October 18, 2019

3 Comments

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.

Hi Crafty Friends,

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

Q: What are your grateful for?

A: Me? My darling BEST Friends MADDIE (my puppy)

I started by cutting the frame using out NEW Embossed Edged Rectangle Dies and the Give Thanks Wreath Die out of brown paper.

Next, I added Kat Scrappiness Acetate to the back of the Embossed Edge frame and then glued the wreath onto the acetate.

I added Kat Scrappiness Chocolate Sprinkles to the inside for my shaker piece, added Nuvo Glitter Accents Aztec Gold drops to the acorns, and finished the edges with Kat Scrappiness Brown Jewels.

I also used this fabulous die to create a fun fall decoration for my mantle! A mason jar with mini lights inside!

I used ModPodge to glue and seal the Give Thanks Wreath Die onto the mason jar.

I painted the silver part with primer, then gold paint.

I die cut the leaves from matching paper using My Creative Time Autumn Leave Dies and glued them to the piece of twine.

I bought the jar lights on Amazon for $8 for a pack of six! They are battery operated.

Embossed Edge Dies & More by Martha Lucia

October 13, 2019

Hi there! Martha Lucia here with you. Today I am featuring the fabulous Embossed Edge Die Cuts released at the beginning of this month and more die cuts from Kat Scrappiness.

I used the Embossed Edge Heart set, the Butterfly Backdrop Die and the stamp set Let’s Get Caffeinated. to create my first card. I stamped one of the sentiments included on the Let’s Get Caffeinated stamp set onto whisper white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and die cut it with one of the middle size hearts included on the Embossed Edge Heart. The photo don’t make justice but the advantage of these die cuts is that you can get the deep on the border and the emboss design at the same time.

To create the background, I used the Butterfly Backdrop Die from Kat Scrappiness. I cut the card base using Mint Macaron and covered it with a second layer of designer paper. then I pasted the Butterfly Backdrop Die over the decorated layer and colored some of the negative parts with markers. I pasted the them with double sided foam tape in the corresponding place. As final touch, I splattered the entire layer with a few drops of Glimmer Mist.

My next card is featuring the Crafters Essentials Fall Dies from Kat Scrappiness and Mystical Leaves Sprinkles.

To make this I used Pool Party card stock for the card base and Crumb Cake card stock for the second layer. I die cut the second layer with the panel layer included on the Crafters Essentials Fall Dies set. I also die cut some leaves in different colors from the same die cut panel.

I inked the panel with different colors of Harmony Water Reactive Dye Ink from Spectrum Noir. I used the next colors of ink: Crushed Velvet, Fuchsia, Honey Pot and Grasshopper. I coordinated the colors of the ink whit the leaves that I die cut. Just to add more interest to the card, I embossed the leaves with a textured embossing folder and tie them with natural hemp tread. As final touch, to decorate the window, I just paste behind of the panel a small piece of Acetate to create a shaker area and decorate with the Mystical Leaves Sprinkles. The sentiment is an image from a fall set from Hero Arts, stamped with StazOn Pigment Ink Snowflake.

For my next card, I used the Embossed Rectangle Dies and the stamp set Happy Fall Y’all!. I inked a complete layer of whisper white card stock with three different colors of Harmony Inks by Spectrum Noir. It is a water reactive die with brilliant colors that mixed give me colors of the fall. I die cut all the rectangles with over the inked layer and interchange the position at the time of paste it.

I stamped one of the images included on the Happy Fall Y’all onto basic black cardstock with VersaMark and Gold embossing powder. Then I colored some parts of the image with Metallic color pencils from Spectrum Noir.

UPDATE: The embossed Edge Rectangle Dies are now out of stock. First, thank you for your support but If you are interested in know when the die will be available again, just add your email to the notification box at the store and you will be the first to know that they are back!

Thank you for stopping by!
