    “Koala-ty Time” | Birthday and Mother’s Day Cards

    Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I have two cards that showcase the new stamp set in the Kat Scrappiness shop called “Koala-ty Time.”

    My first card uses one of the two adorable koalas in the stamp set for a birthday card.

     

    I colored the koala with the Stampin’-Up “Pool Party” alcohol markers and softened it out with a blender pen before die cutting it out using my Brother “Scan-n-Cut” machine.I also used the SU “Pool Party” ink pad to create a soft circle background for my koala. I stamped a line border with foliage on the left and bottom of the card using brown ink and painted the leaves with Distress Ink in “Evergreen Bough.” The sentiment, “Have a Koala-ty Birthday!” was stamped also with the “Evergreen Bough” ink. I used Kat‘s new “Brown Confetti Sprinkles” for a final touch.

     

    My second card used the other koala image to create a Mother’s Day card.

    I created a slimline card base(8.5″ x 3.5″) and added patterned paper, die cut with one of the new Kat ScrappinessEmbossed Edge Nesting Slimline Dies.”  Inside of that , I adhered a white panel, die cut with one of the new “Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies.” I die cut the “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment out of rust card stock and triple layered it for a 3-D effect.The mom & baby koala was colored with a gold-brown Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend marker and softened with a blender pen. I adhered the koala on a bed of foliage and flowers created with dies from my stash.

    Let’s Shake It Up!

    Are you ready to shake it up?!  The new Kat Scrappiness Shaker Kits and Confetti Sprinkles are SO fun with loads of creative possibilities!  

    For my first card, I layered pattern paper onto the cardbase then cut navy cardstock with one of the new Stitched Scallop Nesting Slim Dies.  Using the Dog House Shaker Kit, I added these fun sprinkles:  Bright Yellow Confetti, Dark Blue Hearts and Brown Paw Prints.  To complete the card, I used Pet Sentiments Brush Script Word Dies for the paw prints and ‘woof’.

    During ‘social distancing’ it seems the way folks have been celebrating birthdays and other special occasions is by car caravan!  I thought this Car Shaker Kit would perfectly depict how we’re still getting some in-person ‘face time’ with our friends and family while staying safe.

    I used the new Embossed Edge Nesting Slimline Dies as the base and one of the smaller of these dies to create the ‘road’.  For the shaker, I painted the car with acrylic paints and filled it with an assortment of sequins/sprinkles:  Small Rainbow Sprinkles, Be Mine sequins and Red Confetti Sprinkles.  I placed silver cardstock behind the ‘window’ part and added the bunny image from Kat Scrapiness Merry Critters stamp set.  To finish, I added the die cut words from “Hello My Crafty Friend” die set.

    Butterfly Slim Line

    Hello crafty folks,

    I am sharing a card using the new Kat Scrappiness slim line dies. There are two sets. One has scalloped edges and the other has embossed edges. They are sized to work with each other.

    I started by die cutting an embossed rectangle in a solid then a scalloped edge floral print one size smaller.

    Next, I cut wonky rectangles in layering sizes. I used an old butterfly die to cut three butterflies to be placed onto the wonky rectangles. The hope was to add interest to a relatively simple card.

    The final step is to assemble the pieces. A sentiment was embossed on a small banner. The butterflies were attached to the rectangles and spaced across the slim line card front. The sentiment was centered and attached. I wrapped twine under the images and attached a bow. This design would work with many different images and embellishments.

    Supplies:

    KS – stitched edge nesting slim line dies

    KS – Embossed Edge nesting slim line dies

    Are you ready to see the samples?


    ADAM KARLE

     

    I am totally in-love with this first card by Adam.  He layered a bunch of eucalyptus in gray and mint for his background and foam-mounted the koalas in the middle of the card.  He finished his design by also foam-mounting the sentiment that he embossed on black card stock using some white embossing powder.

