  • Patriotic Birthday Card

    Patriotic Birthday Card

    Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans!

    I hope everyone who celebrates the 4th of July had a safe and enjoyable day yesterday!

    In honor of the 4th I thought I’d use the new

    Crafter’s Essentials 1 dies to share a patriotic birthday card with you!

    The Crafter’s Essentials dies have 13 individual dies in the package and there are literally an endless number of combinations available for making cards.  These dies are a cardmaker’s best friend! There is a great picture showcasing 9 different sketches as examples using these dies in the picture shown below.

    My card was a quick and easy one to make and I decided to use quite a few different embossing folders on the card to give it a lot of texture.

    I used polka dot folders on the card background and mini polka dots on the letters from the Condensed Lowercase Alphas.

    The smaller white panel was embossed with a brick background folder and the circle die was run through my paper crimper to give it some texture as well.

    I heat embossed my sentiment from Everyday Brush Strokes on to the blue strip across the circle in white.  I popped the circle, stars, white panel, sentiment and letters on foam tape to give it even more dimension.  Here is a picture of all the supplies used.

  • Mother’s and Father’s Day Cards

    1. Hello Kat Scrappiness fans!

    It’s Lisa here on the blog today to share two cards with you that I made with the same supplies but with 2 very different looks.  It’s always nice to make 2 cards at the same time especially at this time of the year when Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are so close together.

    The new Stitched Flags dies in the shop this month when paired with the Upper and Lower Condensed Alpha Dies allow for some very versatile combinations of cards.

    The first card is a masculine card that could be used for Father’s Day or Birthday.  I decorated the Stitched Flags with the Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set from last month’s release.  I cut out the letters D-A-D with the Condensed Uppercase Alphas and gave them a confetti like appearance with some polka dots at the bottom of the letters in blue and brown.  I die cut the kraft panel with a Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle die and then embossed it with a woodgrain embossing folder.  Lots of foam tape to pop up the flags and the letters.  I just love the added dimension!

    My second card is just a feminine version of the first card.  It’s amazing when you change the color palette and the stamp set what a different look you can achieve.  The Fab Flowers stamp set from Lawn Fawn and the pink palette make this the perfect Mother’s Day card

    or a sweet Birthday card for Mom.

    Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope I’ve inspired you to look at your dies and stamp sets in a new light to see what combinations you could come up with!
