    October Card Challenge Inspiration

    Hello there everyone!  It’s Sheri Gilson here and I am the host for the October Challenge.  I hope you will join in on the fun!  The challenge is to create a Halloween or Thanksgiving themed card.  All you need to do to WIN $20 is create a project with at least 2 Kat Scrappiness Products! Head to the store HERE and grab some goodies and play.  Here is my card for your inspiration

    To make my card I used the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Never Ending Dies to cut out my background panel, I then ink blended a combination of Distress Oxide Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey and a touch of Ground Espresso. I then attached it to a brown mat. Next I stamped a few images from the Kat Scrappiness Dress Up Quokkas, Thanksgiving Costume Add-On and Thanksgiving Gnomes stamp sets with Amalgam Obsidian ink and used copic markers to color. Then I cut the images out with the coordinating dies and a few were fussy cut. You will also need to die cut a few trees from Crafter’s Essential Halloween die set.

    To finish off my card, I assemble my little scene. Some of the images are popped up with foam tape for dimension. I picked one of the sentiments from the Thanksgiving Gnomes stamp set and embossed it in white on a piece of brown card stock. For embellishment I added a few Clear and Solid Round Confetti. I then popped up the stamped panel onto a kraft card base measuring 6″ x 3 1/2″ (6″ x 7″, scored at 3 1/2″).

    Happy Halloween Mini Slimline Card

    Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. I have a fun Halloween card to share with you using the new Haunted House Add On and the Boo-gy Ghosts. Below you will find the steps to create your own card.

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 7” x 6”, score at 3 1/2” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (Mini Slimline)

    Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 3 1/2” x 6”. Apply Distress Oxide Ink starting from the bottom up using Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot. Spray some water and wait 15 seconds then remove the excess using a Paper Towel. Let dry then adhere to card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    Step 3 – Diecut Home Sweet Home (base) using Black Cardstock. Trim off the left side and adhere to card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    Step 4 – Diecut Haunted House Add On using Black Cardstock. Add Orange Cardstock to the back of the windows and adhere the windows, door, fence to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    Step 5 – Diecut Boo-gy Ghosts using White Cardstock and adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    Step 6 – Diecut Creepy Crawly (web and spider) using Black Cardstock. Trim the web and adhere to top left corner and the spider at the roof on the right side using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    Step 7 – Diecut Happy Halloween (word only) 3 times using White Cardstock. Adhere each layer to stack them for dimension then adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    This card was so much fun to put together. You could always use the full house to create a house shaped card instead by diecutting the house with a cardstock base folded and placing the die slightly inwards from the fold. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

    Colorful Little Mail

    Hello Friends Waleska Galindo here, today I want to share with you a cute card using small dies.  This mini slimline card is a card you can easy mass produce and just change the sentiment. I hope you like it and can be inspired by it!

    CARD DETAILS:

    I started by diecutting the base for my card I used the Mini Slimline Scalloped Edge with kraft cardstock I then cut with white cardstock a rectangle from the Mini Slimline Never Ending Die.  I used a stamp for the splash of color, I used lawn fawn inks,I wanted to have a pastel look but you can use any color combination for different occasions to create this card.

    I die cut three of the mini envelopes that come with the Happy Mail Mini Slimline Die with white cardstock, they look so cute I also added a gold heart on each.  There are four different types of envelopes that come on this die set.  I adhere them with foam tape to the card base and added the sentimet.

    You can use the new Mini Slimline envelope die to create the perfect envelope for this card too.  Thank you so much for stopping by today,  I hope you have a wonderful day!

    Happy Halloween

    Happy Monday everyone!  I’ve got a fun and spooky mini slimline Halloween card to start off your week.

    I started the card by ink blending the front panel of my slimline card (3.5 x 6 inches) with distress oxide inks – Carved Pumpkin, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves, and Black Soot.  I used a spray bottle on the panel to make the panel splotchy.  I then die cut all the pieces (except the pumpkin) from the Crafters Essentials Halloween die set.  I inked up the edges of the tomb stones with Black Soot and did a little ink blending on the moon with Wild Honey.  I adhered the tree, fence, and moon directly to the panel with liquid adhesive.  I added dimensional adhesive to the tombstones and bats.  I stamped my sentiment – Happy Halloween – from the Toil & Trouble Layered stamp set to finish the card.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Thanksgiving Gnomes

    Hello Friends!  Today’s post features a sweet Gnome couple and a Cheeky Turkey!  I’ve created a fun Thanksgiving card using the “Thanksgiving Gnomes” Stamp Set.  This set does have a Coordinating Die Set also.

    I’ve colored the images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and fussy cut them.  I don’t have the coordinating dies but the images are easy to cut out.  Before adhering to the card base, I popped the characters up using craft foam for that bit of dimension.  The papers are from the Echo Park “Celebrate Autumn” 6×6 paper pad.
    Lastly, I’ve added some translucent gold sequins for shine and called this card finished.  The turkey is my favorite; his expression is priceless….I think he’s a bit P.O’d.
    I would like to remind you of the Adhesives Sale that is valid until 30 September.  Kat Scrappiness has a whole line of adhesives and they’re all On Sale!
    Thanks for visiting.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
