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

    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.

    Christmas Tags

    It’s Lisa here with you today on the blog and I have

    some simple gift tags to share with you.

    The one thing everyone seems to need this time of year

    is gift tags, and lots of them!

    I used the new Winter Crafter’s Essentials Dies, the

    Merry Christmas Sentiment Die and the Jolly Sentiment Die

    to make 9 different tags in quite a few different patterns.

    I started with the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Tag Dies as

    a base for all of the tags.

    I made 3 simple tags using some buffalo plaid patterned paper.

    I made 4 more using some inlaid die cutting and layering.

    And finally I made 2 tags that have extra embellishments for a little more interest.

    One of my favorite dies to use is the Jolly Sentiment Die 

    because I can cut out the 2 L’s and I have the word “Joy”

    in a beautiful script font.

    Here are all the tags hanging from a mini tree, they look cute as ornaments as well.

    If you’re in need of a quick tag or something with a little

    more pizazz than I think you’ll find some inspiration with

    one of the tags I’ve created.

    You can get really creative depending on the colors and patterns you choose.

    I hope I’ve inspired you to go and make some gift tags today!

    You know you’re going to need them soon!

    You can save 10% on your purchase if you use code Lisa10.

    Have a great day everyone, I already am!

    Having Fun with the New Kat Scrappiness “Crafters Essentials-Winter” Dies

    December 3, 2018

    Hey guys! I’m back again as a guest designer in December for Kat Scrappiness. Today I am playing with the recently released “Crafters Essentials-Winter”die set. As usual, I lost track of time and just kept making cards. LOL! I was trying everything with this die set — from Distress Oxide blending with them, to mixing bold patterned papers, to adding “snow” accents. There are so many possibilities for crafting with these dies.  The set includes:

    • A2 sized “Cut & Emboss” Stitched Snowflake Swirl Background Die
    • Two stitched snow drifts/hills
    • One die with three pine/Christmas trees
    • One deer die

    I hope you’ll enjoy seeing what I made with this die set.

     

     

    For my first card, I created a soft winter (green) scene using patterned papers and a sage green ink.

     

    I die cut and embossed the background using the snowflake background die, and lightly sponged “Bundled Sage” Distress Oxide inkover it, the pine trees, and the gingham checked snow drifts. Using the deer die with white card stock, I created an environmentally friendly “Rudolph, the Green-Nosed Reindeer” for the card front and then white heat-embossed “’tis the season” from Lawn Fawn‘s “Winter Scripty Sentiments” stamp set on the gingham snow drift. Snowflake sequins from Kat‘s “Snow Flurries“ mix were the finishing touch.

     

    For my second card, I created a moon-lit scene using Distress Oxide ink in “Stormy Sky,” a “Snow Marker,”and “Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz Spray.“

     

     

    I die cut the background from the Kat Scrappiness“Stitched Snowflake Swirl Border Backdrop Die”and sponged “Faded Jeans”and “Chipped Sapphire”Distress Oxide inks over it. The “Merry Christmas” sentiment is also from the Lawn Fawn‘s “Winter Scripty Sentiments” stamp set.

     

    The third card in a similar moon-lit scene, but this time using blue and purple Distress Oxide inks and card stocks.

     

    Note: I created the snow drifts by running white card stock through my “Big Shot” with the “Cut & Emboss” Stitched Snowflake Swirl Background Die and then running that die cut piece through again using the stitched snow drift die. The “happy holidays” sentiment is again from the Lawn Fawn‘s “Winter Scripty Sentiments” stamp set. I sprinkled the Kat Scrappiness “Sugarplum Fairies”sequin mix across the night sky for the finishing touch.

     

    My final card is a bit “out of the box” in that I created a winter scene using a boldly colored patterned paper collection.

     

    Pairing these papers with the“Crafters Essentials-Winter “dies showcases just how versatile this set is. Again the “season’s greetings” sentiment is from the Lawn Fawn stamp set. 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.

     

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY CRAFTING!
    Priscilla

    Snowman with Ice Cream Card by Jess Crafts

    Hello crafty friends! I wanted to try something a bit different and create a card that would work for Christmas, but still could be sent after Christmas in case I lost track of time in getting all my cards out. So I decided to use the Kat Scrappiness Stitched and Layered Snowman with the Winter Essentials dies. I have a full video tutorial for the card that you can watch below or on YouTube.

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-XTjia65-Y]

    I decided it would be fun to have my snowman hold something and I was really excited to use the new Kat Scrappiness sprinkles (not edible of course!). I decided to combine the sprinkles with Nuvo mousse. Kat has a ton of beautiful colors in the shop and it looks great as icing, ice cream, and even whipped cream.  The Crafter’s Essentials Winter die set was a perfect simple background and my sentiment with from Merry Critters. The whole thing is finished off with teal jewels. FInally, if you haven’t yet, check out the details for joining the Kat Scrappiness Coffee Oasis Charity Blog Hop.
