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.

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

April 4, 2019

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Easter Shaker Notecards

March 30, 2019

Hello Kat Scrappiness fans and welcome back to the blog!

It’s Lisa here with you today and I have a fun trio of shaker notecards

to share with you using the newly released Easter edition of the

Crafter’s Essentials dies. This is a fun set that features several different dies

perfect for Easter and Spring themed cards!

Here is a picture of all the dies that come with this set:

I used the bunny, chick and cracked egg to make 3 adorable shaker notecards.

The Kat Scrappiness Easter themed sequin mixes and Doodlebug patterned paper

were the perfect accessories for these cards!

The first card was made using the bunny die from the set.

I cut a card base out of card stock measuring 4″ x 8 ” and scored it at 4″.

I used a piece of patterned paper from the Hoppy Easter paper pack

cut to 4″ x 4″ to cover the card base.

I then took a piece of white card stock and cut out a panel

with the second largest Square Zig Zag die.

I placed the bunny die in the center of that Zig Zag square

and ran it through my Vagabond.

That left the negative shape of the bunny in the panel which I then

backed with acetate to form my shaker window.

To make the foam tape curve around the back of the bunny

I snipped small lines half way into the tape so that it would bend

easily and not warp the paper.

For the bunny shaker I used 3 different sequin mixes:

Pink 3 mm Solid Star confetti mix

Yellow 3 mm Solid Star confetti mix

3 mm Mirrored Clear Hollow Stars

It’s so much fun to see the mix of sequins and confetti shaking around.

For the sentiment I stamped on a Stitched Flag Die and used the same

patterned paper to back it with a larger Flag die.

I also decorated the flag with a few stars from the shaker mix.

Next up is the chick card. The basic assembly of the card is just

like the bunny card except I used different patterned paper and sequins.

The patterned paper is also from the Doodlebug Hoppy Easter paper pack

and the sequin mix is called Chicken or the Egg?

I just love the little yellow chick that’s included in this mix!

I tucked one of them behind the sentiment flag.

The last card I have to share with you is the cracked egg card.

Again the basic assembly is as explained in the bunny card above.

The patterned paper for this card is from the Doodlebug Simply Spring paper pack

and the sequin mix is called Easter Egg Parade!

The tiny die cut Easter eggs in this mix are just too cute!

These cards were so much fun to make! You can really get creative with the

patterned papers and different sequin mixes, there’s so many fun combinations!

All of the linked products can be found at Kat Scrappiness.

Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. Today I have a card to share using the new Butterfly Backdrop. It creates a beautiful stream of butterlies and I instantly knew it would translate into a sympathy card. 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 vertical side fold card. (A2)

Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. Apply Distress Oxide Inks with the Life Changing Brushes to the White Cardstock. Working with the darkest to the lightest color leaving a white border at the bottom. Spritz some water and wait 30 seconds then place a scott towel to pick up the excess.

Step 3 – Diecut Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles Die using the Background from Step 2. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 4 – Trim White Cardstock to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. Apply Distress Oxide Inks to the center using the lightest shade used from Step 2. Apply Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz. Let dry.

Step 5 – Diecut Butterfly Backdrop using the background created from Step 4. To place the diecut butterflies in the same order onto your card front use the negative part as a template. Apply Nuvo Deluxe adhesive in the space where the butterflies will go. Now take each diecut butterfly and adhere to card. Once finished remove the negative diecut. You can save the negative diecut for another card.

Step 6 – Stamp sentiment in ink of your preference.

Butterflies Everywhere!

March 28, 2019

Hey Crafters! Priscilla here! Welcome back to my third blog post this month for Kat Scrappiness. Today I have four cards for you, all spotlighting Kat‘s new “Butterfly Backdrop” Coverplate die.

This die covers the entire front of an A2 size card!

There are so many ways to use this versatile die — with the butterfly openings as pictured above, with the cut out butterflies inserted back into their openings, dry embossed so the butterflies appear raised, or simply using the die cut butterflies alone on a card.

For my first card, I dry embossed the butterfly die on white card stock, and then sponged a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks over them.

I applied a thin layer of “Glossy Accents” over the butterflies and let them dry. Meanwhile, I used the die with black glimmer card stock and adhered it over the dry embossed layer. I love how the raised butterflies glow through the openings!

I finished the card with Kat‘s “Hello Brush Script Word & Sentiment Die” cut out of rainbow patterned paper, and then sprinkled her new “Rainbow Wheel Sprinkles Embellishment Mix” around the front of the card.

For my second card, I created a springtime theme card with the “Butterfly Backdrop Die” cut out of blue gingham paper from the Echo Park“Spring Fling” 6×6 paper pad. The pink layer underneath it is also from the same paper pad.

I used the largest die cut butterfly, cut from a polka dot patterned paper from Echo Park‘s “Easter Wishes” 6×6 paper pad, as an embellishment over the “Happy Spring” sentiment. Kat’s “Mixed Flower Sprinkles Embellishment Mix” and “Sparkling Clear Droplets” provided the finishing touches.

My third card is a a sympathy card. I used the same die cutting method as the spring card above, except this time I first die cut the top cream layer with the “Butterfly Backdrop Die” and then dry embossed it with Kat‘s “Wood Grain Framed Diamond Wire Die.”

I used some black script patterned paper from my stash for the underlay and for the 3D butterfly embellishments. Kat‘s “Sorry Brush Script Word & Sentiment Die” was cut from black glimmer paper and some of her “Shimmering Onyx Sequin Mix” accented the two butterflies.

For my fourth and final card, I created a masculine card using a wood-patterned paper from the ModaScrap “Wood Effect Paper Pack.”

I used the same die-cutting methods that I did for the spring and sympathy cards. A solid mint green card stock served as the under layer to make the butterflies “pop off the page.”

I die cut the “Hello Brush Script Word & Sentiment Die” out of a wood textured paper and mounted it on a “Stitched Sentiment Strip Die” cut from the same mint green card stock. Kat’s “Brown Jewels” were the final touch to the butterfly’s body, with a few more scattered on the front of the card.

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