    Howly Christmas to you by Jo Herbert

    Hi All, Welcome to today’s blog post where Gold Glitter the whole Peacock background die for this sweet card. The peacock background is already stunning on its own but with the added WOW! Embossing Powder Gold Glitter Sparkle I felt it added that Christmas feel to the card even more.

    I have directly pressed my embossing ink on the already die cut background to get good coverage of ink all over it. Then I poured the embossing glitter all over it repeatedly until all the background die is covered which I then heat set it.

    The stampset I have chosen for today’s card creation is the Gerda Steiner Christmas Puppies. It has the cutest images in this set and it has been fun copic colouring them in.

    I have kept the card super simple as I found the glitter was already adding the extra shine that I needed. I added a scalloped circle die cut then the cut out copic coloured image foam mounted on top. I added a heat embossed sentiment to the side of the image and that is my card.

    I have created a process video of today’s card creation.

    Halloween Scene Card

    Hello, crafters!  This is Design Team member Cynthia with a very special Halloween card.  I used Kat’s brand new Crafters Essentials Fall die set and the Toil & Trouble Layered stamp set and matching dies for the adorable cat image and sentiment.  Let’s go ahead and break down some details of how I made this card.  For a full tutorial of all the steps, please be sure to follow the link below to Kat’s YouTube page and watch my video.

     

     

     

    I started off by stamping the cat image in all three layers, then used the eyes stamp to give them a soft green color.  I found it very useful having my Misti stamp positioning tool on hand for this, although the images aren’t too challenging to line up just by sight.

     

    I did some ink blending of Distress Oxide inks to create my night sky, then spritzed tiny water droplets on to imitate stars.  There are so many options for creating inked skies!  You could use purples, grays, blues, oranges – any colors that are your favorite  🙂

     

    When creating a scene, it’s important to give yourself some “ground” for things to sit on.  Without it, your pieces will look like they’re floating in space – which you probably don’t want.  I simply cut myself a small strip of dark green card stock to act as my grass, then built my scene on top of it.

     

    And here is the finished card!  I hope that you enjoyed this one, and that you’ll give these awesome dies and stamps a try for yourself.  They are currently available in the Kat Scrappiness shop, along with many other awesome products.  I’ve included a shopping link below for you, and please feel free to use my coupon code “CYNTHIA10” to enjoy 10% off your entire purchase.  Thank you so much for joining me today, and have an awesome day!

    Merry Christmas My Deer Friend Card

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. This month Kat Scrappiness has a fabulous Merry Critters Stamp Set to help you make your Holiday Cards. It has critters as well as some fun sentiments. Below you will find the steps to replicate this card.

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

    Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. Apply Distress Oxide Ink using an ink applicator. Start with Stormy Sky at the top and blend in Tumbled Glass leaving an inch at the bottom uncolored. Spritz some water to create droplets. Dab at excess. Apply White Acrylic Paint onto an Acrylic Block. Spray some water and mix it. Using a paintbrush tap the brush to create a snowy scene. Set aside to dry.

    Step 3 – Stamp Merry Critters onto White Cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Color using any color medium of your choice. I used Winsor and Newton Promarkers. For added detail use a White Gel Pen to create stripes and circles on the presents and on the tree to create snow. Fussy cut out all the images or use a scan n cut.

    Step 4 – Adhere the background created from Step 2 onto the card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive Glue. Adhere the images to the card using collage medium.

    Step 5 – For added interest and sparkle use Wink of Stella on some of the images.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Below you will find a link to all the products used. To receive 10% off your next order at Kat Scrappiness use code: TINA10 at checkout. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

    Crafters Essentials – Fall Dies

    Hi everyone!  I can’t believe it is only two weeks until Halloween!

    Today I have two cards that are using the new Crafters Essentials Fall die set.  This set includes 9 dies that are perfect for making Halloween and Fall cards.  With just these nine dies, you can create a variety of cards.

    For my first card, I used some distress oxide inks to create an orangy yellowish background.  Then I die cut the bat from the Crafters Essentials Fall die set several times.  I strategically placed the bats on the card and stamped the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Toil & Trouble Layered stamp set using VersaFine onyx black ink.

    For my second card, I used three dies from the Crafters Essentials Fall die set – the tree, pumpkin and scarecrow.  After die cutting the the scarecrows, I colored them with my Copics and added some Kat Scrappiness jewels to their shirts.  I adhered all the dies cuts to the card based and stamped the Happy Fall Y’all sentiment from the Happy Fall Y’all stamp set by Kat Scrappiness.

    Happy Fall Card by Jo Herbert

    Hi all, Jo Herbert here bring to you another blog post using the beautiful Happy Fall stampset. I have enjoyed copic colouring this main stamp image from the set.

    I started by repeat stamping the leaf image randomly on a white cardstock slightly smaller than the black top folding card base.  I have chosen a grey ink as this is soft in tone and I didnt want to take away from the cetnre coloured image.

    To maximize the usage of the Stitched Scallop Collage Frame Dies iI rimmed it down to one frame to add as a border for my card. I felt this help frame my copic coloured image. I copic coloured the frame to coordinate with the main image. I did the same for the sentiment strip and heat embossed with white over the top. It’s a great way to colour coordinate and tie in all your creation.

    I have made a youtube of my card making process over on the Kat Scrappiness youtube. Come and visit and say hi. I would love to hear from you.

    Give Thanks Card with Video

    Hi it’s Lisa up on the blog today and I have a Fall themed card to share with you.

    I used one of my favorite techniques on this card and

    I filmed a video to show you the process.

    I love to make watercolored backgrounds with Distress Inks and then die cut shapes out of it.  Once the background is colored the way I like it, I splatter some black paint onto it to give it an organic look. For this card I chose some pretty Kelly Purkey feather dies that I’ve had for a long time. I thought they would go nicely with the theme for this card. 

    For this card I used the vase and pumpkin images from the

    new stamp set called “Happy Fall Y’all”.

    I colored the vase with 4 colors of Distress Inks and then I cut the

    vase out with a die from the Stitched Scalloped Oval Dies.

    The vellum background behind the oval was die cut using the 

    Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies. I arranged the feathers behind the scalloped circle and added some yellow and orange jewels around the vase for some added interest.

    Finally I stamped the sentiment onto some brown card stock in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white powder.  I then used my Scan n Cut to cut it out.

    Here is the video showing how I made this card or you can watch it on YouTube.
