    Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. Today’s card is using the Hello My Crafty Friend die along with the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Dies topped with the Confetti Sprinkles. Below is the steps to create your own card.

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 7” x 8 1/2”, score at 3 1/2’ and fold in half for a horizontal side fold card. (Slimline Card)

    Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 3 1/2” x 8 1/2”. Stamp images in multiple colours. Diecut the panel using the Stitched Scalloped Nesting. Adhere to card front using Foam Tape. I linked below to a stamp set that is similar to the image I used.

    Step 3 – Diecut Hello My Crafty Friend using coloured Cardstock (same colours as images used) and another using Black Cardstock. Adhere the Black diecut to the card and then the coloured diecut offsetting it.

    Step 4 – For added interest randomly adhere Pastel Confetti Sprinkles (the same colours as your image) using a Crystal Katana and Collage Medium.

    This card can be used for any occasion by changing the colours and the sentiment. I made a custom Slimline Envelope by using my We R Memory Keepers Envelope 1-2-3 Punch Board. Below you will find the link to the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

    “You Rock” | Using Large Word Dies for Easy Card Making

    June 28, 2020

    Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I want to share some cards I made for the Kat Scrappiness Blog  featuring two of the  newly released word with shadow dies – “You Rock” and “Thank You.” Both fill the majority of an A2 card front, making card making so easy. Just adhere the die with or without the shadow backing on a card front that you’ve embossed, inked, or added patterned paper . . . and you’re done!

    My first card features the “You Rock” die sentiment that I cut from red glitter card stock and adhered (without the shadow) to a rectangle stamped with a rock pattern I had in my stash and framed with dark gray card stock. Three of Kat‘s “Red Star Sprinkles” finished this card.

    My second card showcases the new “Thank You” die.

    For this card, I die cut the “Thank You” from white shimmer card stock and its shadow from regular white matte card stock. I had embossed the card front with a leaf patterned embossing folder before adhering the word/shadow sentiment. For finishing touches I added a die-cut leaf branch and three of Kat’s Little Lady Bug Sprinkles.”

    Easy peasey!

    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”!

    Today friends we are making a simple and quick thank you card using the Kat Scrappiness thank you die (and shadow). We often need to thank someone for their kindness so it is wonderful to be able to make that card with little effort.

    I started with cutting a shimmering gold thank you and a black thank you. I then glued the two layers together with a slight off set. This gives the words a bit of a shadow.

    For the background I used a 3-D Embossing folder that I inked on the background side. This allowed the ink to color the depressed part of the design only. This allows the gold shimmer to highlight the floral image of the Embossing folder.

    In the final step I layered the embossed layer onto a black layer then onto a gold shimmer layer. (Secret: I used the same piece of gold that I cut the thank you out of to save on specialty paper.) I added a few enamel dots in black and a gold embossed sub-sentiment to complete the card.

    Under The Sea

    I wish I could go scuba diving. I’d love to see all the wonders of the ocean!  I tried it once, but got very claustrophobic and didn’t get to see much under the sea {insert sad face}.   At least I got a glimpse of it in my craft room using these two beautiful Kat Scrappiness dies!

    For my card, I cut white cardstock using the Under The Sea background die — isn’t it gorgeous?!  I blended two Distress Oxide inks using the Pink & Main Ergonomic Blending Brush over the diecut then placed a piece of silver Craft Perfect Mirror Cardstock behind it.

    Dolphins are such beautiful, graceful animals!  I used the Stitched Dolphins Die set to cut navy cardstock to add the dolphin silhouettes.

    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!

    Look For Rainbows

    Hi and welcome back to the Kat Scrappiness blog. It’s Lisa here today from Oh So Cute By Lisa and I have a fun rainbow card to share with all of you using lots of goodies from Kat Scrappiness!

    Rainbows and shakers are two of my favorite things so I love to create them any chance I get.

    I started out by using a raindrop stencil from my stash that is similar to the Newton’s Nook Raindrops Stencil and some vibrant rainbow colored inks. I used a piece of Bristol Smooth card stock and a mini blending tool and then I ink blended in rainbow order over the raindrops.

    Once I had the ink blending done I took my panel and cut out a smaller panel using the largest die from the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle Dies from Kat’s store.

    Next I took the smaller cloud die from the He Is Risen Dies and I placed it in 3 different places on the raindrop panel and cut it out so I could make 3 different shaker wells on the front of my card.

    I turned the panel over and covered it with a piece of acetate making sure to cover the open cloud areas. To pop the panel up and create the shaker wells, I used foam tape to section off the clouds and pop the whole panel up. Now the fun part! I filled all 3 shaker wells with some fun Rainbow Bright Sprinkles! I covered the backs of the clouds with white card stock and then matted the whole panel on to a purple panel measuring 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.

    I then placed the finished panel on to a white card base.

    For the sentiment I used Versafine Black Onyx ink which is my go to black ink and I love how crisp it stamps! I also used some Sparkling Clear Droplets around the finished card to add some extra shine!

    For one extra fun added element I used the Rainbow made of polymer clay that is included in the

    Teal Kawaii Cloud Sprinkles. What a fun element to add to any card!

    This card is just all full of color and whimsy and I love how it turned out!

    Kat Scrappiness is definitely your go to shop for all things shaker related!

    There are literally hundreds of different sequins and sprinkles in stock to fit any theme card or any style card you can dream of! From food to animals to jewels, Kat has you covered!

    Don’t forget to follow Kat Scrappiness on all

    social media platforms to be alerted to new releases, sales and giveaways!

    Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!

    Have a wonderful day, I already am!

    Hip Hip Hooray

    Hi everyone, happy Hump Day!  I have a fun, clean and simple card for you today.

    I used several Kat Scrappiness dies  and a couple of sequin/jewel sets to create this card.  I die cut “hip” twice using the Condensed Lowercase Alphabet dies from light turquoise card stock.  Hooray is from one of the dies released this month – Hooray with Shadow die. I cut this out of a little bit darker turquoise card stock.  My yellow star background panel was die cut using the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle dies.

    I added my letters and words to the star panel using foam adhesive and adhered the panel to a white card base.  To finish the card, I added a few clear sequins and teal jewels.

    I love the way this card turned out.  I can use this card as a birthday or celebration card.  Thanks for stopping by!
