    Funny Cards with Cheat Day Stamp Set

    Hello Kat Scrappiness fans! Maria here on the blog with you. Are you all excited to drink eggnog, eat some baked ham and candied yams?  I certainly am! I am back today to share with you two funny cards showcasing the Cheat Day stamp set, Punny Snacks stamp set, Brown Jewels, and the Double-Stiched Rectangle dies.

     

    For my first card below, I scored some A2-sized cream card stock using my Scor-Pal Scoring Board and inked the lines with some Fog ink.  I learned this technique from Dawn of W Plus 9 where she showed it on her YouTube video (thank you, Dawn!).  I adhered this piece onto my card base and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

     

     

    I used the cake from the Loves Me Ephemera Cardstock die-cuts by Pebbles and adhered it onto my card with some foam tape.   I finished my design by adorning the card with some Brown Jewels.  This card is really simple but I love how it turned out.  Here’s a little close-up:

     

     

    Those brown jewels are so pretty.  I also love the ephemera packs that I purchased from the shop.  Here’s another look:

     

     

    For my second card, I scored another piece of A2-sized cream card stock and inked the lines again with some fog card stock.  I cut another piece of black card stock and die-cut the same using the double-stitched rectangle frames to create a frame.  I wanted this card to look like one of those Letterboards we all love.  I adhered this piece on the card with some foam tape.  I stamped my sentiment using some Versafine Onyx Black ink and adhered my colored images from the Punny Snacks stamp set.  Here’s my second card:

     

     

    I think the Cheat Day stamp set is hilarious and certainly a must-have to add to your stamp collection.   Here’s a little close-up:

     

     

    During the holidays, I don’t really watch what I eat and the sentiment on this card is exactly how I feel!    What about you guys?  Here’s another look:

     

     

    I hope you like my cards today.  Which one is your favorite?  The supplies I used are listed and linked below.  Before I go I just wanted to let you know that the Christmas and Hanukkah items in the shop are currently on sale.  Use coupon code “STUFFMYSTOCKING” FOR 20% off in this category.

    Build-A-Stocking Gift Tags

    December 21, 2018

    Hello, crafters!  I hope that all of you are having some fun this holiday season.  It can be extremely busy and stressful, but don’t forget to take a little break now and then to re-set and re-energize 🙂  Since crafting is such an integral part of my personal happiness, it was a pleasure to escape to my craft room and work up a little project to share with you today.  So sit back with your drink of choice (no judgement here!) and let’s dive into these Stocking Gift Tags.

     

    My first step was to do some die cutting with the wonderful Kat Scrappiness Build A Stocking Dies set.  I wanted a sturdy base, so I cut eight White stockings and then eight more in an assortment of greens and red.  I then selected four different Christmas themed patterned papers and cut out the “fabric” pieces two times for each paper.  I also cut some trees and hearts with the accent dies that come in the set.  I will use some of these in this project, and save the others for a future project.  I really love the size of all of these, as they are big enough to handle easily but small enough to fit into many different projects.

     

    Assembly of these stockings is very easy.  I glued one of the White stockings over one of the solid colored ones, then attached the patterned paper pieces into place.  You can see that this gives a nice white cuff, toe, and heel to the stockings.  You can definitely choose to make your own however you’d like – I just liked the classic look of white.  You can also see that I used the patterned hearts here, as well as some solid green trees to fill the cutouts I’d made earlier.  Again, you can use anything you’d like for this – I think a gold glitter card stock would look great, too!

     

    Now you KNOW I couldn’t just leave that white stocking cuff all alone, so I brought out one of my favorite new sets from Kat – the Holly & Berries Dies set!  This fabulous little set is chock full of five different sized holly leaves and three sizes of berries.  I chose to use the two smallest leaves and the middle-sized berry to create these cute little clusters.  Although they look amazing when layered with foam dots, I kept them flat for these tags.  I love how they look!

     

    There’s plenty of room on the backside of these tags for a message, some stamping, or a simple To and From like I chose.  Although I do have tiny stamps that say this, I went ahead and used a White gel pen to write it myself.  Easy-peasy!  You can see in the first photo of this blog post that I also added some sparkly red and white yarn to tie these tags onto my packages.  I used some simple slip knots to attach the yarn to the little loops of the stockings.

