    Hi Crafty Friends,

    Are you ready for Halloween? I made this fun shaker with the NEW Kat Scrappiness Shaker Kits. This is the House Kit. These make shakers SO EASY to create. Simply paint, color, decoupage the frame, or keep it plain. The kit comes with three pieces the base which is just the foam, the acetate sheet that fits perfectly on the foam, and the frame. All you need is sequins and glue! No need to fussy cut shapes or foam tape to bend around corners.

    Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

    Q: What are you being for Halloween?

    A: Me and Maddie are going to be UNICORNS! But in the past we have been Thing 1 & Thing 2; Princess Leia and EWOK, and Cowgirls (see below).

     I created my background using the Kat Scrappiness Crafter’s Essentials Fall dies.

     

    I painted my house frame from the House Shaker Kit with acrylic paint and sealed it with ModPodge. I glued the foam down to the patterned dot paper and added the Hocus Pocus Halloween Sequin Mix.

    Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with you!

    I prepared some easy shaker cards and more for you! Now Kat Scrappiness is selling Shaker Dimension Sets that are easy to manipulate, decorate and create amazing shaker cards. Let me show you my designs:

    Shaker Cards and more by Martha Lucia

     

    On my first card, I used the new Merry Christmas Snowglobe Shaker Card Kit. Originally It is color Kraft and to make it different I inked the lower part with VersaFine Satin Red and covered it with clear embossing powder. After melt the powder, I repeated the process and obtained a very shiny touch. To make the snowglobe more special, I inked the circular part with VersaMark and covered with Sparkle Embossing Powder. I repeated the process to obtain  a very sparkle touch.

    In a separate piece of whisper white card stock, I stamped different images from the stamp set Merry Critters from Kat Scrappiness and colored the images with Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir. I fussy cut the images and arranged over an inked circle that I cut with one of the Never Ending Circle Dies. I arranged all the pieces with different highs and added some 3mm Clear Solid Stars and some Golden Anniversary Sequins to make the shaker effect. Then I pasted my shaker piece over a whisper white card base that I decorated with the Star Fusion Cover Plate.

    My next card is a Fall card that I made using the stamp set Happy Fall Y’all and the Medallion Cover Plate in combination with the Medium Oval Shaker Card Kit. This shaker kit came in white and I changed the colors of the frame using Powder Puff Chalk Ink from Quick Quotes Scrapbook Company. To make the background I die cut an oval with one Never Ending Oval Die and used Harmony Water Reactive Inks from Spectrum Noir.

     

    Shaker Cards and more by Martha Lucia

    To embellish the card, I used one of my favorites products from Kat Scrappiness, Sequins! I used the Autumn Harvest collection and the colors are simply gorgeous!

    Now I have a different product to share with you. The fabulous Halloween Borders!

     

    Shaker Cards and more by Martha Lucia

    I decided to create a non scary Halloween card. The base and the second layer of my card is Whisper White. I just inked the second layer with five different tones of Harmony Water Reactive Ink from Spectrum Noir and stamped on the center a sentiment Halloween Stamp. The colors of Harmony Ink that I used are: Pale Fig, Crushed Velvet, Plum Pudding, Lemon Tonic and Baby Blue. The sentiment is Trick or Treat by Rena from my stach that I stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

     

    Shaker Cards and more by Martha Lucia

    I die cut the the second layer using the large Zig Zag Rectangle Stitched Die from Kat Scrappiness and pasted over the card base using double sided foam tape. To embellish the card, I used basic black card stock to die cut the spiderweb and the bats borders included on the Halloween Border Dies from Kat Scrappiness. I separate the bats, and pasted over the front card area with double sided foam tape and finalized with the super cute gosh included on the Halloween Party Sequin Mix from Kat Scrappiness.

    Thank you for stopping by and see you soon with more new products!

    Holiday Cards Using Kat’s New Shaker Card Kits

    Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I have three Halloween and Thanksgiving shaker cards from the just released “Shaker Card Kits” line from Kat Scrappiness. These shaker kits include everything you’ll need to create a shaker card quickly and easily.

    My first card is a Halloween one that features the new “Framed Dome Window Shaker Card Kit.”

    I had a blast “Halloween-izing” this shaker kit with black acrylic paint and white distress wood lines for the window frame. Every window needs some curtains, right?  I used orange tulle to create the drapes and filled the shaker with Kat‘s “Hocus Pocus” sequin mix. The skeleton, cat, and sentiment are all from Kat‘s “Toil & Trouble” stamp set.

     

    My second card is a spider web-infested Halloween card, complete with a skeleton head and dingy, torn “wallpaper” around a “mirror.”

    I used the “Medium Oval Shaker Card Kit” to create the mirror, and then added some spider patterned acetate behind it in lieu of the piece of acetate that comes in the kit. I filled the oval with Kat‘s new “All Hallows ‘Eve” sequin mix. The skeleton head was stamped and colored from the Kat Scrappiness “Toil & Trouble” stamp set..

