    Here are the samples made by the design team.

     

    CAREN BATHOLOMEW

     

    Caren used the Star Fusion coverplate die to die-cut the blue glittered card stock and adhered this piece on her card base.  She also adhered another pink card stock behind the die-cut.  She added two hearts to finish the design and stamped her sentiments.  What a cute Valentine’s Day card.

     

    LISA GOLZBEIN

     

     

    Lisa die-cut the star fusion die on some blue card stock and adhered it on a kraft card base.  She also used the Lola The Giraffe stamp set from the shop and stamped her sentiment using the Stiched Sentiment strip die.  What a cute card!

     

    MARIA RUSSELL

     

    I die-cut the Star Fusion Coverplate die with some white card stock and adhered this piece on some white card base.  I have been loving the clean white-on-white look lately.  I die-cut the flowers and the branches using some dies that I have from my stash and colored the branches with some Copic markers.  I stamped the flowers with some lawn fawn inks to give it some dimension and adhered and layered these pieces on my card.  I die-cut the script sentiment “Thanks” on some black card stock and vellum using the Paper Rose dies.  I also added some Sparkling Clear Jewels to finish my design.  Clean and simple!  Here’s a closer look:

     

     

    MARTHA GOMEZ

    TINA GUIGUI DORNBAUM

     

    Tina created this heavenly card using a lot of products from the shop.  She inked up her background with some distress oxide inks and used a clouds stencil die.  She die-cut a yellow piece of card stock using the Star Fusion Coverplate and used her distress oxide to add more texture and color.  She used the Lacy Layered Heart Die to die-cut the window and adhered this piece on her card base.  She stamped and colored the flowers and vase using the Happy Fall Y’All stamp set.  To finish her design, she stamped her sentiment using the Stitched Sentiment Strip dies and adhered some jewels to her card.  What a beautiful card, Tina!

     

     

    For Tina’s second card, she inked up her background again with some distress oxide inks and adhered this piece on her card base.  She die-cut some white card stock using the Star Fusion Coverplate.  She stamped some coffee images from a Lawn Fawn stamp set and colored it with alcohol markers.  Added the sentiment “You’re The Cream to my Coffee” and some Pink Jewels to finish her design. Another beautiful card, Tina!

    Mandala Die – Happy Valentine’s Day

    Have you been keeping up with the February release?  Today is the grand finale!  Be sure to check out all the beautiful dies that were released this week.

    For today’s card, I’m using the new Mandala die from Kat Scrappiness.  I love all the new dies buy I think this one is my favorite!

    I die cut the Mandala die four times out of some white card stock.  I then found a perfect sized circle from Kat Scrappiness’ Never Ending circle dies to back the Mandala die.  I cut the circle die out of purple card stock.  I then sponged a little bit of Dusty Concord distress ink into the center of each purple circle.  I adhered the white Mandala die cuts to the purple circles and adhered them to my card base.

    For the sentiment, I used one of the Stitched Sentiment dies.  I heat embossed my sentiment using white embossing power.  I then sponged on Dusty Concord distress ink.  I adhered it to my card using foam adhesive, then added some Lilac jewels to finish off the card.

    Here are a couple of other cards I created for the Mandala die release:

    Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans!  Are you ready for Day 2 of the February reveals?  For our projects today the design team is showcasing the Mandala Die with the Mandala Frame.  These dies will either go perfectly well together, layered or used on its own.   We also have a giveaway everyday during the release so scroll down at the end of the blog post to find out how you can WIN these dies.

     

    Mandala Die

     

    Mandala Frame

     

    Here are some samples created by the design team:

     

    CAREN BARTHOLOMEW

     

    Caren inked up the background with some distress oxide inks and die cut another piece of some white card stock using the Mandala die.  She adhered this piece on top of her inked background and stamped her sentiment using the same ink for a seamless look. Simple and elegant!

     

    In this card, Caren used the Mandala die as a stencil and inked up the card stock with some distress oxide inks.  She finished her design by adding the sentiment script  “Hello Friend” from the shop.

     

    LISA GOLZBEIN

     

     

    Lisa had cut the Mandala Frame with a light blue card stock.  She die-cut the Mandala die using some white card stock and adhered both on her card base.  She colored a cute critter and used the Hello from the “Hello My Crafty Friend” sentiment script die.  How adorable is this card?

