    Happy Easter with the Kat Scrappiness “Zig-Zag” Dies

    Hey Crafters! Priscilla here with three fun Easter cards using Kat’s “Zig-Zag” dies and some Echo Park 6 x 6  Easter patterned papers.

    My first card was really fun to create! I used the Lawn Fawn“How You Bean” stamp set and the “Shaker Add-on” dies to create a jar full of Kat‘s Easter sequins.

     

    I watched this Lawn FawnYouTube video to help me create the shaker jar . . . it was really simple to do. I used one of Kat‘s square “Zig-Zag” dies to create an opening in the center of some pink plaid paper from the Echo Park “Easter Wishes” paper pad and then foam mounted it onto an A2 card base. I used a “Bead Board” embossing folder to give some texture to the white card stock behind the jar. The “happy easter” line border die is also from Lawn Fawn. The fun part was filling the jar! I used a mixture of Kat‘s “Easter Egg Hunt,” “Chicken or the Egg,” and “Easter Egg Parade” sequin mixes.

     

    My second card features the “Painting Eggs Riley” cling stamp.

     

    I used four of  Kat’s dies on this card — the largest of her “Cross Stitched Rectangle” dies, two of the Zig-Zag Rectangle dies, and the “Brush Script Happy Easter” word die. The die sentiment and “Riley” the moose were both Copic colored. The pink gingham paper is from the Echo Park “Easter Wishes” paper pad. To finish off this card, I used Kat’s “Easter Egg Parade” sequin mix and also her “Mixed Flowers Sprinkles.”

     

    My third and final card features Kat’s “Brush Script Happy Easter” word die cut from a daisy paper found in the Echo Park “Easter Wishes” paper pad. I mounted it on a background created with a dotted Swiss embossing folder.

     

    Above the die sentiment, both the yellow gingham and daisy papers were edged with Kat‘s “Zig-Zag Border Dies.” The finishing touches for this card were the chicks and eggs from the “Chicken or the Egg” sequin mix.

     

    Here’s all three Easter cards . . . .

     

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

    Some Bunny Loves You Guest Designer Meghan Kennihan

    Hi Crafty Friends,

    This is my second post for Kat Scrappiness as their Guest Designer this month. I am once again using the awesome Kat Scrappiness Crafters Essentials Easter Edition die set that was released in March. This time I added some of the fun stamps that Kat Scrappiness carries too! If you missed my first card, head HERE. This once is super simple so let’s get to my Make Crafty Friends Q & A and then we can see my creation!

    Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

    Q: What is your favorite Easter memory?

    A: Me? Our last Easter with my Grandpa. I don’t remember him too well, he died when I was in 3rd grade but one year he and my grandma came to visit us over Easter. We all got dressed up and went to church then had a fabulous brunch downtown Chicago where they had BUTTER sculptures!

    Here the picture on top of the Sears Tower that day, isn’t he handsome? My Grandma is still alive and will be 97 in June!

    I die cut the bunnies out of three pastel patterned papers. I colored up the bunnies from the Newton’s Nook Bitty Bunnies Set found in the Kat Scrappiness Store to match the die cut bunnies.

    I taped all the bunnies down and used foam tape to pop the colored images up. Then I added the little cotton tails and doodled around the edges of my card. I finished my card with a sweet pun sentiment.

    Easter Chicks with Guest Designer Meghan Kennihan

    Hi Crafty Friends,

    I am BEYOND EXCITED to be Guest Designing for Kat Scrappiness this month. It is one of my FAVORITE companies. They not only carry amazing products but have a fabulous facebook group and monthly challenges. Kat Scrappiness released some amazing Easter die sets in March and they are perfect for quick and fun Easter cards, no coloring necessary. For my first card, I decided to go with diecuts only. I will walk you through my process after you answer my Make Crafty Friends Q & A that I include in every blog post so we can all be friends!

    Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

    Q: Have you ever held a baby chick? Do you own chickens?

    A: Me? My aunt lives on a farm so every summer I got to hold a million baby chicks. It was soooo much fun to visit her and collect the eggs although I was terrified of the roosters :). I wish I could own chickens, it would save me a lot of money on eggs.I started my card by inking the edges of my yellow plaid panel. Then I diecut the grass hills from the Kat Scrappiness He Has Risen Set out of three different patterned green papers and taped the grassy hills on my plaid panel.

    Next, I diecut the chick and egg shells from the Kat Scrappiness Crafter’s Essentials Easter Edition Dies. Again, I inked the edges to make them pop from the panel. I also used the clouds from the He has Risen set to create a spring weather background.

    I finished my card by taping all my dies onto the panel. Then I added the Happy Easter Sentiment, the eyes and little cheeks on the chicks, and the tails of the butterflies.

    Basket Full of Eggs – Happy Easter

    Hi everyone!  I think I’m finally finished with my Easter cards.  The products released this month from Kat Scrappiness has really made it easy and fun to come up with several types of Easter cards.

    Today, I’m sharing a card that uses the cute basket from Crafters Essentials:  Easter die set and a fun sequin set – Easter Egg Parade.  I started by die cutting the basket out of kraft card stock, the Stitched Fishtail Banner out of yellow card stock, Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die from white card stock, and the Mini Easter Eggs from various pastel card stock.

