Happy Birthday – Flower Sprinkles
Hi, hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I have a fun shaker card for you today that uses 9 different products from Kat Scrappiness!

I started by inking a background using a stencil and three different colors of distress ink. I then used the Stitched Rectangle dies from Kat Scrappiness to cut out the panel. On that panel, I die cut the two flowers using the Stitched Scalloped Circle dies. For the flower stems, I used one of the stitched dies from Crafters Essentials 1 set.

For the shaker part of my card, I used the purple, blue, and pink flower sprinkles. I cut out a banner using the Stitched Fishtail Banner dies and stamped and heat embossed my sentiment. I attached that to my panel using foam adhesive.

To finish off the card, I added yellow jewels to the center of my flowers and randomly placed white jewels on the card.

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping! Here is a link to the Kat Scrappiness shop and direct links for products used on this card are below.

“Meet Me Where the Sky Can Kiss the Sea”…featuring Crafters Essentials 1 Dies by Kat Scrappiness

Good day crafty friends! Design Team Member Jana stopping in to share a quick and easy card tutorial with you all today. I don’t know about you, but there are numerous times when I need to create a quick card at the last minute and I am usually scrambling to do so. I also don’t necessarily have time to dig out my stamps and get inky either. Well the good news is that I can now create just about any card I need with the help of the newly released “Crafters Essentials I Dies” by Kat Scrappiness. These dies have been a life saver recently and I am super excited to show you just one of the quick cards that I have whipped up using it.

To begin, I created my card base using 110lb. ReCollections White Cardstock. My card base is an A2 sized card which measures 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″. I then die cut some patterned cardstock from the ReCollections “Mermazing” Paper Book that I have as my card mat using the largest die from the Stitched Scalloped Rectagle Dies by Kat Scrappiness.

I then die cut the above piece out of some plain textured cardstock, again from the ReCollections “Mermazing” Paper Book using one of the dies from the Crafters Essentials I Dies by Kat Scrappiness.

Using some of the “cut aparts” in the ReCollections “Magic Hour” 6X6 Paper Pad, I cut out the sentiment I wanted to add to the bottom of my die cut along with another piece that I wanted to adhere to the middle of the Crafter Essential Die as my focal point. I adhered everything onto my card base using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. And of course, my card would not be complete without some beautiful sequins! I used a few sequins from the “Fluffy Clouds” Sequin Mix and pulled out some green sequins from the “Grandma’s Garden” Sequin Mix as it matched perfectly with the green color in the cardstock that I wanted to pull out.

And there you have it….. a completed card in pretty much less than ten minutes….Perfect!!! I hope that this quick and simple tutorial will help you out when you might be in a pinch for creating a card at the last minute. I have listed all of the products I used in this tutorial below.

You’re a Legend!
Hi Friends! kel here today to share a punny card with you!!

I used the brand new Crafter’s Essentials 1 Dies on this card. That stitched rounded piece is such a perfect size and I was so happy with how nicely it fit in the center of the card… big enough to make a statement but not so big that you don’t get to see the paper behind it!! I stamped out Nessie from the Loveable Legends by Lawn Fawn stamp set, then used the coordinating dies to cut her out and then colored her up with my Copics. I used the waves stamp from the same stamp set and stamped out some water on the stitched panel using the Mermaid ink pad, and then offset her to the side a bit. I also stamped out the sentiment using the Merman ink pad and then made a fishtail banner out of it!

The last thing I did was to add some sequins because sequins always make it better lol! For this one I picked out blues and clears from the Turquoise Sunrise sequin mix, and then greens from the Spring Leaves sequin mix. I really love that you can mix and match from different sequin mixes to make what works for your project!!

Crafter’s Essentials 1 Cards by Maria

Hello my crafty friends! I hope you are all having a great week so far! Maria here with you today sharing some cards, showcasing the new Crafter’s Essentials 1 die set and a lot of products available at the shop. This Crafter’s Essentials 1 die-set is a must-have! This set contains 12 steel-rule dies that you can use for all of your paper crafting projects! Here’s what it looks like:

For my first card today, I stamped some images on some white card stock with my Lawn Fawn Jet black ink using my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform tool. I colored the images in with my Copic markers and die-cut them using the coordinating dies.

I also die-cut another piece of white card stock using the storybook die from the set. I wanted to create a birthday card. I stamped the small images on the card stock and assembled my card.

I really love how this card turned out. There are so many possibilities using this Crafter’s Essentials 1 die-set. I also love all of the stitching details! Here another look:

For my second card below I wanted to use some new sequin and confetti mixes from the Shop and some Nuvo crystal drops. I also used the new My Tribe stamp set by Honey Bee Stamps. Here’s my shaker card:

This shaker card is actually going to a friend of mine who is also crazy about crafting! I am so thankful that she is a part of my tribe!

I hope you got inspired today. The Crafter’s Essentials 1 die set is sold out at the moment but more are coming in the next 7 days or so. You can RESERVE the dies so you don’t miss out again. The supplies I used are listed and linked below. Have an amazing day and happy crafting!