     

     

    For Lisa’s second project, she used both the Mandala Frame and Mandala dies again and added the coffee cup image from the Let’s Get Caffeinated stamp set.  She also used some Brown Jewels to finish her design.

     

     

    For Lisa’s third card, she created a square card using the Mandala die and adhered the “love” sentiment using the I Love You Shadow dies, just released last month.

     

    MARIA RUSSELL

     

    I used the Mandala die as a decorative background for my card.  Even though it is not the focal point, the die-cut pieces really stood out on this card.  I die-cut the Mandala die twice with some white card stock and adhered them onto a light beige card base.  I stamped the flowers with different lawn fawn inks available at the shop and die cut using the coordinating dies.  I heat-embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and die-cut the globe using the dies.  The stamp set I used is called Globe Greetings from Concord & 9th.  I finished my design by adding some Pink Sparkling Jewels from the shop.  Here’s a closer look:

     

     

    I die-cut the Mandala frame on some white card stock and adhered this piece on a blue card base.  I stamped my celestial background on another piece of Neenah solar white card stock with some Lawn Fawn inks and die-cut this piece using the Cross Stitched Circle frame die.  I adhered this piece in the middle of the Mandala frame and finished my design by adding my critters and Sparkling clear jewels from the shop.  I didn’t think this card needed a sentiment in the front.  Here’s a closer look:

     

     

    MARTHA GOMEZ

     

    Martha created this beautiful card using both the Mandala Die and the Mandala Frame.  She inked up her background using distress oxide inks.  She die-cut the Mandala Frame from some white card stock and adhered this piece on her inked background.  Martha inked up another piece of card stock and die-cut this piece with the Mandala die.  She adhered this piece on her card.  She finished her design by stamping her sentiment on the Stitched Sentiment Strip die.  What a beautiful card, Martha!

     

    PRISCILLA JOSEPH

     

     

    Priscilla had die-cut the Mandala die and used another die from Papertrey Ink to make it look like the moon.  This card is so beautiful and unique!  She also used the “Love You to the Moon and Back” sentiment strip die and finished her design with some sequin mixes from the shop.  Here’s a closer look:

     

     

     

    Priscilla created two birthday-themed card for her second and third project using the Mandala Frame die and Mandala die.  She also used the Happy Birthday script sentiment die with some Superhero Star Sprinkles Embellishment to finish the card design.   Priscilla, you outdid yourself this month with all of your projects!  Wow!

     

     

    TINA GUIGUI DORNBAUM

     

     

    Tina created this beautiful and elegant card by coloring some Yupo paper with alcohol inks and die cut the same with the Mandala frame die.  She adhered this piece on a white card base and die cut the Mandala frame die with white card stock.  She finished the design by adding her sentiment using the stitched sentiment strip die.

    Medallion Coverplate Card

    February 5, 2019

    Happy Tuesday Kat Scrappiness fans!
    It’s Lisa here on the blog today and I’ve got a new card to share with you!
    Today is a special day on the blog because it is day 1 of of the New Releases
    and not only are we releasing some fabulous new dies
    but there is a GIVEAWAY as well!
    The newest die in our collection being released today is called the
    This intricate die will quickly become a favorite of yours and I’ve
    done some watercoloring with gold accents using this new die.
    Here is the card I made and I will walk you through the process I used to make it.
    Step 1:  First I took Salty Ocean and Lucky Clover Distress Ink and I “smooshed” them
    down onto my Tim Holtz glass media mat and then sprayed them with water.
     Next I cut a piece of watercolor paper down just slightly larger than the
    Medallion Coverplate die and laid it into the ink, moving it around to
    spread the ink all over the paper.  I dried it with my heat gun and
    then pressed it down again into the ink to cover the paper.
    Step 2: Once I was happy with the background pattern I did some ink splattering
    with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors in gold all over the background with a
    large fan brush. It added a really nice shine to the panel!
    Step 3: When the entire panel was dry I took it over to my die cut machine and
    used the Medallion Coverplate die to cut it out.
    Step 4: Because the die is so intricate I used Elmer’s spray adhesive to mist
    the back of the panel so I could adhere it to my white card front. This technique
    works very well on dies with lots of intricate cuts.
    Step 5: Now that the panel was done and adhered to the card, the final step
    was to stamp the sentiment.  I stamped an older Happy Birthday stamp from
    my stash on to some vellum with Delicata Gold Ink and heat embossed it with
    I cut out the sentiment with the smallest die from the Double Stitched Circles Dies.
    Step 6: I added the vellum circle to the middle of the Medallion Coverplate panel
    with some liquid adhesive making sure to only get the glue behind the letters so
    it wouldn’t show through.
    I really love how the watercoloring came out so randomly all over the coverplate and the
    gold paint gives it a very elegant look!
    I hope you enjoyed seeing the process I used to make this card!
    Thank you so much for joining me today and I hope you’ll check out
    all of the new releases in the shop over the next few days!
    Don’t forget about the giveaway on the blog as well!
    If you use my code Lisa10 you can save 10% on your order anytime!
    Have a great day, I already am!

