Dress Up Quokka Happy Halloween Card!

Hi everyone!
Tasha here sharing a Happy Halloween card featuring the Dress Up Quokka Stamp Set and Quokka Halloween Costume Add On Stamp Set!

I love Halloween and nothing is cuter than a quokka dressed up in a little costume! I stamped the quokka, his vampire outfit, and the super adorable bat with black ink and used the coordinating die sets to cut all the images out. This bat looks so happy!

For the moon, I used a die from the Crafters Essentials FALL Die Set and Post It paper to create a mask.I went over the moon and background with purple Distress Oxide Ink, blending from the edge toward the center to create a glowing look.

The “Happy Halloween” greeting is from the Toil & Trouble Layered Stamp Set. This simple sentiment fit perfectly on this card and looks great with the orange paper!

Lastly, I added spiderweb pattern paper from the new Creepy & Kooky Paper Pad, orange paper, and bright lime green paper before attaching the card to a white card Base.

Thank you for checking out today’s card and I hope you are inspired to create a Halloween Quokka Card!

Black Cats & Bats | Creepy Halloween Slimline Card
Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I want to share a slimline card I made for the Kat Scrappiness Blog featuring the new “Fancy Scalloped Nesting Slimline Die,” the “Crafters Essentials- Fall Die Collection,” and once again, the Kat Scrappiness fan favorite this time of year, the Halloween-themed “Toil and Trouble Layered Stamp Set with Matching Dies.”

Steps to create this card:
1. Create a slimline card base (8.5″ x 7″, scored at 3.5″).
2. Die cut a top layer using the new “Fancy Scalloped Slimline Die.”
3. Die cut a hill from the Kat Scrappiness “Stitched Slimline Hills Die.“
4. Ink blend several Distress Oxide inks in shades of green (“Lucky Clover,” “Twisted Citron,” and “Mowed Lawn.”)
5. Create a large moon using the Kat Scrappiness “Embossed Edge Circle Die” inked in “Scattered Straw” Distress Oxide.
6. Die cut the tree, fence, pumpkin, and bat from the “Crafters Essentials- Fall Die Collection” using black card stock.
7. Stamp the layered skull and black cat using the “Toil and Trouble Layered Stamp Set with Matching Dies.”
8. Adhere these die cut elements onto the ink blended top layer, before stamping and black heat embossing the “Happy Halloween” sentiment.
And for the perfect ghoulish finishing touch, I added several “Area 51” green and black sprinkles!

When Black Cats Prowl . . . | Halloween Slimline Card

Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I want to share a slimline shaker card I made featuring the new “Slimline Wood Grain Framed Diamond Wire” die and the Kat Scrappiness fan favorite this time of year, the Halloween-themed “Toil and Trouble Layered Stamp Set with Matching Dies.”

I started with a slimline card base from purple card stock (8.5″ x 7″, scored at 3.5″ inches.) Using the new “Diamond Wire” die, I cut the front of this shaker card from silver card stock for a “chain-link fence” look.

I ink blended Distress Oxide Inks in “Twisted Citron,” “Carved Pumpkin,” and “Wilted Violet” to create a spooky backdrop for my shaker elements, Kat‘s “Pick Your Poison” and “Eye Candy” sprinkles.

I adhered a slimline-sized clear acetate sheet on the back of the “Diamond Wire” layer and foamed mounted it over the sprinkles and ink blended background. With my shaker completed, I then added the Halloween elements on top – a die cut Spooky tree and bat from the “Crafters Essentials- Fall” die collection, a pumpkin colored and cut from the “Happy Fall Y’all” stamp set, and the 3-step stamp layered black cat plus the sentiment from the “Toil and Trouble Layered Stamp Set with Matching Dies.” Finally, I added a stamped and die cut purple moon from my stash.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Don’t forget to check out what’s NEW in Kat’s Shop, and follow my blog and Instagram for more “Kat Scrappiness Amazingness”!

Christmas is Gnoming!
Hi crafters, it’s Caren here today with a Christmas in July card. Did everyone have a chance to look a the new release goodies? What was your favorite product? Mine is the Christmas Gnome stamp set! It is so cute, and I love the punny sentiments.

For my card, I used the gnome holding the candy cane with the Christmas is Gnoming sentiment. I colored the image using Copic markers and cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo machine. From white card stock, I die cut the Stitched Winter Swirl Backdrop die and applied distress ink using brushes. I think used one of the Double Stitched Rectangle dies to cut out a portion of this die and layered it on black card stock.

