A Quokkka for Every Card

The Quokka has been nicknamed the world’s happiest animal!

They are marsupials and just like a kangaroo, they can carry their baby Joeys in their pouch.

You can find these adorable little chipmunk lookalikes in Australia on Rottnest Island!

They are said to be so friendly that you could even take a selfie with them!

Kat Scrappiness has 3 different stamp sets featuring the adorable Quokka!

Valentine Quokka

and the newest addition is

Everyday Quokka

It’s Lisa from Oh So Cute By Lisa here with you today on the Kat Scrappiness blog and I have a fun card to share today that features a few fun products from Kat Scrappiness!

The Everyday Quokka set is so versatile because it comes with so many accessory stamps to dress up your Quokka with! Here’s a look at the stamp set:

I created a mini slimline card using the Everyday Quokka stamp set and I used the birthday cake stamp to make a birthday card. Depending on what your Quokka is holding you can make birthday cards, holiday cards, baby cards and the list goes on and on!

I started with a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest white cardstock and cut out a panel using the largest die from the Mini Slimline Double Stitched Dies. After I cut out the panel I embossed it with a paw print embossing folder.

*Cardmaking Tip*

Make sure you cut your panel out with the slimline die before you emboss it so you don’t flatten the embossed pattern in the die cut machine.

**ask me how I know**

😂😂😂

I matted the embossed panel on to a piece of brown card stock and then on to a mini slimline base.

The clean and simple Happy Birthday die was the perfect addition.

Look how cute this little guy looks holding his cake! You just can’t be sad if you’re holding cake!

🍰 🍰 🍰

In hindsight I wish I cut his hands out so you could see him holding the cake but he’s still

cute nonetheless right?

I hope you enjoyed my cute little Quokka card today and make sure to head to the Kat Scrappiness store today and check out the entire new February release! There are lots of new dies and an endless amount of sprinkles and sequins to choose from!

Have a great day, I already am!

A Bit of Spring

If you’re like me, Spring can’t come fast enough! Even though there’s tons of snow still on the ground here, my craft room was filled with tulips and the promise of the coming Easter holiday!

For my card, I cut a blue striped pattern paper using one of the NEVER ENDING NESTING DIES and adhered it to the card base. Using one of the new SLIMLINE FILM STRIP BORDER DIES, I cut dark brown cardstock and adhered it on top of the pattern paper. These lovely flower bouquet was created with the new LAYERED TULIP BOUQUET DIE SET which I doubled the stems/leaves by using two different colors of green cardstock before adding the diecut tulips and bow. For the sentiment, I used the HAPPY EASTER W/SHADOW DIE and cut the ‘shadow’ from vellum and the words from a soft coral cardstock. To finish, I placed a few BLUE HEART DROPLETS.

Be sure to follow Kat Scrappiness via blog, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube so you won’t miss any projects the design team shares…not to mention, you’ll be among the first to hear about deals and specials!

Hello everyone!

It’s Donna here and I am sharing two cards with you today. I am using the NEWLY release Rainbow and Clouds Slimline dies. This die is a wonderful addition to all the Slimline products that Kat Scrappiness has to offer. I am also using the newly released Happy Mail (Mailbox) Gift Card Holder Dies. This is a wonderful die, it is very versatile. And lastly, I am using the Kat Scrappiness Everyday Quakkas stamp set. This is a wonderful stamp set that can be using all year long.

Here is my card for your inspiration:

Here is how I created my card:

1. My card base measure 8 1/4 x 3 1/4.

2. I die cut my top layer using the Kat Scrappiness Heartfelt Wishes slimline pattern paper with Kat Scrappiness Embossed Edge Nesting Slimline Dies. I adhered this to the base of my card.

3. I then die cut the rainbow from the Rainbow and Clouds Slimline die. I cut several different papers to create the rainbow. I then cut the clouds from the same slimline die.

4. I then die cut the pieces from the Kat Scrappiness Happy Mail (Mailbox) Gift Card Holder Dies. If you would like to review a video on how to put this together, click here. I assembled everything and added it to the card. I then added the Rainbow to the card, having it coming out of the Mailbox. I then added the clouds. I added the “happy mail” to the top of the card.

5. To finish off my card, I added Kat Scrappiness My Valentine enamel dots.

Here is another view of the card. I think this is my all time favorite card!!!

My second card, I am using the NEWLY released Everyday Quakkas. This is a very versatile stamp set, you can almost use this set all year long.

Here is how I created my card:

1. My card is a mini slimline card measuring 3×6.

2. I die cut the top panel using the Kat Scrappiness mini Slimline Wonky Stitched Dies. Before taking the die off the panel, I used some distress ink to create the background, and then adhered this to the base of the card.

3. I then die cut a snow bank at the bottom using the of the panel and adhered it to the card.

4. I stamped the Quakkas from the Kat Scrappiness Everyday Quakkas and colored it with copics. I then added some foam tape to him and added it to the card.

5. I then die cut the Kat Scrappiness Wonky Stitched Heart die and stamped the sentiment. I added this to my card.

6. To finish off the card, I added some Kat Scrappiness This Kiss Sprinkles to the card.

Here is another view of the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Here is a list of supplies I used on my card, Affiliate Links used at no additional cost. Thank you for your support.

Look for Rainbows Slimline Card

Hi Everyone! Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs. Today I am sharing a slimline card, perfect to send to a friend who could use some encouraging vibes.

But First . . . .

My card today features the new Kat Scrappiness “Slimline Rainbow Die Set”. This set makes creating rainbows for slimline cards so much fun!

I created a slimline card base (8.5″x 7″, scored at 3.5″) and added a layer of white with black stitching background paper from my stash. I ran the rainbow die through my “Big Shot” 6 times (one for each color) and then pieced the rainbow together on the front of the card.

I die cut the 2 clouds that are included in the set using black card stock and added 2 more layers of white behind them to give them dimension. I then die cut 2 raindrops, adhered them underneath the clouds, and added Nuvo “Crystal Glaze” on top.

I finished the card by die cutting the word”Rainbows” with a die from my stash and Lawn Fawn’s “Really Rainbow Petite Paper Pack”, and then stamped a sentiment above it. Kat‘s “Rainbow Heart Sprinkles” scattered about for the finishing touch.

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 . . .

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. Today I am sharing a card using the new Heartfelt Wishes Slimline Paper and the Valentine Quokka. It’s a match made in heaven. Below you will find the steps to create your own card.

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

Step 2 – Diecut Double Stitched Mini Slimline using Heartfelt Wishes Slimline Paper. Adhere to card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 3 – Diecut Layering Nested Heart using Heartfelt Wishes Slimline Paper. A different pattern for each heart. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 4 – Stamp Valentine Quokka (image) using Gina K Amalgam Ink on White Cardstock. Color in any color medium of your choice. I used Prismacolor Premier and gamsol. Diecut with matching die and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Although both the stamp set and papers were for the Valentine’s release this card can be used for other occasions. Such as an Anniversary, Just Because and Sending Love to name a few. Below in a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
