Happy Father’s Day Mini Slimline Shaker Card

June 6, 2021

Leave a comment

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. With Father’s Day around the corner I wanted to use the new Happy Father’s Day sentiment die along with the Lumber Yard Paper to create a fun shaker card. Below you will find the steps to create your own Happy Father’s Day Mini Slimline Shaker card.

Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 7” x 6”, trim at 3 1/2” and fold in half for a horizontal top fold card. (Mini Slimline)

Step 2 – Trim Lumber Yard to 3 1/2” x 6”, diecut Mini Slimline Double Stitched using the Lumber Yard Paper to create a frame. Adhere to center diecut to the card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue. Trim KS Acetate Slimline 3” x 5 1/2” and adhere to the backside of the frame. Add Sprinkles of your choice to the top of the card front making sure it is in the center. I used Mixed Fruit Sprinkles since my Dad isn’t a fan of Sports but he loves fruit. Add Foam Tape to the backside of the frame and adhere to the card front.

Tip 1: align the card into your scoring tool and when placing the top frame with acetate you can align it from the corner.

Tip 2: before adding the sprinkles apply anti static powder to the card front where you placed your background and to the edges of the Foam Tape. This will prevent static from the acetate.

Step 3 – Diecut Happy Father’s Day (word) using White Cardstock. Adhere to the card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

I love that the shaker can be customized to whatever my Dad enjoys in life and that Kat Scrappiness has so many sprinkles that I am guaranteed to find something to fill my shaker card. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Happy Father’s Day

Hello all! I’m up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today with a mini slimline card featuring lots of new goodies from the new release! Since Father’s Day is coming up soon I decided to make a card using some of the fun beachy elements from the new Summer Fun Essentials Dies. I’m in love with those cute flip flops and for this card I cut them out of burlap to give them a more rugged masculine look. I also used distressed a couple of starfish to match the theme!

Summer Essentials Dies

I also used the brand new Lumber Yard Slimline Paper Pad for the first layer on my card base and then I cut another layer out of cream colored card stock using the largest die from the

MINI Slimline Zig Zag Dies.

And now for the star of the show, the Happy Father’s Day Word Dies With Shadow! I just love how the addition of the shadow layer behind the words really makes the sentiment stand out! I used the Lumber Yard Slimline Paper Pad for the shadow layer behind the card. To add some extra interest to the card I added some Espresso Pearl Mix because why not?!

Here’s one more look at today’s card with all of the supplies used.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Make sure to check out the entire new release over at Kat Scrappiness! You will find lots more shadow dies and pearl mixes and a ton of crafty inspiration! I’ve included lots of affiliate links in my post for you to click on. There is no extra cost to you but I do earn a small commission to support this hobby that I love!

Have a great day, I already am!

Happy Father’s Day!

Hello Everyone! Sheri here with a Father’s Day Mini Slimline card. Can you believe that it’s June and Father’s Day is this only a few weeks away?!? Well I have a masculine card that can be easily adapted to any occasion…Birthday, Congratulations, Retirement, etc.

To get started I pulled out the Newton’s Nook Argyle stencil set, Peacock Distress Oxide & Delicata Golden Glitz inks and Kat Scrappiness Never Ending mini slimline die set.

Steps to Create Card:

Cut White Slimline Card Base: 6″ x 3 1/2″ (6″ x 7″, scored at 3 1/2″)
Cut Navy Panel: 6″ x 3 1/2″
Cut Gold Mat: 5 3/4″ x 3 1/4″
Cut Navy Panel: 5 5/8″ x 3 1/8″ (used largest die in Never Ending Mini Slimline die set)
Die cut Happy Father’s Day from the Happy Father’s Day with Shadow die three times in Gold card stock. You will stack & glue them together to create dimensional word.
Take Navy panel along and the Newton’s Nook Argyle Stencil with Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers and Delicata Golden Glitz Ink with Mini ink blending tools (recommend over brushes for this application). You will take stencil #1 add place over panel and apply Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers ink in a pouncing motion (NOT your normal circle motion to keep ink from moving outside of stencil). Next take stencil #2 and apply the Delicata Golden Glitz ink again in a pouncing motion and NOT a circular motion. The inks may need dry time between application and heat setting is highly recommended.
Assemble Card.
For embellishment I added Gold pearls in each corner from the NEW Gold Pearl Mix.

