    Hello everybody! I am excited to stop by today and share another card I’ve created using fabulous products from Kat Scrappiness. Today’s card is a Congratulations card. I am planning on sending it off to a wonderful young man who will be graduating this year.

    My card is an A7 card which measures 5″ X 7″. I started off my creating my card base using 110lb. Neenah Solar White Card Stock. I then cut down a piece of black card stock to measure 4-7/8″ X 6-7/8″, followed by another piece of white card stock to measure 4-3/4″ X 6-3/4″.

    I took my 4-3/4″ X 6-3/4″ piece of white card stock and using some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks and the Dad’s Tools 6X8 Layered Stamp Set by Kat Scrappiness, I stamped the nails across the card stock.

    I knew that I wanted to add more color to my card, so using the star from the Swatches 3X4 Clear Stamp Set by Kat Scrappiness and some more Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink, I stamped stars throughout.

    I also decided that I wanted to use the sentiment, “you nailed it!” from the Dad’s Tools 6X8 Layered Stamp Set on my card as well. I stamped it in the lower right hand corner using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink.

    Now for the “Congrats”…. I decided to go with a bright blue glittered card stock and die cut the letters out using the Condensed Uppercase Alphabet Dies from Kat Scrappiness.

    Once my letters were adhered, I finished off the card by choosing and adding a few of the different sequins from the Turquoise Sunrise Sequin Mix – Shaker Card Fillers by Kat Scrappiness. I added these pieces to the bottom right portion of my card around the sentiment.

    And now my card is complete!! I hope that you enjoyed this quick tutorial and it has helped inspire you to create your own special card as well.  I will list all of the supplies I have used to create this card below.

    “You Nailed It!” Congratulations Card

    Hello, crafters!  Thank you for joining me today for this fun card featuring Kat’s “Dad’s Tools” Stamp Set and Stitched Fishtail Banner Dies.  After walking you through the basic steps of this card, please be sure to watch my YouTube video for a detailed look at my process.  So let’s get started.

     

    For my card base I’m using a top-folding A2 size card, which is the standard 4.25 x 5.5.”  I cut two pieces of patterned paper, layering the polka dot piece over the tiled piece and then tearing a diagonal strip along one edge.  This is such a pretty effect and is really quite easy to do, as long as you tear slowly and keep a good hold on the paper.  This paper has a white core, so the torn edge is highlighted nicely.

     

    After a bit of experimenting, I came up with the idea to create a focal panel of nails.  I used a square die with a stitched edge detail to cut the panel, then stamped and heat embossed the nails with silver embossing powder.  I stamped my hammer with two brown inks for the handle and more silver heat embossing for the hammer head.  I chose to pop up the hammer on foam tape for a little dimension.  This stamp set is so cute, don’t you think?

     

    I chose the “You Nailed It!” sentiment, which fit perfectly in the second smallest Stitched Fishtail Banner die.  This pretty blue paper is the backside to the polka dot paper so it was a perfect match to my project (thank goodness for double-sided papers!)  I heat set it again with that bright silver powder, then hand cut a white mat for the banner to attach to.

     

    And that is my finished card!  I hope that you enjoyed following along with me for this project, and that you give this stamp set a try.  Although it’s a layering stamp set, you can simplify the steps as much as you’d like, or go all-out and create realistic images!  I encourage you to get yourself those banner dies, too.  They will fit MANY different sentiments from tons of different stamp sets, and are such an easy way to add a sentiment to your card front anywhere you’d like it.  Be sure to check out my video to see the entire project from start to finish.  Happy crafting!

    Happy Birthday Mr. Fix It!

    I love tools that have fun colors!  Today’s card is clean and simple using the new Dad’s Tools layering stamp set along with some Lawn Fawn inks.  Perfect for upcoming Father’s Day or your favorite guy’s birthday.

     

    I knew I wanted to do some kind of grid with the screwdriver stamp, so I arranged the different screwdrivers around the sentiments I wanted to use.  The front of the stamp package is perfect for this because everything stays put as you’re arranging.

     

    This is a peek at all the inks I used.  I only used 2 layers to stamp the handle this time.  For the bottom of the screwdriver, I used the 2 gray inks at the end.  I double stamped the Manatee ink to get a darker color for my 2nd layer.

