  • Trio of Tulips Cards

    Trio of Tulips Cards

    Happy Saturday everyone.  It’s Caren here today on the blog with a trio of cards using the new Layered Tulip Bouquet die set.

    I die cut the tulips from white card stock and used various colors of distress ink to ink blend the tulips.  I water colored the backgrounds with coordinating colors and used the Stitched Scalloped Border dies to add some detail to the bottom of each panel.  I added dimensional adhesive to the watercolor panels and tulip bouquets and adhered them to my gray card bases.  I added simple sentiment strips to finish off the cards.

  • Merry Christmas!!!!

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    It’s Donna here back again as guest designer for Kat Scrappiness.  I hope you all are having a lovely Christmas with your family under these crazy times.  I am here sharing a Slimline Holiday shaker card created using the NEWLY released Christmas Shaker Ornament dies and the Sugar Plum Fairies sequins from Kat Scrappiness.

    Here is how I created my card:

    1. I cut the base for my slimline card at 3 1/2 x 8 1/2,2. I then die cut the top layer with Kat Scrappiness Embossed Edge Nesting Slimline Dies using the Sugar Plum Fairies slimline paper,

    3. I then die cut the ornaments from glitter paper using the Christmas Shaker Ornament dies, that I created a shaker with using the Sugar Plum Fairies sequins. I adhered them to the base of the card and added some string from my stash to create the ornament,

    4. I die cut the words from Kat Scrappiness “Happy Holidays” Brush Script Word die,

    5. I finished off my card by adding the Sugar Plum Fairies sequins to the card.

    Here is a closer look at the card.

    Here is my second card I am sharing with you today.  It is created using the Kat Scrappiness Stitched and Layered Christmas Tree die.  I cut the top layer using the Kat Scrappiness Wonky Stitched Nesting slimline dies, I inked the layer with distress ink and added white distress ink to create snow in the background.  I die cut the Stitched and Layered Christmas tree with green mirrored paper.  I die cut the ornaments and added them to my card.

    Be sure to check out the Holiday Sale!  The sale runs until January 1.

    I hope I have been inspired. Here is a list of supplies I used on my card, Affiliate Links used at no additional cost. Thank you for your support.

  • Stitched and Layered Snowman

    Stitched and Layered Snowman

    Hello everyone, it’s Caren here today, and I’m sharing a card today that features the Stitched and Layered Snowman and the Sugar Plum Fairies patterned paper.

    I started by assembling my snowman using the Stitched and Layered snowman dies.  I used the Sugar Plum Fairies slimline paper for the hat and scarf on the snowman.  I used a carrot sprinkle for the nose of the snowman and two purple heart sprinkles for the buttons.  I then took one of the Sentiment Strip dies and cut out several patterns from the Sugar Plum Fairies paper.

    I did a little bit ink blending on the card base with purple distress ink.  I then added my strips to the bottom half of my card base and added a purple peel off strip.  I adhered the snowman to the card using dimensional adhesive.  I love the the colors of the Sugar Plum paper and the way this card turned out.

    Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for stopping by!

  • I Miss You This Much

    I Miss You This Much

    How did everyone like the new release?  Had you heard of a quokka before?  I hadn’t, but they are so cute.

     

    My card features the quokka within the frame from the Quokka’n Up stamp set.  I stamped, colored, and cut out the stamps using Copic markers and my Silhouette Cameo.  I die cut a piece of white card stock using the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle dies.  I used a stencil can distress ink to lightly sponge blue ink onto this layer.  Then added a few ink splatters with black ink.    I heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set onto black card stock and white embossing powder.  I added a few blue heart droplets to finish the card.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  • Sending Hugs

    Sending Hugs

    Hi everyone, it’s Caren here today on the blog, and I’m sharing a simple slimline card that uses two dies, a couple of stamps, and patterned paper.

    I started the card by covering my slimline card base (8 1/2 x 3 inches) with a piece of blue patterned paper.  I die cut a white frame with the largest Tri Frame Slimline die and adhered it to the card base with foam adhesive.  I die cut 3 squares with the Stitched Scalloped Square dies from white card stock.  I stamped the hugging bears and bunnies and colored them with Copic markers.  I used distress ink for the third square and stamped my sentiment with Versamark ink and white embossing powder.  I used foam adhesive to pop the squares up on the card.

    I sometimes have issues filling up the space in a slimline card, but using the die cut squares fills up the space for a quick and easy slimline card.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  • September Release Recap with Caren

    How did you like the September release?  What was your favorite product?  I loved all the new Halloween sprinkles!

    Here is a closer look at the cards I created for this release.

    I’ll start with my favorite.  I created the black frame by using the new Neverending Slimline dies.  I took the two largest dies in the set and taped them together to give me a nice even frame, then ran it thru my die cut machine.  I added a piece of Kat Scrappiness’s slimline sized acetate sheets to the back of my frame and added foam tape around it to set up for a shaker card.  I filled the card with the following sprinkles – Pick Your Poison, Silver Starlights, Lime Green Confetti sprinkles, Orange Confetti sprinkles, and Dark Purple Confetti sprinkles.