     

    I absolutely ADORE this card.  Adam die-cut some colorful strips to create his rainbow background and added a big cloud to ground his koala image. So cute!

     


    CAREN BARTHOLOMEW

     

     

    I LOVE this dreamy, pastel-themed card by Caren.  She used the Wonky stitched and scallop circle dies from the shop and foam-mounted the Koalas.  To finish her design, she added the sentiment that she embossed on black card stock.

     


     

    JO THOMPSON

     

     

    Amazing slimline card by YouTube DT member, Jo!   She also has a process video of this card on the KS channel.

     

     


    KATHY SCHWEINFURTH

     

     

    Such a beautiful card design by Kathy.  She used our new Stitched Scalloped Slimline Nesting dies with the Embossed Edge Slimline nesting dies and layered them on her card.  She stamped the eucalyptus image three times on her background and foam-mounted the koalas.  She finished her design by adding the sentiment in the middle of her card.


     

    LISA GOLZBEIN

     

     

    What a cute shaker card design by Lisa.  She used the Bamboo backdrop die for her background and adhered the Koala image on the corner with liquid glue.  She also added the word “friend” that she die-cut using the Scripty “hello my crafty friend” die.

     

     

    Loving the beautiful patterned paper that Lisa used for her background.  This card is really perfect for Mother’s Day.

     


     

    MARIA RUSSELL

     

     

    I colored my image on Neenah solar white card stock with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers.   I used the Clouds stencil by Newton’s Nook Designs and dye inks by Lawn Fawn to create the clouds.    I die-cut the heart window using the double-stitched heart nesting dies.  To add more texture to the background I used an embossing folder from my stash.  The sentiment I used is called “Your Heart Skips a Beat by riley & Co.” that I heat-embossed on black card stock that was die-cut using the Venetian Label dies by Gina Marie Designs.

     

     

    I used another stencil by Newton’s Nook to create my colorful background.  I used the Stitched Scalloped Border die to die-cut the white panel and ink blended this panel with some Tumbled glass distress oxide ink.  I foam-mounted my image and added the sentiment that was heat-embossed on black card stock.  To finish my design I added some crystal jewels.

     


     

    MARTHA GOMEZ

     

    Super adorable card by Martha.  The background was created by stamping the eucalyptus images a couple of times with some green dye ink.  She colored her images in with some light gray markers and they really popped against the watercolor background.

     

     


     

    MEGHAN KENNIHAN

     

    Meghan’s cards are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!  She used the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline die and ink-blended this panel with distress oxide inks.  She stamped and colored the images from Koala-ty-Time, Hoppy For You and Stewart The Sloth.

     

    Meghan used some embossing paste and stencil to create her background.  The heart frames were die-cut using the Stitched Scalloped Heart dies and the sentiment was stamped on Stitched Fishtail Banner dies.


     

    PRISCILLA JOSEPH

     

    I really LOVE that Priscilla colored the Koalas using Tri-Blend markers in gold yellow mixed with the blender, instead of the typical gray.   Her image really stood out!  The sentiment was die-cut using the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment die.

     

    Another card that is completely unique!  Priscilla colored the Koala image using Stampin’ Up pens and the leaves were colored using distress ink.  She also added some Brown Confetti sprinkles to finish her design.


     

    TINA DORNBAUM

     

    Oh my goodness!  I love, love, love Tina’s “minty” card!  She used the new Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline dies and created the window frame using the Double Stitched rectangle dies.  The images were colored using alcohol makers and foam mounted on the card.  To finish her design, the added the mint-green hearts.

     


     

    WALESKA GALINDO

     

    Waleska ink-blended her background with distress oxide inks and stamped the eucalyptus a couple of times and also added the tree branch to ground her koala images. She used the new Stitched Scalloped slimline die to mat her card.

     


     

    GUEST DT – SANDRA M. BEUS

    Our guest designer, Sandra created this card using the new Koala-ty Time stamp set.  She also has a video below.
