    Coffee & animal cards by Martha Lucia

    Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with you. Today I have two cute and different cards. These were made with the new dies included on the most recently release and I am sure you will love these.

    I love when I can use my products in different type of projects. To make the above card, I just die cut the Coffee Time Background Die in white card stock and pasted with crafty foam to a early expresso card base. Using crafty foam you can easily elevate the high of the cover plate and give to it more dimension.

    Then, I stamped in a separate piece of white card stock one of the sloths included on the stamp set Stewart the Sloth with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images with Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir using the colors RB1 & MB1, TN3, PP5 & MG4, CR3. With scissors I fussy cut the image and let it on a side for a while.

    I took a strip of white card stock and inked it with Ocean Blue Harmony Water Reactive Ink from Spectrum Noir. When the ink was totally dry, I partially stamped one of the sentiments included on the same stamp set, the Stewart the Sloth. To finalize the card, I arranged all the pieces with crafty foam tape on the lower part.

    My second card was created with Lola the Giraffe stamp set. I decided to make a slimline model and stamped four times the Giraffe in a row onto the top white layer of the card base. I colored each image with different tones of Sparkle Glimmer Pens from Spectrum Noir and stamped around of them some grass images included on the same stamp set, Lola the Giraffe.

    To embellish the card, I die cut a frame using the large size of the new Tri-Frame Slimline Dies onto designer paper and pasted directly over the stamped top layer. Additionally, I stamped one of the sentiments included on the same stamp set, Lola the Giraffe and die cut if with one Stitched Sentiment Strip Die.  As final touch a few Butterfly Sprinkles and Little Lady Bug Sprinkles for the amazing collection of embellishments available at Kat Scrappiness store.

    Christmas is Gnoming!

    Hi crafters, it’s Caren here today with a Christmas in July card.  Did everyone have a chance to look a the new release goodies?  What was your favorite product?  Mine is the Christmas Gnome stamp set!  It is so cute, and I love the punny sentiments.

    For my card, I used the gnome holding the candy cane with the Christmas is Gnoming sentiment.  I colored the image using Copic markers and cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo machine.  From white card stock, I die cut the Stitched Winter Swirl Backdrop die and applied distress ink using brushes.  I think used one of the Double Stitched Rectangle dies to cut out a portion of this die and layered it on black card stock.

    I found a piece of red snowflake patterned paper in my stash and die cut it with the largest Double Stitched Rectangle die and layered it with black card stock.  I stamped the sentiment using Versamark ink and white embossing powder on the banner die from the Crafters Essentials Fall die set.  I then layered these panels onto a white card base.  I used dimensional adhesive to add the gnome and sentiment banner.  I added a few Sparking Clear jewels to finish off the card.

    Have you started making your Christmas/Holiday cards yet?

    Backgrounds and Large Sentiment Dies

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. Do you create backgrounds but set it aside because you don’t know what to do with them? I admit I create a lot of backgrounds and have a pile. Last month Kat Scrappiness came out with big sentiment with shadow dies. Just add a big sentiment to your background and you have a card. Below you will find the steps to 2 examples.

    Card #1

    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 – Create a bokeh background. To do this apply ink in a circular motion using an ink applicator in various colours. Let dry. Take a circle stencil and apply white ink. This will allow the colour beneath to show softly and will create the bokeh effect. If you do not have a circle stencil simply diecut various circles from the Never Ending Circles dies.

    Step 3 – Diecut Double Stitched Rectangle to the panel created in Step 2 and adhere to the card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 4 – Diecut Hooray using White Cardstock and the shadow using Blue Cardstock. Assemble and then adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 5 – For added interest randomly adhere Pastel Confetti Sprinkles using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and a Crystal Katana.

    Card #2

    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 – Create a background using a stencil and ink blending.

    Step 3 – Diecut Double Stitched Rectangle to the panel created in Step 2 and adhere to the card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 4 – Diecut You Rock using Blue Cardstock and the shadow using White Cardstock. Assemble and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    These cards can be used for many occasions by adding a small sentiment strip. For example the Hooray card can be a birthday card by adding a small sentiment strip It’s Your Day! Below is a link to the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

    My Hero Cityscape Card

    Hi there it’s Lisa here from Oh So Cute By LisaI am up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today with a card using one of the brand new Slimline Dies just released this weekend! For my card I used the Cityscape Slimline Layered Dies. Now as you may have noticed my card is not a slimline card but that is the beauty of this particular die.  You can cut it down to make a standard A2 sized card very easily!

    To start with I took a ray themed stencil and did some stenciling on the background of my card.  I used 2 different colors of Distress Oxide inks, Fossilized Amber and Squeezed Lemonade. Once I had the background done I adhered the bottom layer of the Cityscape Slimline Layered Dies in yellow and the top layer in black.  Since there are lots of tiny holes in the top layer the yellow paper makes it appear that the lights are illuminated in all of the buildings.

    Now that the base of the card was prepped I started on my little super hero. I stamped the little guy from the Heffy Doodle Super Dudes in Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored him with my Copic Markers. Once I had him colored I popped him up on my card with foam tape. The “my hero” die cut was cut from black paper using the My Hero Heffy Cuts. For some extra highlights I used the Sakura Gelly Roll Pen Classic Size 10 to highlight all of the images and words. This particular gel pen is the best one I’ve ever used and I think it makes such bold lines because it is the #10 size.

    For a final touch I added some very appropriate Kat Scrappiness Superhero Sprinkles to my card!

    I really hope you enjoyed my card today, I certainly enjoyed creating it!

    Jingle Bells

    Hello fellow card makers,

    Today I am sharing a Christmas card made using products from the Kat Scrappiness newest release. We all know Christmas planning starts in July so let’s get started on those cards.

    Using the new slim line dies I cut the different layers of the card. I used the Wonky Edge Slimline die and the Embossed Edge Slimline dies in two sizes.

    Next I die cut the trees using the tree die from the KS Crafter’s Essentials Winter Die Set. I did cut the trees in two shades of green and cut some of the tree line apart in order to arrange the trees to fit the slimline format. Before putting the trees on the card I splatted white paint onto them. When attaching the trees I used some foam tape to give the card dimension. I stamped some clouds in the sky above the tree line.

    Now for the best part of the card! The adorable Christmas Gnome from the newest release alone with a sentiment from the set were stamped and added to the card to complete the look but not without a few sequins. Excited to see all the Christmas cards to be made with this wonderful new stamp set.
