    KatScrappiness – Witches Skirt, Bats and Spooky Sparkles!

    Hi everyone, it’s #AJBodine here as part of the brand new #designteam here at #KatScrappiness.  We’re kicking off the Fall/Halloween season off with a bang!  Today I’m showing you a few of the new, seasonal products that I’ve used on this fun Halloween card, so let’s get started!

    dsc_0017

    I started with a black 5×5 cardstock base and drew a dot and dash line with my #WhiteGelUniball pen.  I then cut a few extra, slightly smaller layers.  My top, purple layer is where I decided to use the #Bats2 Stencil by #EchoParkPaperCo. with a little #WiltedViolet #distressink to do a tone on tone.  I also hit the edges with a tiny bit of #Blacksoot #DistressInk for a little extra shade around the outside of the purple layer.  I love using #stencils to create my own custom papers!

    Then came the fun part where I cut out this #WitchesSkirt by #CheeryLynnDesigns .  I had never used this brand before, so I was so excited about the quality of the cut and the cuteness of the design!!  After cutting it out in black for my base, I cut the top part out of the orange swirl to add the words “Happy Halloween” and the bottom in white to make those rockin’ striped socks!

    Lastly I added some of #KatScrappiness gorgeous #sequins from the #SpookySparkle mix and some lime green eyelash yarn across the top for added fun!

    I hope you’ve enjoyed my project, thank you for stopping by today!  Stay tuned for more this month from our creative DT, using seasonal products found at Kat Scrappiness Store – Click Here to Shop!

    Amanda AJ Bodine

    Hello, my name is AJ. I’m a native of the midwest, U.S., but relocated to the Carolinas years ago. I’m married to Rob and together we have a high school aged son and 2 spoiled rotten rescue dogs! I’ve always been a crafty person, but once introduced to stamping a few years back, papercrafting quickly became my favorite way to get creative! I love spending time in my studio, listening to podcasts and drinking a cup of tea while I color. As for other hobbies, I love to travel. In fact if I didn’t have so much stuff, I’d really prefer to wander over living in the same place. My life’s dream is to spend a year, visiting every minor and major league baseball field, taking in a game or two.

My grandmom taught me to sew when I was 8 years old on her old treadle sewing machine. Throughout the years, I’ve continued to sew and got into other types of crafting. About 15 years ago, I got hooked on scrapbooking, and about two years ago cardmaking.

    Josefine Josefine Fouarge

    Hi, I’m Josefine. I was born in Germany but moved to the US about two years ago. I’m living with my husband and our little Rat Terrier in California. Both are very supportive of my hobby 🙂 I started crafting about the same time I came over here. I was bored while waiting for my Green Card, so I started watching YouTube videos and got hooked on cardmaking. Now I’m also interested in mixed media and art journaling. I’m super excited to be part of the Kat Scrappiness Design Team and can’t wait to share all the creations with you.

    Taniesa VlasakTaniesa Vlasak – Special Project Coordinator

    Hi! My name is Taniesa Vlasak and I have been papercrafting since I was a little girl. What began as a sticker, stamp, and stationery obsession at just 7 years old grew into a love of scrapbooking, art journaling, cardmaking and other papercrafting fun! There is nothing like playing with new art supplies and I get so excited now as I did back then.
    We have recently moved from California to Washington state and with the wetter weather outside is the perfect excuse for more crafty time inside! I am incredibly blessed to be designing for Kat Scrappiness as well as Honey Bee Stamps! You can visit me on my blog at www.thecraftypickle.com and on Instagram (@Taniesa).
