    Sushi Bento Box

    Hello Kat Scrappiness fans and welcome back to the blog!

    It’s Lisa here with you today and I have a card for you using the brand new

    “Wok On” stamp set! This is an awesome stamp set for all of you sushi lovers out there!

    It has 6 adorable pieces of sushi, 1 cute pile of wasabi and

    one sweet soy sauce bottle not to mention the 5 punny sentiments!

    I decided that the Stitched Scalloped Collage Frame die in the

    Kat Scrappiness store reminded me of a traditional Bento Box

    that you would get in a Japanese restaurant.

    It was the perfect die to use to make a sushi card.

    Here is what a traditional Bento Box looks like when served with sushi.

    Photo credit (https://amzn.to/2VixgU1)
    You can see how the sushi is sectioned off into little boxes and
    the Stitched Scalloped Frame die looks very similar:

    I colored my yummy sushi with my Copic markers and then placed them

    inside the frame.  I used a fun patterned paper for a background and added

    one of the punny sentiments on to a Stitched Fishtail Banner die to finish the card off.

    I hope you enjoyed my card for today, I certainly enjoyed making it!

    Have a great day, I already am!

    Happy Mother’s Day from Kat Scrappiness!

    Hey Crafters! Priscilla here from the Kat ScrappinessDesign Team. Tomorrow is “Mother’s Day,” and I’ll be in Connecticut visiting  my 96 year old mother when this blog publishes. I wanted to share the card I made for her, which I will be hand delivering on Sunday.

    This card features Kat‘s “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment die as well as her new “Layering Nested Heart” dies. These dies are designed to fit nicely inside Kat‘s previous Heart dies, including the one you see in the photo, the Zig-Zag Heart die.

    I added three different alcohol pearl inks to some Yupo paper and blended them with alcohol ink blending solution. After the Yupo paper had thoroughly dried, I ran it through my Big Shot first to cut out the Zig-Zag heart shape, and then, using one of the “Layering Nested Hearts” dies, cut out an opening for a shaker card. I filled the inside of the heart with Kat‘s “Mixed Heart Sprinkles,” before sealing it. I also sprinkled some more of the hearts on the front of the card, which I die cut from the largest of the “Cross Stitched Rectangle” dies.

     

    For my second card, I used just a “Layering Nested Hearts” die this time to cut a heart out of a piece of washi tape-covered card stock.

     

    The four smaller hearts are also from that same “Layering Nested Hearts” die set. Again the Kat Scrappiness“Happy Mother’s Day” die sentiment makes a bold statement on the front of the card. The ruffled layer was created from a Stampin’ Up embossing folder.

     

    My third Mother’s Day card first appeared in my recent 2019 Spring | Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop post.  It features a Penny Black stamp called “Cup of Java” and Kat‘s “Happy Mother’s Day” die sentiment. Click on the link to read more about this card.

     

    Well, that’s all for today. See you again soon!

    Since I am doing all of the release posts, I will not have an individual blog post for the cards I made so I will be showing you some “close-up” of the cards.  For my first sample, I used the ZigZag Hearts with the Layering Nested Hearts dies.  I inked up this heart background with distress oxide inks.  I stamped the avocados and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir TriBlend Markers.  I also used the stitched sentiment strip dies, and some sparkling clear jewels.

     

     

    I absolutely LOVE this stamp set.  They are so cute and easy to color, and they are easy to fussy-cut.  You can also use an electronic die-cutting machine to cut them out.  I added some glossy accents to the pit and tiny little bows from a Lawn Fawn set of dies.  Also used some sparkling clear jewels to add to the tiny bows.  These images are so adorable!

     

     

     

    MARTHA GOMEZ

    Martha used the Layering Nested Hearts dies with the ZigZag Hearts die.  She used the sentiment “HELLO” from the Friendship Greetings stamp set.

     

    Such a genius and gorgeous design from Martha.  She is featuring the You Guac My World stamp set, and also used the basket from the Crafter’s Essentials Easter die set.  I love that her avocados have different shades of green.  Super cute!

     

    MEGHAN KENNIHAN

    I love this colorful card made by new DT member, Meghan featuring the Layering Nested Hearts dies with some matching sequins.  She also used the “Thank You” sentiment from the Friendship Greetings stamp set.

     

    This card is just AMAZEBALLS!   I love the rainbow-colored pits with the matching splatter on the background.  This card makes me happy because it is so cheerful!

     

    PRISCILLA JOSEPH

    Priscilla’s design on this Mother’s Day card is one of my favorites this month. She is featuring a ton of products from the shop – the Zig Zag Heart die cut in the center with a “Layering Nested Heart” die to make a shaker card opening. The heart is die-cut on Yupo paper and she used some alcohol inks.  Priscilla also used some KS “Mixed Heart Sprinkles”, with the “Happy Mother’s Day” die plus the KS Cross Stitched Rectangle Die.  Just simply brilliant!

