  • A Simple Mother’s Day Card

    A Simple Mother’s Day Card

    Hello Friends!! Nora here from the Kat Scrappiness Design Team with a Mother’s Day Card featuring the new Kat Scrappiness Spring Fling 6″ by 8″ Paper Pad that came out this month. I love that I was able to use this paper for my background and every part of my flower bunch.

    Card Details:

    • Cut a piece of white cardstock into an 8 1/2″ by 4 1/2″ and fold it at the top
    • Using the aqua piece of paper from the Spring Fling paper, cut it into a 5 1/2″ by 3 1/4″ piece and adhere it to the card front on the right side
    • Slice the striped paper from the paper pack into a 5 1/2″ by 1″ strip and adhere it to the left side of the card
    • Die cut tulips out of the two pink solid papers in the Spring Fling pad, the stems out of the green and the bow out of the polka dot paper using the Tulip Bouquet Die Set.
    • Shade the flowers and the stems with Copic Markers or dye ink that is similar in color to the papers to give them some dimension. Adhere the flower stem and the tulips to the card. Using foam adhesive, adhere the front of the flower over the bottom.

    • Adhere the bow onto the card front
    • Stamp the sentiment using the Happy Day Stamp Set onto three pieces of white cardstock. Adhere the strips randomly onto the card front.
    • The last step is to randomly glue pearls from the Sea Foam Pearl Mix on the card front.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by today. Be sure to pop back in later today for a NEW Kat Scrappiness shaker and stencil release. You don’t want to miss it!!

  • Birthday Essential Dies

    Birthday Essential Dies

    Happy Thursday everyone!  It’s Caren here on the blog today, and I’m sharing a clean and simple card using the Birthday Essentials die set.

    Here is how I created my card:

    • I die cut the candles and flames from the Birthday Essential die set from white card stock
    • I ink blended the flames using yellow distress ink
    • I added glossy accents to the flames
    • I ink blended scraps of white card stock with pink, orange, green, blue, and purple distress ink
    • I adhered the top candle piece to each ink blended card stock
    • I trimmed the blended card stock behind the candles
    • I adhered the candles and flames to my white card base with dimensional adhesive
    • To finish the card, I added a strip of purple glitter card stock below the candles

    Thanks for stopping by.  Stay tuned to this weekend there may be something new on the way!

  • Spring Fling Thanks Card

    Spring Fling Thanks Card

    Hello my crafty friends! Sammi here to share a card made with the new Spring Fling 6×8 Paper Pack, which I love the colors in this pack! I decided I wanted to play with the polka dots, and I thought the Never Ending Circle dies would be perfect to compliment this paper. Here is how I made this card:

    1. Using the Emossed Rope Rectangle dies, I used the larger die to cut out the solid seafoam colored paper, and then I used the next size down die to cut out the solid coral colored paper and the polka dot paper.
    2. Using one of the Never Ending Circle die, I cut out the middle of the polka dot paper, and then popped it up with foam tape on top of the coral colored piece.
    3. I then cut out the Thanks sentiment using the Thanks w/ Shadow Word die three times from 110lb Neenah cardstock and glued them on top of each other so I had depth. I then glued the Thanks sentiment in the middle of the circle with some Bearly Art Glue.
    4. I then glued the polka dot piece onto the seafoam colored piece, then glued the panel onto a prepared A2 sized card base.
    5. To finish the look, I added some Seafoam Pearl Mix and Bumble Bee Pearl Mix embellishments.

    I love how this card turned out and it was so easy to put together! Great if you need to make a Thanks card! Many other sentiments will work for this technique as well, so check out all of the sentiment word dies from Kat Scrappiness! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

  • Happy Mother’s Day

    Happy Mother’s Day

    Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends! Priscilla here from the Kat Scrappiness Design Team. Today I am sharing a Mother’s Day card featuring an adorable quokka, complete with her own British “Fascinator” headpiece. A quokka (pronounced k waa-kuh) is a short-tailed scrub wallaby from Australia. She’s known as the “World’s Happiest Animal.” What an appropriate critter then to wish any Mom a “Happy Mother’s Day!”