Here’s a list of the supplies I used from the store.

Happy Stamping!!

Hi Everyone! Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs. Today I am sharing an anniversary card with a vintage flair. This is a perfect card to give to your partner to celebrate MANY years together of wedded “bliss.”

But before we begin the details of the card, DON’T FORGET! TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MEMORIAL DAY SALE IN KAT’S SHOP.

CLICK HERE.

CARD DETAILS

I created a slightly larger card today (5″ X 5.5″), using white card base that I layered with some vintage wallpaper on top and the new Kat Scrappiness Lumber Yard slimline paper on the bottom. I framed an old wedding photo from my stash and heat set it with platinum embossing powder on top of the frame to match the new Kat Scrappiness Happy Anniversary die on the bottom.

I added a the pre-cut sentiment, “You and Me Together,” that I had in my stash. For a final touch of “old,” I sponged Distress Oxide Ink in “Vintage Photo” around all 4 sides of the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Don’t forget to check out what’s NEW in Kat’s Shop, and follow my blog and Instagram for more “Kat Scrappiness Amazingness”!

Stay Safe . . .

Happy Summer Waterside Scene Card

May 30, 2021

Tina Dornbaum

5 Comments

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. The new release is here and have you seen the A2 Waterside die? With one die you can create a stunning waterside scene. Below you will find the steps to create your own card.

Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”, score at 4 1/4” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2)

Step 2 – Optional – Apply Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean to a Gel Plate and place White Cardstock trimmed to 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”. Gently rub on the backside of the cardstock. Remove and you have a base to use for your water and sky.

Step 3 – Diecut A2 Waterside in various colors of cardstock (including the background created from Step 2). (Tip place the cardstock in the section you want to avoid wasting cardstock. Adhere the frame to the card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue and then start to build the scene. You can add some shading to the sky using the bottom section of the die as a stencil and add some ink to the edges. I created my island in the middle but you can change it to the bottom. This die is very versatile and can also be converted to create a Mini Slimline Card.

Step 4 – Diecut Happy Summer die (word only) using Black Cardstock 3 times for added dimension. Glue each diecut stacking them then adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

Step 5 – For added interest randomly adhere Carolina Blue Pearl Mix using a Pick Up Tool and Bearly Art Precision Glue.

You can change up the Waterside by changing the island to the bottom or changing the color of the sky to a sunset. The possibilities are endless. There is a 15% Memorial Day Sale Site Wide (excluding new release). Use MEMDAY2021 at checkout. Sale end May 31st. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

It’s Donna here showcasing some of the newly released products which are the Happy Father’s Day with Shadow Die. This die is a nice size die that would be great for the focal point on your card, I’m also using the newly released Lumber Yard slimline paper and the Baseball and Football Sprinkles which I used in the shaker card. I am also using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Tri-Frame dies and the Quokka image is from the Kat Scrappiness Summer Quokka stamp set. Would you like to win the entire May release? Kat Scrappiness will pick one lucky winner! (*U.S. residents only but if international winner is chosen, winner will have to pay for shipping). Here’s how to win: ENTER THE GIVEAWAY BY CLICKING ON THE RAFFLECOPTER. WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON THE KS INSPIRATION FACEBOOK PAGE ON JUNE 4th.

Here is my shaker card I created using the Kat Scrappiness, Inc. newly released products.

Here is how I created my shaker card:

1. I cut the base card at 6 x 3 1/2. I then cut the lumber yard slimline paper to size and to the base of the card.
2. I then die cut the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Tri-Frame die from the Kat Scrappiness

Starlights jewels slimline paper.

3. I adhered Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Acetate Sheet to the Mini Slimline Tri-Frame die with liquid glue. I added some foam tape to the back of the Tri-Frame die and attached the acetate.
4. I added the shaker parts of the card to the base.
5. I stamped and colored the image with copics from the Kat Scrappiness Summer Quokka and added him to the front of the card.
6. I die cut the Happy Father’s Day with Shadow Die with the lumber yard slimline paper and die cut the shadow with vellum, I adhered them together and added it to the card.
