    Santa’s Helper Christmas Card-Are you Naughty or Nice?

    Hello friends!! It is Nora here on the blog with a simple Christmas card created with some of the NEW Kat Scrappiness Winter Release. I combined the little boy elf from the Santa’s Helper Stamp Set with the new Reindeer Games 6×6 Paper Pad for this holiday card.

    Here is how I created this card:

    • Die cut the checked paper from the Kat Scrappiness Reindeer Games 6×6 Paper Pad using the Deco Frame Nesting Die. I trimmed a smidge off of each side so that the card base would show on the edges. Adhere it to the front of an A2, top folding, white card.
    • Using the Kat Scrappiness Nesting Fish Tail Banner Dies, die cut a banner out of white cardstock. Adhere the banner to the front of the card as shown.
    • Stamp the elf and the sentiment from the NEW Kat Scrappiness Santa’s Helper Stamp Set onto white paper with black ink. Color the elf with markers. I used Copic markers for mine but you could color it in with any type of medium you might have. I also embellished the image with some white gel pen for the polka dots on the presents and silver glitter glue for the bells on his shoes.
    • With the Santa’s Helper Coordinating Dies, die cut the elf and the sentiment. Using foam adhesive, adhere the elf onto the banner. Adhere the sentiment underneath with liquid glue.

    • Using a clear sparkle pen, color over the hat and the red shirt for some sparkle and shine. Add glossy accents to the socks and green bow.
    • To complete the card, add some red and green sequins using the Kat Scrappiness Glitter Sequin Mix-Christmas and the card is complete.

    That is all from me today. Please be sure to check in to the Kat Scrappiness Blog for more amazing projects by the Design Team.

    Hello Crafty Friends!

    It’s Donna Idlet here, I hope you have enjoyed all month the Kat Scrappiness Creative Crew showing you their personal TOP FIVE FAVORITE Kat Scrappiness products, that we think you need in your craft room.  If you missed them, please check out the blog for more inspiration.

    I’m choosing these top five items, because I either love using them or use on most cards I create ….so without further ado, here it goes.

    Number 1:  Embossed Rectangle Die.  I love how this die, it leaves a beveled edge on the layer.

     

     

    Number 2:  Is the Rainbow bridge Sentiments and Rainbow Bridge Coordinating Die Set.  This set is perfect to send someone that has lost a furry family member.

    Here is a sample card I used all of these sets above.  You can find all the details of this card here.

     

    Number 3:  The Stitched Nesting Dome Dies is a favorite!  These dies are great for layering or using the largest die for a card base.

    Here is a sample of a card I used the Stitched Nesting Dome Dies as a card base.  You can find the details of this card here.

    Number 4:  Large Merry Christmas with Shadow.  I love all of Kat Scrappiness words with shadows, the large ones are so nice because you can create a card just with the word dies.

    Here is a sample of a card I created using the Large Merry Christmas Die with Shadow.  You can find the details of this card here.

    Number 5:  My last item that is a must to have in your crafty room is the Christmas Gnome Stamp Set with Coordinating Dies.  Those of you who may follow me, know I love to create cards with gnomes and coffee.  Well, this set has it all!  You can find all the details of this card here.

     

    BONUS!  Another favorite of mine is Kat Scrappiness Teflon Bone Folder & Rainbow Ombre Reverse Connecting Lock Craft Tweezer.  I use these items in almost every card I create.

    Happy Monday Crafters. Crystal here and today I am sharing a fun Gnome card I created using several Kat Scrappiness Products!

     

    For this creation I used the NEW Snowy Layering Christmas Tree Dies. Create your own fun layered Christmas Tree with a layer of snow over it.  Decorate it with the ornaments and decorations that are included in this set. I just LOVE this die set, here is everything that is included when you purchase it!

     

     

    I also used this fun gnome from the Christmas Gnome Stamp Set. I thought he was the perfect image to use with this tree. Check out how CUTE this set is!

     

     

    Don’t forget to check out the coordinating dies, you can find those HERE! Kat Scrappiness dies are high-quality steel and are compatible with all industry standard die cutting machines!

    I also used the A2 Quilted Backdrop Die to create this card. The A2 Quilted Backdrop Die creates such a stunning and elegant background for your A2 sized cards.

     

     

    The quilted pattern is beautifully stitched with an embossed dot where the stitched lines meet. You can embellish those dots with your favorite Kat Scrappiness rhinestones, sequins, pearls, etc for an added touch or just use them as is with the embossed dot. I hot foiled this die with gold foil. I love how it turned out.

    Lastly I used the sentiment Happy Holidays from the sentiment stamp set Reindeer Games. The NEW Reindeer Games Stamp Set features 21 stamps which includes 14 sentiment stamps.  The remaining stamps are snowflakes of different sizes and designs.

    Let’s Combine Products from the New Release!

    Good morning my crafty peeps!  Kathy here on the blog today.  Today I am showing you how to combine products from the new release.  Today I am using four of the new release products and end up with a beautiful result. Please let me know what you think about the card in the comments below.  Today’s card features the Snowflake Frame Backdrop die, the Reindeer Duo dies, the Birch Tree with Cardinals Background and the Gift Card Pocket die.  So let’s make a card!