     

    My final touch was to add just a bit of glitter, because there is NO WAY I can create a Christmas tag with no sparkle!  The gorgeous White Blizzard Nuvo Crystal Drops added just the right amount of fun to my little berries.  Again, feel free to embellish your own stockings as much as you want!  There are no rules when it comes to gift tags 😀

     

    And that completes my Gift Tag project!  Making these was a joy, and I plan on making many more with all different colors and patterns – including frosty white/silver/blue tags.  If you’d like these two wonderful die sets, as well as other great items from Kat, please follow the links above or use the shopping link I’ve included below.  Don’t forget to use the discount code “CYNTHIA10” to save 10% off your entire purchase.  Thank you again for joining me today, and have a wonderful, crafty day 🙂

    Christmas and New Year’s Cards with Kat Scrappiness and Newton’s Nook

    December 20, 2018

    Hey Guys! I’m back again with both some Christmas cards and “Happy New Year” cards for you today. And “Newton” the kitty, from Newton’s Nook, makes a guest appearance in two of them.

    For my first Christmas card, I brought back one of my favorites, the Kat Scrappiness“Build a Stocking”die with my favorite “Buffalo Plaid” patterned paper and “fur” similar to a previous Kat Scrappiness blog post   I did in November.

     

     

    I adhered the finished stocking to a black brick-embossed background and added the coal sentiment and the “naughty” die cut to finish the card. Both came from Kat Scrappiness‘s “Naughty Christmas Stamp & Matching Die” combo set.

     

    For my second Christmas card, “Newton”, the kitty, is misbehaving, shooting Christmas fireworks everywhere!

    First, I used Echo Park ‘s “Fireworks Stencil” for the background with “Candied Apple” and “Mowed Lawn” Distress Oxideinks. I then adhered snow banks from the Kat Scrappiness“Crafters Essentials-Winter” die set at the bottom and stamped the sentiment from  Kat’s “Naughty Christmas Stamp & Matching Die” combo set.

     

    I colored “Newton” from the Newton Nook’s  “New Year’s Stamp and Die Combo Set” with Copic Markers and placed him behind the snow banks. By coloring his champagne bottle to look like a black cannon, this kitty is ready for mischief. LOL! I used  the Kat Scrappiness“Christmas Cheer” sequin collection for the fireworks and added a snowflake from Kat‘s “Snowflake Kisses” die set.

     

    For card #3, I switched gears (and holidays) and created a New Year’s card. I created a shaker card by die cutting a circle, framing it in gold glimmer card stock, and then filling it with two of Kat’s sequin mixes: “Snow Flurries” and “Cheers Gold,” with some added clear bubble sequins from my stash.

     

    I die cut the Kat Scrappiness“Happy New Year Brush Script and Sentiment Die” out of blue glimmer card stock, layered a second one behind it in gold glimmer card stock, and then adhered it to a black glimmer card base. Two champagne glasses from the “Cheers Gold” sequin collection were the finishing touch next to the sentiment.

     

    My final card wishes all crafters a “Happy New Year.” And what could be more appropriate than scissor sequins shooting out of Newton’s champagne bottle!

     

    I die cut a large circle in a white panel and placed it over a background that was sponged with “Mermaid Lagoon” Distress Oxidesink. I then sponged silver pigment ink through the Echo Park “Fireworks Stencil.”

    I die cut “Newton” from the Newton Nook’s  “New Year’s Stamp and Die Combo Set“, added a little color to him, and then adhered him to the front of the card. I added the Kat Scrappiness“Silver Scissor Sequin Mix” onto the spewing champagne and up into the sky. The “Happy New Year” sentiment is from same stamp set, although I added the “Crafty” from a stamp set in my stash.

     

    And on that note, “Happy Crafty New Year” to all my fellow crafters. May 2019 bring you joy and even greater creativity!

    Hi everyone!  I can’t believe Christmas is a little over a week away! Today, I have created some quick and easy tags using cover plate dies from Kat Scrappiness.

    My first set of tags features the Wood Grain Framed Diamond Wire die and the Merry Critters stamp set.  I used the banner die from the Crafters Essentials – Fall die set for the sentiment.

