Masculine Christmas Card

December 13, 2020

Kathy Schweinfurth

2 Comments

Creating masculine cards always seem to be a challenge, but Kat Scrappiness has several awesome dies that make it a snap!

For my slimline card, I first layered light blue cardstock for the sky. I then used the new Slimline Mountain Scape dies to create the mountains in the background and tree border in the foreground. The iconic dear and evergreens are from a die set I use all the time: Crafter’s Essentials Winter Dies. The sentiment was created by cutting vellum and gold glitter cardstock using the Merry Christmas with Shadow dies. To finish, I glued on the snowflakes found in the Frosty Wonderland Sequin & Sprinkle mix.

While this card is for Christmas, it’s a great ‘base’ for any masculine-themed card using another sentiment (and minus the snowflakes)!

Christmas/Winter from Cincinnati

December 12, 2020

Friends,

Creating today with the Kat Scrappiness slim line dies. For those who do not know, Cincinnati is usually bleak and gray most of the winter and is known as the city on seven hills.

I started with a layer one for a standard slim line card (3.5×8.5 inches) I ink blended the sky on gray card stock and stamped clouds and birds onto it. Next I die cut the slim line Mountain Scape and slim line Holiday Village out of more shades of gray card stock.

I added yellow paper behind the window cutouts. I assembled the pieces to make the scene. I embossed the sentiment in white on black and added it to the card. A few sequins for sparkle were added. Finally I attached this layer to the black slim line card base.

Supplies:

KS – mountain scape slim line dies

Holiday Village slim line die

Sequins

White embossing powder

O Christmas Trees | Donut & Rustic

December 11, 2020

Hi Everyone! Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs. Today I have two Christmas tree cards – one with a touch of “rustic” – the other draped in donuts!

For both, I used the Kat Scrappiness “Stitched and Layered Christmas Tree Die“.

To create my first card. I die cut the Christmas tree using a donut patterned paper from the new “Cuppa Christmas”slimline paper pad and backed it with acetate.

Then I die cut the Christmas tree again – once using a red patterned paper in the pack, then again with a teal patterned paper, and finally with a solid red paper for the base of the tree. I adhered lots of “Chocolate Sprinkle Donut Sprinkles”inside the openings and white heat embossed the sentiment, “donut know what I’d do without you” from the “Punny Snacks” stamp set at the base before adhering the top layer over all the openings.

For my second card, I used a Pink Paislee Christmas paper pack from my stash and followed the same steps (minus the sprinkles.)

The “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the “Merry Critters” stamp set was white heat embossed at the base.

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”!

Merry Christmas

Hello everyone,

I am back with Kat Scrappiness sharing a slimline card using the NEWLY released Forest for the Trees slimline die. I am also using Kat Scrappiness Merry Critters Stamp Set.

Here is my card:

Here is how I created my card:

1. I cut the base for my slimline card at 3 1/2 x 8 1/2,

2. I die cut the Forest for the Trees slimline die with white cardstock, I then die cut the Forest for the Trees set again with the teal color and only used the frame of the die,

3. I then cut the snowy background with the NEWLY released Sugar Plum Fairies Slimline Paper Pack . I then adhered all of these pieces onto the base of the slimline card,

4. I then stamped the images from the Merry Critters Stamp Set. I colored them with copics and used my scan and cut to cut them out and I adhered them to the card.

I hope I have been inspired. Here is a list of supplies I used on my card, Affiliate Links used at no additional cost. Thank you for your support.

My next card, which is a bonus card….I just could not get enough of the NEWLY released Wrapped Up with A Bow Slimline Die. I created a gift card holder, I thought the bow was perfect for a gift card as a stocking stuffer.

I used some mirrored cardstock to die cut the bow, I then cut the base of the gift card holder with some kraft cardstock, I cut the top panel with Kat Scrappiness A Cozy Christmas Slimline Paper Pack, I adhered all the pieces to the panel of the slimline card, I die cut the Happy Holidays from some mirrored cardstock and added it to my card. The snowflakes are Kat Scrappiness White Snowflake Sprinkles.

This is the inside of the gift card.

Here is a list of supplies for the gift card holder. Affiliate Links used at no additional cost. Thank you for your support.

Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon.
