    There’s Snow One Like You!

    Hello my crafty peeps! Maria here with you today and I’m back with a Christmas card, showcasing the Merry Critters stamp set.  I LOVE this stamp set so much and I just couldn’t wait to play with it.

     

    I started by stamping my images on Neenah solar white card stock and colored them in with my Copic markers.  The little yellow bird reminds me so much of tweety!   Here’s what the stamp set look like:

     

     

    Since this stamp set didn’t come with coordinating dies, I die-cut the images using my Brother Scan N Cut 2.

     

     

    I inked up my background with some distress oxide inks.  I ahve been loving the Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar color combination lately!  It gives the perfect wintery-sky!  Here’s my card:

     

     

    I used some white glittered card stock as well to create my snow hill.  I think this card turned out so cute.  Here’s a little close-up:

     

     

    I hope you like my project today.  The supplies I used are listed and linked blow.  Please consider supporting me by clicking on those links.  Don’t forget to use my coupon code “MARIA10” for 10% off your order.  Have an amazing day!

    Christmas Stocking Banner

    Hi Crafters!

    Kat Scrappiness released four new fabulous Christmas dies (sets) this week – Christmas Stocking Banner, Build a Stocking, Holly & Berries, and Fancy Floral Coverplate.  Each one of these would be a great addition to your stack to make Christmas cards and ornaments!

    In today’s post, I’m featuring the Christmas Stocking Banner.

    I created a finished card that measures 9 inches wide by 3 inches tall.  I used distress inks to ink up the background of the card, then added some water droplets to give it a more distressed look.  I used the stocking banner die to cut out the stockings from white card stock.  I then grabbed a paper pad from my stash to cut out each of the stocking covers in coordinating paper.  For the opening of the stocking, I used silver glitter paper.  I added some white and gray bakers twine over the top of the stocking.  Then I tied two bows from silver ribbon and adhered them to the ends of the banner.  To finish off the card, I heat embossed the sentiment in silver embossing powder.

    Deer Friend Wiper Card

    Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans, it’s Lisa up on the blog today and

    I’ve got something exciting I want to share with you!

    It’s exciting for me because I learned a new technique recently

    and I’m in love with the results!

    The card I made is called a Wiper Card.

    A wiper card has a fun hidden element that swipes out like a

    windshield wiper when you open the card!

    SO MUCH FUN!

    I know this technique might not be new to some of you but I just

    stumbled across it on Instagram the other day.

    Here is a link to the YouTube tutorial that I followed if you want to make your own.

    ***Wiper Card Tutorial***

    The basic construction of the card is very simple and it’s up to you how to decorate it.

    This card was so much fun to make and I can’t wait to make more in other themes!

    Imagine the surprise for the recipient when they open the card!

    The outside of the card is decorated just like any traditional card and the

    wiper element of the card has an additional decoration on it.

    On my card  I added a finishing sentiment from the front of the card.

    Here is a short video to show you the card in action!

    Wiper card video

    Here are two pictures of the card first closed and

    then opened showing the wiper element popped up.

    All of the stamps on the card are from the Kat Scrappiness stamp set Merry Critters.

    I hope you enjoyed this card today as much as I enjoyed making it!

    I will list and link all of the Kat Scrappiness products below that I used to

    make this fun card!

    If you want to purchase any of the products that I used on today’s card

    Have a great day everyone, I already am!

    Owlsome Card and Video Tutorial by Jess Crafts

    Hello crafty friends! I was excited to use one of the new stamp sets available at Kat Scrappiness from Heffy Doodle call Hootiful. I thought it would pair wonderfully with some of my Kat Scrappiness favorites including the Peacock backdrop die.  I have a full video tutorial for the card that you can watch below or on YouTube.

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tks5H6dBHJM]

    When I couldn’t find just the right color of cardstock in my stash I reached for my Distress Oxide inks. If you haven’t yet completed your set Kat has the latest set. The Lowercase Condensed Alphabets were perfect to add a large focal point to my card. I finished the whole thing off with some stars from the Mint Sprinkles sequin mix. If you haven’t yet, check out the details for joining the Kat Scrappiness Coffee Oasis Charity Blog Hop.

