    Rainbow Hugs

    Hello everyone!

    It’s Donna Idlet here sharing a card featuring the Confetti Party Rainbow Dies, Rainbow Hugs Word w/Shadow die and the Spectrum Of Love Slimline Paper Pack.  This would be the perfect card to send your Valentine.

    Here is my card for your inspiration:
    My card is an A2 card and I used the Confetti Party Rainbow Dies to cut out the frame of the card.  I then used the Spectrum Of Love Slimline Paper Pack to cut out the arches in rainbow order.  I also cut out the arches in white to layer the arches so they would give the rainbow some depth.  I then die cut the Rainbow Hugs Word w/Shadow die with black card stock and cut the shadow with vellum.  I added some hearts from the Bright Rainbow Hearts Sprinkles and added them to the card.  I also added some hearts to the clouds from the Brilliant Pink Hearts.

    Creative Crew’s 2022 Holiday Gift Guide

    Hello Crafty Friends!

    It’s Donna Idlet here, I hope you have enjoyed all month the Kat Scrappiness Creative Crew showing you their personal TOP FIVE FAVORITE Kat Scrappiness products, that we think you need in your craft room.  If you missed them, please check out the blog for more inspiration.

    I’m choosing these top five items, because I either love using them or use on most cards I create ….so without further ado, here it goes.

    Number 1:  Embossed Rectangle Die.  I love how this die, it leaves a beveled edge on the layer.

     

     

    Number 2:  Is the Rainbow bridge Sentiments and Rainbow Bridge Coordinating Die Set.  This set is perfect to send someone that has lost a furry family member.

    Here is a sample card I used all of these sets above.  You can find all the details of this card here.

     

    Number 3:  The Stitched Nesting Dome Dies is a favorite!  These dies are great for layering or using the largest die for a card base.

    Here is a sample of a card I used the Stitched Nesting Dome Dies as a card base.  You can find the details of this card here.

    Number 4:  Large Merry Christmas with Shadow.  I love all of Kat Scrappiness words with shadows, the large ones are so nice because you can create a card just with the word dies.

    Here is a sample of a card I created using the Large Merry Christmas Die with Shadow.  You can find the details of this card here.

    Number 5:  My last item that is a must to have in your crafty room is the Christmas Gnome Stamp Set with Coordinating Dies.  Those of you who may follow me, know I love to create cards with gnomes and coffee.  Well, this set has it all!  You can find all the details of this card here.

     

    BONUS!  Another favorite of mine is Kat Scrappiness Teflon Bone Folder & Rainbow Ombre Reverse Connecting Lock Craft Tweezer.  I use these items in almost every card I create.
