    Happy Hippity Hoppity Easter!

    Hello crafty friends! Sammi here to show you a very cute and easy Easter card using the new Hippity Hoppity stamp set. I just love these new bunnies!! They are so cute! Here is how you can make this card!

    1. Using the Mini Slimline Scalloped Edge die set, I cut out the pink gingham paper from the Hop Into Easter paper pack. I then popped it onto a mini slimline card base with foam tape.
    2. Using the Happy Easter w/ Shadow die, I cut out the sentiment three times and ink blended with Distress Ink to get the teal color I wanted. I then glue the pieces on top of each other so I go dimension. I then cut the shadow with vellum and glue them together and glued it on top of the pink gingham card base. When gluing with vellum, be sure to only apply glue where the sentiment goes so the glue won’t show.
    3. I then stamped the bunnies from the Hippity Hoppity stamp set and colored them with Copic makers and fussy cut them out. I then popped them up on the card base with foam tape.
    4. I then added some Aqua Transparent jewels for that finished look.

    I love how easy this card is to make and it is so cute! I love the new Hop Into Easter paper! the gingham is great! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

  • Happy Birthday Big 50!

    Happy Birthday Big 50!

    Happy Saturday Everyone! Priscilla here from the Kat Scrappiness Design Team. Today I am sharing a birthday card for someone hitting the BIG 5-0! This cards “sings” Happy Birthday with its sheet music background, party banners, a giant “Happy Birthday” sentiment, and of course, the BIG # 5-0!

     

    I used the new Kat Scrappiness Layered Party Banner Coverplate Die to make today’s card. This stitched and layered coverplate includes six separate party banners that allow you to cut and layer the banners in any color or pattern you’d like!  The coverplate measures approximately 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.

     

    Card Details:

     

    • Gold heat embossed a floral pattern on black cardstock before die cutting the numbers 5-0 using the Kat Scrappiness Condensed Numbers Dies.
    • Die cut the numbers again using black cardstock, offsetting it underneath the floral patterned numbers, and then adhering to the front of the card.
    • Added several Kat Scrappiness gold pearls for a finishing touch.

  • Birthday Bunnies – Kat Scrappiness March Release

    Birthday Bunnies – Kat Scrappiness March Release

    Good Morning! Kathy here from the Kat Scrappiness Design Team.  Check out the Kat Scrappiness Blog for some inspiration from me. Today I am sharing the March Release from Kat Scrappiness! It is full of bunnies and they are adorable. The new paper pack is bright and bold and can be used for more than just Easter with the fabulous new sentiment set. This is a release that will be part of my stash for a long time to come, it is just THAT cute! Today I am making a birthday card and am thrilled that you are here to join me. Let’s get started!

    Card Supplies

    Card Details

    • Cut, score, and fold a top-folding A2 card base from the Neenah Classic Crest card stock.
    • From the Hop Into Easter paper Pack select your pattern paper and cut to 4.25″ x 5″.
    • Cut a coordinating piece of colored card stock 3.75″ x 4.5″.
    • Cut your patterned paper 1/8″ smaller on both sides.
    • Cut another panel 1/8″ smaller from the white card stock.
    • Use the Stitched Cover Plate die with the white card stock and run it through your die-cut machine.
    • Layer the patterned paper and the die-cut panel together and with a paper trimmer cut at a diagonal about 1.5″ up from the bottom. This will leave you with two panels that you can use for two cards.
    • Glue the die-cut panel and the patterned paper panel to the colored card stock panel as shown below.
    • If there is a small gap no worry as we will cover this with the sentiment.
    • Stamp and fussy cut (I used my Brother Scan N Cut) the balloon bunny image. Next, color your image. I used colors that coordinated with my patterned paper.
    • Now it is time for the sentiment. When stamping I always use a stamp platform. If I don’t I can guarantee the sentiment will be crooked. However, if you have a steady hand and a juicy ink pad go for it! (light pressure though!) Select a coordinating piece of card stock for your sentiment. Use the Kat Scrappiness Embossing Powder Tool and brush the anti-static powder onto the card stock. With white pigment ink stamp your sentiment. Add embossing powder and heat with your tool.
    • Then I used a flag die to cut my sentiment but your paper trimmer will do just fine. You can always create a flag with scissors.
    • For the flag banner, I cut the little flags from the Birthday Essentials Die Set from coordinating card stock. Because I wanted a perfect curve for the string I used a circle die to help. So here is a tip…
      • Use a circle die and tape it down where you want the banner on the cloud background. Next, add glue along the edge of the circle die then press your string into place. After a few seconds, slowly remove the die. (and clean off the glue!)
    • After the banner string had dried, the tiny flag pieces were added with a tiny bit of foam on the bottom and a line of glue on top.
    • I trimmed down the string and added two silver round confetti for a finished look.
    • The bunny was popped up with foam tape and glue (for the bit over the banner).
    • The sentiment flag was added with glue.
    • The main panel adhered to the patterned paper panel with foam tape. Finally, the whole thing was added to the card base with double-sided adhesive.

    That’s it the card is done. There are a few fussy bits of cutting and die-cutting here but super simple to do. As always, thanks for stopping by and creating this card with me. I appreciate all of you. Please stop by the Kat Scrappiness Store and get these bunnies while they last!  Have a wonderful day!

  • . . . Because It’s Ireland Somewhere

    . . . Because It’s Ireland Somewhere

    Happy Friday Everyone! Priscilla here from the Kat Scrappiness Design Team. Today I am sharing a St. Patty’s card, perfect for cardmakers who are also coffee lovers. Nothing wrong with adding a “shot of Irish Happiness” to your morning coffee, right?

