Shaker Cards in different sizes

Hello Kat Scrappiness fans! Martha Lucia here with you. Today I have two fun projects to share with you. I am featuring some of the new Sprinkles in combination with some of my favorites die cuts and the new acetate sheets.

My first project is a square shaker card. The base of my card is basic black card stock and the second layer is piece of designer paper. I die cut two zig zag stitched square dies onto watercolor paper and made a faux watercolor technique over both pieces, using the Double Ended Markers from Leisure Arts and Ink Potion No. 9 over my craft mat. I let the square pieces dry naturally.

With a perforated flap die from my stash, I die cut the window on the front panel and decorated it with some imagines from the stamp set Mother’s Day Love from Joy Clair Stamps. I colored the stamped images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and pasted a piece of grass that I die cut onto olive green cardstock with one of the dies included on the He is Risen die cuts from Kat Scrappiness.

To create the window of my square shaker card, I used one of the new acetate sheets from Kat Scrappiness and the Little Piggy Sprinkes in combination with the Blue Kiwaii Cloud Sprinkles. OMG, you have to see the collection of sprinkles, they are amazing and with exclusive designs.

My second card is a regular size card. I love Christmas and the new release of sprinkles include several christmas designs that are perfect for this season.

This card features the Mandala Frame die and I just die cut a circle with the Never Ending Circle Dies on the center to let see the Christmas Candy Sprinkles. For the background I used Gold/Gold Starstruck Rinea Foiled Paper, this add the shiny touch to my card .I used the circle that I die cut from the center of the Mandala Frame to stamp two images included on the stamp set Dog Gone Christmas from Joy Clair. I colored the Christmas dog with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.

Friendship Greetings
Hope everyone had a great Easter, we are well into spring here in Oklahoma now! Hopefully, it lasts more than a week.

Today, I’m sharing a card I created using the new Friendship Greetings stamp set along with some other products from the Kat Scrappiness shop.

I stamped and colored the large flower cluster from the Friendship Greetings stamp set with Copic markers. I then covered the flowers with a Spectrum Noir clear overlay marker. I added a drop of yellow Nuvo drops to the center of the largest flowers and pink Nuvo drops to the berries. I die cut a piece of purple card stock using the Mandala Frame die and backed the openings with pink card stock.

I used a sentiment from the Friendship Greetings stamp set and heat embossed it with white embossing powder on a Stitched Fishtail banner die that I die cut from green card stock. I die cut an additional Stitched Fishtail banner in white card stock, cut it in half, and added it to the back of the green banner allowing the white banner to show on the ends.

I adhered the flowers and sentiment banner to the mandala frame using foam adhesive. I added this panel to my white card base and cut tiny strips of green card stock and adhered those to the sides of the mandala frame. To finish off the card, I added three clear droplets around the flower.

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.

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

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!

February Release Day 2 – Mandala Die and Mandala Frame

Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans! Are you ready for Day 2 of the February reveals? For our projects today the design team is showcasing the Mandala Die with the Mandala Frame. These dies will either go perfectly well together, layered or used on its own. We also have a giveaway everyday during the release so scroll down at the end of the blog post to find out how you can WIN these dies.

Mandala Die

Mandala Frame

Here are some samples created by the design team:

CAREN BARTHOLOMEW

Caren inked up the background with some distress oxide inks and die cut another piece of some white card stock using the Mandala die. She adhered this piece on top of her inked background and stamped her sentiment using the same ink for a seamless look. Simple and elegant!

In this card, Caren used the Mandala die as a stencil and inked up the card stock with some distress oxide inks. She finished her design by adding the sentiment script “Hello Friend” from the shop.

LISA GOLZBEIN

Lisa had cut the Mandala Frame with a light blue card stock. She die-cut the Mandala die using some white card stock and adhered both on her card base. She colored a cute critter and used the Hello from the “Hello My Crafty Friend” sentiment script die. How adorable is this card?

For Lisa’s second project, she used both the Mandala Frame and Mandala dies again and added the coffee cup image from the Let’s Get Caffeinated stamp set. She also used some Brown Jewels to finish her design.

For Lisa’s third card, she created a square card using the Mandala die and adhered the “love” sentiment using the I Love You Shadow dies, just released last month.

MARIA RUSSELL

I used the Mandala die as a decorative background for my card. Even though it is not the focal point, the die-cut pieces really stood out on this card. I die-cut the Mandala die twice with some white card stock and adhered them onto a light beige card base. I stamped the flowers with different lawn fawn inks available at the shop and die cut using the coordinating dies. I heat-embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and die-cut the globe using the dies. The stamp set I used is called Globe Greetings from Concord & 9th. I finished my design by adding some Pink Sparkling Jewels from the shop. Here’s a closer look:

I die-cut the Mandala frame on some white card stock and adhered this piece on a blue card base. I stamped my celestial background on another piece of Neenah solar white card stock with some Lawn Fawn inks and die-cut this piece using the Cross Stitched Circle frame die. I adhered this piece in the middle of the Mandala frame and finished my design by adding my critters and Sparkling clear jewels from the shop. I didn’t think this card needed a sentiment in the front. Here’s a closer look:

MARTHA GOMEZ

Martha created this beautiful card using both the Mandala Die and the Mandala Frame. She inked up her background using distress oxide inks. She die-cut the Mandala Frame from some white card stock and adhered this piece on her inked background. Martha inked up another piece of card stock and die-cut this piece with the Mandala die. She adhered this piece on her card. She finished her design by stamping her sentiment on the Stitched Sentiment Strip die. What a beautiful card, Martha!

PRISCILLA JOSEPH

Priscilla had die-cut the Mandala die and used another die from Papertrey Ink to make it look like the moon. This card is so beautiful and unique! She also used the “Love You to the Moon and Back” sentiment strip die and finished her design with some sequin mixes from the shop. Here’s a closer look:

Priscilla created two birthday-themed card for her second and third project using the Mandala Frame die and Mandala die. She also used the Happy Birthday script sentiment die with some Superhero Star Sprinkles Embellishment to finish the card design. Priscilla, you outdid yourself this month with all of your projects! Wow!

TINA GUIGUI DORNBAUM

Tina created this beautiful and elegant card by coloring some Yupo paper with alcohol inks and die cut the same with the Mandala frame die. She adhered this piece on a white card base and die cut the Mandala frame die with white card stock. She finished the design by adding her sentiment using the stitched sentiment strip die.
