You Mean So Much To Me Using Friendship Greetings

April 28, 2019

Leave a comment

Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. I have a simple yet elegant card to share with you today using the Friendship Greetings Stamp Set. Below are 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 vertical side fold card. (A2)

Step 2 – Stamp Friendship Greetings image on White Cardstock using Gina K Amalgam Ink. This is an alcohol friendly ink. Color in with any alcohol markers of your choice. I used the TriBlends from Spectrum Noir. Fussy cut the image or use the Scan ‘N’ Cut. Adhere to card using Foam Tape.

Step 3 – Stamp Friendship Greetings sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink for Hello and Versafine Morning Mist for You Mean So Much To Me.

Step 4 – For added interest and sparkle use a Crystal Katana to randomly adhere White Jewels with collage medium.

This card can be used for any occasion by changing the sentiment. Below is a link to all the products used. To receive 10% off your next order at Kat Scrappiness use code: TINA10 at checkout. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

At the end of the video I’ll show you two other cards I made using the same stamp set and technique. Here are some close up shots:

I used Distress inks in “Broken China: and “Faded Jeans” on this card.

I used “Mowed Lawn” and “Peeled Paint” on this card.

I used “Fired Brick” and “Peeled Paint” on this card.

This flower stamp looks great on the insides of the cards also!

Whoooo… is Having A Birthday & Sunshine Chameleon By Guest Designer Meghan Kennihan

Hi Crafty Friends,

This is my LAST post as a Guest Designer for Kat Scrappiness, but I’m sure I’ll be back soon if they will have me! I really enjoyed my time this month because I ADORE Kathleen and Kat Scrappiness products. They are the best group of ladies and the store amazing with all the unique products they carry! I made two cards for my last day. The first one is a fun birthday card using the new release die sets from this month! They make fun backgrounds so easy to make!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

Q: Have you ever seen an owl in the wilderness? Not a zoo….

A: Me? No…. sadly I have not, I have heard them but never seen on except in a zoo

I started my card with the blue panel using the Stitched Cloud Backdrop die. Then I die cut the Wood Grain Frame and inked it with brown distress oxide to make the wood grain stand out!

I assembled the scene, adding these darling owls from Gerda Designs that are carried in the Kat Scrappiness Store!And of course the cute little pun sentiment!

Supplies:

Kat Scrappiness Stitched Cloud Panel Die

Kat Scrappiness Wood Grain Frame Die

Kat Scrappiness Gerda Designs Owl Rather Be With You

For my second card, I had a little fun with the Lawn Fawn One In A Chameleon set that is in the store. Who doesn’t love sunshine? And this Chameleon has made himself yellow to shine bright just like the sun!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

Q: What is the worst sunburn you have ever gotten?

A: Me? I did a 100 mile bike ride in a tank top and I missed the middle of my back with the lotion… I got 2nd degree burns and I still have a freckle sports bra shaped outline on my back!

I started this card with the blue panel stamping the little chameleon in darker blue all over. I taped it down to my yellow base then I took a few different ribbons and taped them down as the sunshine rays.

Next, I die cut the “sun” circle using the Kat Scrappiness Distressed Edge Circle and inked the edges in orange. I also die cut the clouds from the Kat Scrappiness He Has Risen die set and inked the edges in blue.

I finished my card by using foam tape to pop up the clouds and sun. Then stamping the fun sentiment on the clouds!

Thank you so much for having me! I would love if you would stop by my blog here, please take a moment to comment and follow so you can answer all the Make Crafty Friends Q & As and follow me on Instagram here!

Friendship Greetings

Hope everyone had a great Easter, we are well into spring here in Oklahoma now! Hopefully, it lasts more than a week.

Today, I’m sharing a card I created using the new Friendship Greetings stamp set along with some other products from the Kat Scrappiness shop.

I stamped and colored the large flower cluster from the Friendship Greetings stamp set with Copic markers. I then covered the flowers with a Spectrum Noir clear overlay marker. I added a drop of yellow Nuvo drops to the center of the largest flowers and pink Nuvo drops to the berries. I die cut a piece of purple card stock using the Mandala Frame die and backed the openings with pink card stock.

I used a sentiment from the Friendship Greetings stamp set and heat embossed it with white embossing powder on a Stitched Fishtail banner die that I die cut from green card stock. I die cut an additional Stitched Fishtail banner in white card stock, cut it in half, and added it to the back of the green banner allowing the white banner to show on the ends.

I adhered the flowers and sentiment banner to the mandala frame using foam adhesive. I added this panel to my white card base and cut tiny strips of green card stock and adhered those to the sides of the mandala frame. To finish off the card, I added three clear droplets around the flower.

Zig Zag Borders by Martha Lucia

April 20, 2019

Hi there! Martha Lucia here with you!

Today I am back with the Zig Zag Border Dies Inspiration. Since yesterday all the products at Kat Scrappiness store are 15% or 30% OFF and I decided to give you some inspiration with these fabulous borders and some other products that are available now.

The main product that I use to create my cards are the Zig Zag Borders. They are very attractive and easy to use. Let me share with you the first card:

To make this card, I used the stamp set Friendship Greetings, recently released. I stamped several times the sentiment with different colors of VersaFine Clair and embossed them with clear embossing powder. On the middle of the sentiments, I stamped one of the branches included on the Friendship Greetings stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Ink and colored the flowers with Alcohol Markers. Then I cut the left side with the wave form of the Zig Zag Borders.

The base of my card is basic black cardstock and I pasted a piece of designer paper over the left side of the card. Then, I pasted the stamped whisper white layer with double sided foam tape and finalized the decoration adding some tiny stars from the Pastel Girl Star Sprinkles Collection.

My second card was realized all in whisper white card stock. And I combined the Zig Zag Border with some dies included on the Crafters Essentials Easter Edition.

I cut the decorated layer using the angle zig zag border. To make this, I applied classic ink around the piece with a sponge dauber combining tree colors, Pear Pizzaz, Highland Heather and Petal Pink. Then, I stamped the sentiments from Friendship Greetings stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and made some tiny dots with a Fineliner Gray pen from Arteza.

I cut in whisper white cardstock the special details from the Crafters Essential Easter Edition and as final touch I sprayed the inked layer and the Easter Die cuts with Sparkle Sheer Shimmer to add the shiny touch.

On my last card, I used the curve zig zag border over a piece of whisper white cardstock. Over that piece, I stamped with Versafine Clair Blue Belle and clear embossing powder, two images from the stamp set Mega Greetings from Altenew, available at Kat Scrappiness Store.

After paste the stamped layer over the card base with double sided foam tape, I added some tiny stars form the Superhero Star Sprinkles Collection.

Thank you for stopping by and joining me my zig zag border dies inspiration and happy Easter!