    I adhered the basket to the white panel ensuring that I didn’t glue down the bottom opening of the basket so that I could slip my eggs in there.  I arranged the eggs like I wanted them and then adhered them in the basket.  I added some yellow, blue, and pink sequins to the bottom and top of the basket.

    For my sentiment, I white heat embossed Happy Easter onto the yellow banner and used dimensional adhesive to add it to the white panel.  I covered the front of the card panel with a purple piece of paper from Gotta Have Gingham and used dimensional adhesive to add the white panel to the card base.

    He Is Risen Eclipse Card and Video

    Welcome back to the blog Kat Scrappiness fans, it’s Lisa here with you today!

     I have a fun Eclipse card to share with you and a video

    to go along with it to show you exactly how I made it!

    I have 2 guests in my video today…..

    My cat Poppers who refused to get off of my desk for the video

    so I let her stay, excuse the cat hair….

    My second guest is my daughter Taylor who took over for my

    voiceover about half way through the video.

    I was frustrated and tired and she knows so much about

    card making she agreed to help me out!

    She has a great sense of humor, I love her take on card making!

    Now on to the card.

    This card measures 4″ x 4″ and features the eclipse technique.

    I started out with a panel cut from the Square Zig Zag dies to stamp on.

    I stamped those lovely pastel brush strokes from the

    Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set and then I used the He Is Risen

    trio of crosses die to cut out a focal point.

    I also cut that beautiful trio of crosses out 4 more times in

    aqua card stock to layer under the stamped die cut.

    Once I layered the “built up” trio of crosses back on to the panel,

    they really stood in a very subtle way giving that classic

    eclipse look to the card.

    Sparkling Clear Jewels gave a nice finishing touch to this card!

    It’s much easier to understand in a video so you can check out

    my video here or on YouTube.

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfS-LdV0zgs]

    I hope you have enjoyed today’s card and I hope it inspires you

    to make your own eclipse card!  Also please consider joining us over at our

    monthly challenge, this month the theme is “Pastel”.

    Easter Die Cuts Inspiration

    Hello Crafty friends, Martha Lucia here to share with you some inspiration using the recently released Crafters Essentials – Easter Edition Dies. Today I have a set of projects created with the Easter Die Cuts and more from Kat Scrappiness Store.  This is the perfect season to create sweet projects and I found many things in this store to share with you. Let me start with these baskets for candies.

    Easter Die Cuts Inspiration

    To create these baskets I used the basked die included on the new Crafters Essentials- Easter Edition Dies. It is a complete set of die cuts full of easter dies that you can also use for another occasions.

    I cut twice the basket and connected on the center with a strip of card stock. The card stock size is 1-1/4″x4-1/4 and I made score in 1-1/4 from each border. Over the base of this I added the chocolate that I want to share. I used round chocolates but you can use any other form and size.

    Easter Die Cuts Inspiration

    I decorated the baskets with different elements included on the Crafters Essentials Easter Edition. For one I used the big butterfly and for the other the rabbit. I decorated the rabbit with the white pom poms – Bunny Tails also available at the store.  For both baskets, I use the tiny bow included on the Crafters Essentials Easter Edition.

    Easter Die Cuts Inspiration

    My next project is a card that I made using the Butterfly Backdrop Die from Kat Scrappiness. It is a fantastic cover plate die that I used on the simple way. I just created the base of my card using Whisper White card stock and cut the second layer using the same color and a little small from the base.

    Easter Die Cuts Inspiration

    I inked the central area of the second layer using distress ink and after that, I cut the Butterfly Backdrop Die. I keep all the negative butterflies to use them in another project. Then I stamped a sentiment..(please keep me the secret but the sentiment is a sneak peak of a new stamp set) … using VersaFine Clair Nocturne and pasted the decorated layer with double sided foam tape.

    Easter Die Cuts Inspiration

    As final touch I pasted some new AB Butterfly Confetti that have the particularity of change the color as you can noticed on the above photos.

    Easter Die Cuts Inspiration

    My last project is an Easter card that I made using the new He is Risen Dies by Kat Scrappiness too.  This is a complete set of dies that you can use for many religious celebrations or any other occasions. The base of my card is Blue Balmy and I cut a second layer using Very Vanilla card stock. I created a distressed background with this layer, just making some score lines and sponging with Soft Suede  Classic Ink.

    Easter Die Cuts Inspiration

    I cut from the inked layer one of the Zig Zag Oval Dies and using the inlaid technique I replaced the oval with a new clean oval that I paste with double sided foam tape.  I decorated the oval, using the three crosses and the grass border included on the He is Risen Dies.

    To finalize the decoration I cut the two clouds included on the He is Risen Die set and sponged them with a Balmy Blue ink. I stamped the Jesus spine crown from the My Redeemer stamp set and the sentiment from the Light Bulb Moment stamp set, both from Joy Clair Stamps.  As final touch I added some splatters of Glimmer Mist Dragonfly and some drops of Nuvo Morning Dew.