    Card Details

    1. Cut, score and fold an A2 side-folding card base from white card stock.
    2. Cut a panel, measuring 4.25” X 5.5” from a dark blue card stock.
    3. Using the Snowflake Frame Backdrop, die-cut using white, layering card stock.  Glue this to the dark blue panel.  Then glue the entire panel to the card base.  I used Bearly Arts Glue which is available in the Kat Scrappiness store.  I used the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Santa’s Helper stamp set and stamped in a coordinating blue ink.
    4. Now, using the Reindeer Duo dies, cut 4 of the large deer.  Glue these together with liquid glue.
    5. From a piece of white card stock, die-cut the Gift Card Pocket die.  I will use the stitched panel from this set for the BACK of the pocket.
    6. Using your favorite blending inks blend the background.  I used Distress Oxide Faded Jeans.  I ink-blended from the top down and used a heavier pressure on the top.  Add double sided adhesive tape to the scored edges and adhere to the stitched Gift Card Pocket panel. I used a white gel pen to add snow to the background.
    7. Die-cut the Birch Tree with Cardinals Backdrop.  I am using just a couple of the trees in my background.  So you really don’t need to cut the whole panel.  I added some shading to the left side of the trees and a few black lines on the tree with a fine tipped pen.
    8. Next I cut a simple hill from white card stock.
    9. Glue your trees to the ink-blended Gift Card.
    10. I used a blue grey alcohol marker to add some shadow under the legs of the deer.
    11. Next, glue the legs of the deer to the hill.  Add foam tape to the back of the deer and hill and adhere to the card pocket.
    12. Finally I added some Sparkling Snow White Pearls around the card.

    I love how the card turned out and I love the blue against the white.  Please stop by the Kat Scrappiness Store to see all of the new releases.  And don’t forget the Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sale currently going on.  Thank you for stopping by!

    Hello Friends!! Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Are your friends and family bugging you for some ideas? Nora here with a few of my FAVORITE Kat Scrappiness products for the Creative Crew’s 2022 Holiday Gift Guide. The entire Design Team is sharing their favorite products so be sure to check back to the Kat Scrappiness Blog for some fabulous ideas!!!

    Here are my favorite TOP FIVE ITEMS from Kat Scrappiness that I think are must haves for any collection.

    Number ONE on my list are the Stitched Nesting Dome Dies.

    I love these dies because you can use them in so many ways. You can make a window in a card front, add a punched hole to make a tag or even flip them the die over like I did below to create a fun backdrop for a card.

    Number TWO on my list is the Stitched Scalloped Collage Frame Die.

    I love this die because you can take smaller stamped images or small die cuts and layer them with in to create a collage. It is a way to stretch your products, using the tiny elements that you might otherwise overlook.

    Number THREE on my list are the Heart Donut Builder Dies.

    These dies can be used on all sorts of cards!! You could use some of the elements to create Christmas cookies, or flip the the frosting over and combine with a cup to make whip cream for hot chocolate. The ideas are ENDLESS!!!

    Number FOUR on my favorite things list are the Never Ending Circle Dies.

    A set of circle dies like these are ESSENTIAL in any collection. I use this type of die the most, whether it is to cut out images for layering or taping together to make a circle frame. Below I used the dies to create a simple word ballon for my sleeping cat.

    Number FIVE on my list are the simplest of all to give-Kat Scrappiness Gift Cards!!!

    Gift cards are the BEST because you or your crafty friends can buy whatever you would like!!! They start at $10 and can be bought for as much as you want. You can use them on anything in the Kat Scrappiness Shop. One of the EASIEST gift buying option there is!!!

    Classic Gold Poinsettia Card

    Hello crafty friends!! Sammi here sharing a card made with goodies from the NEW RELEASE just released this weekend!! I am in LOVE with the new release! I decided to play with the new Layered Poinsettia Dies paired with the Reindeer Games paper pad and the Christmas Foliage Dies. I wanted a classic look, so I went with the traditional Christmas colors and golds for this card. Here is how I made it:

    1. First I cut the card panel with the A2 Quilted Backdrop with some olive green cardstock I had in my stash. I then cut a piece of gold metallic cardstock with the largest piece from the Nesting Fishtail Banner Dies and then cut the red snowflake paper from the Reindeer Games 6×6 paper pad with the next size in the banner set. I then glued the red banner onto the gold banner and then glued it onto the green card panel.
    2. I then cut out the poinsettia with the new Layered Poinsettia Dies with some gold glitter cardstock using all of the poinsettia dies EXCEPT the larger piece. I wanted a smaller poinsettia, so I chose not to use the largest piece. I then layered the pieces on top of each other adding some foam tape to add some depth. I then cut out the center with the olive green cardstock and added some gold Wink Of Stella to add some sparkle and glued it in the center using some Bearly Art Glue and then glued it onto the upper left side of the banner.
    3. I then cut out the twigs with the Christmas Foliage Dies using olive green cardstock and gold metallic cardstock and adding some gold Wink of Stella. I also cut out the Joy with the new Joy Word w/ Shadow die with red cardstsock and white cardstock, also using the gold Wink of Stella on the red cardstock. I then glued the foliage onto the card panel and popped the Joy on top of the foliage with foam tape.
    4. To complete the look and add some sparkle, I added some Gold Pearl Mix embellishments and then glued the card panel onto a card base.

    I love how this card came out! It has that classic look I was going for and it is so beautiful!! Here is what you need to make this card:
