Boo
Happy Wednesday everyone. It’s Caren here on the blog today. I have a fun Halloween edge to edge shaker card for you today using lots of Kat Scrappiness products!

Here is how I created the card:
- Die cut a piece of pattern paper from the Creepy & Kooky patterned paper using the stitched rectangle die
- Use a piece of cellophane and adhere it to three sides of the stitched panel
- Add the sequins, I added Halloween Night, All Hallows Eve, Small Silver Stars, and Mirrored Clear Starlight sequins
- Adhere the last side to the back of the panel
- Layer this panel to a black piece of card stock
- Die cut another piece of pattern paper from the Creepy & Kooky patterned paper using the Embossed Edge Wavy Frame dies
- Layer the panel onto a A2 card base
- Die cut BOO from black card stock using the Condensed Lowercase Alphabet dies
- Adhere BOO to the shaker panel
Thanks for stopping by!

One Layer Beach Scene Card with Texture

Hi, this is Nicki from the design team! I’m excited to share this bright beach scene card with you today. For all the details make sure to check out the YouTube video on the Kat Scrappiness channel.

To start this card, you will need the A2 Waterside Die and the Condensed Lowercase Alphabet dies. You could color this card with any medium but I am going to use Copic Markers today with very fast coloring. I did long strokes to imitate all the changes/texture in the water and sand.

Once the coloring was complete, it was time to add texture with some embossing paste.

Once the embossing paste was dry, I could put the scene back together like a puzzle. Next, I used the lowercase condensed alpha “hi” to create an inlaid die cutting area. Foam tape was applied to pop up the letters.

Let me know what you think in the comments! All the supplies from Kat Scrappiness are listed below. For full list of copic markers, check out my IG @nickiheartscards. The links below provide a small commission to me at NO cost to you! Thank you for your support!!

Typographic Easter Card | Hop Into Easter Release | Call Me Crafty Al

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the tYpOgRaPhIc CaRd I made using some of the new products from Kat Scrappiness.

I used papers from the NEW Hop Into Easter paper pack for the letters and to cover my card front. The letters were cut using the Condensed Lowercase Alphabet die set.

I replaced the “o” in “hoppy” with a stamped and colored bunny from the Hippity Hoppity Bunnies stamp set and finished the sentiment using one of the stamps from the Hippity Hoppity Sentiments stamp set.

After the card was put together, I embellished it with some of the NEW Aqua AB Jewels.

You can check out my video for the full process…

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed today’s card!

Sealed With a Kiss
Happy Friday crafters, it’s Caren here on the blog today. I’ve got a sparkly card for you today!

I die cut the Smooches cover plate with black card stock and did not punch out the lip pieces. I sprayed this with Sparkle Sheer Shimmer spray that the picture doesn’t pick up. I then die cut the lips that come with the Smooches cover plate from red card stock. I added sparkle to the lips using a Spectrum Noir sparkle pen and added glossy accents to make them shine. I die cut SWAK (Sealed with a Kiss) from silver sparkle paper using the condensed lowercase alphabet dies.

I wish the camera could capture all the sparkle on this card. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

Sushi for Dad

Hello it’s Lisa here today from Oh So Cute By Lisa!

Now that Mother’s Day 2020 is in the books it’s time to prepare for Father’s Day and at

Kat Scrappiness there is plenty of stamps and dies to help you out with that! Today I am up on the Kat Scrappiness blog with this sushi themed card and I used quite a few products from the shop.

I wanted to make a shaker card using the Condensed Lowercase Alpha dies and spell out the word “dad”. Since my dad loves sushi, I thought it would be fun to use the Wok On stamp set and

Sushi Sprinkles for my shaker card. The cute little rolls looked adorable on the top and bottom of the word dad, especially with 2 little dollops of ginger! I also outlined the letters with a white gel pen to make them stand out just a bit more.

This card was a lot of fun to make and I love the look of the letters holding the shaker bits.

I also love that you can have any theme you want for shaker bits. Kat Scrappiness carries so many different sprinkles and sequins you can literally make any theme card into a shaker! There is food themed sprinkles, animal themed sprinkles, floral themed sequins and so much more! If you haven’t ever looked through them all you really should!

Here is one more picture showing my card and all of the products I used:

Welcome Baby! | Personalizing Baby Cards

Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I thought I’d take a break in between all the Valentine’s Day cards and the upcoming Easter cards to show you a card I made for a friend’s new baby. Oftentimes I like to not only personalize the card with the baby’s name, but also to try to match the color scheme and theme of the baby’s nursery.

Colton’s nursery has an “outdoor adventure” theme and with colors found in this crib bedding pictured below . . .

I used two die collections from Kat Scrappiness to create this card. Let’s get started!

I started out by stenciling a white card base with a birch tree stencil, using medium gray ink. Then I die cut the trees from the Kat Scrappiness “Crafters Essentials-Winter” die collection onto lime green card stock. I used white acrylic paint to add “snow” to the branches and a white “Jelly Roll” pen to add some additional flakes.

Next I cut out the baby’s name using textured teal card stock and the Kat Scrappiness “Condensed Lowercase Alphabet Dies.” I centered and adhered them over the trees. I die cut a “Welcome” sentiment from the same teal card stock and placed it at the top of my card.

Next, I carried the color scheme and theme through to the inside of the card using the trees, plus the hills and deer from the same Kat Scrappiness “Crafters Essentials-Winter” die set.

There you have it.! A personalized card to welcome baby and hopefully provide a bit of decor for the nursery for months to come.

Thanks for stopping by! And don’t forget to check out what’s NEW in Kat’s Shop, and follow my blog and Instagramfor more “Kat Scrappiness Amazingness”!

