    “Wine Not?” Wineglass Card

    Hello, crafters!  Thank you for joining me today as I create this adorable card featuring Kat’s brand new stamps and dies.  The sentiment is from the Wine Not stamp set and the wine bottle die is from the Wine Not die set.  There are plenty of different cutting options in this die set, but I decided to only use the wine bottle.  Let’s go ahead and walk through the steps of making this card.

     

    When I was cutting out multiple wine glasses to start playing around, I realized that the scrap of card stock left behind had a fun, retro look to it, so I decided to use it as a stencil.  I carefully taped it down to a piece of kraft card stock with some washi tape.  Using an ink blending tool and some pretty Cranberry dye ink, I gently sponged over the stencil.  I was as careful as I could be, slowly building up layers of ink using more of a dabbing motion than a rubbing motion.  Once I did this end of the card stock, I flipped the stencil upside down and repeated the blending on the opposite end.

     

    One of my favorite things is printed vellum.  I happened to find this sheet at my local craft store and decided to use some of it today.  This strip is about 2.5″ wide so that it comfortably fits the Wine Not stamp.  I treated the surface of the vellum with my anti-static tool, stamped the image in embossing ink, then sprinkled on some gold embossing powder.  I made sure my embossing gun was nice and hot, then quickly melted the powder.  Be careful with this step – vellum is very thin and your powder will melt A LOT faster than it does on card stock!

     

    It can be a bit of a challenge to adhere vellum to your project without glue or tape showing through.  To prevent that, I like to run the vellum across the front of my card and fold the edges over to the backside.  I can then tape it securely without having anything show!  Problem solved!

     

    For my wine bottle, I die cut it with some black card stock and used kraft to create the cork.  For my label, I used a piece of cranberry card stock and embossed the edges with more of my gold embossing powder.  It’s a pretty effect, and a nice way to tie things together.  I also attached my wineglass background to a piece of this same cranberry card stock to act as a matting layer.  My last step was to pop up my wine bottle on a bit of foam tape and attach it next to the sentiment.

     

    And here is my final card!  I think this one turned out so pretty, and the wine bottle is adorable.  Can you picture making wine bottle tags to put on hostess gifts?  I’m going to be doing that this weekend for sure 🙂  If you would like to pick up this stamp set and die set for yourself, follow the shopping link below to the Kat Scrappiness website.  Don’t forget to use the shopping code “CYNTHIA10” to receive 10% off your entire purchase.  Thank you again for joining me, and have a crafty day!

    Hello everyone!  I can’t get enough of the Peacock Backdrop die – it is so beautiful and elegant.

    For today’s card, I cut the Peacock backdrop die out of turquoise card stock and glued it to a dark brown card base.  I heat embossed the sentiment from the Let’s Get Caffeinated stamp set using Versamark ink and turquoise embossing powder.  I cut the sentiment out with a die from the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle dies.  I popped that up on the card using foam squares.  I them added some Sparkling Clear Jewels for a finishing touch on the card.

    Wine Not? by Jo Herbert

    Hi all, Jo here and welcome to a clean and simple card design for you. One thing I like to do is stretch the dies I have and use them in different ways. For today’s card creation I have used my dies as a back drop on my card front. With using white cardstock on white cardstock I was able to get a tone on tone effect. I find this technique can be impactful in a subtle way. The die I have used today is from the September release Wine Not?  from Kat Scrappiness collection.

    For a pop of colour I have used a deep red / cherry colour cardstock die cut with the stitched hearts from the Kat Scrappiness collection.

    For the sentiment I have used the coordinating stampset and heat embossed with Opaque Bright White Super Fine from WOW! Embossing Powders.

    I finished the card off with some Clear Sparkling jewels.

    I have made a quick video tutorial on how I made the card below.

    Let’s Get Caffeinated with Newton’s Nook

    September 21, 2018

    Good morning, crafters!  Today’s card is featuring something near and dear to my heart – coffee!!!  I always love stamp sets that feature coffee images and sentiments, and the new Kat Scrappiness Let’s Get Caffeinated stamp set is no exception!  There are plenty of nice, big stamps here, as well three coffee beans in various sizes, and even a little heart.  I combined this set with the Newton’s Nook “Newton Loves Coffee” stamp set, which is also available on Kat’s website.  Let’s go ahead and go through the steps I used to create this card.

     

    I first started by creating a focal piece using a rectangle of white card stock and my images.  I stamped the cat image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink because I knew I would be using my Copic alcohol markers to color it.  For the sentiment, I used the gorgeous VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed it with Ranger Clear embossing powder.  You will see me using this combination time and again on my projects, but it really makes for a gorgeous sentiment!

     

    I wanted to incorporate some ink sponging on this card, so I selected a soft sky blue card stock and some Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  I had this adorable heart stencil in my stash and knew it would look perfect behind my kitty.  I concentrated the ink color in the two opposite corners, letting the color naturally fade out as it moved towards the center.  I really like using this simple trick to add just a bit of interest to my ink blending.

     

    To carry on with the heart theme, I used the heart stamp from Kat’s stamp set along with some of the gorgeous Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink.  The color is so rich and just the perfect shade of real red!  I also heat set the hearts with more of the Ranger Clear embossing powder, then fussy cut them out to add to my card.  I put tiny pieces of foam tape behind them to add a touch of dimension.

     

    Once my focal piece was colored and complete, I added a dark brown card stock as a mat layer.  I also did the same with my stenciled piece.  I really love how the mats make the layers stand out, as well as give the entire card a more cohesive look.

     

    For assembly, I added the stenciled background layer to a top-folding, white card base.  I also added a pretty strip of red card stock to tie in the reds I used on the focal piece.  I used some strips of foam tape to attach the panel for some subtle dimension.  When using multiple layers, it’s always best to break it up with some dimension as you build your card so that it doesn’t look bulky and jumbled.

     

    And that is my finished card!  I hope that you had fun following along with me this time, and that you found a little bit of inspiration.  I can’t wait to make more coffee themed cards with ALL of the great sentiments in the KS Let’s Get Caffeinated stamp set!  To pick up this set for yourself, I’ve added a shopping link below that’ll take you right to Kat’s website.  Don’t forget to use my coupon code “CYNTHIA10” to receive 10% off your order.  Happy shopping!

    Ready for Halloween!

    Hi Friends! kel here today to share a super fun Halloween card using the Toil and Trouble Layered stamp set =o) Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday and I actually leave a bunch of Halloween decorations up in my craft room and in my work office year-round because I love it that much! So I’m sooooo excited to be able to start sharing the Halloween goodness!!

    As much fun as coloring images with Copics is, sometimes it’s really nice to not color and this layered stamp set is just perfect for that! I actually worried that I wasn’t going to have enough shades of grey ink to work with, but ended up just using the same ink cube for all 3 layers… the layering of the ink created its own shading and I was so happily surprised!

    The sentiment was stamped with Memento black ink and the kitty is popped up on some 3d squares. I also put some mats behind him using the Stitched Scallop Oval dies. The last thing I did was add some of these amazing jewels to the card. I diecut (for the stitched edge) strips from some coordinating scrap paper with the long rectangular stitched die from the Crafters Essentials 1 dies (the one in the bottom left corner of the item image in the store). I added the Orange Jewels to the strips, and then the Black AB (Rainbow) Jewels to the top corner of the card to finish it off.

    Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!
