    Purr-fect Birthday

    Hello everyone! It’s Lisa up on the blog today and I have an adorable

    birthday shaker card to share with you featuring

    one of those adorable kitties from Newton’s Nook!

    My card for today uses several fun products from the Kat Scrappiness shop

    including the stamp set Birthday Bash by Newton’s Nook!

    Here’s a look at the card I made:

    I used the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Dies to make a frame

    for the shaker element on my card and instead of using

    acetate for my window I decided to use vellum to

    give it a softer look. On the vellum I stamped the confetti and the

    sentiment from the stamp set with Versamark Ink and

    then I heat embossed them with

     Rose Gold Embossing Powder by Lawn Fawn and

    WOW Super Fine White Pearl Embossing Powder.

    The cute birthday kitty was colored with copic markers and was

    given highlights with my Uni-Ball White Gel Pen.

    I then popped up kitty up on foam tape on the front of the shaker.

    My shaker element is filled with lots of

    the Fairy Dust Confetti Mix.

    For the base of my card I used Kraft cardstock and I embossed

    some teal cardstock with a pawprint pattern. I adhered the teal panel

    to the base with Nuvo adhesive.

    Here is a close up look at the card so you can see the

    pretty confetti behind the vellum window:

    Using Kat Scrappiness Sequins with the Gina K. Designs Wreath Builder

    Hey Guys, I’m back on the Kat Scrappiness blog today, and it’s all about “building” wreaths with several of the Kat Scrappiness  sequin collections and the Gina K. Designs“Wreath Builder” templates,  which Kat  sells in her store.

    I started first by creating four wreaths using the larger template, plus a stamping platform, Distress Oxide inks, and some of the leaf and branch stamps that come with the various Gina K. Designs “Wreath Builder” stamp sets. I stamped them all on the  Gina K. Designs “Wreath Builder Pre-Cut Cardstock” which fits perfectly inside the template opening. (Note I backed my wreath builder template with some black fun foam, which provides a sturdy stamping base in my stamping platform.)

    Then it was just a matter of deciding which sequin collections to use on each wreath. 🙂 . So many to choose from, but I narrowed it down to four collections.

    I chose the “Christmas Cheer”sequin mix for this first wreath, as it matched perfectly with the background paper I selected for the card.

    For all four cards, I stamped and heat embossed the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from Kat‘s “Merry Critters” stamp  set in the center of  the wreaths.

    For the next wreath, I used the “Sugarplum Fairies” sequin mix. It was perfect for this blue/purple stamped wreath!

    For my third card, I combined sequins from the Kat Scrappiness  “Brown Jewels,” Snow Flurries,” and some gold snowflakes from the “Christmas Cheer” collections.

    And for my final card, I not only added red sequins from the “Christmas Cheer” sequin set, I also stamped and colored the wrapped present and the candy cane from the “Merry Critters” stamp set and added them to the center of the wreath. I added some ivory “Nuvo Crystal Drops” around the wreath for the perfect finishing touch.

    Here are all four finished cards. Which one is your favorite?

    Well, that’s all until next time . . . 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.

    Christmas Stocking Banner Cards

    Hello crafty friends! It is a real honor to share with you as Guest Designer during the next two months. I am Martha Lucia Gomez from Stampartpapel blog and today I have two cards that I created using the Christmas Stocking Banner Die, an exclusive product from Kat Scrappiness Store. My first projects are using the Christmas Stocking Banner Die from Kat Scrappiness. I used different material to cut them and I am sure that you are loving this die cut for several reasons. One of them the perfect size because it is a large banner that you can use as is or cut in different pieces, just like I made. For my first card I used Whisper White card stock for the base and for the second layer. Yes, the second layer was originally white but I decided to make it more special and cover the layer with two pieces of wide washi tape in blue and white. I pasted the decorated layer directly over the card base.
    Then I cut the Christmas Stocking Banner using two different materials. The first layer is whisper white card stock, the second layer is Silver /Gold Rinea Foiled Paper. I also cut all the special details of this stocking using different colors and textures of Rinea Foilded Paper to make it more colorful. I secured the foiled layer only with the top line of the banner and left the stocking free and easy to open it. In each stocking is a tiny stamped letter.
    To finalize the card, I secured the banner to the card with two little blue brads and added a sentiment stamped with VersaFine Clair Blue Belle over a whisper white piece of card stock and blue mat.
    My second card was made using decorated papers and with the idea of using it as a gift card holder too. I used balmy blue card stock to create the card base and added one entire layer on top and one folded layer as third to create the pocket.
    I decorated the folded piece with a tiny heart button and tied a piece of hemp thread and two individual stockings that I cut from the Christmas Stocking Banner. To finalize the card, I added a stamped sentiment on the lower part of the card using Versafine Clair Blue Belle. I hope these two cards inspire you to use your Christmas Stocking Banner Die in different ways and take advantage of this fabulous product. See you soon!