    I used the Kat Scrappiness Valentine Quokka Stamp Set and Coordinating dies, the Happy Mother’s Day Word Die and Shadow, and several papers from the new 6″ x 8″ Spring Fling Paper Pad.

    Card Details:

  • Bunny Kisses – Interactive Shadow Card

    Bunny Kisses – Interactive Shadow Card

    Good Morning, it’s Kathy from the Design Team! It’s time for some more inspiration on the Kat Scrappiness blog today. While Easter is over I had to share my last Easter wish of the season with you. This is a cute interactive shadow box with the adorable Hippity Hoppity Stamp Set and Hippity Hoppity Sentiment Stamps. I also used the Spring Fling paper pack from Kat Scrappiness. The colors are amazing, the paper is double-sided and the pack also includes solid colors. This card was inspired by Funn University and Mary Gunn. I will link to the video below so you can get measurements for a card that measures 4.25″ x 4.25″ Mine is larger and I fumbled a bit with it so do as I say not as I do, check out the video!

    As I mentioned I am giving you the dimensions for a card that measures 4.25″ x 4.25″. Here is a tip for making this card – DON’T use 110 lb card stock. This card will stand on its own with 80 lb card stock. I have included a graphic below to show you the measurements and score lines.

    Card Supplies

    Card Details

    I am not going to go into too many details because it is better to watch the video. You can make your card any size you want so remember that whatever the size of your center panel you need to add 1″ to get the correct envelope size. So for a 4,25″ center your final card inserted into an envelope will be 5.25″. So if you use the template above your card will fit into a standard A2 envelope.

    Here are the rough details for the card I made. (Again, I am not going to give you my measurements. Follow the template for a more normal-sized card.)

    • Cut 2 pieces of card stock to the measurements in the graphic above.
    • Score at 1/2″ and 1″ on both ends using your Kat Scrappiness bone folder.
    • Fold and crease at all score lines.
    • Select the coordinating papers you want to use from the Spring Fling Paper Pack.
    • You will need a A2 pieces at 4.25″ x 4.25″. I used the dot pattern on the front and a beautiful coral solid for the inside.
    • You will need 2 OR 4 pieces cut 1/2″ x 4.25″. I only decorated one of the 1/2″ areas on both sides.
    • Cut a center out of the front panel area. Use a die you have in your stash.
    • Stamp and color your two images. These images will cover a small sentiment so test them out. There were many perfect sentiments for me to use in the Kat Scrappiness Hippity Hoppity Sentiment set.
    • Stamp another sentiment for the front of your card. I stamped Hoppy Easter on a small circle die. The flowers were part of the Hippity Hoppity Bunny set and I just cut them off one of the stamped bunny images.
    • I didn’t have a die to create grass so I used my handy scissors. Hey….it works!
    • Work out the placement of your stamped images. You can have them meet in the middle or stack on top of each other. Watch this video for the mechanics.
    • Once I had all the mechanics worked out (well, I didn’t because I don’t follow instructions very well!) Use double-sided adhesive to adhere all of your elements. TIP: I add a bit of liquid glue to the top of the double-sided adhesive which allows me some wriggle room.

    These stamps and sentiments from Kat Scrappiness are perfect for this type of card. I encourage you to hop over to the shop to see all of the other critters you could use like our Quokkas! Check them out as well. As always, thank you for stopping by I appreciate everyone of you. Have a fabulous day!

  • Happy Easter!

    Happy Easter!

    Happy Easter everyone!

    It’s Donna Idlet here sharing my last Easter card for the season.  I know I am a little early, but wanted to share.  Kat Scrappiness has lots of Easter/Spring products.  Here is the link if you would like to check it out.  The cute bunny is from the Hippity Hoppity Bunnies Stamp Set that was released last month.  This set, can be used for more than Easter, it can be used for Birthday cards and Mother’s Day.

