Merry Christmas – Mason Jar Shaker
Happy Friday everyone. It’s Caren here on the blog today. Have you started your Christmas cards yet? I try to make them throughout the year, but I’m always scrambling in November! I have a fun Christmas shaker card for you today using lots of Kat Scrappiness products!

Here is how I created the card:
- To create the shaker element – Using the jar dies from the Mason Jar Shaker card die set, I die cut a using paper from the Cozy Christmas Slimline paper pad, gray card stock, and acetate
- Adhere the outline layer with the acetate
- Add dimensional adhesive to the back of the acetate
- Now the fun part – add sprinkles! I used Chilly Willy sprinkles and Fluffy Clouds sequin mix
- Die cut the snowflake from the Build a Stocking die set from white glitter paper and adhere to mason jar
- To create the background, die cut the Snowflake Swirls background from Crafters Essentials: Winter from white card stock
- Ink blend with a light blue ink
- For the sentiment, die cut Merry from Merry Christmas brush sentiment die set using red glitter paper
- Stamp and heat emboss the word Christmas from the Happy Day stamp set
- Adhere all to card base
- Add Ruby Red rhinestones to finish the card
Thanks for stopping by!

Winter Forest Slimline Cards

Hi Everyone! Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs. Today I have two slimline cards using the new Kat Scrappiness“Forest for the Trees” slimline die.

But first a sale! Now thru January 1st in the Kat Scrappiness shop: All Christmas and Hanukkah products are 15% off with code BYE2020.

The new Kat Scrappiness“Forest for the Trees” slimline die creates a stitched hillside with wonderful birch trees for hiding critters and birds in, as well as a separate stand-alone frame for the outside portion.

For my first card, I ran the Forest slimline die through my Big Shot using a deep burgundy card stock and sponged brown distress ink along the edges. I added a gold heat embossed sentiment at the bottom, before adhering it over a gold glitter card stock layer.

The deer is from the Kat Scrappiness “Crafter’s Essentials- Winter” die collection. See how I dipped his antlers and hoofs into gold embossing powder? Several of Kat‘s “Gold Jewels” were the finishing touch.

For my second card, I followed the same steps, but used a bright red card stock for the forest and a brown layer behind that I had stenciled with a slimline falling snow stencil and gold embossing paste.

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”!

Jingle Bells

Hello fellow card makers,

Today I am sharing a Christmas card made using products from the Kat Scrappiness newest release. We all know Christmas planning starts in July so let’s get started on those cards.

Using the new slim line dies I cut the different layers of the card. I used the Wonky Edge Slimline die and the Embossed Edge Slimline dies in two sizes.

Next I die cut the trees using the tree die from the KS Crafter’s Essentials Winter Die Set. I did cut the trees in two shades of green and cut some of the tree line apart in order to arrange the trees to fit the slimline format. Before putting the trees on the card I splatted white paint onto them. When attaching the trees I used some foam tape to give the card dimension. I stamped some clouds in the sky above the tree line.

Now for the best part of the card! The adorable Christmas Gnome from the newest release alone with a sentiment from the set were stamped and added to the card to complete the look but not without a few sequins. Excited to see all the Christmas cards to be made with this wonderful new stamp set.

Winter Wonderland

Hello Friends,

I am sharing one more Christmas card using a wonderful Kat Scrappiness Die Set called Crafters Essentials Winter dies. I am excited to create with this set because I get to make a Winter scene.

I started by die cutting out the different pieces of the die set.

I die cut out the merry Christmas in silver glitter card stock.

The card base is dark blue and I splattered white paint onto it to create the image of stars.

Now to assemble the card. The trees and the back hill was adhered to the card base. The front hill was attached using foam tape to give it dimension. The deer was then attached to the front hill using foam tape also. Finally a few sequins were added.

Crafters Essential Winter Dies by Martha Lucia

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with you! Today I am featuring one of my favorites collection of Die Cuts, the Exclusive Crafters Essential Winter Dies in combination with the Merry Critters stamp set.

I started cutting the stitched backdrop included on the Crafters Essentials Winter Collection onto whisper white card stock. I inked the upper part with distress ink and used the same die to emboss the free areas with a little darker tone. I pasted this layer over the card base using double sided foam tape.

With watercolor paper, I die cut the trees included on the Crafter Essentials Winter Die Collection. Then I colored them with a paint brush and distress ink applied over my craft mat. I left the trees dry naturally.

In a separate piece of whisper white paper, I stamped one of the images included on the stamp set Merry Critters. I used Memento Ink to stamp the image and sentiment and Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir to colored the image. I fussy cut the image with scissors and pasted in between of the two snow hills also included on the Crafters Essentials Winter Die.

Thank you for stopping by and see you soon with more inspiration.

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.

Pine Tree/Icicle Border die
Hi Crafters! Kat has re-released the Pine Tree Border die. The previous die (which is still available here) doesn’t cut out the bottom border. The new die does cut out the bottom portion of the die. The new die, Pine Tree/Icicle Duo Border die is like having two dies in one – when used upright it cuts out the Pine Tree border and when flipped around, it creates an icicle border!

For my card today, I’ve used the Pine Tree/Icicle Border die as an icicle border. I have been addicted to ink blending lately. I started by using various distress inks with blending brushes to create a blended night sky. I splattered white watercolor onto the background using a paint brush to create a look of snow. I die cut the Pine Tree/Icicle Border die twice out of white glitter paper. I also die cut one of the snow drifts from the Crafters Essentials Winter die set using the same white glitter paper. I adhered these die cuts to my blended background.

I die cut that background using a Stitched Scalloped rectangle die for my background piece. I created the kraft border by using the same size Stitched Scalloped rectangle die and then used a stitched rectangle die that was a bit smaller to create the border. I adhered the border to the background piece.

I die cut the dear from the Crafters Essentials Winter die set out of craft paper and inked the edges using brown distress inks. I adhered the dear to the background using foam adhesive. The Merry Critters stamp set had the perfect sentiment, My Deer Friend, for this card. I stamped this onto the background with black ink.

I die cut coordinating plaid paper with the largest Stitched Scalloped rectangle die and adhered it to my white card base. I then added my blended panel to the card base using foam adhesive.

The Pine Tree/Icicle Border die has so many possibilities – when I showed the design team my card, one of them said that it looked like mountains. I can totally see that now! Another one used the die as hair for Frankenstein.

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. Get in on the sale going on right now 15% off in the store thru October 25th by using code FALL15.