    Wishing You Peace, Love & Joy by Maria

    Hello everyone!  Maria here on the blog today.  Have you joined our Blog Hop to benefit the Coffee Oasis Youth Program?  Collection is currently open and all you have to do is make a winter-themed project and link it on the site, or leave comments on each participants blog and you will also have a chance to WIN!  Simple as that!

     

    For my card today, I am showcasing the new Stitched Snowflake Swirl Border Background die and other products available at the shop.   I started out by die-cutting a piece of some Bristol smooth white card stock using the Stitched Snowflake Swirl Border Background die.  I inked up this piece with Spun Sugar and Antique Linen distress oxide inks with my mini-ink blending tool.

     

    Using the Holiday Style stamp set from Sunny Studio Stamps, I stamped the pine boughs first, then positioned the silver bell ornament and stamped it with different gray and black inks.  I also stamped it with some Encore silver pigment ink.  I die-cut a piece of red  bow using a die-set from Lawn Fawn and adhered it onto the top of the ornament.  I also stamped the sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink and Lawn Fawn Lobster ink.  I added the Sparkling Clear jewels using my Crystal Katana jewel picker.

     

     

    Here’s my card:

     

     

    I absolutely LOVE the stitching details made by the die.  It is so beautiful in person.  I also LOVE the jewels that are available at the shop but the sparkling clear ones are my favorite.  Here’s a little close-up:

     

     

    In my opinion, Kat Scrappiness makes the most beautiful and affordable dies.  I can’t even pick a favorite because I love them all!  Please tell us which one is your favorite die from the shop.

     

     

    I hope you like my card today.  The supplies I used are listed and linked below.  Don’t forget to use my coupon code “MARIA10” for 10% off your order.  Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting!

    Stitched and Layered Dies – Snowman, Gingerbread Man, Christmas Tree

    December 7, 2018

    Hi everyone!  I have three cards for you today that feature some older Christmas dies from Kat Scrappiness that are super cute.  I also use a ton of other great Kat Scrappiness products.

    My first card features the Stitched and Layered Snowman die.  For his buttons, I used the red glitter sequins from the Holiday Sparkles sequin mix.  The candy cane I added to the snowman’s hat is from the same sequin mix.  I used foam squares to adhere the snowman to piece of pattern paper I cut out using the Stitched Scalloped Oval dies.  The sentiment for this card is from the Merry Critters stamp set.

    The second card I created uses the cute Design a Gingerbread Man die.  For the buttons on the gingerbread man, I used the glittery green sequins from the Sparkling Wintergreen sequin mix.  I used foam squares to adhere the gingerbread man to piece of pattern paper I cut out using the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies.

    For my final card, I cut the Stitched and Layered Christmas tree out of some green pattern paper.  I then used the same die set to cut out the bows, star, and tree trunk out of colored card stock.  I arranged the bows on the tree and added green sequins from the Holiday Fun sequin mix to finished the decorations on the tree.  I cut out the word Christmas from the Merry Christmas Brush Script Sentiment die out of some red glitter paper.  For this card, the Merry from that die was too big for what I wanted.  So instead, I used one of the Stitched Fishtail banner dies and heat embossed the word Merry from the Merry Critters stamp set.

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. Today I have a couple of holiday cards to share with you using the new Crafters Essentials Winter dies. You can make those last minute cards with these dies and use some fancy cardstock to give it that extra festive feel. Below I will show you the steps to create these cards using Foiled Cardstock and Glitter Cardstock. Please note that it is extremely hard to photograph the Foiled Card but it is stunning in real life.

    Card #1 using Foiled Cardstock

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half for a horizontal side fold card. (A2)

    Step 2 – Diecut Crafters Essentials Winter using Teal Foiled Cardstock for background, Green Foiled Cardstock for trees, and Silver Foiled Cardstock for hills. Adhere background and bottom layered hill using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive glue. Adhere the trees using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive glue.

    Step 3 – Stamp Merry Critters sentiment to the top layer of hill created from step 2 using Versamark. Use an anti static powder tool before you stamp. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder and remove the excess. Heat set it with a heat tool. Adhere the top layer hill using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive glue.

    Card #2 using Glitter Cardstock

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half for a horizontal side fold card. (A2)

    Step 2 – Diecut Crafters Essentials Winter using Soft Blue Cardstock for background, Green Cardstock for trees, and Silver Glitter Cardstock for hills. Adhere all diecuts using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive glue.

    Step 3 – Stamp Merry Critters sentiment just above the hill on the left side 2 using Versamark. Use an anti static powder tool before you stamp. I shaped the sentiment to follow the shape of the hill. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder and remove the excess. Heat set it with a heat tool.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s cards. You can try other versions of these cards by using patterned paper Christmas themed. To receive 10% off your order use code: TINA10 at checkout. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