    Here is my card for your inspiration:

    Here is how I created my card:

    • Created an A2 card measuring 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.
    • The background layer measures  3 3/4″ x 5″, the top layer measures 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″
    • Cut strip from the Hop into Easter 6×8 paper pad, using the Boxed Sentiment Strips, measuring 4 1/2” x 3/4”.
    • Die cut the Happy Easter w/Shadow twice, once with white glitter paper and the top layer with purple, glued the pieces together offsetting the purple.  Cut the shadow with vellum.
    • Stamped and die cut the bunny from the KS Hippity Hoppity Bunnies Stamp Set, and colored the image with copics.  Added some Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents to the balloon, and added some Wink of Stella onto the bow for finishing touches.
    • Assembled the card and added some Violet Pearl Mix to finish the card.

     

    Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have been inspired!

  • Bunny Wishes to You!

    Bunny Wishes to You!

    Happy Monday Crafty Friends! Priscilla here from the Kat Scrappiness Design Team. Today I am sharing an Easter card loaded with adorable bunnies that I white heat embossed over a soft pastel background created with the recently released “Saltwater Taffy” Distress Oxide color and three others.

    I used the new Kat Scrappiness Hippity Hoppity Bunnies 4×6 Stamp set and coordinating sentiment stamp set to make today’s card.

    Card Details:

    • Created an A2 top-folding white card base.
    • Die cut a slightly smaller layer of white cardstock and softly sponged “Scattered Straw,” “Dried Marigold,” the NEW “Saltwater Taffy,” and “Frayed Burlap” Distress Oxide inks, blending these colors together from top to bottom.
    • Making sure the inks were dried, I placed all the bunny images on my card front inside of my MISTI and stamped them with Versamark Ink, and then white heat embossed them.
    • Die cut the “Happy Easter” with shadow die twice, adhered them together, and then sponged the same Distress Oxide colors used on the card front over the words in the same order.

    Thank you so much for stopping by! Don’t forget to check out what’s NEW in Kat’s Shop, and follow my blog, Instagram, and Facebook for more “Kat Scrappiness Amazingness”!

  • Spring Fling Birthday Card!

    Spring Fling Birthday Card!

    Hi crafty friends! Sammi here to share a card I made using the new Spring Fling paper pack. I just love this paper pack! It has some GORGEOUS prints! I decided to go with the striped and solid paper for this card, along with the Friendship Greetings stamp set and Happy Birthday w/ Shadow word die. Here is how I made my card:

    1. First, I cut the striped paper to, the size of the A2 card panel, with the stripes going horizontal across. I then cut a piece of the coral paper 2.75 x 5.5 inches and a piece of black paper 2.5 x 5.5 inches.
    2. I then treated the black strip of paper with the Telescopic Embossing Powder Tool and then heat embossed the larger floral from the Friendship Greetings stamp set on opposite corners of the black strip of paper using white embossing powder.
    3. Using tape runner adhesive, I glued the black paper on top of the coral, then using foam tape, I glued it onto the striped paper panel.
    4. I then cut the shadow part of the word die with the mint solid paper and then the Happy Birthday with the coral solid paper. To add depth, I then cut the Happy Birthday twice out of black cardstock, and then glued them together with Bearly Art Glue, with the coral paper on top. I then glued the Happy Birthday onto the shadow piece.
    5. I then glued the sentiment onto the card panel in the middle of the strip and then glued the card panel onto a white card base I made with Neenah #110 paper. To finish the look, I added some Sparkling Snow Pearl Mix embellishments.

    The card came out just as I imagined it would, and it is so easy to make! Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!!

  • Hello – Spring Fling Paper

    Hello – Spring Fling Paper

    Hello crafters, it’s Caren here on the blog today with a card featuring the new Spring Fling paper.

    I choose two coordinating papers from the Spring Fling paper pad.  I die cut the striped piece using the largest die from the Stitched Scalloped rectangle dies.  I adhered this directly to my black card base.  I cut a rectangle from the other coordinating paper and layered it onto a solid piece of yellow paper from the Spring Fling paper pad.  I adhered this piece to my card.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and floral image from the Friendship Greetings stamp set onto a black circle I die cut using the Never Ending Circle dies.  I layered this onto a pink Stitched Scalloped circle.  The pink paper is also from the Spring Fling paper pad.  I adhered this to the card using dimensional foam adhesive.  I added Blank Onyx and Bumble Bee pearls to finish the card.

    Thanks for stopping by!
