    Beach Gnomes

    Hello Friends Waleska here super happy to be sharing a new tutorial with some of the newest released products.  They are so much fun to create with and this stamp set for sure will put a smile on someone you love.

     

    CARD DETAILS:

    I started with the background, I wanted to create a beach scene.  I cut one of the dies on the Embossed Edge Nesting Slimline Dies as my card base and then cut a second panel to create the waves, from that panel I cut several waves from the Kat Scrappiness Waves Border Dies on this set you have three different types of waves!!!

    I then colored the waves with Oxide Inks Salty Ocean and Chipped Saphire. I then cut the sand and did some white and brown splashes with Vintage Photo Oxide Ink and for the sunrays I used Fossilized Amber on a yellow paper.

    I colored the cute and super funny Beach gnomes from the new Summer Gnomes stamp set enjoying some vacations with copic markers.

     

    I adhere the gnomes into the scene and used one of the funny sentiments.  I also adhere this panel to the biggest of the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies as a base of my card.

    I hope you like my card today and can be inspired by it! If you have someone in your life that is Sexy and you Gnome it…. send a card!

    Have a great day, stay safe,

    Waleska

    Gnomes in the Sun

    Today I am sharing a scene card using the Kat Scrappiness “Summer Gnomes” Stamp Set and “Embossed Edge Circle” dies. I hope you all enjoy making scene cards as much as I do.

    I started by stamping and cutting out the focal images. Next I colored the images using Copic markers.

    I blended a layer of sand and a layer of water. Using the Kat Scrappiness “wave boarder” dies I cut strips of waves. I attached the water to the sand and arranged the gnomes onto the beach scene. Using the “Embossed Edge Circle” dies I cut out the scene.

    I stamped the sentiment and cut layers of card stock to finish the card.

    The final step is to assemble all the layers and pieces. At this point I decided to add a few circle and sequins to complete the card. I found this stamp set to be a lot of fun.

    Supplies:

    KS – Summer Gnomes Stamp set

    – Embossed Edge Circle dies

    – Waves Boarder dies

    Gnome Worry, Be Happy! Card

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. Today I am excited to share with you the new Gnome Summer Stamp Set from Kat Scrappiness. There is also the Summer Gnome Add on Stamp Set but I didn’t have it in time for this card. Below you will find the steps to create your own Gnome Worry, Be Happy! 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 – Place the Cloud Stencil on the card front and add Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass with an applicator to create a cloud sky.

    Step 3 – Diecut Catch A Wave using Blue Cardstock. Optional add some Ink to the edges for definition. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 4 – Trim Kraft Cardstock to 2” x 4 1/4”. Using alcohol markers add speckled in various colours to create texture to the sand. Trim the top in a wavy motion. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 5 – Stamp Summer Gnome images using Gina K Amalgam Ink. Colour in using alcohol markers of your choice. I used Spectrum Noir Classique Markers. Fussy cut the images or use your Scan ‘N’ Cut and adhere to card. Some using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and some with Foam Tape. (I used masking paper to the man Gnome to be able to have him wear the Ducky Inner Tube).

    Step 6 – Stamp Summer Gnome sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink to the bottom left of the card.

    This card can be used for several occasions by changing the sentiment. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

    It’s Always Coffee Time

    Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I want to share a card that features two new stamp stamp sets from Kat Scrappiness  called “Summer Gnome” and “Summer Gnome Add-On.”

     

    I made this card in honor of the “Coffee Loving Cardmakers”  Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, of which Kat Scrappiness is a returning Super Sponsor.

    For my card today, I wanted to create a relaxing beach scene, with a little bit of the “unexpected” going on in the background. Our “Lady Gnome” is quietly sipping on her iced coffee, unbeknownst to her that the giant wave behind her is about to crash onto shore. In the rarest of moments, “it’s always coffee time.” LOL!

     

    For my ocean scene, I used a three-layer wave stamp set I had in my stash with three shades of blue distress inks. I created the sandy beach using two shades of brown distress ink and then splattered it with “Perfect Pearls.” I colored the gnome and the gnome add-ons with Spectrum Noir “Tri-blend” markers, adding some Nuvo “Crystal Glaze” on her iced coffee and sunglasses. The palm tree die was from my stash. The coffee sentiment, “It’s always coffee time” is from the Kat Scrappiness “Let’s Get Caffeinated” stamp set.

    SALE!

     

    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”!