    I added the panel to a white card base.  Then adhered three colors classes and a banner with my I’ve Got Boos sentiment.

    My second card uses the Foliage Frame Slimline die cut out of black card stock.  I used the condensed lowercase alphabet dies to cut out the word boo.  I cut it out of orange patterned paper and out of black card stock.  I layered these together to give a bit of dimension to the letters.  I adhered the frame, ghosts from my stash, and the boo sentiment to my card base that I covered in green pattern paper.  To finish the card, I added a few sequins and ghosts from the Boo-Tackular sequin mix.

    My third card is another Halloween shaker card.  I used the Chevron Slimline die on two patterned papers – orange dots and black dots.  In then inlaid the black dot pieces into the orange frame.  The shaker part was pumpkin dies from my stash and I added sequins from the Bewitched mix.  I added this to a purple card base and die cut my Trick or Treat sentiment from the same purple paper.  I finished the card by adding a few purple sequins from the Going Batty Halloween mix.

    My last card is a non-Halloween card using the Wood Grain Framed Diamond Wire Slimline die cut from white card stock.  I ink blended the background using two shades of pink distress inks.  I colored the cute little birds with Copic makers and stamped my sentiment on a Banner.  I added a few clear solid sequins to finish the card.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  • Merry Christmas Gnomies!

    Merry Christmas Gnomies!

    Happy Labor Day to everyone in the US.  I plan on spending the day at the pool probably for the last time this summer.  I’m ready for the cooler weather!

    Today I have a Christmas card using the Christmas Gnome stamp set.  I colored my cute little gnome with Copic markers and cut it out with my Silhouette.  I found some cute patterned paper in my stash that matched perfectly with my colored gnome.  I die cut my patterned paper with the Zig Zag Rectangle dies and adhered it to my card base.

    On my stitched arch die cut, I used a stencil with Mermaid Lagoon distress ink and stamped my sentiment from the Christmas Gnome stamp set.  I adhered this to my card base and popped up my santa with dimensional adhesive.  I added a few Falling Snow sprinkles.

    Be sure to check back at the end of the week for a new release!

  • Jump for Joy

    Jump for Joy

    Hello Friends Waleska Galindo here to share a super cute card with the Hoppy for you stamp set, this sweet kangaroos come with a bunch of other images to create some fun cards.

     

    CARD DETAILS:

    To create this card I started with the frame, the frame I used is the Foliage Frame die by Kat Scrappiness.  I colored the foliage leaves with copic markers,

    I then used oxide inks in colors Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Lucky Clover to color the rest of the frame.

    I colored the cute Kangaroos also with copic markers, I wanted to used them as if they were popping from the corners.

    To finish this card I inked a panel with the same Oxide ink colors I used before and did some water splashes and adhere everything into place.  I used one of the sentiments from this set and add some sequins here and there.

     

    Thank you so much friends to stop by today, I hope you are inspired by my card.  Please stay safe!

  • New Slimline Dies!

    New Slimline Dies!

    Hi, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

    Did you notice the Kat released two new slimline nesting die sets earlier this week?  One is Embossed Edged and the other is Stitched Scalloped.  Here is a look at them.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Today, I’m sharing two cards I created using the new slimline dies.  My card bases measure 8.5 x 3.5 inches.  I cut my pieces of heavy weight card stock 8.5×7 and then scored at 3.5 on the 7 inch side.

    My first card uses the largest Embossed Edged slimline die from the set.  I die cut this with white card stock.  I then used a stencil, a blender brush, and blue distress ink to create the clouds.  The hills were created using a die from the Crafters Essentials Easter die set and the white cloud die cuts are from the He is Risen die set.  I adhered these directly to my card using wet adhesive. I layered this panel on a piece of gray card stock leaving about a 1/16th edge and adhered it to my white card base.

    I stamped and colored, using Copics,  the sloth from the Stewart the Sloth stamp set.   I then cut it out using my Silhouette machine.  I stamped the sentiment “Hang in There” from the same stamp set in black on gray card stock that I had die cut using the Stitched Fishtail banner dies.  I added these to the card using dimensional adhesive.

    My second card uses the largest Stitched Scalloped slimline die from the set and a piece of pink polka dot patterned paper.  I adhered this to a piece of dark gray card stock that is slightly larger and glued this panel to my light gray card base.  From that same dark card stock, I die cut the congrats letters three times from the Condensed Lowercase Alphabet dies.  I glued the layers together.  This gives a little bit of dimension to the letters on the card. I adhered these to the card base and added a few sparkling clear droplets.

    Thanks for stopping by and I can’t wait to see what everyone creates with these new dies.