     

    Let’s change things up with a Thanksgiving card this time! I used the “House with Chimney Shaker Card Kit” and covered it with wood patterned paper from ModaScrap, and then filled the shaker element with Kat’s “Apple Sprinkles.”

    To create the background, I used a green print paper from Lawn Fawn’s “Fall Fling Petite Paper Pack,” the tree die from Kat‘s “Crafters Essentials-Fall” die set, and one of the cloud dies from the “He is Risen” die set. Kat’s “Happy Thanksgiving Brush Script Word & Sentiment Die” was the finishing touch on the roof.

    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”!

    Sloth Shaker

    Hi my crafty friends,

    Today we are creating with great products from Kat Scrappiness called Stewart the Sloth Stamp set and the large circle Shaker Dimension set. The easiest way to make a shaker card is to use one of these easy to use shaker kits.

    I started by painting the circle of the kit. While it dried, I created the back drop of the window. The back drop was adhered to the layer one (4”x5 1/4”) card stock. The ring/dimension element of the kit is attached over the back drop. Next the shaker fill was added to the circle. I used Kat Scrappiness Blue Hollow Circle Mix. Attach the painted ring and acetate over the shaker circle.

    The final part of this card is to stamp and color Stewart the Sloth and  adhere him to the outside of the shaker. I added the butterfly from the stamp set to the frame. Stamp the sentiment on to coordinating banner and add to card front. Attach all to card base and you have an easy to make shaker card.

    Please share your easy to make Shaker cards for all of us to see.

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. Do you struggle with Shaker Cards? Kat Scrappiness now has Shaker Card Kits. These kits take the guess work out of making shaker cards. It comes with everything except the filler to create a fun shaker card. For my card today I used the Snowglobe Shaker Card Kit #058. Below you will find the steps to create your own 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 horizontal side fold card. (A2)

    Step 2 – Trim Patterned Paper to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and adhere to card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. The Patterned Paper I used is no longer in print but I linked to a set that would go well with the sequins and sprinkles I used.

    Step 3 – Trim a piece of Patterned Paper that will be the background of the shaker. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Adhere the Foam Shape to the card front on top of the Patterned Paper that was just adhered using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Be sure to let it dry thoroughly before adding the filler.

    Step 4 – Add Falling Snow Sprinkes and Fluffy Clouds Sequins inside of the Foam Shape. Adhere the acetate window on top of the Foam Shape using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Do not shake yet. Let it dry thoroughly. You can place an acrylic block on top.

    Step 5 – Before placing the Decorative Frame Overlay be sure to color in or adhere Patterned Paper. I used a Spectrum Noir Illustrator in Black to the cover. Then used a Wink of Stella Glitter Pen for some added sparkle. Once it is dry and to the shaker using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Once again let dry thoroughly.

    Step 6 – Add a sentiment to the front. My sentiment for from the Patterned Paper set I used as well as the bird. I trimmed and adhered it to the card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    There are many shaker card kits to choose from and it covers any occasion. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

    So many Shaker kits!

    Have you seen the new shaker kits that were released yesterday?  There are 30 different designs to choose from.  These kits are so fun and make it easy to create shaker cards.  Each kit contains the decorative overlay piece (the top layer which can be decorated), an acetate sheet, and shaker element shape base which is 3mm thick.  Here is a look at how the kit arrives.

    For my first card, I used Large rectangle kit to create a fun shaker Halloween card.  I adhered patterned paper to the top piece with liquid adhesive, cut around it using my craft knife, and then used a file to clean up the edges.  I colored some cute Halloween images with Copic markers and adhered them to the acetate sheet and glued that to the top layer of the shaker kit.

    I heat embossed my sentiment using orange embossing powder onto a piece of black patterned paper with some scary trees!  I filled the shaker part with the Halloween Masquerade sequin mix.  I covered my card base with striped green paper, die cut two of the spider web borders from the Halloween border dies, and adhered them to the top and bottom of the card base.  I then attached the shaker layer to the card base.

    My second card uses the Christmas Tree Ornament shaker kit.  I’ve attached it to my card using temporary adhesive so the recipient can use it as a Christmas ornament.  I colored the top portion of the kit with a green Copic marker and then added glitter to the edge of the tree.  I added sequins from the Holiday Fun sequin mix to the shaker kit and adhered the kit together.

    I used the Embossed Circle dies to cut the red snowflake paper and one of the snow drifts from the Crafters Essentials Winter die set to cut a snow drift from white patterned paper.  I adhered everything to my square card base, stamped Merry Christmas from the Merry Critters stamp set, and added red/white twine to the ornament.  To finish the card, I used temporary adhesive to the back of the shaker to attach to the card base.

    I had so much fun creating these shaker cards.  I still have a few more kits, so stay tuned!  In the meantime, head over to the shop and grab some of these great kits.  I can’t wait to see what you guys.

    Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!  Here is a link to the Kat Scrappiness shop and direct links for products used on this card are below.