    Hello Kat Scrappiness fans! It is day 1 of the February product release and today, the design team is showcasing the Medallion Coverplate Die.  We are also having a giveaway everyday during release week so please scroll down at the end of the blog post to find out how to WIN this Medallion Coverplate die.  The design team has been super busy creating the samples for you.  We will not have a blog hop at this time but you will be able to see how they created their projects all throughout the month of February so please stay tuned.  Some of the girls are even planning on posting a YouTube process video.  Are you ready to see the Medallion Coverplate Die?  Here’s what it looks like:

     

     

    Here are some amazing samples by the design team.

     

    CAREN BARTHOLOMEW

     

    Caren created this super cute Valentine’s Day card with the new coverplate die and did some inlaid technique.  She used the stitched sentiment strip die for her Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment. What an awesome card, Caren!

     

    Caren created another card using the medallion coverplate and die-cut a scalloped circle as her focal point.  She also used the Give Thanks sentiment from the Happy Fall Y’all stamp set and added the fall leaf and some sequins to adorn the card. Wow!

     

    LISA GOLZBEIN

     

    Lisa did some ink-blending on her card stock with some distress oxide inks in pastel colors, and die cut the same using the medallion coverplate.  She also used the Thank You script sentiment die and added some jewels to finish her design.  So beautiful and perfect for Spring.  Here’s a closer look:

     

     

    MARIA RUSSELL

     

     

    I created a love-themed card.  I die-cut the medallion coverplate from some 110 lb card stock and adhered acetate sheet.  I added the foam adhesive to create the well and used the Golden Anniversary sequins as my shaker element.  I adhered this piece onto a white card-base and added an image from a stamp set from my stash.  I also used the new Stiched Sentiment strip die and heat-embossed the sentiment and adhered this strip on the center of my card.  Here’s a closer look:

     

     

    I created this simple card by die-cutting a tiffany-blue card stock using the coverplate die.  I stamped the sentiment from Virginia Turtle stamp set (purchased from the shop awhile back) using Versafine ink.  I added the black bow using a Penny Black die set.  I finished the design by adding some Sparkling clear jewels from the shop.  Doesn’t the black bow remind you of the outfit by Audrey Hepburn in the movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s? Here’s a closer look:

     

     

    MARTHA GOMEZ

     

    Martha used the Medallion coverplate die and cut it in half.  She adhered the die-cut on top of a green background using foam adhesive and stamped her sentiment on the stitched sentiment strip die.  To finish her design, she added the red heart.  Here’s a closer look:

     

     

    PRISCILLA JOSEPH

     

    Priscilla created this gorgeous Valentine’s Day card with the Medallion Coverplate as her background.  She stamped and heat-embossed the heart wreath using the Floral Heart stamp set by Neat and Tangled.  To finish her design, she added some Fuschia Jewels.  Here’s a closer look:

     

     

    Priscilla used the Medallion Coverplate die with the Cross Stitched Rectangle dies and a stamp set from Papertrey Ink called “Glorious Globes”.  I love the tone on tone background that she created on her card.   Here’s a closer look:

     

     

    TINA GUIGUI DORNBAUM

     

    Tina created this beautiful card by inking up her background with distress oxide inks and die-cut the piece using the coverplate die.  She adhered this piece onto a black card stock to make the colors pop!  She stamped the sentiment with versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder and added some sequins to finish her design.  I love the colors that she used!

     

    Here’s another card from Tina but this time, she colored the background instead of the die-cut and added a very colorful butterfly as her focal point.
