  • Sandy Shaker

    Sandy Shaker

    Happy Tuesday Crafters! Crystal here and today I am sharing a shaker card with you that I made using several Kat Scrappiness products and sand for my shaker.

    For this creation I used the following Kat Scrappiness products:

    Under the Sea Coverplate

    Summer Fun Essentials

    Friendship Greetings Sentiment

    A2 Reverse Scallop Frame

    A2 Acetate Sheets

    Foam Tape

    To make this card I started with an A2 Size Teal Cardstock. I sprayed adhesive on the cardstock, added sand, shook off the remaining sand. I then cut out the Under the Sea Coverplate and adhered it to the teal covered in sand cardstock. I then prepared my shaker, using Foam Tape, A2 Acetate Sheet and the A2 Scallop Reverse Frame.  Once that was done, I adhered everything to my card base. For the sentiment I used the My Dear Friend from the Friendship Greetings stamp set. I then used the flip flops from the Summer Fun Essentials. I also added gems to the flip-flops to make them appear polka dotted. This card was a lot of fun to make, it makes me wish I was on a sandy beach somewhere.

    I hope you enjoyed my creation today, and you have a wonderful day!!

     

  • Rainbow Hello!

    Rainbow Hello!

    Happy Thursday Crafters! Today I would like to share a card I made with the NEW Fluttering By Stamp Set and Matching Dies.

     

     

    For this creation I inked the background in rainbow colors. I also used the same colors to stamp each butterfly. I used the butterfly die to cut out all of the butterflies. I added pearls to the center of each butterfly and adhered them to my rainbow colored background. For this card I also used the Slimline Tri Frame Die also available at Kat Scrappiness. To finish the card off I needed to add a sentiment. I used the Hello with Shadow Die that you receive when you purchase  the Reverse Scallop Mini Slimline Dies.

  • Happy Summer

    Happy Summer

    Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Today I wanted to share a card I made with the NEW Sailboat Shaker Card Kit. It is so perfect for those summer creations.

     

     

    Don’t you just love shaker cards? These are so much fun. To create this card I first painted the shaker with acrylic paint and added some pearl ex to the white part of the boat, I wanted to give it some extra texture. I let it dry, then I filled the shaker with Red Jewels, Dark Blue Jewels, and White Jewels these are all available at the store.

    I wanted to make a scene for my sailboat. I used the Stitched Waves Slimline Die and added waves to my slimline size card after I stenciled the clouds. I used the Happy Summer with Shadow Die to give this card a sentiment. After I created my card I adhered the shaker on my card. I hope you like the finished product.

For the shaker part of the card, I used the Mini Slimline Tri-Frame Dies. This die is perfect for your shaker cards. There is plenty of room on your frame for your foam tape. For those that make shaker cards knows how important that is. I also used the Mini Slimline Acetate Sheets. Yes Kat Scrappiness sells a lot of different sizes of acetate, I love how they are already cut to fit your card. Last but not least I used Black Obsidian Jewel Mix for the shaker.