Quick Cards using Coverplate Dies
Happy Monday everyone! It’s Caren on the Kat Scrappiness blog today with some fun and quick cards coverplate and alphabet dies from Kat Scrappiness.

My first card uses the Fancy Floral coverplate die. I die cut it our of white card stock and adhered it to a piece of pink glitter card stock. I then die cut my letters for Hello using the Condensed Lowercase Alpha dies from gray card stock. I lined them up how I wanted them on the card and used foam adhesive to adhere them to my panel.

For my second card, I die cut the Star Fusion Coverplate die from white card stock. I blended five different Distress Oxide inks (in rainbow order) for the back panel. I used the same Condensed Lowercase Alpha dies to cut out the word Thanks from gray card stock. I then adhered them to my panel using foam adhesive.

Personalizing Birthday Cards with Alpha and Number Dies | Giveaway!
Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I thought I’d take a break from Holiday cards to show you two cards I made for recents birthdays for friends and family members. What’s unique about them is that they are personalized to the recipients using alphabet dies to spell out their names, and in my first case, adding numeric dies to give a “shout out” to the BIG 4-0 birthday year the recipient was celebrating . Both dies set are from Kat Scrappiness. And stay tuned. At the end of this blog post, you can find out how to win a set of Kat’s “Condensed Number” dies on my accompanying post on “Nubble Light Designs.”

Let’s get started!

For my first card, I used the Kat Scrappiness “Condensed Lowercase Alphabet Dies” and the “Condensed Number Dies.”

Working with alpha and number dies can be tricky in terms of aligning them on your card front perfectly straight. “Purple Tape” to the rescue!

I spelled out the recipient’s name and birthday year on black card stock using the ruler that came with my glass craft mat and then quickly taped them together and down onto the card stock using iCraft’s 1/2 inch “Purple Tape.” What a lifesaver this tape is for doing tasks such as this!

Then I ran the card front, purple tape and all, through my Big Shot machine. I “puzzle-pieced” the letters and numbers I die cut out right back into their respective openings on the card front, as I was going for a 3-D look with the buffalo check patterned paper pictured below becoming the top layer of all of them.

Because the Purple Tape is removable, I was able to pick up the dies, still strung together, and place them on the buffalo check patterned paper next.

After all the letters and numbers were layered and inserted back in the card front, I moved on to the the final embellishments on the card. I used a rose stem die from my stash and the “Happy” from the Kat Scrappiness “Happy Birthday Brush Script Word and Sentiment Die”, cut out of gold metallic card stock. Kat‘s “Sparkling Clear Droplets”added some “dew” to my rose petals.

My second card features a beautiful patterned paper behind the alpha die cuts.

I followed the same procedure to align the letters to the front of the card.

Then I simply adhered the floral patterned paper behind the wood-grain top layer and then adhered both layers to a red card base.

To finish, I white heat-embossed the “Happy Birthday” sentiment and added some of Kat’s “Red Flower Sprinkles” to the card.

GIVEWAY TIME!!!!!

DAD: A Man and His Grill | June Card Challenge

Hey Crafters! Priscilla here with two cards I made (and gave) on Father’s Day this past Sunday. I thought these would be perfect to show you as a reminder that the June Card Challenge at Kat Scrappiness is still going on. The theme this month is “Meals with Dad,” focusing on Father’s Day and/or FOOD!

Kat Scrappiness has a wide selection of food related products, but today I am going to feature Kat‘s “Punny Snacks” stamp set, along with her “Happy Father’s Day” die and “Condensed Lowercase Alphabet” dies. Let’s get started!

The “Punny Snacks” stamp set features just what the name says . . . lots of adorable food images and puns to go along with them. For my cards today, I die cut and colored just the hamburgs and hot dogs, as I wanted to get a “cookout vibe” going. Don’t Dads always have a grill nearby? LOL!

This first card went to my husband who is “Dad” to two now grown daughters.

I used some Spellbinders grill and accessories dies that I had in my stash and added Kat‘s “Happy Father’s Day” die sentiment, cut from wood patterned paper. I used my Brother “Scan N Cut” to cut out the food images before coloring and adhering them above the grill. Kat‘s new “Watermelon Slices/Sprinkles” were the finishing touch. Here is a photo of my husband and his girls:

I made this second card for my younger son, who is “Dad” to two 7 year old twin boys.

This card is similar to the first, with the exception that I used a ” wood” background and spelled out “dad” with Kat‘s “Condensed Lowercase Alphabet” dies. Once again, I added “Watermelon Slices/Sprinkles” to finish the card. Here is a photo of my son and his twin boys, celebrating their birthday at “Benihana” recently.

(We’re) Made for Each Other – M.F.E.O. with Ghost Inlaid Technique

Hello Kat Scrappiness fans! I hope you are all having a great week so far. Maria back on the blog today sharing with you this cute card, featuring the Punny Snacks stamp set, the Condensed Lower Case Alpha Dies and the new Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Dies. I love the new scalloped dies so much.

I don’t know about you, but I like to keep a stash of “just-because” cards to give to family and friends. I love the “Ghost Inlaid Technique” that I added to this card using the Condensed Lowercase Alphabet Dies and even though it looks complicated, it really isn’t. I have a process video for you all today (linked below) so I will keep this blog post short.

Here’s what the card looks like. I added some cute girly, eyelashes to the soda image on the left side.

Also added some black polka dots to the whole background to finish it off. I LOVE the cute little smiley faces from the Punny Snack stamp set. They are adorable!

This M.F.E.O. Quote is one of my favorite scenes from the movie, Sleepless in Seattle. I thought it was really funny!

Here’s the YouTube process video if you would like to see how I made the card:

I hope I have given you some inspiration today. Please visit www.katscrappiness.com today the supplies I used. They’re also listed and linked below. Have a wonderful day!
