Simply Amazing Card with Ink Smooshed Background

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the 5×7 card that I created using some of the new products from Kat Scrappiness.

To create the background I did some ink smooshing and then used the 5×7 Neverending Rectangles die set. I used one rectangle to cut out the main piece and 2 smaller ones to create an inner frame (which I later put on the inside). Before placing these pieces onto the card front I added some embossed line details with a VersaMarker Waterrmark pen and adhered to some sliver foil cardstock.

I cut the Simply Amazing Sentiment with Shadow Die using vellum and silver foil cardstock and to finish off the card I adhered a smattering of pearls from the Midnight Sky pearl mix.

You can check out my video for the full process…

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed today’s card!

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would finish the month of love “February” with a cute card using Kat Scrappiness products and other items.

I started with an Embossed Edged Heart Die from Kat Scrappiness cut from water color paper. Next I used the smooshing technique to color the heart. Finally some black ink was splattered onto the heart.

A black card base and a stripped layer one were cut. The panda stamp is from the Waffle Flower “Be Him” Set. The embossed sentiment is from the B|M Sharon’s Script Stamp Set. All of these products are available on the Kat Scrappiness online store.

The pieces are assembled into a fun card. Must admit I needed to add a mustache to make him look a bit more dapper. Added a few Gray/silver sequins to complete the card.

Supplies:

Kat Scrappiness- Embossed Edged Heart Die

Kat Scrappiness – Silver City sequins mix

Waffle Flower – Be Him Stamp

Gina K – card stock

Lawn Fawn – Let’s Polka in the Meadow paper

Friends,

When you get on a track of making themed cards it is some times hard to stop! So, I am sharing one more love card made with Kat Scrappiness Love Heart Shaker card kit and fills.

I started by cutting a six inch square black card base. Next I cut a layer one square of watercolor paper. Using the smooshing technique I applied various colors of ink to the watercolor paper creating the background for the focal point of the card.

Now for the shaker component of the card. Using gold paint I colored the heart/love shaker kit.

I attached the dimensional part of the kit to the background and filled with Kat Scrappiness Cupid’s Arrow Sequins Mix and Rose Medley Sequins mix.

Finally I Embossed the sentiment onto a small black banner and assembled the pieces. I added a few gold sequins and the card was complete.

Hello Crafters,

Halloween will be here before we know it. I am sure everyone will want to send out cards to their special people in their life. Today’s card is quick and fun to create.

I started with a traditional black cat. This cat is a three layered stamp from the Kat Scrappiness Stamp set called Toil & Trouble Stamp and die. Using three shades of gray I stamped the cat. Used green to stamp the eyes then die cut it out.

To create the background I used a Kat Scrappiness A-2 piece of acetate as my palette. On this acetate I dabbed Tim Holtz Distressed oxide in mowed lawn, peeled paint and forest moss. Then water is spritzed onto the ink. The layer one piece of water color paper is then pressed onto the inks. Dabbing the ink onto the paper to create the background. This is done to the liking of the creator of the card.

Using Kat Scrappiness Never Ending Circle dies cut out a circle/ring for the cat to be framed. Stamp the sentiment from the Toil & Trouble Stamp set in black. Adhere the circle over the inked background and center the cat in it. Add a few sequins from the Kat Scrappiness Black Tie sequin mix and the card is complete.

Cards can be simple and still be beautiful.

From the bottom of my heart!

Hi there, everyone!

Today’s card was made playing with the Distress Oxide Inks. I had a small piece of acetate or plastic packaging that I used to create the rainbow design. All you have to do is simply smoosh your ink onto the plastic, spray lightly with water, and then go directly onto your paper. The Distress Oxide inks do not move like regular Distress Inks. When using regular Distress Inks you can move your plastic to spread pigment and water where you want it. With the Distress Oxide Inks…pretty much where you lay down the plastic is where the color will be. They were super fun to experiment with!

For the greeting, I cut out a black heart using the Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Heart Dies. The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Thank You Messages Sentiment Set. This stamp set has all sorts of “thank yous” in different fonts, as well as, many different sayings. I used an anti-static powder tool to prep the black card stock. The message was stamped with Versamark Ink, coated with white embossing powder, and then heat set until smooth. To finish off the little heart I added white stitching with a gel pen.

The beautiful sequins used on this card are from one of Kat’s new mixes. It’s called Neon Barbie and contains many beautiful pink and clear sequins along with stars. I used both large clear and small pink glitter to layer the sequins onto the heart. I love the way the pink glitter sequins add just a little something different!

Thank you all for stopping by today! Check out all of these products and much more at Kat Scrappiness.com.

See you next time!