I found a piece of red snowflake patterned paper in my stash and die cut it with the largest Double Stitched Rectangle die and layered it with black card stock. I stamped the sentiment using Versamark ink and white embossing powder on the banner die from the Crafters Essentials Fall die set. I then layered these panels onto a white card base. I used dimensional adhesive to add the gnome and sentiment banner. I added a few Sparking Clear jewels to finish off the card.

November Card Challenge Inspiration

Here is some Inspiration from me to get you started!

I used my cover plate maple leaf die from the Crafter’s Essentials Fall Die Set to cut my panel.

I die cut some extra leaves diagonally across my panel so there are more places to see the Autumn Harvest Sequins.

I added a Kat Scrappiness Acetate sheet to the top of my panel and foam tape around the die cut leaves to keep the Autumn Harvest Sequin Mix close to the leaf “windows”.

I stamped my “Thanks” Sentiment to my panel, then I filled my shaker with the Autumn Harvest Sequin mix.

Embossed Edge Dies & More by Martha Lucia

Hi there! Martha Lucia here with you. Today I am featuring the fabulous Embossed Edge Die Cuts released at the beginning of this month and more die cuts from Kat Scrappiness.

I used the Embossed Edge Heart set, the Butterfly Backdrop Die and the stamp set Let’s Get Caffeinated. to create my first card. I stamped one of the sentiments included on the Let’s Get Caffeinated stamp set onto whisper white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and die cut it with one of the middle size hearts included on the Embossed Edge Heart. The photo don’t make justice but the advantage of these die cuts is that you can get the deep on the border and the emboss design at the same time.

To create the background, I used the Butterfly Backdrop Die from Kat Scrappiness. I cut the card base using Mint Macaron and covered it with a second layer of designer paper. then I pasted the Butterfly Backdrop Die over the decorated layer and colored some of the negative parts with markers. I pasted the them with double sided foam tape in the corresponding place. As final touch, I splattered the entire layer with a few drops of Glimmer Mist.

My next card is featuring the Crafters Essentials Fall Dies from Kat Scrappiness and Mystical Leaves Sprinkles.

To make this I used Pool Party card stock for the card base and Crumb Cake card stock for the second layer. I die cut the second layer with the panel layer included on the Crafters Essentials Fall Dies set. I also die cut some leaves in different colors from the same die cut panel.

I inked the panel with different colors of Harmony Water Reactive Dye Ink from Spectrum Noir. I used the next colors of ink: Crushed Velvet, Fuchsia, Honey Pot and Grasshopper. I coordinated the colors of the ink whit the leaves that I die cut. Just to add more interest to the card, I embossed the leaves with a textured embossing folder and tie them with natural hemp tread. As final touch, to decorate the window, I just paste behind of the panel a small piece of Acetate to create a shaker area and decorate with the Mystical Leaves Sprinkles. The sentiment is an image from a fall set from Hero Arts, stamped with StazOn Pigment Ink Snowflake.

For my next card, I used the Embossed Rectangle Dies and the stamp set Happy Fall Y’all!. I inked a complete layer of whisper white card stock with three different colors of Harmony Inks by Spectrum Noir. It is a water reactive die with brilliant colors that mixed give me colors of the fall. I die cut all the rectangles with over the inked layer and interchange the position at the time of paste it.

I stamped one of the images included on the Happy Fall Y’all onto basic black cardstock with VersaMark and Gold embossing powder. Then I colored some parts of the image with Metallic color pencils from Spectrum Noir.

UPDATE: The embossed Edge Rectangle Dies are now out of stock. First, thank you for your support but If you are interested in know when the die will be available again, just add your email to the notification box at the store and you will be the first to know that they are back!

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Thanksgiving
Hi crafters It’s only a couple more months until Thanksgiving. This year has flown by, I think I say that every year!

I’ve created a Thanksgiving card today using the Happy Thanksgiving die and Crafters Essentials Fall dies from Kat Scrappiness.

I die cut the frame with a leaf cut out from the Crafters Essential Fall die set and the Happy Thanksgiving die from brown card stock. I also cut a piece of patterned paper using the same frame. I cut this piece in half and adhered it on top of the brown frame. I then added a small piece of acetate behind the leaf cut out to make a shaker feature.

I tied a piece of yellow ribbon around the frame, added some foam adhesive to the back, and the mystical leaves sprinkles, then backed it with white card stock. I adhered the frame to a white card base, added the Happy Thanksgiving, and added a few Champagne jewels to finish 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.
