  • Easy Cardmaking – Make a Happy Birthday Shaker Card using Die Cuts!

    Easy Cardmaking – Make a Happy Birthday Shaker Card using Die Cuts!

    Hello my Crafty Friends!

    Angelique Vuur here, one of Kat’s creative makers! From now on, you will see me here monthly with a new card. I hope you all will like what I show you! I always love to read your comments, and please let me know if you’d like to see a particular project.

    Now back to the card! We all have those moments, when you need a birthday card but don’t have one in your stash. well, I’ve got you covered with an easy card, made with the new Kat Scrappiness Card Builder Dies

    🧰 Kat Scrappiness Supplies Used

    • Card Builder craft dies 1
    • Birthday Quokka 6×6 paperpad
    • Birthday Quokka Ephemera Pack
    • Glitter Sequin Mix – Peacock Blue
    • Silver Bullet Shaker Dots

    📋 Card Details:

    • I mostly make 5×7 inch cards, because I like the extra border around. So a 5×7 side-folding cream card, but you also can use an A2 side-folding cream card base. By this last option you don’t have the extra border.
    • Using the new Kat Scrappiness Essential Card Builder Dies 1, with the yellow cardstock with bubbles from the paperpad, created a frame for the shaker front.

    • Die cut again a frame with this die on a yellow cardstock.
    • Adhered the normal yellow frame to the red cardstock out of the paper pad.

    • For an extra festive look, I die cut again on a cardstock with colored circles out the paper pad, but this time with the little pieces within the frame.
    • Adhered these pieces on the red cardstock, being the background of the shaker.
    • Furthermore, I adhered a piece of clear acetate behind the yellow frame with the bubbles, being the front of the shaker.

    You can fill up the shaker with shaker bits of your choice. Kat Scrappiness has a HUGE assortment with all kinds of shaker bits. Don’t forget to look on the website by Embellishments!

    • Adhered the front of the shaker to the foam tape. And the shaker part itself is done!

    • Now the decorating part, you can use whatever you like! Adhered some ephemera pieces to the front of the card, as you see on the picture. I wanted to keep the separate areas on top of the card intact. So I placed the presents in one area and the sweet quokka with balloon in another. Some with glue and some with some foam tape. For a sentiment, I used the “Happy b-day” from the ephemera pack.
    • If chosen for an A2 card: adhere the whole shaker part to your A2 side-folding card and your card is finished.
    • If you choose a 5×7 card: adhere the whole shaker part to a slightly bigger dark blue piece of cardstock and next adhere this to your 5×7 card. I cut off a bit of the card so the border is evenly wide. And the card is finished!

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Hello Crafty Friends! Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs.   I am back again today with another “crafty” card!  When faced with the age-old ultimatum—“It’s me or the craft supplies!”—this card makes the answer hilariously clear: “we’ll miss you, dear husband… now hand me those foam dots.”

    I used the fabulously relatable “Will Work for Craft Supplies” collection along with the tried-and-true “Crafters Gonna Craft” stamp set , both from Kat Scrappiness, to build a background as dramatic as the dilemma.

    • Created a “crafty” background stamping several of the images from the Crafters Gonna Craft Clear Stamp Setonto a blue patterned paper from the same coordinating paper pad and adhered it over the pink layer.

     

    • Stamped and die cut the wife image from the stamp set and colored it with Copic Markers.
    • Stamped the sentiment onto her sign.

    • Foam mounted the wife image to the front of the card.
    • Added several sprinkles from the Frosted Fairyland Sprinkle Mix for the finishing touch!

    So the next time your significant other questions your “tiny little order” (read: 3 lbs of patterned paper), just show them this card and smile sweetly. And if they still don’t get it? Well, as the saying goes… “don’t let the cutting mat hit you on the way out.”

  • Using Die Cut Ephemera to Make a Quick and Easy Birthday Card

    Using Die Cut Ephemera to Make a Quick and Easy Birthday Card

    Hello Crafty Friends! Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs. Today I am sharing a birthday card that is not only “clean & simple” in its design, but even better . . . so quick to make! Need a last minute card? Ready-to-go die cut ephemera (no coloring needed) is your best friend!

    To create this card, I used the Kat Scrappiness “Birthday Quokka” die cut ephemera as the focal point. And to add a bit of texture to the plain white backdrop, I scored some vertical lines down the center for a cool, minimalistic look.

    Check out all the die cut ephemera in the Kat Scrappiness shop HERE!

    Card Details:

    • Created an A2 top-folding white card base.
    • Scored a smaller layer of white cardstock using a scoreboard and teflon scoring tool to create clean and simple texture in the center of the card.
    • Adhered the top layer to the card base.

     

    Kat has added a new bone folder to the store. Check it out HERE!

     

     

     

     

     

    • For the finishing touch, I scored the envelope flap using the same scoring technique as I did for the front of the card.

    Hello Crafty Friends! Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs. Today I am sharing a two-page “Junk Journal” spread with a “vintage vibe” using several products from the Kat Scrappiness “Vintage Romance” collection of stamps, dies, and patterned papers. Sometimes it’s just fun to take a break from clean and simple card making and get messy! And with junk journaling, there are no rules! Enjoy!

    • Adhered a vintage feel tissue paper across a two-page spread and sponged turquoise acrylic paint over it.

    • Adhered the medallion to the top of the left page, cutting off the excess.
    •  Sprinkled several heart images from the Vintage Romance stamp/die set across the spread.

  • Finding a Different Use for a Card Stencil

    Finding a Different Use for a Card Stencil

    Hello Crafty Friends! Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs. Today I am sharing a funny card featuring one of the images from the Kat Scrappiness “Easter Fun” stamp set. This poor chick just realized that his brother Pete met the somber demise that most eggs do. I created the bright background by using Kat’s “Party Balloons” stencil, BUT I turned it sideways to look like egg yolks! Then I used Kat’s new blending brushes to blend orange and yellow inks over the openings in the stencils. Viola! Not balloons anymore, but fried eggs!

     

    Click to check out all of Kat’s stencils in her store. 

    Card Details:

    • Using the new Kat Scrappiness blending brushes, inked over the stencil openings with both orange and yellow pigment inks to turn the balloons into “fried eggs”, being careful not to ink up the balloon strings.

    • Die cut a rectangular opening in the finished cardstock to create an opening.

    • Added foam tape to the back of the newly created frame and adhered it to the card base.
    • Adhered the center cutout back into the opening.

    • Stamped and die cut the chick image from the Easter Fun stamp set and colored it with Copic markers.
    • Adhered the chick to the opening in the front of the card.
    • Die cut a black frame and adhered it around the center opening of the card.
    • Stamped the sentiment from the Hippity Hoppity Sentiments stamp set on an inked cardstock strip, framed it in black, and then adhered it with foam tape to the front of the card.
    • Added three Sunny-Side Up Egg Sprinkles for the finishing touch!
