Coffee & Donuts

Hi everyone, Cheryl here, with another project to share. Ever hit a brick wall in crafting? That was my week! Every thing I tried to make didn’t work, fought me every step of the way! Lol, finally just had to push through.

I ran out of time and had to go with what I had, and this is it. Who doesn’t love coffee and donuts? I chose this stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs and colored it using my Zig markers. I added a bit of highlights to the “hair” with a sparkle pen. I fussy cut them out.

I chose the paper pad from Doodlebug called Cream & Sugar. Sooo cute! One of the papers is all strips so I picked a few and made an element of a few of them. I cut the coffee bean paper down to 5.25 x 4. and the pink layer is 5.o x 3.75. I layered them together and ran the strip element up from the bottom edge a bit. I popped up the two hedgehogs on foam squares and the coffee cup.

I then used a small circle die and cut out several of the little donuts from another paper from the pad. A few I popped up and a few I left flat on. I brushed them with a bit of Spectrum Noir sparkle brush. For the coffee cup, I stamped it on different papers and cut apart to paper piece it.

I selected sentiments from two different Gerda Steiner stamp sets. Stamped it out in a dark brown ink. And added some cute stamped hearts, too. Like…Sending you Coffee Love…lol!

So, that’s about it. Pretty easy, actually. And anyone can send me some coffee and donuts anytime! Hope you got a bit of inspiration, even though there are three cards laying on my desk that butted heads with me…and this one was a fight too. Oh well, we all have those days, I guess! Get out your fun things and craft something!

Classic Thank You Cards feat. Kat Scrappiness Dies

Hello, everyone! It’s Kevin again, this time sharing two classic thank you cards made with some of my favorite Kat Scrappiness dies. Before we get started, I want to tell you guys where I got my inspiration from. I am addicted to Instagram, like I am sure many of you are, and I came across a wonderful pair of cards from Marge. Make sure you check her out! Let’s get started with my versions-

http://wp.me/p7LAvt-Ih

I started by doing most of my die cutting. I used the Double Stitched Rectangles from KS to cut some kraft card stock and patterned paper from Lawn Fawn and my stash. On the smallest rectangles I white heat embossed some images from the stamp sets I am using- Lawn Fawn’s Octopi My Heart, I’m So Jelly and Virginia Turtle’s Pricks Really Suck.

Then I die cut a couple of the Fancy Scalloped Ovals from Kat Scrappiness and stamped the octopus and cactus on them. I stamped them a little bit higher than center to leave room for the sentiments.

Next, I die cut Kat’s “Thank You” dies and added some color using a few Distress Inks. I tried to get an ombre effect by adding heavier color to the bottom of the die cut. After layering the stitched rectangles onto a white A2 sized card bases I added the ovals with some foam tape. Then I used some tape runner to adhere the sentiments. I little bit of Wink of Stella on the sentiments finished them off.

I hope you found some inspiration today! I had a lot of fun creating this pair of thank you cards inspired by Marge. Have a great day!

Gold Foiling…

Hi everyone! Cheryl here today with another post for you. Today I’m showcasing some Foilables from Kat Scrappiness.

I used a piece of the chevron toner paper from Creative Vision Stamps, Pack 1. There’s four 8.5 x 11 sheets in each pack and you get 16 different patterns. Lots to play with!

I know in this pic the foiling looks black, or at least very dark, but it was a good view of the overall card. Foil is very difficult to get a good photo of. It is either totally bright or you don’t get the shine at all. It’s hard, lol. Anyway, I used one of the Gerbera daisies from the Mudra Gerbera Blooms stamp set. I embossed the image and used Distress inks to watercolor the image. I stamped out the leaves as well with Distress ink and spritzed with water and blotted off. I stamped the center as well and colored a brownish color. Popped it up on a foam square. I also popped the entire flower up on foam squares as well.

In this pic you get a better view of the gold foiling. So pretty! I mixed up some gold metallic paint and added spatters over the flower, leaves, and salmon color layer which was cut using one of KS Fancy Scalloped Rectangle dies. I then added that to the chevron piece, and the entire thing on to the front of an A2 card base.

I stamped out a sentiment from a Gerda Steiner Designs stamp set called Cheerful Hedgehog. I scattered around some sequins and added a few dots using Novu Enamel Dots in Ebony Black.

This close up gives you a good look at the gold spatters, the watercolor and the foiling.

I hope you got a bit of inspiration today. If you’ve never done any foiling before, you should really try it! It’s so fun when you peel it off and the beautiful image that is revealed is so fun. And so shiny!!!

Happy Crafting!

CAS Apology Card

Hey, everyone! It’s Kevin back as a designer for Kat Scrappiness!! I am so excited to share this super punny card with you today!

I started by doing some repetitive stamping with the cactus image from Virginia Turtle’s Pricks Really Suck stamp set onto a A2 sized card. Then I stamped, Copic colored, and fussy cut a separate cactus and popped it up on the card. For the sentiment, I grabbed the same Copic markers and made some custom colored card stock to stamp the cactus pun and cut it out with a Lawn Fawn banner die using the Gemini! A couple more banners made of a strip of polka dot paper and light green card stock finished off the card! Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you found some inspiration and are as excited as I am to be back!

