  • Mini Slimline cards – Miss You and Thinking of You!

    Hello everyone!

    It’s Donna here and I have two cards to share using the PinkFresh Studios stencil Choose Hop.  I am using a few of Kat Scrappiness products such as the Mini Slimline Fancy Scalloped Dies and , the word friend is from the Scripty “Hello My Crafty Friend” Die and the sentiment is from the Quokka’n Up Stamp Set.  My second card I am using the Mini Slimline Cross Stitched Dies and the sentiment is from the Valentine Quokka Stamp Set.

    Here are my cards I created using the Kat Scrappiness, Inc. products.
    1.  My first card, I used two colors of pink and two colors of green on the PinkFresh Studios stencil Choose Hop.  I used my Misti to line the dies up since I was making a mini slimline card.  This stencil has five pieces, it is very easy to do this.
    2.  I die cut the Mini Slimline Fancy Scalloped die and adhered it to the top folding card base.
    3.  I die cut the friend from the Hello My Crafty Friend Die, this die is very versatile because the words are separated so you don’t have to use all the words.  I placed the friend word onto my card and adhered it with liquid glue.
    4.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Quokka’n Up Stamp Set.
    5.  I finished off my card by adding some Transparent pink Heart droplets.
    My second card I did the same steps as I did above, this card I used the Mini Slimline Cross Stitched Dies and the sentiment is from the Valentine Quokka Stamp Set.
    Thank you for stopping by, please come back tomorrow for more inspiration!

    Easter Blessings

    Hello everyone!

    It’s Donna here sharing a couple of Easter cards I created using the newly release Easter dies.  My first card I used the newly released Layered Tulip Bouquet Die Set and my second card is created using the newly released Happy Easter Bunny clear stamp set.

    Just a reminder, the Spring sale is going on right now until March 14th!

    Spring Sale at Kat Scrappiness!

    My first card, is a mini slimline card which measures 3 x 6, I then die cut the Kat Scrappiness slimline Diamond Wire & Wood Grain die.  I used some design paper behind the slimline die and adhered everything together.  I then used some distress inks to color the tulips, leaves and bow from the Tulip Bouquet Die Set.  I adhered everything together to create the bouquet and added it to my card.  I then die cut the Kat Scrappiness Brush Script Happy Easter word die and colored it with distress inks and adhered it to the card.  To finish off the card I used the Kat Scrappiness Gold Sequin cross at the base of the bouquet.

    Here is another look of the card.

    My next card I created using the Kat Scrappiness Happy Easter Bunny clear stamp set.  I love this stamp set, it measures 3×4, but makes an adorable card.  My card is a top folding slimline card.  I masked off the top layer and added some distress inks.  I die cut this with Kat Scrappiness mini slimline Embossed Edge Die.  I then stamped the the image from the Happy Easter Bunny clear stamp set.  I also stamped the image again, I colored the ears and feet with copics and then fuzzy cut them out and used foam squares and popped them up onto the card.  I finished the card off by adding some Kat Scrappiness Quokka Love Enamel Dots.
