from kraft and red card stock. I paired the sentiment with a piece of the Ugly Sweater slimline paper. I used both sides of one sheet of paper from this paper pad. I die cut an Elegant Border die from red card stock and adhered it to the seam of of the two pieces of patterned paper. To finish off the card, I added a couple of Spring Leave pearls to dot the “i”s in the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by! Check out the current sale going on now in the shop for slimline products.

Word with Shadows and Cover Plate Dies

Happy Sunday everyone. I took a break from making holiday cards to create a couple of cards using Word with Shadow dies and Cover Plate dies from the Kat Scrappiness shop. I used a similar combination of yellow, orange, and red distress oxide inks for these cards.

For my first card, I die cut from white card stock the Petal Burst Backdrop die and used blending brushes with distress oxide inks. I die cut the Thanks with shadow die from gold glitter paper and vellum. I adhered these to each and and to the card. I die cut a strip of white card stock using the Boxed Sentiment strip dies, stamped my sentiment, and adhered it to the card with foam adhesive. To finish this card, I added champagne jewels.

My second card is a mini slimline card. I die cut from white card stock the Star Fusion Cover Plate die and ink blended with distress oxide inks. I die cut the Simply Amazing with shadow die from gold glitter paper and vellum. I die cut one of the Reversed Scallop Mini slimline dies from white cardstock. I added dimensional adhesive to the back of the reversed scalloped rectangle and attached my ink blended panel with the star fusion die. I adhered my sentiment in the center of this panel. I die cut a strip of the gold glitter paper using the Boxed Sentiment strip dies, cut it in half and attached each half to the sides of my card base. I adhered the panel with the sentiment to the card base.

I love the soft colors of these cards. What is your favorite word die and cover plate from the Kat Scrappiness shop?

Happy Holidays

Hi crafters! Can you believe we are a little more than two months away from Christmas? I’ve been working on my Christmas and Holiday cards and have a fun shaker card for you today.

I started by cutting a couple of panels using the Ugly Sweater slimline paper.
I added a few snowflakes die cut from white glitter paper using the snowflake die in the Build a Stocking (Christmas) die set
I used cellophane from packaging from my stamps and die sets and adhered it to three sides of my green panel
I added my sequins and sprinkles – Merry & Bright, Peppermint Swirl, White Snowflakes, and Peppermint Twist
I adhered the four side to finish the shaker portion of the card
I die cut the Happy Holiday with shadow die from red paper and green glitter paper
I adhered the sentiment onto the shadow and then onto my shaker panel
I adhered my red chevron panel (from the Ugly Sweater paper pad) to the card base and then adhered my shaker panel

I love these edge to edge shaker panels!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween

Happy Thursday everyone! Today I have a fun and simple Halloween card for you using Kat Scrappiness dies.

I die cut several of the ghosts from the Boo-gy Ghost die set out of white paper. I also die cut the Happy Halloween with Shadow die (minus the shadow) three times. I layered the Happy Halloween to give dimension to my sentiment. I arranged the ghosts on a black card base and adhered them with liquid adhesive. I then added googly eyes to each of the ghosts. I adhered the Happy Halloween sentiment and several sequins from the Boo-Tacular sequin mix.

Thanks for stopping by!
