    Love You to the Moon Card and Video

    Hey Crafters!

    Priscilla here. I’m excited to show you how I made this really special “Love” card using the Kat Scrappiness “Mandala” die along with a Hero Arts“Cloudy Moon” die that Katsells in her shop. What perfect timing! This blog is publishing the same day as the “Super Snow Moon.”

    Don’t forget: if you use my code “Priscilla10,” you’ll get 10% off these dies and anything else you choose to purchase in the Kat Scrappiness shop.

     

     

    This card is extra special in that it uses a sentimental expression many of us are familiar with — “Love You to the Moon & Back.” This Kat Scrappinessdie pairs so well with the moon and Mandala dies. In my video below, I’ll show you how I created the moon and then sponged it and the sentiment with Distress Oxide inks in shades of blue.

     

    After you watch the process video, don’t forget to scroll down towards the end of the blog, as I’ll be sharing two more cards I made with this amazing Mandala die. Enjoy!

     

    Here’s two more cards I made with the Mandala die . . .

     

    I wanted to create a masculine birthday card, and I think these color choices fit the bill. I used the Mandala die with black card stock, which I paired with pattern papers in black & white buffalo check and wood grain.

    The “Happy Birthday ” sentiment is from Kat’s die collection, as well as the “Shimmering Onyx Sequins” I added to the mandala die cut.

     

    For my final card, I backed a white Mandala  die cut with a white card stock backing, and swirled some silver thread behind it. I used a snow stencil  and some white pigment ink on the dark blue background layer and matted it on some silver glimmer paper.

     

    Once again, I used Kat’s “Happy Birthday” sentiment die on the front and finished the card with a sprinkling of Kat’s “Fuchsia Jewels”

    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.

    Hoppy Easter – Star Fusion Coverplate

    Now that Valentine’s Day is past us, I’m focusing on Easter/Spring cards.  I lean toward bright colors, so using soft colors for these types of cards is a good change for me.

    For today’s card, I’m using the new Star Fusion Coverplate from Kat Scrappiness as my focal point. I die cut it from some striped pink and while patterned paper from my stash.  I adhered this to a piece of kraft cardstock.  I sprayed the kraft cardstock with shimmer mist to give it some extra shine.

    I cut a Stitched Scalloped circle out of white cardstock and a piece of green patterned paper.  I then cut the green piece with one of the Fancy Scalloped border dies.  I adhered the two pieces together and popped it up on the right side of the card with dimensional adhesive.  I then cut of the portion that was hanging off the card.  I colored the cute little rabbit and carrot from the Lawn Fawn Hoppy Easter set with Copic markets and adhered it the the scalloped circle with Nuvo adhesive.

    For the sentiment piece, I used one of the Stitched Sentiment dies.  I heat embossed my sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Hoppy Easter set using white embossing power and adhered it to the card using dimensional adhesive.

    Medallion Coverplate by Martha Lucia

    Hi there! Martha Lucia here with you today to share two creations that I realized using the beautiful Medallion Coverplate.

    Medallion Coverplate by Martha Lucia

    I love to use this type of designs with brilliant colors but can you believe that I always start with whisper white card stock and this card is not different. I just cut the Medallion coverplate in white and then inked the design directly with the ink pads of five colors of Dye Ink. I let the piece dry naturally but as I always said, if you want to speed the process just use your heat tool.

    I pasted the inked Medallion coverplate over the whisper white card base using double sided foam tape. Then in a separate piece of whisper white card stock I stamped a sentiment included on the stamp set God’s Promises from Joy Clair  and die cut it with one of the circles from the cross stitched circle dies from Gina Marie Designs. I pasted this piece with double sided foam tape to keep the dimension.

    My second card is more conservative but I decided to use the Medallion Coverplate in a different way. I used whisper white card stock to cut the Medallion coverplate and then with my paper trimmer I cut the Medallion in half. I pasted each part, having the borders on the center over a green layer of card stock using double sided foam tape. Then I pasted the decorated layer over the whisper white card base.

    To decorate the card, I cut one heart included on the Build a Stocking Dies and splatter it with Gold Orange Glimmer Mist. I pasted the hear with double sided foam tape on the center of the card and finalized the decoration with a tiny sentiment that I cut using the Stitched Sentiment Strips Dies.

    Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans, it’s Lisa here with you today

    and I have a card I’d like to share with you using one of the newest dies in the store!

    It’s called the Mandala die and it cuts a beautiful intricate pattern

    into your project. Today I’ve used a water coloring technique called ink smooshing

    (yes it’s a thing)?

    I used 3 different color distress inks:

    Salty Ocean

    Peacock Feathers

    and

    Lucky Clover

    This technique is easy and fun to do and you can get beautiful

    results every time! There are so many color combinations you

    could use depending on your favorite colors.

    Here is a video I made to show you the ink smooshing technique.

    You can watch it here or on YouTube.

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dPHZ6Q0wlU]

     

    Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope you’ll give this technique a try! It’s lots of fun and it looks beautiful with minimal effort.  Don’t forget to use my code Lisa10 to save 10% on your order anytime!

    Have a great day, I already am!

    Crafting Valentine’s Day Cards with the Kat Scrappiness “Star Fusion” Coverplate Die

    February 11, 2019

    2 Comments

    Hi Guys! I’m back today to showcase both some fun Valentine Day cards AND the new Kat Scrappiness “Star Fusion Coverplate” die. Sit back with a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) and enjoy!

    Without a doubt, the “Star Fusion” die creates a gorgeous background. It can be used two ways — die cut or dry embossed. I’ll be showing you cards today using both techniques.

    Here’s a look at the die with a sample piece of card stock after I ran it through my Big Shot machine with embossing pads, to avoid having the die cut through the paper.

    Isn’t this beautiful? This piece of card stock will actually be the background of my first card. Let’s get started!

    My truck, which is part of the Honey Bee’s stamp and die set called “LittlePickup,” is making a “Special Delivery” (sentiment is also Honey Bee) of Kat Scrappiness“Red Heart Droplets.” Here’s the Copic colors I used on the truck:

     

    For my next Valentine card, I wanted to create a “sidewalk easel” greeting on the front.

    This time I die cut the “Star Fusion Coverplate” die instead of embossing it and then backed it with white card stock. I created the easel frame by cutting pieces from a Kat Scrappiness “Cross Stitched Rectangle Frame” die cut.

    I used Poppy Stamp’s “Doodle Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment die on the “chalkboard,” smudged white pigment ink around the edges, and added a red heart die cut to finish this card.

     

    For my third card, I again backed the “Star Fusion Coverplate” die cut with white card stock.

    This card features Kat’s “Layered Chocolate Bar”stamp set. I stamped this “non-traditional chocolate bar” with two shades of Vera Clairinks in “Glamorous” and “Charming Pink,” before adding white pigment ink to create the shading on the top of the  chocolate. I used three different brown shades for the wrapper. The fun patterned paper that borders the card, along with the adorable sloth, are from the Pebbles “Loves Me” paper padandcoordinating ephemera die cuts. The sentiments on the card and  envelope are also part of Kat’s “Chocolate Bar” collection.

    Pink hearts from Kat‘s “Heart Sprinkles Embellishment Mix” has our sloth dreaming of love (and chocolate). LOL!

     

    My fourth card has a more “romantic” look to it . . .

    Similar to my  first card with the pick-up truck, I used the “Star Fusion Coverplate”die to create a dry embossed background that would be a soft backdrop for the “Floral Heart” wreath and dieby Neat & Tangled. I embossed the wreath and the coordinating sentiment with gold embossing powder and then colored the image with Zig “Clean Color Real Brush Markers.” I added a fuchsia colored ribbon behind the wreath and a strip of papered paper from the Authentique“Romance” paper pad on the left side.

    Sequins scattered on the wreath from Kat’s “Sweetheart Valentine Sequin Mix”were the finishing touch.

     

    My fifth and final card was a “Just for Fun” Valentine, with the “StarFusion” die cut just peaking out on the right hand side of the card this time.

    I used the Pebbles“Loves Me” paper collectionagain, pulling in sentiments from the Kat Scrappiness“Say It With Hearts”stamp set.

    A few of Kat’s “Red Heart Droplets” are drifting from our “Diva Llama’s” heart. And did you catch that she’s  wearing diamonds???

     

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