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.

Fortune Teller Cat

Hello Friends,

Do you want to tell your friends and families’ fortune? Well now you can by creating a fun card using Lawn Fawn Fortune Telling Tabby Stamp set available at Kat Scrappiness.

I started this card by using the KS Crafter’s Essentials Winter Die. I die cut the card front then used the die as a stencil to dab ink through the design creating colored designs on the background.

Next I cut a frame using two KS rectangle dies. (Cut the larger die first then cut out the center using the smaller die.)

I added a floor to the scene by using wood grain paper and a thin strip of black paper as the floor molding. Lastly I attached the frame.

Stamp the focal image from the Lawn Fawn set, cut it out, and color it in coordinating colors. I used purples and yellows to match the background.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut using KS Crafter’s Essentials #1 die. The prediction from the stamp set was stamped onto the crystal ball. The image and sentiment banner were attached to the card front. A few crystals were added to the card and it is complete.

Haunted Scene Card

Hello crafting friends,

Adam here with a Halloween card made with the Kat Scrappiness Stamp set Toil and Trouble. I love making Halloween cards and hope you will enjoy making a version of this card for your own collection.

I started by die cutting a spooky tree (KS Fall Elements) and a grassy hill in black card stock (Gina K card stock). Next I stamped (using Tim Holtz Mustard Seed oxide ink) and cut out the cat (KS Toil and Trouble Stamp set) and colored it.

To create the background I masked off a section of a card front and placed a small circle in masking paper within the masked area. Now using Tim Holtz oxide inks in Faded Jeans, Dusty Concord, and Twisted Citron blended the background to create a spooky night sky. I removed the small masked circle and used the Twisted Citron over the spot forming the moon.

Stamped the sentiment (KS Toil and Trouble) in Memento Tuxedo Black ink below the blended area.

The final step is to adhere the pieces to the card front and my card is complete. Kat Scrappiness products are easily transformed into fun scenes. Share your creations with us on the fan page.

KS – Fall Elements Die set

Bright Coffee Fun!
Hi Friends! kel here today to share a bright and fun coffee card using the new Let’s Get Caffinated stamp set =o)

I definitely wanted to make the sentiment the focus of the card because it’s so cute!! I think it would be super cute to make it like a multi-colored subway art kinda thing too… something to try next!!

The sentiment was stamped with Memento black ink. I used the super cute coffee cups from the Coffee Chick stamp set by Your Next Stamp to randomly stamp out a background and then colored them up with my Copics. I wanted to stick with a fun and bright scheme but kinda messed up the spacing of the 3 colors which is why you’ll see a couple darker shares of green and orange in there haha!! After stamping out my sentiment, I trimmed it out to fit on a nice bright turquoise cutout from the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle dies and popped it up on some 3d squares. The last thing I did was add some glitter to the flowers on the cups because glitter=more fun!

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Life is Tough Card
Hi Friends! kel here today to share a card featuring some of the amazing dies in the Kat Scrappiness store!!

I started with the Stitched Scallop Border Dies, using the one with the smallest scallops. I took some of this yummy coordinating paper, 4 sheets total, and cut them to 4″ x 5.25″, perfect as a mat on this card. Then I started running them through my diecut machine, making sure to stagger them out so you could see the beautiful patterns. I tried to make the curve in the Stitched Scallop Border Die sorta line up on each layer, but I wasn’t super exact.

Then I used some matching baker’s twine as an accent behind the sentiment, cut out using the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies and used one of my favorite sentiments from the Everyday Brush Strokes Stamp Set, stamping it out Memento ink in Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap piece of white paper. The last thing I did was use my Crystal Katana to add some of these amazing new Jewels in Champagne to the card. They’re a beautiful yellowish-gold in the package, but because they’re kinda clear, they pick up some of the color of whatever they’re sitting on. So I love that they pulled some of the blue-grey from the paper!! So pretty!!

Oceans of Love
Hi Friends! kel here today to share a card featuring the one of the new backdrop dies, the Stitched Diagonal Backdrop Die in the Kat Scrappiness store!!!

I thought it was perfect to make a shaker card with, and wanted to use one of the adorable Heffy Doodle stamp sets from my latest KS haul (video coming soon!) as well! This set is Oceans of Love and there are some adorable sea creatures in here!! I was too lazy to mask the stamps, so did my best to line them up close to each other and with the exception of the sting ray’s tail, tried not to overlap them. After I stamped them out with my Memento ink in Tuxedo Black, I stamped out some of the bubbles that come in the set in blue ink, and then colored up these fishy friends with my Copics and trimmed them out. I also added some glitter to the bubbles and the narwhal’s horn, because GLITTER. haha!

After stamping out my sentiment across the diagonal panel (also using my Memento ink in Tuxedo Black), I added some of the smallest Pretty Pink Jewels to the card. I also used some of the beautiful Mint Sparkles Sequins Mix to fill my shaker. I absolutely LOVE the texture in the gold stars as well as the big clear iridescent sequins. So pretty!!