Masculine Valentine

Hey crafty friends! Kevin here with one last Valentine’s Day project. With all the pink and red lately I thought I would change things up with a more masculine valentine that I could send to one of my fellow card makers, but it really cold be sent to anyone! Masculine cards seem to be a little more CAS than usual so I thought that I would add some texture using an embossing folder.

I used the We R Memory Keepers Gemstone Pack to create the embossed background to add a bit of dimension and interest. I used the second largest Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Rectangles to give it a nice finished border.

Then I ink blended a couple blues onto white paper and die cut a small heart from Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Hearts to be a bold pop of color on my CAS design. It is the perfect spot to add the super cool Mini Hello My Crafty Friend sentiment die from KS. A trio of Kat Scrappiness Let It Snow sequins completed it!

I really love how this card turned out and might just make 10 more to send to all my crafty people out there! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you found some CAS inspiration!

Masking Hearts for a CAS Valentine

Hi, everyone! Kevin back again with another Valentine. This one is super clean and simple but still packs a punch! Check it out!

I started by die cutting a couple masks from Inkadinkadoo masking paper and Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Heart Dies. I placed the smallest mask towards the top of the card . Then I grabbed Abandon Coral Distress Ink and faded it out from the center. I did the same with the next heart but with some Picked Raspberry.

This gave my card a dimensional look without layers. I spirited the card base with some shimmer water and added a XOXO Lawn Fawn die cut. I added some gold heat embossing for some extra oomph.

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out this simple Valentine. Have a great day!

Heart Shaker Card with Kat Scrappiness Heart Tags

Hey there, it’s Juhi. Today I am sharing a card I made using the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Heart Tag Dies and a bunch of other supplies from the store.

I first stamped these cute images from the Lawn Fawn Fairy Friends stampset on watercolor paper and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I then die-cut them.

Following this I created a Distress ink blended background. The colors I’ve used are – Evergreeen Bough, Cracked Pistachio, Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin, in that order. I then die-cut the ink blended background with the Kat Scrappiness Heart Tag Die.

I stamped the sentiment from HoneyBee Stamps on the die-cut heart and created the heart shaker. I finished the card by adding the die-cut fairies and a few sequins.

I hope you liked my card, I have also recorded a process video of how I made it. You can check it out here:

Shaker Tag Card feat. NEW Dies

Hi, everyone! Kevin here today sharing a card made with a couple of the brand new Kat Scrappiness dies, which are perfect for Valentine’s! Check it out!

I started by trying something brand new to me- stenciling. I used CC Designs’ Falling Stars stencil and some transparent texture paste on a craft card base to create a beautiful background for my shaker tag.

Next, I started die cutting. I used one of the larger Stitched Scalloped Nesting Tags Dies on a piece of the Heart Day paper pad from Crate Paper. Then I grabbed a medium Double Stitched Heart Die, also from KS, to cut the portion where my shaker pieces will be seen.

I added the acetate window to the tag and foam strips around the heart opening. Then I added some Candy Kisses sequins into the shaker. Then I added it all onto the card base and finished it off with some twine. I also used a sentiment bubble from one of the Crate Paper Heart Day patterns.

Thanks for stopping by and here are all the products from the Kat Scrappiness shop that I used in today’s projects.

Thank You Word Die + Lawn Fawn

Hi, everyone! I hope you all are having a great start to the new year! Since I received some great gifts for Christmas, I needed some thank you notes! I’m sure you do too! So I decided to break out some of my favorite Lawn Fawn products and pair them with the Kat Scrappiness “Thank You” word die.

This was a super simple card so let’s get right into it. All I did was stamp the branches from Lawn Fawn’s Frosty Fairy Friends stamp set and die cut them out. I didn’t have to color any of the images except for the berries. Then I used a Rope Embossed Circle die from KS to cut some Perfectly Plaid-Fall paper to back my sentiment. I die cut the Thank You 3 times to give it some dimension! Then I used my tape runner to adhere everything to a white card base. I did use a piece of fun foam on the circle to give the card some dimension. To finish it off I added a trio of Holiday Sparkles sequins from Kat Scrappiness.

Thank you for stopping by to check out my quick clean and simple thank yous! These would be great to reproduce multiple times and send all of your friends and family a note of thanks. Happy 2017!

-Kevin

Happy New Year!

Can you believe it, 2016 is almost over! Time sure flies! Today, I’m sharing a card I made for, you guessed it, new years! I’m glad I got a chance to try out the “Happy New year” Word Die from Kat Scrappiness just in time. I cut it out from gold glitter paper and I think it looks just fabulous!

I created the background by cutting out a panel using the Kat Scrappiness Stitched rectangle die from light pink textured cardstock. I really like the pink color and it goes great with gold!

The snowflakes are cut using the layering snowflakes die from Hero Arts. What’s amazing about this die is that the snowflakes cut halfway and not all the way through. You can then fold up the partially cut parts to create a beautiful 3D look! Here’s a closer look at the gorgeous snowflakes.

I hope you liked my card. Here’s wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year from all of us at Kat Scrappiness!