    November Card Challenge – Pumpkin Patch

    Hi everyone, it’s Lisa and I am back again with another Kat Scrappiness monthly challenge!

    I want to thank everyone who participated in our October challenge. We had 37 wonderful entries and we are so happy that you are sharing your cards with us!

    The random winner from last month is:  Michelle B with her fall themed card.

    Congrats Michelle B!

    And now let’s get on with our November challenge!

    When I look around the internet lately it’s gone pumpkin crazy!!  It makes sense with Fall being here and the decorations and recipes all call for those wonderful orange FRUITS!

    Yes that’s right, a pumpkin is a fruit! I’m sure some of you knew that already but it’s an interesting fact I thought I’d share:

    A pumpkin is a fruit, because it matches this dictionary definition of “fruit”: The edible plant structure of a mature ovary of a flowering plant, usually eaten raw. But the same entry goes on to add: Many fruits which are not sweet, such as tomatoes, beans, green peppers, etc., are popularly called vegetables.

    And that is your daily dose of trivia! You’re welcome!

    I’d love everyone to meet me in the Pumpkin Patch this month!  Let’s see your pumpkins!  You can get creative with your orange fruits and pair them with some cute critters, you can make them any color or size and you can even make them your background! All we ask is that you have at least one pumpkin somewhere on your card.

    So go ahead and get out your pumpkin stamps and dies and play along with us!  You just might get lucky and win a $25 gift certificate to KatScrappiness.com!

    While you do not “have” to use our products, we would love to see how you incorporate your Kat Scrappiness stamps and/or dies in your project!

    ***We only have 2 easy requirements to play along this month:***

    1. Use at least one pumpkin on your card or project.

    2. Please remember to link back to this challenge in your entry.

    That’s it! Easy peasy right? Now let’s see your PUMPKINS!

    To enter, submit a photo of your project below (Click on the “Add Your Link” button) and we will randomly pick the winner at the end of the month.

    Good Luck from Kat Scrappiness, and we’ll see you at The Pumpkin Patch!

    Boo! Halloween Ghost Card

    October 31, 2018

    Happy Halloween, crafters!  I’m so excited that I get to post a blog right on Halloween itself.  For the special occasion, I decided to pull out all the stops and get really creative.  It would be easy to pare down this design to include just a few of the elements, but if you’d like to recreate this card exactly, keep reading to see all of the steps.

     

    My first step was to cut my layering pieces for the card front.  I cut a piece of black card stock at 4.25 x 5.5″ and a piece of Halloween patterned paper at 3 x 5.5″.  Next, I cut two border strips with this adorable Kat Scrappiness Elegant Borders die set.  There are lots of different possibilities with this very versatile set, and with seven separate dies, it’s easy to find just the right border design for any project.

     

    I wanted to incorporate a few pumpkins into my design, and the new Kat Scrappiness Happy Fall Y’All stamp set was the perfect choice.  I stamped them in black ink and heat set them with clear embossing powder, then colored them in with my Tombow markers.  Aren’t they cute?  I fussy cut them with my little snips, leaving a thin white border around the edges.

     

    I used an A2 sized (4.25 x 5.5″) card base and attached my layering pieces with some tape.  I ran the pretty border strips across the top and bottom, which shows up beautifully against the black.  The pumpkins were layered on top, and I popped up the smaller one on a foam square.

     

    To create a sentiment for this card, I decided to use the gorgeous Kat Scrappiness Black AB Jewels to spell out the word “Boo!”  I picked out a bunch of the smallest ones and practiced laying them out to see how many it would take.  I was very happily surprised to see that I could easily line them up and make nice, clear letters with very little fuss.  Once I had used some dots of glue to secure each one down, I let it dry completely and then fussy cut around the jewels.  I also layered this white piece onto black card stock and cut it out again.  I secured the jeweled word to my card front, the popped up the little ghost on foam squares.  His eyes are made with the small black jewels, too!

     

    And there is my finished Halloween card!  This one was an awful lot of fun to make, and I really hope that you like it, too.  All of the items used in this project are available right now on Kat’s website, and I’ve included a shopping link for you down below.  Please feel free to use the coupon code “CYNTHIA10” to save 10% off your entire purchase.  I will see you all again in November, and I wish you a fun and safe Halloween  🙂