     

    Here’s another card that I love!  She used the You Guac My World stamp set, Distress Oxide Blending onto a grid stencil.  Priscilla colored her images using her Copic markers.  The Baby “in utero” compliments of Kat’s “Cute Critters” Sprinkles .  To finish her design, she added some glossy accents and used the Mixed Flowers Sprinkles.

     

    TINA DORNBAUM

     

     

    Tina created this GORGEOUS card with the Layering Hearts die and the Scallop Hearts. She used alcohol inks for the background and used the Happy from the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment die and added the word “anniversary”. I am so in-love with this card.

    Tina distressed her background with some distress oxide inks.  She colored the avocados from the You Guac My World stamp set with some Spectrum Nour TriBlend markers and added some green jewels to finish her design.

     

     

    Which one is your favorite?  To be honest, I can’t even pick one because I LOVE THEM ALL!  My team has knocked this out of the park!

    Java Great Day By Meghan Kennihan

    Hi Crafty Friends,

    Guess what? This is my first post as an OFFICIAL member of the AMAZING Kat Scrappiness Design Team!!!! Have you joined in the Coffee Lovers Cardmaker’s Spring/Summer Blog Hop yet? Kat Scrappiness is a SUPER Sponsor and has an amazing deal for you 15% off EVERYTHING in the COFFEE category. All the items I used in my card below can be found in that category!

    Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

    Q: What is the craziest coffee or tea concoction you have ever had?

    A: Me? I’m not very adventurous so I have had Gingerbread Coffee from Trader Joe’s and it was GROSS.

    I started my card by creating the coffee bean panel with the Gina Marie Coffee Bean Stencil from the Kat Scrappiness Store. I used Tea Dye and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide Inks and blender brushes.

    I taped it down to my blue base card. Then I die cut the wonderful Scallop Heart from the blue paper that matched my base and I die cut the white heart using the NEW Layering Heart Die Set (that goes with ALL Kat Scrappiness Heart Dies).

    I colored the darling little man and mug with copic markers and foam taped him to the middle of the heart so he pops from the card. I stamped the sentiments onto a Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banner die and added the sentiments to the top and bottom of  my card.The finishing touch was the little RED Heart in the corner of the heart die and the bright blue sequins.

    Happy Mother’s Day Shaker Card

    Hi everyone!  Mother’s Day is this coming weekend, so I thought I would share a Mother’s day card I made using products from the Kat Scrappiness shop.

    I started the card by die cutting the Fancy Floral coverplate die out of pink card stock and the Happy Mother’s Day die from white glitter card stock.  I then backed the Fancy Floral coverplate with a piece of clear acetate.  On the back of this panel, I added foam tape along the edges.  I then added lots of different confetti inside the panel.  Kat Scrappiness has so many fillers to choose from when making shaker cards.  Here are the ones that I used – Fairy Dust , transparent blue solid stars, mirrored clear solid stars and hearts, and rainbow star confetti.

    I then adhered this panel with the confetti inside directly to my gray card base.  I adhered the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment to the front panel using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Crabby Coffee Card

    May 6, 2019

    Hello crafty friends, It’s Lisa here with you on the Kat Scrappiness blog today and

     I’m sharing a card using 2 stamp sets from one of the new

    vendors in the Kat Scrappiness shop!

    The Rabbit Hole Designs is a new company that has

    fun and creative stamps with a dash of quirky and sassy!

    They have a whole line of caffeinated critter stamps and today

    I am using the Caffeinated Crab on my card!

    The sentiment is from the Perfectly Blended stamp set.

    This coffee and tea themed sentiment set has the funniest

    sayings and pair so perfectly with the caffeinated critters from The Rabbit Hole!

    I got the super cute patterned paper from Michaels with crabs

    all over it and I thought it would be the perfect background for my tired crab!

    I used the Zig Zag Border dies on some kraft paper and then I made it look like

    faux sand using a technique I showed in this YouTube video:

    Faux Sand Technique 

    I also die cut some shells and gave them the same look as the sand.

    The crab patterned paper was cut out using the Zig Zag Rectangle dies

    and I layered the kraft paper on top of it.  Since I used the Zig Zag border dies,

    it layered perfectly on top. The bottom layer of my sun was cut using

    the starburst die from the Crafter’s Essentials II dies.

    The sentiment is from the Perfectly Blended stamp set by The Rabbit Hole

    and I mounted it on to a small die from the Zig Zag Rectangle dies.

    I just love these fun stamps from The Rabbit Hole and I think you will too!

    As always don’t forget to use my code LISA10 in the Kat Scrappiness 

    shop for 10% off your entire order!

    ***Don’t forget about the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop still going on until May 10th!***

    Kat Scrappiness and The Rabbit Hole Designs are both super sponsors of this

    event and if you join in and hop along there are terrific prizes being

    offered by tons of fun crafty companies!

    Thanks so much for joining me today and have a great day, I already am!