    A stamp platform is always handy for this type of precision stamping.

    After getting all my images stamped onto my white panel, I arranged it at an angle with some repositionable tape on to the front of a blue notecard covered in patterned paper.  I trimmed off the excess with my scissors and popped the panel up with foam tape.

    I added some Blue Steel sequins using mini glue dots and Ranger Multi Medium Matte.

    Thanks so much for joining me today.  All supplies I used from the Kat Scrappiness shop are listed below.

    Watercoloring with Distress Inks

    Hi there! Hannah here! 😀 Today I have a technique video to share!

    I created this card and I thought I’d show you how! Watercoloring with Distress Inks is one of my favorite techniques the colors stay true to the ink, and the ink moves so wonderfully. You can dilute it as much as you want, or keep it as strong and rich as you wish.

    This card was the perfect reason to showcase Kat’s new Stitched Flag Dies! The sentiment I used is from the new Dad’s Tools stamp set, which just shows you how versatile the set is!

    Have a quick look at my video!

    I hope you enjoyed my card(s) and my video. I also hope that you took my mistakes to heart, it is just paper and it is a great learning experience!

    This has been Hannah Rubenstahl, of Fanciful Spaces, hoping you have a crafty day, and if you need any of the products I used, feel free to use my discount code: Hannah10!

    Masculine Cards- Dad’s Tools

    May 23, 2018

    2 Comments

    Hi everyone, it’s Caren.  Anyone else struggle to make masculine cards?  My style leans towards cutesy and flowers,  so it’s a struggle for me.  Kat Scrappiness has a new stamp  set out this month that will help with those masculine cards – Dad’s Tools.  This is laying stamp set which features several tools with some great sentiments.

    I’ve have two cards today featuring this set.  On both cards, I used two layers of the nail stamps to create the background.  These two stamps were easy to line up and took little time to create these backgrounds.


    For the first card, I stamped the layered nail for the background.  I then cut the Kat Scrappiness Happy Fathers Day die out three times – twice in black and once in a silver mirror card stock.  I adhered the two black die cuts together.  I then offset the silver mirror die cut onto the black to make the sentiment stand out more.  The “you nailed it” sentiment is from the Dad’s Tool stamp set.  I stamped it in Versamark ink onto black card stock,  covered it in silver embossing powder, and then heat set it.  There is also a little sneak peak on this card of something being released in June!


    On the second card, I again stamped the layered nail for the background.  I stamped the hammers and screwdriver onto white cardstock and cut them out by hand.  The hammer head, hammer handle, screwdriver, and screwdriver handle each have four layers.  I used various brown and gray ink for the layers.   The sentiment is from the Dad’s Tool stamp set.  I stamped it in Versamark ink onto gray card stock,  covered it in black embossing powder, and then heat set it.

    Use code caren10 for a 10% discount in the Kat Scrappiness shop.

    Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!

    Rainbow Polka Dot Flags Card

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here today. The new Stitched Flags dies from Kat Scrappiness are so much fun to play with. Once I selected my rainbow colors for my Stitched Flags I created a simple matching rainbow background using the Distress Oxide Inks. My card is also using the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles Die and Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set for the sentiment. Below you will find the easy steps to replicate this card.

    • Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold in half for a horizontal side fold card (A2)
    • Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. Apply Distress Oxide ink directly to cardstock using a mini blending tool. I applied 5 colors to create a rainbow. The colors I used are Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, Picked Raspberry & Wilted Violet. I sprayed some water to create an oxidized effect. Once dry Diecut Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles to the background.
    • Step 3 – Apply anti static powder to the bottom left of the Distress Oxide Ink background. Stamp Everyday Brush Stroke sentiment stamp using Versamark Ink. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder, remove the excess then heat set it with a heat tool. Adhere the background to card using Scor-Tape.
    • Step 4 – Diecut Stitched Flags using Polka Dot Patterned Paper in five colors and 3 sizes each color. Adhere the largest Stitched Flag first using Scor-Tape, then middle size and then small size on top. You may want to layer them first before adhering to figure out the placement.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card. This card can be used for any occasion by changing the colors and/or sentiment. All products used are linked below. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
