    Wine Cards with the September Release by Maria

    Hello Kat Scrappiness fans! Maria here with you today with some simple cards featuring the new Peacock Backdrop die, the Wine Not stamp set and the Wine Not Custom craft dies.

     

    For my first card, I started out by die-cutting the Peacock Backdrop die some Bristol smooth white card stock.  I inked up this piece with some squeezed lemonade, spiced marmalade and picked raspberry distress oxide inks with my mini ink blending tool.  I set this piece aside to dry while I worked on die-cutting the Wine Not Custom craft dies.  I used Neenah smooth white card stock to color the bottle with my Copic markers and used a silver card stock for the wine glass.  I added glossy accents to make it look more realistic.   I also die-cut a frame by using the double stitched rectangle die and the stitched rectangle die.  Here’s the first card:

     

     

     

     

    I adorned my card with some images from a stamp set by Newton’s Nook and also added the beautiful Champagne jewels.  I love the new jewels collection from the shop.  They are available in a variety of colors.  Here’s another look:

     

     

    For my second card, I die-cut the pieces again with some Neenah solar white card stock and colored the die-cut pieces with my Copic markers.  I inked up an A2 size piece of some Bristol smooth white card stock with a stencil from my stash.   I stamped the sentiment from the Wine Not stamp set.  Here’s my second card:

     

     

     

    To finish the design, I also added the cheers sentiment from my stash and the tiny bow is from a die-set by Lawn Fawn.  Here’s another look:

     

     

     

    For my third card, I wanted to create something simple just using the Wine Not stamp set.  I die-cut a piece of some Neenah solar white card stock with the Stitched Fancy Scalloped rectangle die.  I colored the images in with my Copic markers.  To finish my design, I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink.

    I hope you like my cards today.  Which one is your favorite?  The supplies I used are listed and linked below.  Don’t forget to use my coupon code “MARIA10” for 10% off your order at the shop.  Have a nice day!

    Wine Not

    Hello everyone!  Have you seen the latest items released from Kat Scrappiness?  On today’s card, I’m featuring several of these new products.  My favorite – the Peacock Backdrop die – it is so beautiful and elegant.  I’m going to have to resist using it on every card!

    For the back panel of this card, I used the double stitched circles from Kat Scrappiness to cut out a circle on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of kraft cardstock.  Behind this I layered a piece of deep purple card stock die cut using the Peacock Backdrop die.  Behind this I added a piece of dark gray card to match the Wine Not sentiment I heat embossed on to the panel.  I used the Wine Not dies to create the wine bottle.  I found a piece of patterned paper that had script writing on it – I thought this was perfect for the body of the wine bottle.  I popped that up on the card using adhesive foam tape.

    I added silver jewels on the wine bottle and sparkling clear jewels on the peacock backdrop to give a little sparkle to the card.  I thought the card was missing something in the upper right corner so I add three drops of the clear glass drops by Fabrika.

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina. Today I am sharing a card I made using the new Peacock Backdrop Die along with the Let’s Get Caffeinated Stamp Set. 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. (A2).

    Step 2 – Trim Brown Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″, or create your own using Distress Oxide Ink Walnut Stain.

    Step 3 – Diecut Peacock Backdrop to Kraft Cardstock. Remove all the small pieces and adhere to Cardstock from Step 2 using Collage Medium. (I use the Darice Fine Tip Applicator on the Collage Medium for easy application).

    Step 4 – Trim Stripe Patterned Paper to 1 3/4″ x 4 1/4″. Adhere to card using Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape.

    Step 5 – Stamp Let’s Get Caffeinated on Kraft Cardstock using Versamark. Sprinkle Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it with a heat tool. Diecut Never Ending Circles to the sentiment. Diecut Stitched Scalloped Circles Die using Brown Cardstock, or create your own using Distress Oxide Ink Walnut Stain. Adhere sentiment to the Stitched Scalloped Diecut using Collage Medium. Adhere the whole panel to the card using foam tape.

