  • Easy Easter Cards with Kat Scrappiness Mandala Frame and Lawn Fawn

    Hello crafty friends! I’m excited to share one of the new products from Kat Scrappiness. One of my favorites from the new release is the Mandala Frame. I love using it to create card sets like the one I’m featuring today. I was inspired by the colors from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Spring and Rainbow paper pads. For more details on how I made these cards check out the video below.

    After cutting the backgrounds from the patterned paper I picked out some coordinating inks and jewels. I picked out the Kat Scrappiness jewels in Lime Green, Lilac and Teal. As mentioned in the video I originally intended to mix up all the colors but I also liked the monochromatic look. Let me know which one was your favorite.

    In addition to keeping it simple with the gorgeous Kat Scrappiness die, I also decided to keep it simple by stamping the duck image from the Lawn Fawn Easter Party set onto patterned paper. Having the subtle background under simple coloring I can add interest without having to add detailed shading.

    Above you can see a mixed card and below you can see the monochromatic version. I personally don’t know which I like better but I do know those Kat Scrappiness Jewels are a perfect finishing touch every time!

     

  • Mandala Die – Happy Valentine’s Day

    Mandala Die – Happy Valentine’s Day

    Have you been keeping up with the February release?  Today is the grand finale!  Be sure to check out all the beautiful dies that were released this week.

    For today’s card, I’m using the new Mandala die from Kat Scrappiness.  I love all the new dies buy I think this one is my favorite!

    I die cut the Mandala die four times out of some white card stock.  I then found a perfect sized circle from Kat Scrappiness’ Never Ending circle dies to back the Mandala die.  I cut the circle die out of purple card stock.  I then sponged a little bit of Dusty Concord distress ink into the center of each purple circle.  I adhered the white Mandala die cuts to the purple circles and adhered them to my card base.

    For the sentiment, I used one of the Stitched Sentiment dies.  I heat embossed my sentiment using white embossing power.  I then sponged on Dusty Concord distress ink.  I adhered it to my card using foam adhesive, then added some Lilac jewels to finish off the card.

    Here are a couple of other cards I created for the Mandala die release:

  • Love You Card featuring New Valentine’s Products

    Hello crafty friends! I’m excited to share some of the new Valentine’s products from Kat Scrappiness. One of my favorites from the new release is the I Love You Shadow Dies. The mix of fonts and the layered aspect make this a really lovely set. I decided to use it as my main inspiration. I cut the shadow from vellum and picked some pale colors of Distress Oxide ink to keep this a very soft pretty card. I used Shaded Lilac, Tattered Rose, and Cracked Pistachio. For more details on how I made this card check out the video below.

    To create the background I used the new Say It with Hearts stamp set. I love how well Distress Oxides work for both stamping and techniques. I finished off the card with some glossy accents and Lilac Jewels from Kat Scrappiness. The jewels are my new favorite way to finish off any card.