    The adorable quokka from the Kat Scrappiness Everyday Quokka Stamp Set is, for sure, enjoying his “Bailey’s-infused” java.

    Card Details:

    • Created an A2 top-folding card base with kraft cardstock.
    • Die cut a green patterned paper with the largest of the Kat Scrappiness  Distressed Edge Rectangle Dies and adhered to the front of the card.
    • Using 2 of the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banner Dies and some coordinating patterned papers, die cut 2 banners for an added design element.
    • Die cut 2 stitched circles and inserted a round plastic shaker pouch in the middle of the smaller one to create the shaker element for card.
    • Added Luck of the Irish Sprinkle Mix in the pouch and adhered the shaker to the front of the card.

    • Stamped the sentiment from Riley & Co, “I put some Bailey’s . . .” onto a white cardstock rectangle, framed it with green glitter paper, and adhered it to front of the card.
    • Colored the quokka, his glasses, and a coffee cup from the Everyday Quokka Stamp Set with Copic Markers, cut them out with the Coordinating Dies, and adhered the quokka to the front of the card.
    • Added one of the rainbow sprinkles from Luck of the Irish Sprinkle Mix to customize the front of the mug.
    • For a finishing touch, added a “Cheers!” speech bubble from my stash.

  • 2 for 1 Card Design

    2 for 1 Card Design

    Hello Crafty Friends!! Nora here today with two cards using the same basic supplies. Unlike how I ordinarily make cards, I created both these cards at the same time. I usually make my cards separately but I wanted to use the Kat Scrappiness Butterfly Backdrop Die for one of my designs, and I knew that I could create a second card using some of the butterfly die cuts.

    Below is the card process I used to design my cards.

    • I started out by blending orange ink on a piece of 5 1/2″ by 4 1/4″ piece of white cardstock. I used the same ink for the whole sheet, lightly blending the orange at the top and using more ink at the bottom. I watered down some of the orange ink and some white pigment ink and flicked it across the front. When the ink was dry, I die cut the panel using the KS Butterfly Backdrop Die.
    • Next I stamped the largest flower from the Friendship Greetings Stamp Set with the orange ink in a diagonal across a white, A2, top folding card front. I also used the same stamp to randomly stamp across the die cut panel. I adhered my orange panel on top of the stamped, white card base.

    • My last step was to use the die cut butterflies across both of my cards. Some of the butterflies were adhered using foam adhesive and others were just glued on flat.

    These cards may look complicated but creating both at the same time really cut down on the time it makes to create just one! I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by today!!! Please pop on over to the blog again this week to see more fabulous creations from the Design Team!!

  • Make A Wish-Die-Cut Wobble Card

    Make A Wish-Die-Cut Wobble Card

    Do you like interactive cards? do you like easy cards? This is Kathy with the Design Team.  I am up on the Kat Scrappiness Blog with just that! Recently I have fallen in love with the Birthday Essentials die set from Kat Scrappiness and wobbles! These cards are so easy to make. So let me show you how!

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuHLs4eejwg]

    • Cut, score, and fold a standard A2 card base.
    • Cut the background panel from the Birthday Essentials Paper Pack. Size 4″ x 5.25″
    • Die-cut a 4.25″ x 5.5″ white panel with the Stitched Clouds Cover Die. We will trim this to 3.5″ x 4.75″.
    • Die-cut the Make A Wish sentiment from a card stock that coordinates with your patterned paper.
    • Cut a piece of vellum to 1.25″ x 4″.
    • Put liquid glue on the back of sentiment, center, and adhere to vellum. I let the glue dry for about 30 seconds or tap some of the glue before applying it to the vellum.
    • Die-Cut your balloons in a solid color card stock. Don’t lose the litte highights. These will be inlaid after we glue the balloon pieces together.
    • I also cut an additional white piece for each balloon. Glue the colored piece to the white piece. Allow drying.
    • I put a tiny piece of tape on the back of each balloon where the highlight was cut from. Then I glued both highlights in. White highlight gets glued on top.
    • The strings were cut from white card stock as well.
    • I added a wobble to the largest balloon.
    • Decide where you want your balloons to go. It helps to adhere to your sentiment first. You can cut the strings of the balloons if needed.
    • Glue the smaller balloons directly to the white panel. Remove the tape from the wobble, add a bit of glue and glue the largest balloon down.
    • Now go crazy with sequins 🙂 I wanted the sequins to draw your eye upward.
    • I used double-sided adhesive to attach these two layers to the card base. That’s it the card is done!

  • A Happy Birthday Card

    A Happy Birthday Card

    Hello everyone!! It is Nora here on the blog with a card where I combined the Kat Scrappiness new Birthday Essentials 6 x 8 Paper Pack, the new Happy Birthday w/ Shadow Die and the Birthday Essentials Die Set to create a fun birthday card.

    Card Directions:

    1. Using the largest of the Kat Scrappiness Embossed Edge Rectangle Die, die cut a piece of white cardstock. Ink blend yellow ink on the background and adhere to a white, A2 card base.
    2. Die cut the Kat Scrappiness Happy Birthday sentiment from a piece of blue paper contained in the Birthday Essentials 6×8 paper pack. Cut the sentiment apart and adhere to the top section of the card. Make sure you curve “birthday” to draw the eye in.
    3. The present was created by using the Birthday Essentials Dies and more pieces from the Birthday Essentials 6×8 paper pack. Adhere the present and ribbon together and then glue to the card front.
    4. My last step was to adhere a mix of Basil, Lemon Yellow, Marshmallow and Midnight Sky pearls randomly around the front of the card. I wanted it to look like confetti and tried to pull the colors I used from the paper on my card. This is my favorite part of the card!!

    This card may look simple but it was a ton of fun to create. I hope this inspires you to create your own birthday card!!