    Step 6 – For added interest adhere hearts or sequins above the sentiment.

    This card can be used for any occasion by changing the image, colors and/or sentiment. Below are links to all the products used. To receive 10% off your order use code: TINA10 at checkout. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

    Coffee Card with a Video

    Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans!  It’s Lisa here today and I wanted to share a coffee card that I made that has a fun technique to go with it! I used the Fabrika Decoru Enamel Drops to make that cute heart embellishment for the front of the coffee cup.  I have a video for you to watch that shows exactly how I made it.  Some of the artisan coffee shops have the ability to put cool designs into the foam that you see on top of their drinks.  This technique I will show you mimics that look and can be reproduced on your cards!  The Fabrika drops are available in so many colors so the sky is the limit to what you can create!
    For my card I used one of the new stamp sets that was just released in the shop called
    Let’s Get Caffeinated.  I stamped one of the cute sentiments onto a
    Stitched Scalloped Nesting Tag die with some Distress Ink in Ground Espresso.  I tied a twine bow with multiple layers so it would really have some dimension.  I placed the Layered Coffee Cup die with the Fabrika heart embellishment on the front of the card and the sentiment on some foam tape and the card was done.  The background of the card was cut with the largest die from the Stitched Scalloped Rectangles in some pretty polka dot paper.
    The assembly of the card was fairly easy so I won’t go into too much detail in this post.  The technique with the Fabrika enamel drops is easier explained in the video.

    Peacock cover die feature by Jo Herbert

    Hi all, Jo here welcome to a cardset creation using the latest Peacock cover die just released this month.  I have done something a little different where I have I used the cover die as a card base front. To achieve this cardbase I played around with my “bigshot sandwich” .

    When running through the cutting mat in the big shot make sure you place your cutting mat so it is not covering the whole die. This technique is called “partial die cutting”.  See below the picture where I have shown where I have placed my cutting mat.

    I have also heat embossed with WOW! Embossing Powder Bright White Opaque & Metallic Rich Gold embossing powders on the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Scalloped Heart Dies the sentiments.  The stampset I have chosen for this cardset is the Neat & Tangled Love Notes where I have heat embossed with the add-on sentiments as well.

    On the hearts I have ink blended with a heavy hand on the outer edge of the hearts working with a lighter hand towards the centre for a more gradient look.

    On one of the cards I have heat embossed the outer edges of the scalloped hearts to add a faux layer to the die cut.

    To finish the card off I have stuck the heart die cut has been foam mount directly on the card front.

    This card set is quick and easy and can be made in bulk.

    Hope you enjoyed today’s card set. To see this card made I have created a Youtube of the card making process.

    To get 10% off your entire order in the Kat Scrappiness store use jo10 on checkout.

    Happy papercrafting

    Hugs

    Jo

    Sequins Galore with Jess Crafts

    Hello crafty friends! I’m so excited to show you one of the Kat Scrappiness die sets from the August release. The Stitched Diagonal Background is so simple but has great details. I’m also using some stamps from the Crafters Gonna Craft stamp set. The design team has already shared a lot of great cards with these stamps and dies so be sure to check them out in the store.

    I love to create multiple cards from one diecutting and this die was perfect for that. I was able to cut it once out of pink then purple then blue and rearrange the pieces to make 3 cards. Once I had my panels cut I used from Distress Oxide inks to stamp the sequins from the Crafters Gonna Craft stamp set. The sentiment is from the Sunny Studio Born to Sparkle stamp set. I have a full video tutorial for two of the cards that you can watch below or on YouTube.

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNiFQdB4eX8]

    Even though there was stamped sequins on the card I knew these cards wouldn’t be finished without some actual sequins. I went through my sequin stash to find some coordinating colors and picked out sequins from Breakfast at Tiffanys, Rock Candy, Boo Who, and Ghostly Greetings. It was a good example of how sequins can be used outside their mixes if needed which really adds value to them.
