    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!

  • Quick Cards using Coverplate Dies

    Quick Cards using Coverplate Dies

    Happy Monday everyone!  It’s Caren on the Kat Scrappiness blog today with some fun and quick cards coverplate and alphabet dies from Kat Scrappiness.

    My first card uses the Fancy Floral coverplate die.  I die cut it our of white card stock and adhered it to a piece of pink glitter card stock.  I then die cut my letters for Hello using the Condensed Lowercase Alpha dies from gray card stock.  I lined them up how I wanted them on the card and used foam adhesive to adhere them to my panel.

    For my second card, I die cut the Star Fusion Coverplate die from white card stock.  I blended five different Distress Oxide inks (in rainbow order) for the back panel.  I used the same Condensed Lowercase Alpha dies to cut out the word Thanks from gray card stock.  I then adhered them to my panel using foam adhesive.

  • Stewart the Sloth Sports “Dr. Denton” PJs (and Coffee) | Paper Piecing Fun!

    Stewart the Sloth Sports “Dr. Denton” PJs (and Coffee) | Paper Piecing Fun!

    Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I have two cards to share with you using the new “Stewart the Sloth” stamp set, but with a bit of a twist. In my first card, Stewart is ready for bed in his “Dr. Denton” PJs, and enjoying a late night cup of coffee. In my second card, he’s letting you know where coffee ranks on his priority list. LOL! I’ll explain how I made both cards. Let’s get started!

    Whereas in my July 28th blog, I used the stamp image of Stewart hanging from a limb, for today’s cards, I chose the other stamp image — Stewart hugging a cup of coffee.

    For Card #1, I created a mask using a circle die and adhered it to an A2 card base and then sponged several shades of blue Distress Oxide inks over it to create a night sky. I used white pigment ink and Echo Park‘s “Summer Adventure Sky Constellations” to enhance the night sky. I sponged a dark blue Distress Oxide ink over Carta Bella’s “Wander & Find” stencil to create the look of vegetation below. Then I sponged, die cut, and adhered a moon slightly offset as a backdrop for the sloth. I stamped a tree limb from my stash, colored the sloth with Spectrum Noir “Tri-Blend” markers, and then cut him out using my Brother “Scan N Cut” machine. Here’s where the “paper piecing” came into play. I stamped the sloth again on patterned paper and fussy cut out just his PJs before paper piecing them on top of his body. Simply drawing in the back flap and two snaps on his PJs gave the look I was looking for — the “Dr. Dentons” we all wore as kids. LOL!

    The finishing touches were the white heat-embossed sentiment and Kat’s “Sparkling Clear Jewels.”

    For Card #2,Kat’s “Stitched Scalloped Collage Frame Die” created a background that I simply adhered a check patterned paper and a coffee cup embellishment; a black & white die cut image of Stewart placed over a gray coffee splat; and a white heat-embossed“Riley & Company” sentiment in the three open areas.

  • “Stewart the Sloth” with Stencil Layering Video

    “Stewart the Sloth” with Stencil Layering Video

    Hey Crafters! Priscilla here!  Today I’ll be using the new “Stewart the Sloth‘” stamp set now available in Kat’s shop to make two C&S (Clean & Simple) cards. And stay tuned for a special bonus video showing how I used a “Two-Layer Stenciling” technique to create the background for both of these cards.

    Here’s the new stamp set I used today to create my two C&S cards.

    The first one features a yellow and red stenciled background using a Distress Oxide color combination that Kristina Werner showed on her blog a few months ago.

     

    I used  Carta Bella’s “Wander & Find” stencil and combined it with stencil I created using a circle die from my stash.  Note my new stenciling tool, the Wendy Vecchi “MAKE ART Stay-tion All-In-One Magnetic Surface.” I LOVE ? it!

     

    Here’s a short video showing you this “Two-Layer Stenciling” technique.

     

    The second card features a Distress Oxide ink combo of “Squeezed Lemonade,” “Peacock Fathers,” and “Chipped Sapphire” for the stenciled background. Some “Mystical Leaves” sprinkles provide the finishing touch.

  • You Make Me Jump For Joy

    You Make Me Jump For Joy

    Hi everyone!  I’ve got another card using the Hoppy for You stamp set and one of the new sprinkle mixes from Kat Scrappiness.  Kat released 38 new sequin/sprinkle mixes this month.  That isn’t a typo – there are 38 fun new mixes!

    I stamped and colored the large kangaroo and the flowers from the So Hoppy For You stamp set with Copic markers.  I then cut them out using my Silhouette Cameo.  I die cut the Stitched Scalloped Collage Frame die from plaid patterned paper and white card stock.  I adhered the plaid frame the white card base.  I blended a little bit of Spun Sugar Distress ink directly onto the card base where the cut outs were.  I also added Spun Sugar Distress ink onto one of the inner pieces of the frame from the white card stock.  On this piece, I stamped my sentiment in black ink.

    I used dimensional adhesive to add the kangaroo and the piece with the sentiments.  I then adhered the flowers directly to the card base.  To finish the card, I added the purple flower sprinkles to the kangaroo and the flowers.

  • May Release: Wok On!

    May Release: Wok On!

    The new May Release stamp set,  “Wok On!” is my favorite. And that’s coming from someone that’s never eaten sushi! The images are adorable and the sentiments so punny. Don’t you just want to pinch the “cheeks” on those sushi rolls! LOL!

     

    So rather than google the “correct” coloring for sushi and all its accoutrements, I decided to think “outside the box” and color them non-traditionally. Plus, I wanted to use the sentiment “I Like the Way You Roll,” as if the two matching sushis are accepting the turquoise one for being different, and it’s ok. Whew! We’re getting deep here! LOL!

    I used my Brother Scan N Cut machine to cut out the rolls and then colored them with Copic markers. The background was created with a square stencil opening in which I blended a wash of pink Distress Oxide shades before using a cloud stencil for added texture. Kat‘s “Sparkling Clear Droplets” highlighted the fish eyes and Nuvo Dream Drops in “Love Potion” made those cheeks just pop!

     

    For my second card, the turquoise sushi made another appearance, but this time he’s hanging out with his buddy, “Soy.”

    Once again, I colored the images with Copic markers before adhering them to the “Wood Floor” die cut  from Penny Black. The flowers adhered to the teal background are actually stickers from my stash. I stamped the sentiment onto one of Kat‘s  “Stitched Sentiment Strips” dies, before adding Kat’s orange and yellow “jewels” to the centers of the flowers.

  • Bunny In A Basket Card

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. Today is release day for the Crafters Essentials Easter dies. The Crafters Essentials come packed with many dies at an awesome price. When I opened this dieset I already had several ideas brewing. The first idea was a basket with flowers and a bunny. Below are the steps to create your own Bunny In A Basket Card.

    Step 1 – Trim Kraft Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2)

    Step 2 – Trim Black Cardstock to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. Adhere to card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 3 – Using a background stencil apply Distress Oxide Ink Brushed Corduroy with an ink applicator on White Cardstock. Stamp sentiment to bottom using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Diecut Double Stitched Rectangles to the background. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 4 – Diecut Crafters Essentials Easter (bunny in grey and black cardstock, basket in kraft cardstock, bow in orange). Distress the edges of the basket with Distress Oxide Vintage Photo. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive only applying the glue to the edges. You want to leave the opening free of glue. Adhere the bunny (grey on top and black on the bottom) using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive Glue only at the bottom of the bunny. Assemble the bow and adhere to card.

    Step 5 – Optional – Diecut any flowers die you have or use flowers from your stash. Adhere to the card in the basket opening and if you can intertwine it with the bunny.