Birthday Food!
Hi Friends! kel here today to share a fun foodie card for a special birthday!!

I used the brand new Crafter’s Essentials 1 Dies on this card – just two of the ten million dies in this set… I kid!! But there really are TONS of dies in this set and they’re all amazing!! So from this new die set, I used the window die and fishtail banner die. I stamped out the “happy birthday” sentiment from the Everyday Brushstrokes Stamp Set using my Memento Tuxedo Black ink. And then I stamped out a bunch of the foodstuffs from the Punny Snacks Stamp Set, fussy cut them, and then colored them up with Copics. I tucked them into the windows and tried to spread them out… LOVE!! This Punny Snacks Stamp Set is just too much fun!!

Belated Father’s Day Waffle!
Hi Friends! kel here today to share a fun card for a special somebody!! I gave it to the hubs for Father’s Day last week so I can share it now. =o)

I used a whole bunch of dies on this card, including the brand new Stitched Scallop Circle dies to make my card (I used the 3rd and 4th largest circle dies). I also used the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle dies on my polka-dot layer in the back, and the widest Stitched Fishtail Banner Die to stamp my sentiment on. I was lucky that it worked out that the sentiment fit so perfectly on that die!!

I used the Waffle Lot Stamp Set by Technique Tuesday for this card for the hubs because our middle child has been on a waffle kick recently… We’ve been eating homemade belgian waffles just about weekly!! And for Father’s day, the boys surprised him by making him a Father’s Day breakfast complete with waffles and his favorite breakfast foods! So I thought that this card would have been perfect!!

I just love that the Stitched Scallop Circle dies are nested far apart enough that you can still see the stitching on the bottom layer!! And I fussy cut the hearts out… phew. That’s all I can say about this little things! haha! The sentiment is stamped in this beautifully rich walnut ink and the hearts and waffle were stamped with my trusty Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then hand colored. The Stitched Fishtail Banner, waffle, and hearts are all popped up on some 3D dots/strips for a little extra oomph!!

You’re the Coolest!
Hi Friends! kel here today to share a fun card for a teenage boy using THREE different Kat Scrappiness stamp sets!

I’m using the new Swatches stamp set, Every Day Brush Strokes stamp set, and the sentiment is from the Punny Snacks stamp set! I just couldn’t help myself! It worked out SOOOO perfectly together.

This card was SO MUCH FUN. I wanted to make something for my oldest (14) to thank him for stepping up and taking on extra chores without complaint. The “without complaint” was the thing I thought needed to be rewarded! I used the one splotch from the Swatches stamp set and both splotches from the Every Day Brush Strokes stamp set, stamping them out in different colors from a variety of Lawn Fawn ink cube sets, particularly the Tropical, Gazebo, Tea Party, and County Fair ink cube sets. I’ve even listed out the colors at the end of this post so you know *exactly* which were used because they look so nice together!! I then stamped out the “you’re the coolest” sentiment from the Punny Snacks stamp set with my Memento black ink pad at the bottom of the splotches.

I stamped out some stars from the Swatches stamp set on a scrap piece of paper using complementary colors from the Lawn Fawn ink cube sets and then cut them out (which was totally easy to do because it was all straight lines lol!). I popped up on some of the stars on 3d squares and tried to stagger them within the ink splotches. SO happy with how this one came together!

Ink colors used:
Stars: Dark Grey (Hippo from Tropical pack), Almost Black (Storm Cloud from County Fair pack), Dark Teal (Merman from Gazebo pack)
Splotches: Light Grey (Manatee from Gazebo pack), Green (Celery Stick from Tea Party pack), Orange (Carrot from Tropical pack), Light Teal (Mermaid from Tropical pack)

A Rainbow of Brush Strokes
Hi Friends! kel here today to share a pair of super fun cards using the new Every Day Brush Strokes stamp set =o)

Today’s cards once again feature the brand-spanking new Every Day Brush Strokes stamp set! I just couldn’t help myself! You know, I really struggled in the beginning with ideas for this set but once I started stamping, I just kept going lol. Love when that happens sometimes.

This first card was SO MUCH FUN. I used the widest brush stroke from the stamp set to create a rainbow down one side of the card. I used colors from a variety of Lawn Fawn ink cube sets, particularly the Tropical, Gazebo, County Fair, and Candy Store ink cube sets. After stamping out the “congratulations” sentiment with my Memento black ink pad, I mounted it on some black cardstock so that the colors stand out even more!

And here’s a close-up of how BEAUTIFUL those colors came out.

The second card I made used the same Lawn Fawn ink cube sets, and the sentiment was stamped with the same Memento black ink pad. I also used the second-largest Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle dies and popped it up on some 3d squares… and then placed it at an angle for fun!! I tried to make this one like a random paint splatter/brushing, but it came out pretty symmetrical. Whoops!! haha!!
