    EGG-stra Awesome Tag

    Welcome back to the blog Kat Scrappiness fans!

    Today I have a quick and easy tag for you using the adorable

    little chick from the Crafter’s Essentials Easter Dies.

    To start with I blended 3 different ink colors on to some

    card stock and cut out a Stitched Scalloped Nesting Tag Die for the base.

    I used a sentiment from the So Egg-citing stamp set from

    Your Next Stamp and I stamped it in Lawn Fawn Forget Me Not ink.

    After the stamping was done I embossed the tag with a

    polka dot embossing folder.

    Next I did some ink blending with Squeezed Lemonade 

    Distress Ink on white card stock and die cut the chick out of it.

    I applied some Spiced Marmalade ink to the beak and feet of the

    baby chick. I also cut out the cracked egg from white card stock

    and glued the top half over the chick’s head.

    I applied foam tape to the chick and adhered it to the bottom of

    the tag on top of the bottom of the egg.

    Every pretty tag needs some pretty ribbon so I made a bow

    out of 3 different color ribbons to match the tag

    and finished it off with a big blue button.

    Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed

    my quick and easy tag!

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

    April 11, 2019

    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!

    The supplies I used are listed and linked below.  Please don’t forget to use my coupon code “Priscilla10” for 10% off your order at the shop.

    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.

    Thank you so much for checking out my blog. 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!

    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.
