  • Glitter Christmas Tree Card

    Glitter Christmas Tree Card

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. I have one last Holiday card to share with you using the Christmas Tree Coverplate die with a fun technique. Below are the steps to create your own Holiday 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 – Diecut Christmas Tree Coverplate using White Cardstock (x3). Adhere all 3 layers together using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Trace the outline of the Tree on Metallic Kraft Cardstock. Trim it out adhere to the bottom of the Christmas Tree diecuts. Adhere the entire panel to the card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. (If you don’t want to fussy cut you could always trim the Metallic Kraft Cardstock to cover the entire diecut.)

    Step 3 – Apply Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew inside of the Tree only. While it is still wet sprinkle Glitter Powder. This will allow the glitter to stick to the Crystal Drops. Let dry.

    Step 4 – Diecut Merry Christmas With Shadow Die (only the word Merry) using Metallic Kraft Cardstock. Adhere to the card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 5 – For added interest and sparkle adhere White Diamond Sequins on the areas that has a ornament using a Crystal Katana and Collage Medium.

  • Copper and Gold | Holiday Cards in Metallics

    Copper and Gold | Holiday Cards in Metallics

    Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I have two more holiday cards, this time though, glowing in metallic colors – one in copper, one in gold. Let’s get started!

     

    My first card uses the new Kat Scrappiness “Ornament Strip Cover Plate Die.” This die lends itself to formal and boldly designed cards, for sure!

     

    I die cut the front of the card using this new Cover Plate die and some black glimmer card stock from my stash. This die cuts “like butter,” by the way, even through a heavy card stock  such as this. I backed the opening with copper metallic card stock. Next I stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from Kat‘s “Merry Critters” stamp set with clear embossing ink onto one of the Kat Scrappiness “Stitched Sentiments Dies” before heat setting it with copper embossing powder. A few of the copper sequins from the “Going Batty” sequin mix were the finishing touch.

     

    My second cards features the new Kat Scrappiness “Christmas Tree Cover Plate Die” .  This die creates an instant card just by its size!

    I again used some black glimmer card stock from my stash and die cut the front of the card using Kat’s new “Christmas Tree Cover Plate Die . I adhered this Christmas tree die cut over a layer of gold mirror glossy card stock. Similar to my first card, I stamped the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from Kat‘s “Merry Critters” stamp set with clear embossing inkonto one of the Kat Scrappiness “Stitched Sentiments Dies” before heat setting it with gold embossing powder. A few“Gold Jewels” finished this card.

  • Modern Christmas by Martha Lucia

    Hello Kat Scrappiness friends, Martha Lucia here with you! I have two Modern Christmas Cards. My first card was made with the negative pieces of the Christmas Tree Cover Plate. If you want to see the origin of this pieces, you can click here.

    I die cut the Christmas Tree Cover Plate onto Gold Glitter Sheet and before to move the die cut piece from the die, I pasted double sided foam tape over the large pieces and added a dot of glue over the small pieces. I placed the card base over the back side of the die and press it onto the die to transfer all the negative pieces.

    To finalize the card, I added a stamped sentiment and some flat sequins from the Golden Anniversary Sequins and some small greens from the Sparkling Wintergreen Mix, both from the Kat Scrappiness Collection.

    My next project is a colorful Christmas card that I made using the Merry Christmas Word Sentiment Shadow Die. The card base of my card is Call Me Clover Card stock. I cut a second layer using the same color of card stock and from it, I die cut the Shadow piece of the Merry Christmas Word Sentiment Shadow Die. Then I embossed this layer with a classic dotted embossing folder. I pasted the layer over the card base using double sided foam tape.

    I die cut the Merry Christmas Word using silver dotted glitter from Tim Holz and paste it trough the window created on the top layer. To finalize the card, I just added  two stamped images that I create with the Merry Critters Stamp set from Kat Scrappiness and colored with Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers.

    Thank you for stopping by and see you soon with more Christmas Inspiration.

  • Holidays in Blues and Grays

    Holidays in Blues and Grays

    Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I have two holiday cards with a “not-your-ordinary” color scheme. Blue and gray for the Holidays? Why not? Let’s get started!

    For this first card, I used the just-released “Christmas Tree Coverplate” die from Kat Scrappiness. Such a beautiful die and so easy to craft with! I die cut the “Christmas Tree Coverplate” out of steel gray card stock and then backed it with with a new-to-me acetate I got from Kat‘s shop, the Crafter’s Companion “Luxury Snowfall Acetate.” No need to add snow – it’s already printed on the acetate! Perfect for all those upcoming winter cards!

     

    I mounted this top layer over a baby blue card stock layer and then adhered everything to an A2 card base. I layered the “Happy Holidays” die sentiment with blue and white card stock, adhered it to the front, and then added a few Kat Scrappiness “White Snowflake Sprinkles” on the tree. Done, and so easy!

     

    For my second card, I used the “Pine Tree/ Icicle Duo Border Die” from Kat Scrappiness.

    This border die is like having two dies in one because when used upright, it cuts out a Pine Tree Border, and when flipped around, it creates an icicle border!

    For my card I used the die to create an icicle border, adding it to the top of a evergreen stenciled background. I used the Newton’s Nook Designs “Evergreen Stencil” and white pigment ink over blue-gray card stock to create my wintery backdrop. The white deer and snowy slope are from Kat’s “Crafters Essentials – Winter Dies”, and the silver embossed “warm winter wishes” is from the Lawn Fawn “Winter Scripty Sentiments.” Kat‘s “Sparkling Clear Jewels” completed this card.