    My second set of tags used the Fancy Floral Coverplate die.  I used spray adhesive on the back of the die cuts and then attached them to the card stock.  I sprayed glitter mist on these tags and attached glitter words to the tags.

    For my third set of tags, I used the Peacock Backdrop die and two word dies – Jolly and Ho Ho Ho.

    Winter Holidays Cards

    December 16, 2018

    Hello there! Martha Lucia here with you. Today I have a set of Winter Celebration Cards featuring some die cuts from Kat Scrappiness. If you haven’t seen them you must because they have exclusive and elegant designs that you can use not only in winter creations but in other seasons too.

    My first card is a Holiday Cheer Card created with the Fancy Floral Coverplate Die. This design is very elegant and detailed so I made a see through card.

    Winter Celebration Cards

    To make this type of cards you only need to cut two similar layers and make a score in 1/8 of the top border, fold the line to make it flexible, fold back to the normal position and add the score tape or glue just on the flexible border to let the card open easily.

    Winter Celebration Cards

    To decorate this card I used traditional colors of Christmas. I cut two circle cross stitch dies from Gina Marie Designs, available on Kat Scrappiness Store. The larger in Cherry Cobbler card stock and the next smallest size in whisper white. I stamped a sentiment over the whisper white circle and layered it with the cherry cobbler piece. The sentiment is from the stamp set 3D Christmas Poinsettia by Joy Clair. I used Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink to stamp the message.

    Winter Celebration Cards

    To finalize the decoration, I used the Holly Leaves and Berries die cut from Kat Scrappiness. First I inked a piece of whisper white card stock using two different greens of Distress Ink and then cut the leaves from the inked layer. I really like this die cut because each leave and berry comes embossed too.

     

    Winter Celebration Cards

    Something to keep in mind when you create a see through card is that you need to cover the back of your the decorative layers, so in my card I just cut three more cross stitched circles in the larger size using whisper white card stock and pasted it in corresponding place. You can notice it better on the second photo above.

    My second project is using the Stitched Snowflake Swirl Border Backdrop Die, also from Kat Scrappiness Store. This is a real elegant die cut, perfect for wedding cards or any other elegant card.

    Winter Celebration Cards

    The base of my card is basic black card stock and the decorated layer is whisper white. First I cut the layer using the Stitched Snowflake Swirl Border Backdrop. I cut a little part from the borders to make it smaller and using the pines die included on the Crafters Essentials Winter Dies, I cut the center of the layer.

    Winter Celebration Cards

    I cut a piece of decorated paper to paste in place over the base card, just when the pines are. I pasted the second layer with dimensionals or double sided foam tape and kept some negative pieces of the pines to paste over the decorated paper and give more dimension.

    Winter Celebration Cards

    I completed the card by adding a stamped sentiment in whisper white card stock and mat on basic black, and splatter some drops of Glimmer Mist Safari Green over the entire layer.

    The last card that I will share today is a water-colored card created with Stitched Winter Swirl Backdrop Die from Kat Scrappiness. It is a detailed stitched die absolutely wonderful.

    Winter Celebration Cards

    I cut the die using watercolor paper and just added a light blue color with an aquapainter on the free areas in between of the swirls and snowflakes. I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors and when the paper was totally dry I sprayed the entire surface with Sparkle Sheer Shimmer to add the shiny touch to the layer.

    Winter Celebration Cards

    I pasted the decorated layer over a Twlight card base and decorated with a big silver snowflake and a sentiment from the stamp set Born is the King by Joy Clair Stamps. I stamped the sentiment over a piece of card stock of the same color of the card base using VersaMark and WOW Metallic Silver Sparkle Embossing Powder. Then I cut the sentiment using a Cross Stitched Square die cut from Gina Marie Designs and pasted all with double sided foam tape.

    Winter Celebration Cards

    As a final touch I added some Teal Jewels on the center of the stitched stars and snowflakes. The jewels come in different sizes and they work perfectly as embellishment.

    Thank you for stopping by and don’t forget that the Kat Scrappiness die cuts are beautiful, versatile and on sale!. A big hug!
